The Power Of Love

Bea, a three-year-old giraffe, and Wilma, an ostrich, share a moment at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida's 65-acre Serengeti Plain. Just as they do on Africa's plains, the animals usually hang out with their own species. But recently, zoo keepers at Busch Gardens noticed the unlikely pair that just can't seem to get enough of one another.

Who Wants To Be Yankee's Lackey?

There are not many countries in the world where George W. Bush is regarded as something of a hero. He is, however, in India — a marker of how relations between the world’s largest democracy and its oldest flourished during his tenure as President.
Hillary Clinton’s visit to India this week, her first as Secretary of State, gave probably the best insight yet into how President Obama intends to carry forward that relationship, set to become one of the most important — and potentially trickiest — among the major nations as the 21st century progresses...source

Astonishing Incongruities
Is It Time to Bail Out of America?
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
California State Controller John Chiang announced on January 26 that California’s bills exceed its tax revenues and credit line and that the state is going to print its own money known as IOUs. The template is already designed.
Instead of receiving their state tax refunds in dollars, California residents will receive IOUs. Student aid and payments to disabled and needy will also come in the form of IOUs. California is negotiating with banks to get them to accept the IOUs as deposits.
California is often identified as the world’s eighth largest economy, and it is broke...continue reading

Witness Taken To USA..Why?

Mumbai, Jan 13: A lady, one of the witnesses in the November 26 terror attacks, who saw the ten terrorists land in the city, has gone missing, prompting the police to launch a search.Anita Uddaiya, who saw the terrorists arrive at the Fisherman's Colony in Cuffe Parade on November 26, has been missing since January 11, police said.She had been taken to the J J Hospital earlier to identify the bodies of the nine killed terrorists, they said.The woman had seen the terrorists land in a rubber dinghy on the beach at the colony. When she asked them where they came from she was told to mind her own business.Uddaiya, who deals in scrap, lives with her niece and her family in the colony. Her absence was first noticed by her niece who informed her daughter, after she was unable to find her.The woman's daughter, who stays in neighbouring Thane, filed a missing complaint with the police."She is suspected to have visited her husband who is currently undergoing treatment in St George Hospital in South Mumbai for an ailment and then went missing," officers at the Cuffe Parade police station said.However, Crime Branch of the city police, investigating the terror attacks, said Uddaiya's disappearance would not significantly affect the trial of the lone captured terrorist, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, as she was not a key witness in his trial.Kasab is to soon face trial in 12 cases filed by the police pertaining to the terror strikes.

Mumbai, Jan 15: Anita Uddaiya, the woman who saw the six terrorists involved in the November 26 terror attacks arrive in the city, claims she was taken to the US and questioned by investigating agencies there."I was informed that the (U.S.) officers who questioned me about the Mumbai attacks here earlier would take me to America. They came on Sunday morning and had taken me to America in a flight," Uddaiya told reporters."I had lied to the police when I returned home stating that I went to Satara district as the officers told me not to disclose anything about my visit to America," Uddaiya said.Uddaiya went missing on Sunday morning and returned to Mumbai yesterday at around 1.30 AM to her home.She had seen the terrorists land in a rubber dinghy on the beach at the colony. But when she asked them where they had come from, she was told to mind her own business.Giving details, she said on Saturday at around 10.00 PM, the investigating officers were supposed to come to her home."Since we were informed about Uddiaya's America visit, we sat with her throughout the night waiting for the American investigators. Nobody turned up till morning 5 AM. At that time, Uddaiya went to toilet from where she was whisked away by the investigators," said Madhusudhan Nair, president of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Nagar slum area where Uddaiya resides.Uddaiya said four officers were inside the posh vehicle and one of them knew Hindi."First, I was taken to St George Hospital to see my husband Rajendra. I told him that I would return home in a couple of days," Uddaiya said. "From the hospital I was taken to airport", Uddaiya said adding "I was sitting in the airport while they (officers) were showing all the documents to the officials at the airport. I had no luggage with me. After sometime, I boarded the flight but I was feeling uncomfortable," Uddaiya recalled. Uddaiya, who spent 17-18 hours in her flight to the U.S., said she was told "we were heading to America. I could not eat in the flight properly as they were serving chocolates, sandwiches and some other stuff. I don't know how I managed to eat that food." "I was taken to a posh hotel in a car soon after I landed in America. After a couple of hours, we all went to a building where I was asked several questions about the terrorists and Mumbai attacks," she said.She said she was asked about the terrorists whom she had seen landing at Mumbai. "The questions were translated in Hindi by one of them and whatever answers I had given were also explained to them in English. Everything was over in two to three hours." "I even called Hamid Qureshi (a scrap dealer where she works in Mumbai) telling him that I am safe," she said adding she was taken to the hotel subsequently and then to the airport to board a flight back to Mumbai.On returning home in a taxi from Mumbai airport, she said she was confused and surprised at what was happening around her. "I told the police that I had been to Satara as investigators (American officers) told me not to reveal anything about the American visit," she said.On her return, Uddaiya said she was taken to Cuffe Parade police station for recording her statement. After the Mumbai attacks, Uddaiya had also been shown pictures of ten terrorists but she was not taken to J J Hospital to identify the bodies of the terrorists, she said."Since I was unwilling to do so, the Mumbai police did not take me to J J hospital," she said.Uddaiya, who deals in scrap, had been living with her husband, daughter and son in the colony of Cuffe Parade in south Mumbai

The End Of USA/Isreal Dominance?

