UNITED NATIONS: UN leader Ban Ki-moon said Thursday he believes Al-Qaeda committed a major bomb attack in Damascus that left dozens dead, and that up to 10,000 people have now been killed in Syria.

(For those not informed about this important geo-strategic tragedy, which is a step towards an ultimate attack on Iran after Syria is dealt with, then on to Pakistan/Central Asia, followed by Russia and then China...........USA cannot take on ALL of them ALL at the same time.

The Western Jewish narrative so far has been that it is the Assad regime in Damascus which is killing Syrian women, children, its own soldiers, police and even generals.

But this is the first time an important public figure has stated that "al-CIA-duh" is in fact carrying out at least some of the killing, with the Assad regime responding to these attacks in defense to maintain stability and peace in its country. "al-CIA-duh" does not want peace in Syria)

Ban said President Bashar al-Assad has still not implemented a peace plan agreed with UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan.

“Very alarmingly and surprisingly, a few days ago, there was a huge serious massive terrorist attack. I believe that there must be Al-Qaeda behind it. This has created again very serious problems,” Ban said at a youth event at the UN headquarters.

Suicide attackers detonated huge bombs in Damascus on May 10, killing at least 55 people and wounding nearly 400.

Syria has accused Al-Qaeda of orchestrating attacks in the country in recent weeks, adding to the strife caused by the uprising against Assad.

“More than 9,000, at least, maybe 10,000 people have been killed during the last 15 months. It has reached an intolerable situation now,” Ban said.

US and Russian officials have also said they believe Al-Qaeda and other violent militants are now operating in the country.

This month, Syria sent the United Nations the names of 26 mainly Tunisian and Libyan nationals it said had been detained. About 20 had confessed they were members of Al-Qaeda, according to a letter sent with the list.

Ban also highlighted two bomb attacks against convoys of UN ceasefire monitors in Syria.

The UN secretary-general said that apart from the deployment of the monitors, no part of the six-point Annan plan has been implemented.

“We are trying our best efforts to protect the civilian population,” Ban said.

The deployment of the monitors has had a “dampening effect” and reduced the violence, “but not enough, not all the violence has stopped. So we will continue, as much as we can, to protect the civilian population,” he added.

Israel as Popular as North Korea According to BBC Poll 

By Gilad Atzmon at Information Clearing House 

BBC POLL: Israel is one of the countries with most negative global influence. Haaretz reported yesterday that, “Israel, Iran, Pakistan and North Korea were ranked most negatively by 25,000 people surveyed in an annual BBC poll.”

It would appear that in spite of the extensive Hasbara campaign and the Jewish lobby buying every morally lax living politician, people of the world increasingly see Israel for what it is.

The broad international survey was an initiative of the BBC World Service. Over 25,000 people from 22 countries took part in the poll, which was conducted from December 2011 to February 2012.

Haaretz confirms that the survey’s findings on global attitudes toward Israel are “worrying indeed.” 

Last year’s survey already confirmed that attitudes toward Israel were negative, but the situation has become more serious this year: Some 48% of participants in the 2011 survey had negative views of Israel’s influence on the world, but this year the number has gone up to 50%.

If Israel and Zionism were set initially to bring to the world a humanist civilized Jew, this poll results suggest that both Zionism and Israel failed completely. 

In spite of Israeli Hasbara, Jewish lobbying and the Jewish stronghold over the media, the people of the world, see the Jewish State negatively.

Some 50% percent of Americans that took part in the poll said they had a favorable view of Israel. Yet, with just half of the American people seeing Israel favorably, the blunt support of America’s political system of Israel is staggering and pretty revealing.

In Europe, Israel is losing popularity rapidly. Some 74% of Spanish respondents (an increase of 8% from last year) and 56% of French respondents (an increase of 9%), see Israel in a negative light. In spite of their guilt and the heavy pro Israeli indoctrination, 69% of German respondents see Israel negatively. And in Britain, despite the embarrassing fact that 80% of our Tory MPs are Conservative Friends of Israel, 68% of the Brits are not at all friendly towards the Jewish State.

