Information “DEFICIENCY”?

Referring to my previous post, if anyone goes through the sources of my story, something strange will be noticed.

The BBC Arabic article does not include the whole truth about the matter. Read the English articles using the links provided in that post. You will see how much info that Arabic BBC article lacks. The English articles show the details of the disaster supported with numbers of the starving people while the Arabic article includes what may be seen as a mild problem that world food organizations are taking care of. So who is responsile for not showing Arabs the whole truth? The truth that they should know and react upon?

Starving Palestinians

In a BBC news story, published on Friday, July26, 2002, a report commisioned by the US Agency for International Development showed the increasingly poverty levels and health problems in Palestine. It also showed high dependence of Palestinians on food handouts and a big rise in malnutrition in Palestinian children under the age of five.

I got freaked out when I read that “According to the World Bank, 70% of Palestinians live on less than $2 a day.”

“This photo is for a Palestinian babygirl suffering from the symptoms of nutrition deficiencies”

It is a ”humanitarian disaster” as the US ambassador to Israel said to the Shimon Peres, former Israeli Prime Minister. Peres has said the government will release some $40m of frozen tax revenues to the Palestinians.

Anyone would think that that would decrease the problem a little bit.The link for this article is:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2153377.stm

In his analystic article ”Hungry In Gaza”, published on Wednesday, March5, 2003 in the Guardian, Peter Hansen mentioned that “a dreadful, silent malnutrition is stalking the Palestinians. ” and that “the Palestinians are suffering in the main from micro- nutrient deficiencies – what the World Health Organisation calls the “hidden hunger”.

Well, actually micro-nutrient deficiencies hinder a normal mental and physical growth. So The mental and physical development of a generation of Palestinian children hangs in the balance.

For more details about that “Hidden Hunger” bad effects on the children, please refer to this link where you can read the whole article handling the implications of such a problem.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,907727,00.html

But if you already noticed, that was all in the past. (As you can see the first article was in 2002 and the second in 2003)

However, after more than about five years and after the whole world witnessed the hungry children in Palestine including all the organizations and aid agencies all over the world, you may think that the problem is at least not getting worse.

The fact is the problem is getting worse and worse. Recently, there were so many news sotries announcing that “NEARLY HALF THE PALESTINIANS ARE HUNGRY”

According to a U.N. recent report nearly half the palestinian families in Gaza and the West Bank do not have enough food. So, the problem now is not a lack of vitamins and other nutritions. It is a lack of food itself. The stuff we put in our stomach to feel full. To stop that stomach from barking. 

 The report said 46 percent of Gaza and West Bank families are “food insecure” or face the possibility of becoming food insecure in the near future, and many of those households desperate for nourishment are selling off assets that will have an “irreversible impact on livelihoods.”

The problem is especially acute in Gaza, where four out of five families lack even the most basic food items, the Independent said.

Guess what, afer the Israelis got blamed for the starvation they created, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said his government will continue talks with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to work to improve the quality of life in the Palestinian territories, the Jerusalem Post said. Well, we all know that Israel is satisfied with the fact that Palestinians are starving. So no matter what they do, it won`t work. Theu are now completing the process of building that BARRIER that will increase the problem and create more than starvation.

34 percent of Palestinian nursing homes earn less than a dollar and a half a day. What???

According to that 2002 article, they earned about 2 dollars aday. Now it is a dollar and a half. What is next? So after 4 years or so, we will hear that these people are earning a dollar aday and after about ten other years they will earn NOTHING?

So, How Palestinians should react towards all these injustice acts? What do you expect them to do when they see their own kids suffering? They want a better life for their children. A life that they didn`t have.

Here are some links discussing the recent U.N. report and the problem all Palestinians are facing:

Dutch Politician Keeps Insulting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) & Quran

Someone told me about two weeks before that a satellite channel mentioned that Islam was, AGAIN, insulted. I searched, for awhile, for any news coverage for this topic. I couldn’t find any because the person who told me about this didn’t pay attention to the details and it was so difficult to search for something you don’t know anything about.

But, thank Allah, when I was surfing the net today updating my mind with latest world news, I found what I was previously looking for. 

