DEBUNK the
ZIONIST
MEDIA:
BUILD ISLAMIC-OPPRESSED
PEOPLES'
MEDIA
We need thousands of people to write
critical letters against the lies
propagated every day in the Zionist-controlled
media
of America (which have
worldwide branches). There should be a stream of
criticism against the liars
and fabricators who control the major media. Even
if these letters are not
published, they can be distributed in local
communities to enhance
understanding.
Build independent media, like New Trend,
which should support the causes
of all oppressed people. There should be a
network of "New Trends" (whatever
their name) across the world, dependable for
their honesty and courage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAY AWAY FROM CONSPIRACY THEORIES
The Zionist
Jews
in America are successful
because they are
well-organized, systematic, involved in
networking and well-funded. It has
nothing to do with any dark conspiracies. These
people, according to their
crooked understanding, love Israel and want to
enslave the whole world to
help the Jewish adventure in the Middle East.
Among Muslims, there are a bunch of
mentally defeated people who live
on conspiracy theories. Such theories usually
come from people who think the
enemy is too strong and that the Muslims can do
nothing. IRANIANS are the
most active conspiracy theorists and most
conspiracy theories floating around
today originated in Al-Manar (Iran-backed) TV,
Tehran Times and other Iranian
and pro-Iranian affiliates. In Iran, we have a
major state trying to subvert
and infiltrate the Muslims of the world. Notice
that like the U.S., the
IRANIANS OPPOSEDED BOTH the TALIBAN and SADDAM.
Both the U.S. and Iran are
friends of Karzai, Musharraf and Vajpai. This is
no conspiracy but an
intersection of interests which go against the
unity of the Ummah. If the
Ummah unites, both American and Iranian interests
suffer.
Conspiracy theories usually do not notice
that the people they think are
running the world, who can supposedly get way
with anything, such as Mossad,
the
CIA,
the FBI have been bungling and messing
up for years.
In every issue, we must LOOK FOR EVIDENCE.
If it is not readily
available, do the research and study the issues.
Go to origins. Don't quote
what other irresponsible people have quoted.
------------------------------------------------------
RIGHTS OF WOMEN and MINORITIES:
From both an ideological and tactical
viewpoint, Muslims must ensure
that the rights of women and minorities are
safeguarded. The enemies of Islam
can not defeat the Muslim world without dividing
it from within. Last
Christmas, under Musharraf's regime an attempt
was made to attack Christians
in
Pakistan
and the Islamic movement was going to
be blamed for it.
Fortunately the attempt failed.
There is also the issue of "honor killings"
in Jordan and Pakistan
which is being exploited by the Zionists. These
atrocities do occur among
some extremely backward segments of our society.
We must not let puppets like
Mubarak
and Musharraf emerge as champions of
"women's rights" in the West's
efforts to discredit the Islamic movements.
[Read Achebe's book THINGS FALL APART, the
story of a
Nigerian
village, which illustrates how European powers
can, even in a cohesive
society, take advantage of its inner
contradictions to humiliate and destroy
it.]

FINALLY, STOP WAITING FOR JESUS, or the MAHDI or
SALADIN to emerge from the
heavens. "Each one of you is a ruler and each one
of you is responsible ...."

Bukhari.)

ANARCHY, THE EPILOGUE TO GENOCIDE
By Edward Miller, San Rafael, California
"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am
involved in mankind, and
therefore never send to know for whom the bell
tolls; it tolls for thee." -
John Donne, 1572-1631
"They made a wasteland and called it 'peace'"
Tacitus (Roman
historian 55-117AD)
As American and British forces bludgeon their
way across Iraq, trashing
and killing at will, bombing public buildings,
offices, telecommunications
centers and whatever small concentrations of
Saddam's forces threaten their
progress, the Iraqi people are ignored, swept
aside or killed. The death
toll of citizens is now in the thousands, and
Saddam's Guards wherever
they have attempted to make a stand against an
overwhelming firepower have
been either destroyed by tank or helicopter
fire or obliterated by bombs.