In emerging economies, people also have some problems with Israel. According to the poll. 

45% of Chinese participants, 58% of Brazilians and 28% of Indians have negative views of Israel, and the number of Israel sympathizers in these countries is markedly low.

The survey also found that in Russia, which last year stood out as a country where public opinion of Israel was positive, only 25% of Russian participants had positive views of Israel this year, compared to 26% who see Israel in a negative light. This is not very surprising bearing in mind that nearly all Russian oligarchs are Jews possessing dual Israeli citizenship.

Israel may want to consider changing its path immediately. 

(Not if its minority at the top have messianic visions, then in that reality what other people think doesn't matter to them..........only thing that will matter to them is unquestioned, unfettered USA military/security support, a leverage which the AIPAC, and the elite of the JEWSA brings to the country.

Then in that situation, what the rest of the world should hope for is the natural rise of China, which is a little bit more assertive....and the collapse of America.

Rational, logical deductive thinking may not connect with people who have snake eyes, and Messianic religious visions.

America domestic trajectory of a gulag police state in the making run by dual citizen Jews, crypto-Jews and CIA mind controlled puppets......does not bode well for peace, co-existence and the common social human facet of live and let live around the world.  It is a Jewish run super-state that is gearing up for more confrontation, using little Israel as its spearhead rottweiler with the Likud party. This is the clear indication that comes from the USA, from its media, its two political parties, the Pentagon, its intelligence services, the State department and its social/religious leadership.

Gilad Atzmon fails to mention the extremist Jews among them who live outside of the little geographical strip, who form and contribute an integral significant part of the extremist agenda of Israel, or that most Israelis maybe up to 70% would settle for negotiated peace with the Palestinians and Iran)

Rather than investing in Hasbara and extensive Jewish lobbying, it may want to open its eyes to the prospect of humanism and peace because it appears that humanity clearly shows some real signs of fatigue towards the ‘Jew only State’.

Industrialisation is the only key to develpment in India.

.

.

I think the article below fails to mention that Indian governments have been ineffective at organizing, and mobilizing the natural advantages and resources of the country so that the country can be more heavily industrialized.

In addition the negative influence of the UK through its colonial heritage, and links to India through the Macaulay Brown Sahibs have not helped India industrialize more extensively than it should have after 65 years of Independence.

The article below identify the main causes of the slow industrialization process in India.

One is sure the corrupt leadership of India are aware of these facts.

What holds back India?

The Economist.

How do we explain these differences in the response to trade openness of two economies with very similar factor endowments? The key to answering this question is the poor response of large-scale labour-intensive manufacturing including assembly and processing activities in India. As per the conventional wisdom, these activities have served as the magnet for DFI and a conduit for rapid expansion of exports in China. But this has not happened in India. Large-scale labour-intensive manufacturing activities have been virtually absent from India. Apparel factories employing thousands of workers under a single roof found in China are non-existent in India.

The explanation for the poor performance of large-scale labour-intensive manufacturing is, in turn, to be found in the domestic policy regime—both past and present. Until the late 1980s, large Indian firms were confined to a positive list of capital-intensive sectors. Even in these sectors, their size was limited through licensing based on the perceived size of the domestic market by the authorities. The same applied to foreign companies. These restrictions were largely ended by the mega reforms of 1991 and those that immediately followed them.

But this was insufficient to stimulate large-scale labour-intensive manufacturing. In the late 1960s, India had also adopted the policy of reserving labour-intensive manufactures for the exclusive production by small-scale enterprises. Even after years of steady relaxation, the small-scale enterprises face a ceiling of 50 million rupees (approximately $1.25 million) on investment in plant and machinery. The small-scale industry list grew over time and by the late 1980s came to include virtually all labour-intensive products.