“Islam is a violent religion. If Muhammad lived here today I could imagine chasing him out of the country tarred and feathered as an extremist,” Dutch anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders told De Pers daily in an interview.
“I know that we’re not going to have a Muslim majority in the next couple of decades, but it is growing,” he said. “You no longer feel that you’re living in your own country. There is a battle under way and we must defend ourselves. There will soon be more mosques than churches here.”Wilders, who has lived under heavy guard since 2004 when a Dutch-Moroccan killed filmmaker and Islam critic Theo van Gogh, has campaigned to ban the Muslim burqa veil, wants to freeze immigration and ban new mosques and religious schools.“If Muslims want to stay here they must tear out half of the Koran and throw it away. They shouldn’t listen to the imam. I’ve read the Koran … and I know that there are enough awful things in it,” he said.When Saudi Arabia complained about what he said and contacted Netherlands, that person said that he had no intention of apologizing to Saudi Arabia for recent comments he made about the Koran.He said,” Are they mad?”, Wilders told ANP. ‘It is a scandal that a country without freedom of speech tries to teach me a lesson.’Wilders told the Volkskrant that he was ‘not happy’ that there would soon be two Muslims in the cabinet. ‘I would rather there were not,’he saidFor more info, you can refer to these sites which were very useful in collecting all these info. :

I am asking everyone to post a comment and say what he/she really thinks and what we should do to reply to all these insults.

US Troops, How Many Children Did You Kill Today?

I read today at Al-Jazeera web site That two children died in a Baghdad battle yesterday. The kids were no older than 12 years old.

I quote this from Al-Jazeera news story:

The statement said soldiers on the western side of the

Tigris had engaged two armed men trying to smuggle weapons across the river by boat.

The men fled to the eastern side, where they were joined by three other gunmen, the military said.

Ok, in the Al Jazeera news story I read that a Reuters photographer, witnessed that incident, said that he saw about 30 US soldiers and several Stryker armoured vehicles, backed up by two helicopters, on the western side of the river.

Oh Allah, 30 US soldiers, several armoured vehicles and two helicopters to fight 5 men? “”"Is that enough?”"”

Sorry, I know the situation is too serious to include sarcasm but I couldn`t help it.

A US military spokesman said:

“We are looking into the circumstances of what caused the incident,” and said it was unclear if the children had been hurt from gunfire or shrapnel from any explosion.

 Who cares?

So, what about these dead children? Of course they will be forgotten and America will consider them a price for a free and stable Iraq. cut the nonsense.

If one American child is wounded, the whole world will stand up and wars will be launched for revenge. But the blood of our children is so cheap. I am going to say no more. Think carefully about this:

What if one of these two children was yours?

Variety Is The Spice Of Life

I have talked a lot about George W Bush and his administration. So, though, I have not actually finished talking about `em, I will try to start a variety of posts that handle different subjects. I don’t know exactly what topic should I start with because there are so many things to talk about.

US Plans In Iraq “DELUSIONAL”

They think they can predict everything. Well, they can`t.

 According to the BBC, The National Security Archive (NSA) which is an independent institute of research at George
Washington University obtained documents  showing that the American invading plans for Iraq were unrealistic. The documents were prepared in August 2002 by the now-retired Gen Tommy Franks and other top commanders at the time.

Let’s compare facts: The documents  showed:

(1)  5,000 US troops is the number that would remain in
Iraq by December 2006.

(2) The commanders predicted that after the fighting was over there would be a two- to three-month “stabilisation” phase, followed by an 18- to 24-month “recovery” stage.

(3) They projected that the US forces would be almost completely “re-deployed” out of Iraq at the end of the “transition” phase – within 45 months of invasion.“Completely unrealistic assumptions about a post-Saddam Iraq permeate these war plans,” NSA executive director Thomas Blanton said in a statement posted on the organisation’s website.

Well, America currently has 132,000 troops in Iraq.

So much for ASSUMPTIONS !!!

The US plans will always fail because they are not built on a stable ground. The war itself is made on false allegations. Those planners do not have faith in what they are doing. They, deep inside, know that what they do is wrong.Look what they did to Iraq. The country is on the brink of a civil war.Is this the stability they were talking about?And now they are sending more troops “to handle the violence”. The violence that they created.