Some brigades have already surrendered to either
American or British forces.
Most of the major cities have been overrun by
the advancing invaders,
though scattered pockets of resistance remain.
Saddam's birthplace,
Tikrit as I write, is suffering the fate of
Iraq's other population
centers.
The anarchy resulting from this barbaric exercise
in the preemptive
destruction of a people as civilized if not more
than their invaders,
plays across the media screens of the world as
disorganized crowds in the
cities plunder at will. Wounded children with
amputated limbs cry softly
in crowded, dirty and poorly-equipped hospital
wards where weary physicians
have armed themselves to prevent street mobs from
stealing hospital supplies
and equipment. The blasted and burned-out
skeletons of cars with the
charred bodies of their occupants sprawl on
the highways attesting to
some Iraqi patriots' suicidal attacks on
American tanks or armoured
vehicles. Red Cross workers report seeing
trucks carrying the bodies of
"dismembered women and children" leaving Baghdad.
The invaders seem
utterly unable to control the pillaging of
public buildings, stores and
food establishments, or even hospitals and
museums. Individual
homeowners shown on the media complain the
soldiers seized their few
private firearms, leaving them prey to
intruders. Lost forever to the
world's classical scholars, archeologists,
historians and students of art are
170,000 museum pieces from antiquity looted
from Baghdad's National
Museum. Classical scholars had personally
traveled to Washington before the
invasion to get assurance that these treasures
would be protected. To no
avail. The bubbleheads in our Capital allowed
the door to be slammed shut
on 7000 years of early human history.
Much of the uncontrolled pillaging in Iraq's
cities seen on the media as
anarchy spreads across that Nation's wasteland
can be explained by the
devastating poverty visited on Saddam's people,
who, while recovering from
an eight-year war with Iran were then
subject to the devastation of
"Desert Storm" The plan initiated by the
first
Bush
administration, and
followed throughout the Clinton years, was to
destroy the infrastructure
of Iraq and kill its people, using a
combination of starvation and
biological (call it bacteriological) warfare,
Americans, for ten long
years, have been missing one of the most
egregious genocides in history.
Since the Gulf War, almost two million Iraqis,
mostly the elderly, children,
and babies, have been slaughtered by a
US-British-UN program designed to
maim and kill.
There were actually two Gulf Wars. One, to recall
Saddam's troops from
Kuwait, the second, to destroy the infrastructure
of Iraq, "bombing it back
into the pre-industrial age," as General
Schwarzkopf put it. The destruction
of telecommunications, water supplies, sewage
treatment plants, and oil
facilities had nothing to do with Kuwait, but
with the unspoken US-UN intent
to destroy Iraq with those Apocalyptic weapons of
mass destruction: war,
famine, pestilence, and death. Noam Chomsky
correctly called this
"biological warfare." During the Gulf War the
Pentagon stated it conducted
110,000 aerial sortees in 42 days, one every 30
seconds, unleashing 85,000
tons of bombs. Iraq was essentially
defenseless, On March 3rd, 1991 the
London Times
reported allied intelligence
estimated 200,000 Iraqi soldiers
were killed., a number the Pentagon agreed with
(Ramsey Clark America
Online March 09, 2003 *) "Civilian casualties
from the bombing were in
the tens of thousands. Thousands died from
direct bomb hits, but far more
died from destruction of the facilities
essential to human life. Within
hours of the first bomb there was no electricity
anywhere in Iraq. In the
first two days, pipes distributing water ran dry
throughout the country.
By February 1991 Iraq's Minister of Health
estimated 3000 civilians dead and
another 25,000 were in hospitals and clinics. A
quarter of a million more
were sick without medicines or medical care. from
drinking polluted water..