As long as this reservation was in force, high-quality labour-intensive manufactures that could compete on the world markets had no chance of emerging in vast volumes. The bulk of the small-scale enterprises operated in the protected domestic market. The problem was finally recognized in the late 1990s and the government began to gradually trim the Small Scale Industy list. Even then progress was slow and the number of reserved items fell from 821 in 1998-99 to 114 in March 2007.

Most labour-intensive products including toys, footwear, sports goods and apparel have now been off the reservation list for some years. More importantly, even for products still on the list, large-scale production has been permitted since at least March 2000 as long as the enterprise exports 50% or more of its output. This latter change means that firms predominantly interested in exporting their output have been free of such restrictions since March 2000. Yet, labour-intensive manufacturing has remained stubbornly unresponsive.

The most important factor that still holds back large firms from entering these products is a set of draconian labour laws in India. Under these laws, it is virtually impossible for a firm with 100 or more employees to fire the workers even in the face of bankruptcy. It is equally difficult for the firms to reassign the workers from one task to another. These provisions impose very low worker productivity or a high real cost of labour. Large-scale capital-intensive sectors such as automobiles, where labour costs are a tiny proportion of the total costs, can profitably operate in such an environment. But the same is not true of large-scale labour-intensive sectors labour. Few foreign manufacturers are willing to enter India outside of a small subset of capital- and skilled-labour intensive sectors.

Two additional factors have held back the labour-intensive manufacturing in India: costly power and poor transport infrastructure. 

Not only do firms pay a much higher price for power in India than elsewhere in the world, they also face much greater uncertainty of supply. Likewise, despite considerable improvement, the transportation network in India remains unreliable and inefficient. The time taken to clear the goods entering and existing the ports and to move the goods between ports and manufacturing sites, which is so critical for assembly and processing activities, is much higher and more variable in India than in the competing countries such as China.

India’s path to modernisation

While high growth has helped India bring its poverty ratio (the proportion of the poor below the official poverty line) down from 36% in 1993-94 to 27%  in 2004-05, its transition to a modern economy remains problematic: it must still move the vast majority of its workforce out of farming into non-farming activities. With the services leg doing all of the walking, the economy can only limp along towards this transition. 

For a more rapid transformation, India must walk on two legs. That means more rapid growth of the labour-intensive manufacturing.

Like all cinema in the world, save for the state subsidized French cinema, Iran's movie industry has been focused on commercial fluff, which are forgotten in a few days after their release.

No one can question the cultural significance of cinema. In the USA, and India especially cinema plays a central cultural role, over and above all else. Often state entities in those countries cooperate to propagate their views through the medium of cinema.

Cinema is also a profitable business valued at over $100 billion in the USA, including ancillary profits and merchandising.

Cinema is also a tool of soft power..........allowing in the case of Hollywood to promote the views of the USA government in all homes around the world without the viewer being able to perceive it as American right-wing military propaganda.wrapped in sugar coated nostalgia.

According to the latest BBC poll Iran is the most despised country on earth by people around the world, followed by Pakistan, Israel and North Korea.

Iran if anything requires re-branding, and the promotion of the country, and cinema is a significant avenue for this on the international plain.

Medieval Mullah Iran has been slow to recognize these facts stated above, but matters must be taken to invest in state funded movies in the order of $200---400 million epics, per film, based on various national subjects which promote the country in its best light. A small hint; mullahs with turbans, quoting from the Koran will not be well received by the global audience......but rather themes that truly reflect the constant timeless greatness of Persia:

Cyrus Khosru

Parthia

Sassanian

Tales and poetry of Rumi......themes that have a universal message.

The works of Ferdosi.

And so forth......

Iran has an abundance of good directors who can intelligently direct mega-movies that promote the country to its own people and to the outside world.

Let the world know that Iran is a great civilization, with a great cultural heritage that dates back 2500 years. A nation that has contributed so much to world civilization, and can still contribute much more.