USA needs $$ but who is going to lend to a bankrupt government that is ruled by financial crooks, the military-security complex, and the Jew Lobby?

January 11, 2009 The collapsing US economy Will the Government Turn to the Printing Press? http://www.vdare.com/roberts/090111_economy.htm
By Paul Craig Roberts According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payroll employment declined by 3,445,000 from December 2007 through December 2008. The collapse in employment is across the board. Construction lost 520,000 jobs. Manufacturing lost 806,000 jobs. Trade, transportation and utilities lost 1,495,000 jobs (retail trade accounted for 1,120,000 of this loss). Financial activities lost 145,000 jobs. Professional and business services lost 713,000 jobs. Even government lost 188,000 jobs. Only in health care and social assistance has the economy been able to eke out a few new jobs. Many analysts believe the job losses will be as great or greater during 2009...read more

Who will save Israel from itself?
By Mark LeVine
The Israeli government's justifications for the war are being scrutinised GALLO/GETTY One by one the justifications given by Israel for its latest war in Gaza are unravelling. The argument that this is a purely defensive war, launched only after Hamas broke a six-month ceasefire has been challenged, not just by observers in the know such as Jimmy Carter, the former US president who helped facilitate the truce, but by centre-right Israeli intelligence think tanks. The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, whose December 31 report titled "Six Months of the Lull Arrangement Intelligence Report," confirmed that the June 19 truce was only "sporadically violated, and then not by Hamas but instead by ... "rogue terrorist organisations". Instead, "the escalation and erosion of the lull arrangement" occurred after Israel killed six Hamas members on November 4 without provocation and then placed the entire Strip under an even more intensive siege the next day...read more

Robert Fisk: Why do they hate the West so much, we will ask

So once again, Israel has opened the gates of hell to the Palestinians. Forty civilian refugees dead in a United Nations school, three more in another. Not bad for a night's work in Gaza by the army that believes in "purity of arms". But why should we be surprised?..read it

The Real Estate War in Gaza
The History and "Morals" of Ethnic Cleansing
By VICTORIA BUCH
I arrived in Israel 40 years ago. It took me many years to understand that the very existence of my country, as it is today, is based on an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The project started many years ago. Its seed can be traced to the basic fallacy of the Zionist movement, which set out to establish a Jewish-national state in a location already inhabited by another nation. Under these conditions, one has, at most, a moral right to strive for a bi-national state; establishing a national state implies, more or less by definition, ethnic cleansing of the previous inhabitants...read more

Is Fatah Doomed?
What is New About Gaza?
By LAWRENCE DAVIDSON

Shortly thereafter Israel purposely broke the truce by crossing the Gaza border on the pretext of destroying a tunnel which they said was to be used to kidnap Israeli soldiers. The application of common sense demonstrates that this was not a believable tale. The tunnel certainly existed, but it did not cross the border into Israel. The Israelis, obviously knowing about the tunnel, could have simply waited to see if the tunnel came into Israeli territory and then destroy it. If this happened the Israelis would have a strong case for their actions and the truce would most likely survive action against Hamas within Israel. But there was no proof that Hamas was intent on using the tunnel to attack Israeli troops as long as there was a truce...read more

Killing Each Other

"The Jew, whom the whole world persecuted, survived by the strength of an idea and now sits in the high places of the world, playing with nations as a chess-player with his pieces. He knows too that his own life and the lives of others are of no value, that they are mere dust in the balance compared with the life of his idea"

Despite It's Military Might, Israel is a Weak and Dying State
The Self-Defense of Suicide
By OREN BEN-DOR

Echoing Lebanon 2006, the people of Gaza are being butchered by murderous pilots of a murderous state. Ground forces will soon butcher many more. This widely-expected repetition of Israel’s large scale violence is carried out after a long process that was triggered when Israel unilaterally cleared its settlements and ground presence from Gaza only to create what has been described as a remote-controlled human zoo. Israel has maintained total control over Gaza’s borders, its air and sea space, its economy, its electricity, food and medical supplies. The people of Gaza have been starved, humiliated and constantly intimidated. However, whether the withdrawal was well-intended or not engages little with the reasons rockets are being defiantly shot at the Israeli towns of Sderot, Ashkelon and Beer Sheva.
Beyond achieving very short term relief from rocket attacks the scale of Israel’s violence is question-begging and thought provoking. Israel’s actions, justified by the “no choice” (ein brera) and “self-defence” rhetoric, can temporarily put the lid on the volcano of hatred around Israel and within it but, after the initial shock and awe, it is surely destined to bring much more violence...continue

"Noam Chomsky remarked recently. “With Obama, Israel and less than 2 per cent of the American population is now in full control of the American government.” So, is there any evidence that when he sits down in the Oval Office, Obama will try to set a new course?"

Moshe Dayan Quotes
I feel I've lived so long, and went through so much, that all I want is calm and rest.
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies
Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist
Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.
There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.

USA and Isreal should merge..the new nation will be called USRAEL..the new capital JEW WORK;-)...both share the same policy..both like to dominate,terrorise and bully..it will be much safer for both of them..there will be no disturbances,attacks from muslims or non usraelis..do you all agree?..."