(ibid *)
On Sept. 17, 2000, Professor Thomas J. Nagy of
George Washington University
made public a seven page document he had
obtained, prepared by the US Defense
Intelligence Agency. The report, hidden by the
government for ten years,
outlined the Gulf Allies' plan to set the stage
for a water-born genocide in
that country. The report reads: "Iraq had gone to
considerable trouble to
provide pure water for its population...
importing specialized equipment and
purification chemicals... a shortage of pure
drinking water... could lead to
increased incidents, if not epidemics of
disease... Full degradation of the
water treatment system will probably take at
least six months." The Agency's
report "was circulated to all major Allied
commands." This information
identified not only bombing targets, but those
specific chemicals and
specialized water purification equipment which
the US and British then added
to their list of embargoed items, to be certain
the genocide would succeed.
As intended, Allied bombing destroyed dams,
reservoirs, wrecking flood
control, irrigation, and hydroelectric power.
Pumping stations were crippled
as were 31 municipal water and sewage facilities.
As raw sewage poured into
the Tigris River, the Iraqis only remaining
source of water, they died by the
thousands. The allies dropped 88,500 tons of
bombs, equivalent to seven
Hiroshimas, rendering 1.8 million Iraqis homeless
and killing over 150,000
Iraqi troops.
The Fourth Geneva Convention which the US signed
clearly states: "It is
prohibited to attack or render useless objects
indispensable to the survival
of the civilian population"... "including
drinking water supplies and
irrigation works." Professor Nagy intends to
pursue, under International law,
criminal indictments against those responsible.
Added to the carnage of Dessert Storm, the US and
British fired "anti-tank"
shells containing depleted uranium, which
disintegrates on contact to burn
with intense heat, leaving free uranium 238
particles to blow about freely in
the desert winds. Inhalation of this dust is
already creating both a marked
increase in childhood lymphomas, plus numerous
birth deformities. Since the
half-life of depleted uranium is 125,000 years,
lethal radiation from our
shells will continue killing the civilian
population in Iraq for generations.
Americans have also forgotten that on Dec. 16,
1998, while sexual McCarthyism
played out on the floor of Congress, President
Clinton again ordered Patriot
and Tomahawk missiles to hail down on Baghdad.
Operation "Desert Fox" (called
"OPERATION MONICA" in the Mideast) created
extensive damage, killed over
25 civilians, and targeted one of the few oil
refineries still able to
function. To interrupt the impeachment process,
Clinton, before he set the
attack in motion, had carefully crafted Chief UN
Inspector Butler's report to
make certain it appeared Saddam was interfering
with the UNSCOM Team.
By 1998, Rick McDowell, whose "Voices in the
Wilderness" group had visited
Iraq many times since 1991, reported, "As of
1995, over a million Iraqis have
died, 576,000 of them children, and three million
risk acute starvation...
More children have died... than the total of the
two atomic bombs dropped on
Japan." McDowell noted the Oil for Food program
was a failure since
reparations to Kuwait, paying for UNSCOM and
support for the Kurds ate up
over 40 percent, leaving less than 25
cents/person/day for the Iraqis.
McDowell said UN Security Council sanction which
embargo pipes, pumps,
filters, chlorine, ambulance tires, and
everything necessary to produce
potable water represent a "war of collective
punishment."
Some Americans may recall that in October 1998,
Denis J. Halliday, Assistant
Secretary-General of the UN and Chief of UNSCOM's
"Oil for Food" resigned in
disgust over the US-British interference with his
program in an "all-out
effort to starve to death as many Iraqis as
possible." He added: "We see the
member states... of the Security Council
manipulating the organization for
their own national interests." Halliday reported
UN sanctions had reduced a
once-proud civilization to third world status,
resulting in crime,
prostitution, beggary, family breakdown and
corruption. He said Iraqis "were
selling their belongings for food." Under Saddam
Hussein, Halliday noted:
"Iraq experienced the best civilization in the
Mideast with universal medical
care, the finest hospitals, free university
education and overseas grants for
graduate students....I went to Iraq to administer
the largest humanitarian
challenge in history I didn't realize the level
of complicity in the
suffering. It is to the point of madness. One
day we will be called into
account."