US Has Already Made Plans To Invade Iran ???

I read yesterday, Tuesday, February20, 2007 on BBC web site that “US ‘Iran attack plans’ revealed”. These plans do not just include striking nuclear sites but also include striking most of Iran`s military infrastructure. That means air bases, naval bases, missile facilites and command-and-control centers.

There are two triggers for the attack on Iran:

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says that the triggers for such an attack include any confirmation:

(1) that Iran is really developing nuclear weapons- which it denies.

(2) If a high casualty attack is implemented in Iraq against US forces, it will trigger a bombing campaign if the attack were traced directly back to Tehran.

-Long range B2 stealth bombers would drop so-called “bunker-busting” bombs in an effort to penetrate the Natanz site, which is buried some 25m (27 yards) underground (According to BBC)

 

BBC also said: Earlier this month US officers in Iraq said they had evidence Iran was providing weapons to Iraqi Shia militias. However the most senior US military officer later cast doubt on this, saying that they only had proof that weapons “made in Iran” were being used in Iraq.Gen Peter Pace, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said he did not know that the Iranian government “clearly knows or is complicit” in this. Tehran insists its programme is for civil use only, but Western countries suspect Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons.The UN Security Council has called on Iran to suspend its enrichment of uranium by 21 February.If it does not, and if the International Atomic Energy Agency confirms this, the resolution says that further economic sanctions will be considered.

Bush Lie About 9/11 WTC ATTACKS !!

Dear readers,

                       I cannot tell you how horrified I got when I started doing my reasearch about 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Uptil now, I cannot seem to fathom what I found out. Really, this is BIG guys. It is a conspiracy against the whole world. They are the real terrorists. They are killikng their own people just to justify their crimes against other nations. Bush is a devil in disguise. That is all I can say. He is worst than the devil itself. So let us not waste our time and start stating facts:

George W Bush stated in two occasions that he saw a plane crashing into World Trade Center 1.

Occasion 1:
President Bush Holds Town Hall Meeting
[CNN, Aired December 4, 2001]

QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you’ve done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?

BUSH: Well… (APPLAUSE)

Thank you, Jordan (ph).

Well, Jordan (ph), you’re not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card — actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower — the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly myself, and I said, “There’s one terrible pilot.” And I said, “It must have been a horrible accident.”

But I was whisked off there — I didn’t have much time to think about it, and I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my chief who was sitting over here walked in and said, “A second plane has hit the tower. America’s under attack.”

Occasion 2:
President Holds Town Hall Forum on Economy in California
[whitehouse.gov, January 5, 2002]

“I was sitting there, and my Chief of Staff — well, first of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on…” [whitehouse.gov]

Here is a link that you can use to download what Bush exactly said (You will need to unzip the file and install Real Player to view it) :

And here is a link to download WMA of the comment:

http://rapidshare.com/files/17234501/B-WTC-WMA.rar.html

But what is really weird is how Bush saw the first plane hitting World Trade Center then. There was no live video coverage for the first hit, not until the second plane hit Wrld Trade Center 2.

One of the first videos showing the first plane hitting the tower was broadcasted at 11 a.m. Bush woke up that morning and went to visit a school called Emma E. Booker Elementary in Sarasota. Bush said he saw the first plane while he was at the school. I quote from an article I read before:
 [In the school library, the press corps and his scheduled audience waited. Some close to the podium were unaware of what had happened.
The president emerged from behind a blue curtain just before 9:30 a.m. He gestured for the applauding audience to sit down. His expression was grave, tense, almost pained.
"Thank you," Mr. Bush said, before the applause subsided. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a — difficult moment for America."]

In this quote you can see that Bush met the audience and started telling them about that difficult moment just before 9:30 a.m. How did he watch the first plane hitting WTC before 9:30 while the first broadcast of the first plane hitting WTC was at 11 a.m.?

The article I quoted can be found at this link:

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/bush_booker_washtimes.html

 Interesting !!!