Beizai book claims 1001 Nights stories are of Persian origins

Iranian filmmaker and writer Bahram Beizai

Presstv.com

Iranian filmmaker and writer Bahram Beizai has written a book presenting proofs and documents of the Persian origin of The Thousand and One Nights.

Where Are Thousand Legends? will be unveiled during a ceremony at the Iranian Artists Forum where a number of scholars such as Mohammad Rezai-Rad and Hamid Amjad will deliver speeches about the book.

In his new book, Beizai has tried to prove that The Thousand and One Nights, known as an Arab collection stories, is rooted in Persian history, ILNA reported.

The Thousand and One Nights collection is of uncertain date and authorship whose tales of Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sindbad the Sailor have become part of the popular Western folklore.

Published by Roshangaran and Women Studies Publications, Where Are Thousand Legends?
 

is the result of Beizai’s extensive studies of historical texts.
Bahram Beizai is considered one of the most prominent Iranian filmmakers who has won numerous national and international awards.

He made his first short film in 1962 and his first feature-length production Downpour in 1971.

When We Are All Asleep , Bashu, the Little Stranger and Death of Yazdgerd Are among his better-known works.

Hitler descended from North African Berber Jews.

 

Martin Boorman ran Nazi Germany for the International Jewish bankers, as their point-man in the shadows behind Hitler. 

Hess, Hitlers mentor and Deputy misread the International Jewish banker structure of power in Germany and the World in flying to the UK in 1940 prematurely, without solid confirmation from the Rothschild Jewish bankers that they would welcome him along with the Nazi sympathizers within the British establishment. 

The latter group bowled over by racist talk of fake pseudo "Aryanism" based on dodgy writing from 19th century German romanticism, and in an era of European colonialism, and Occidental Chauvinism.

The International Jewish bankers wanted WWII, and Nazi German peace with the British Empire did not suite them. The UK was a vital ticket through which the HEROIC cavalry of the JEWSA would enter the war, and "save the world", and set up the United Nations.......ALL in its terms, whilst simultaneously destroying the British, French and Soviet Empire, and obviously weakening Germany again as was done in 1918.

As with WWI through neutral Holland, the USA supplied the Nazi German war machine through neutral Sweden into late 1944, until the Bankers were satisfied that their objectives had been reached.

There are many allegations against Hitler, and conspiracy theories surround him.

That he was of Jewish origin.

A vegetarian.

Had a BIG FARTING problem----OBVIOUSLY AN evil windbag.

On 30 different pills.

Took cocaine.

That he killed his niece Angela (Geli) Raubal, his first "Beard"

That he enjoyed scatology.

That he was Homosexual...never marrying. Eva Braun was merely his "Beard".

That the Jewish International Bankers carefully mentored and financed the Nazi Party into power.

The utterly failed man with no initial connections to the elite, with little education, never holding down ANY 9--5 job in his entire life, or the basic responsibility of running a family with wife, suddenly appears from nowhere, and runs one of the most advanced and sophisticated nations on earth.

I suppose miracles do happen?

Nazi Germany 1933--45, which killed 10 million ethnic Germans inside and outside the country was an International Jewish banker fiction, which killed 58 million in WWII......................mostly Occidental Western people, but certainly not 6 million Jews.

Iran's aluminum production increases by 8.5 percent

File photo shows aluminum coils produced at Iran’s Hormzal aluminum smelter.

Presstv.com

An Iranian industrial official says the volume of aluminum production in the country increased by 8.5% during the past Iranian calendar year (ended March 19) compared to the corresponding period a year earlier.

Iranian Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Vajihollah Ja'fari said on Tuesday that the production growth rate comes despite the fact that the world average yield increased by seven percent during the mentioned period.

He also put Iran's current per capita consumption of aluminum at 4.5 kilogram, noting that per capita aluminum consumption worldwide now stands at 6.5 kilograms.

Ja'fari added that Iran's aluminum output will exceed 400,000 tons by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (starting March 20) and will hit 1.5 million tons by the end of the country's 20-year Development Vision Plan, which ends before 2025.