Halliday, Ex-Attorney Ramsey Clark and others
have reported mass starvation,
waterborn diseases previously unknown in Iraq:
diarrhea, cholera, strep,
hepatitis, typhoid and polio (which had been
eradicated). Animal plagues such
as Hoof-and-mouth-disease for which the US
forbids the importation of the
vaccine to control this disease, kills one Iraqi
source of protein.
Screwworm, introduced by our CIA, killed off
much of the sheep and goat
population on which the people largely depended.
No need to fire
plaque-bearing missiles into a country when you
have already contaminated the
drinking water with sewage, and, with a strict
embargo, forbidden the import
of every single item necessary to clean it up.
Right up to Bush's ongoing invasion of Saddam's
country the US and Britain
have pursued this devastation despite rising
world criticism. Their north and
south overflights, (never authorized by tdhe UN),
and bombing missions were
still murdering Saddam's people (over 2000
killed since 1998), and wrecking
any attempts by the Iraqis to rebuild their
economy. Iraq's out-of-date
antiaircraft batteries never reached high-flying
US-British planes, so
bombing in retaliation "because their radar
locked on" was but another cheap
US-Brit excuse for killing.
To pursue this mayhem, the US had simply ignored
their fellow members in the
Security Council where Russia, China and France,
amongst others, frequently
asked US to quit the sanctions and normalize
trade. Even ex-UNSCOM officer
Scott Ritter called bypassing the Security
Council while pursuing a campaign
to remove Saddam: "A failing and contradictory US
policy." Back in Aug.
1999, France's Interior Minister stated his
government "will not support a
policy which victimizes innocent Iraqi citizens."
The French government noted
when UN's Butler, on Clinton's order, tossed
out UNSCOM inspectors, "they
had tracked down and destroyed all the existing
nuclear, biological, and
chemical weapons capacity they were every going
to find." UN expert and
author Phyllis Bennis reported the Security
Council "prevented UNSCOM from
making its findings public. Such organizations
as Voices-In-The-Wilderness
group,
Amnesty International,
the International
Red Cross, and the Red
Crescent as well as the Russian, French, Chinese
and other UN
Security-Council members, have all decried our
genocide in Iraq.
The campaign by the media to cover-up this
genocide has never ceased... Hans
von Spondek, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for
Iraq, who took over Halliday's
position and likewise resigned in protest over
the genocide, in an
interview May 6, 2000, stated: "in Boston to
meet with the editor of the
Boston Globe (owned by the
NY Times
),
I was told
not to refer, even, to the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or the UN
Charter, because they have
no meaning in that paper." (The Boston Globe is
owned by the NY Times). Von
Spondek reported the death rate for children
had tripled since 1991, and
even much-needed electricity was often lacking in
Baghdad. The UN had
allowed only $112 million for repairs whereas the
system rehabilitation
minimum was over $7.1 billion. Saddam's people,
once the best-educated in
the Mideast on a 1989 $2.1 billion school budget,
with sanctions struggled
with $229 million. The literacy rate fell from
over 90 percent to barely 60
percent. Computers can't be imported, as the UN
fears "military use."
Forty-four Congressmen sent Clinton a letter
demanding the sanctions be
lifted, to no avail
As I write OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM is grinding
down as tanks and armoured
vehicles move through Tikrit without significant
resistance. The American
military machine running on a $400 billion
budget, as was anticipated,
overwhelmed Iraq's obsolete army whose budget was
$1.9 billion. Saddam's
air cover had never been replaced since the Gulf
War, and under UN sanctions
he was not allowed enough money to provide
even simple maintenance for
his antiquated military machine. The US media
as in the Gulf War, has
continuously exaggerated Saddam's military
strength for a compliant and
ignorant US audience. Our "brave fighters"
have, to date, not faced
significant military resistance. Saddam's
Republcan Guard were completely
unable to defend themselves, though several
thousand bravely offered their
lives in this useless exercise. Iraqi
ex-patriots returning to defend
their country, along with uncounted
mujahadeen
from Muslim countries, have
managed to inflict occasional damage to the
US/Brit forces, delaying the
Pentagon's timetable.