What is also interesting is that Principal Gwen Rigell of Booker Elementary school said that There was no TV in the corridor or anywhere near that classroom so Bush in no way was able to watch the first plane on TV Even if it was aired at the time he was there at the school.

What is interesting the most is that if Bush really did see an airplane on TV hitting the World Trade Center then he saw it before arriving at Booker Elementary because he was en route to the school when the first plane struck WTC 1. But as we see he said that he saw it on TV at the school. How?I am not going to comment on this but what is next is really unbelievable.    

I found a blog called World Trade Center Demolition. The writer of this blog gives unquestionable evidence that WTC was “brought down by controlled demolition”. This is very interesting and I think that my next post will be about this blog and the evidence it offers. The blogger said in that blog:

“The official 9/11 story is a lie. The 9/11 plane crashes were faked. The WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 towers were brought down by some unusual form of demolition. All in all 9/11 appears to be a massive and cruel hoax foisted upon the American people to spark the obscene “war on terror” as well as to cover up financial fraud.”

I also found on another site that over 70 experts and professionals have come forward…including ex-military 
& statesmen, who all claim the same thing…IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB! That means that WTC was blown up from the inside, not by something that hit it from the outside.

First Lie: Bush Administration Was Not Bent On War With Iraq

               We have all heard George W Bush through the year leading up to war talking about the seriousness of the weapons inspection process in Iraq, giving diplomacy a chance to sort things out and giving Saddam Hussein a chance to save his country from a U.S. invasion. That all was a big LIE. Bush said,“I didn’t want war. To assume I wanted war is just flat wrong … with all due respect,” he told a reporter. “No president wants war.” To those who say otherwise, “it’s simply not true,” Bush said. But what I am going to mention now proves that what Bush and his administration told us was deceptive and cannot be described but as a lie:

According to a memo of a two-hour meeting between Bush and Blair at the White House on Jan. 31,2003, they decided to invade Iraq even if the UN weapons inspectors found NO evidence of such weapons. If you want to read more about this visit this link:

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/story/0,,1700881,00.html

But according to the following evidence, Bush had made up his mind to invade Iraq in July 2002. This memo reveals that Bush made a decision of waging war against Iraq even if the timing was not yet decided:

http://www.downingstreetmemo.com/memos.html

And during a private White House dinner, nine days after Sept. 11, 2001, Bush asked Blair to help him remove Saddam from power:

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/politics/story/0,6903,1185407,00.html

Richard Clarke, former White House counter-terrorism director: “Rumsfeld was saying that we needed to bomb Iraq. And we all said … no, no. Al-Qaeda is in Afghanistan. … The president dragged me into a room with a couple of other people, shut the door, and said, ‘I want you to find whether Iraq did this.’ Now he never said, ‘Make it up.’ But the entire conversation left me in absolutely no doubt that George Bush wanted me to come back with a report that said Iraq did this. [CBS 60 Minutes, 3/21/04]

Former Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham related a conversation he had with General Tommy Franks in February 2002, 14 months before the initiation of the Iraq war. Franks said, “Senator, we are not engaged in a war in Afghanistan… Military and intelligence personnel are being redeployed to prepare for an action in Iraq… We can finish this job in Afghanistan if we are allowed to do so.” [Bob Graham, Intelligence Matters, p. 125-126]

According to Time`s March 31 road-to-war story, Bush interrupted, one day in March 2002, a meeting on UN sanctions against Iraq telling his national security council, Condoleezza Rice, “F*** Saddam, we`re taking him out.” So much for diplomacy. Where is all that giving-diplomacy-a chance talk? 

Tony Blair`s former secretary for international development, Clare Short, told the London Guardian that Bush and Blair made a secret pact , in the summer of 2002, to invade Iraq in either February or March of 2003. In the fall of 2002, CBS News obtained some meeting notes taken by Rumsfeld aide at 2:40 on the afternoon of September 11, 2001. The notes indicate that Rumsfeld wanted the “best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at smae time. Not only UBL [Usama Bin Laden]………Go massive. Sweep it all up. Things related and not.” 

I would like to say that this lie is just the tip of an ice berg because if anyone digs and tries to know more about Bush and his administration, horrible lies will be found out.                                                                         Ahmed Ismail