What will be done to lift Iraq out of this
Washington-produced
humanitarian morass is anyone's guess. Anti-War
protestors still march in
the the streets of capitals around the world.
The estimated costs to
return Iraq to its pre-Gulf War status run
between $300-$400 billion.
Robert Ebel, Director of the energy program at
the Center for Strategic and
International Studies in Washington, says that
even if Iraq gets its oil
production up to the $18 Billion/year pre-war
level, "That's not going to go
very far." Bush promised to rebuild and
democratize Iraq, but if
Afghanistan
is an example this will be another
abject failure. Even the
streets in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital are not
safe at night. There is
anarchy throughout that country though our CIA
is still bribing tribal
leaders to reduce internecine warfare. The
Afghans still lack clean water
and sewage facilities, transportation, postal,
banking and health systems
and a police force. Only a fraction of the
promised international monies
have surfaced and recently, two close political
appointees of the West's
chosen president, Karsai, have been murdered..
Can we expect Bush to keep
any of his promises to Iraq aside from
refurbishing their oil industry for
western interests?

PENTAGON MUSLIMS: The Most Confused People in the
World!
"Yet here we find that there are Muslims, or so
they
claim to be, working at the very nerve center of
the
planning and execution of the rape of the Muslim
world!!!"
[From Br. Eric Mueller, Texas]
I just found this story about Muslims who are
working
in the Pentagon being upset that Franklin Graham
has
been invited to speak there even though he has
called
Islam an "evil religion."
I would add that not only has Graham done that,
but he
is one of the missionaries whose organizations
are
planning to impose themselves on the Iraqi people
under the shadow of American tanks, thanks to the
help
and support of the Pentagon.
So obviously he is obnoxious.
But I would like to know on WHAT BASIS are
MUSLIMS
working in the PENTAGON?
Are they slaves who have been CHAINED there?
Setting aside the acknowledgement by the majority
of
Muslim scholars that fighting against naked
aggression
and invasion of a Muslim country is JIHAD and
therefore an obligation on all who are needed to
wage
it, around the world Muslim scholars have said
that it
is at least haram to HELP the invaders.
Yet here we find that there are Muslims, or so
they
claim to be, working at the very nerve center of
the
planning and execution of the rape of the Muslim
world!!!
They claim to have Islamic prayer services in the
Pentagon. What in the world are they doing at
those
jum`ah prayers? Do they call on Allah to bless
the
invaders and murderers of the Muslims there?
Astaghfir Allah!
Ibrahim Hooper says that inviting Graham sends
the
wrong message.
No, it sends precisely the correct message from
the
Pentagon. They are
CRUSADERS!
That's what they
ARE!
We should not be shocked that they express all
the
hate and prejudice of Crusaders. Why should we
want
to cover up what they are? Why should we pretend
that
they are something benign and pleasant?
Of course we should not be shocked that Crusaders
want
to listen to Franklin Graham.
But we have a right to be shocked at finding
Muslims
inside the Pentagon helping the Crusaders as they
seek
to murder our people and stamp out our heritage!
They
should be forced to sit and listen to Graham
denounce
Islam so that they can come face to face with
what
they are doing.
wa-s-salam!

Pentagon Muslims Angered by Rev. Graham
Invitation
By Sue Pleming
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Muslims at the Pentagon
are
incensed by what they say is an insensitive
invitation
to evangelist Rev. Franklin Graham, who has
called
Islam an "evil religion," to preach on Good
Friday at
the Defense Department.
In letters to the Pentagon chaplain's office this
week, Muslim office workers complained strongly
about
Graham's plans to lead prayers on Friday, one of
the
most religious days in the Christian calendar.
The letters urged officials to find a "more
inclusive
and honorable" religious leader to take his
place.
A spokesman for Graham, son of the Rev. Billy
Graham
and head of a Minneapolis-based evangelist
association
in his father's name, confirmed on Tuesday he
would
attend Friday's service, where prayers were
likely to
focus on U.S. military action in Iraq -- a
largely
Muslim country.