The head of Iranian Mining and Mineral Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) also said that his organization will implement various projects across the country to achieve the aluminum output target set for this year.

The official highlighted that Iran’s ranking in production of aluminum has risen by four steps since 2005 to stand as number 22 in the world aluminum output.

Ja'fari stressed that Iran plans to book the 14th rank in the global aluminum production by the end of the 5th Economic Development Plan (2010-2015).

Puppet Mullah Iran producing more "cos eh lash" trainer planes from 1950's

.
.
.
.

The F-5 was designed and built as a light fighter in the 1950's, but ended up being used as a trainer by the USA. The USA then sold it to its puppet states abroad as a cheap fighter.
 

The Shah's air force decided to get rid of most of its 181 F-5 purchased from the USA between 1965--1976......Why?.......Focusing on better quality 4th generation planes such as the F-14 Tomcat.

57 years after it was first designed, as a second generation light fighter cum trainer by the USA, the mullahs have reproduced it numbering a few, and have subsequently hailed it has a remarkable piece of aviation engineering.

We do not say the mullahs are liars, but delusional if they think such an old design, even with updated systems can match ANY modern 5th generation fighter plane.

Iran should focus on copying and updating either the F-14, or the Su-30MK. Unavailable parts which cannot be manufactured in Iran, can be manufactured in either China or Russia.

In this globalized world much of American manufacturing is carried out in China.

Iran adds three indigenous Saeqeh fighter jets to IRIAF fleet

File photo shows the Iranian Saeqeh (Thunderbolt) fighter jet.

Presstv.com

 

 

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has announced the addition of three new indigenous Saeqeh (Thunderbolt) fighter jets to the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) fleet.

“The building and delivery of new fighter jets will take place without delay and according to the preset schedule,” Vahidi said on Monday.

Vahid added that the fighter jets can play an important role in boosting Iran's defense prowess and safeguarding its sovereignty.

In April, IRIAF Deputy Commander for Coordination Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh said the country plans to build a new generation of the Saeqeh fighter jets with enhanced radar systems and smart munitions.

The Iranian single-seat bomber has the ability to track down enemy aircraft, engage in combat, target locations on the ground, and carry a load of assorted weapons and ammunition.

Iran unveiled its first squadron of Saeqeh fighter-bombers in an air show in September 2010.

In the recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.

Iran has repeatedly assured other nations, especially regional neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.

A Tipping Point for Israel

By Philip Giraldi at Information Clearing House

A tipping point is where physical momentum, inclined in one direction, reverses its course, stabilizes, and then begins to move the opposite way. Those of us who have been arguing for a sane United States foreign policy in the Middle East have well understood that the odds on shifting the prevailing narrative have been heavily against us thanks to the overwhelming resources possessed by a powerful domestic lobby.

Ten years ago in America, it was impossible to place even a letter in a mainstream newspaper or magazine that was in any way critical of Israel. Apart from Pat Buchanan, no one on television provided a critique of Israel and its policies. In the U.S. media, Israel was ever the beleaguered little democracy surrounded by savage Arabs.

But then, all of a sudden, the conspiracy of silence began to break down.

It began with the revisionist history of the antecedents of the Iraq War as that conflict continued to drag on. Many began attributing Washington’s initiation of the fighting, at least in part, to Israeli interests. Philip Zelikow, chief counsel for the 9/11 Commission Report, famously noted in March 2004 that the war was “to protect Israel,” surely an exaggeration but containing more than a kernel of truth.

Many also began to observe that the agitation for a new war with Iran was following the same pattern, with supporters of Israel leading the charge. In 2006, former President Jimmy Carter published Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. It provoked considerable outrage and highly publicized resignations from the board of the Carter Foundation together with charges that Carter was supporting Palestinian terrorism.

But the big breakthrough came with the publication of Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer’s The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy in the following year. It became a New York Times best-seller, and it suddenly became acceptable to talk about Israel without the usual bromides. For the first time, people in America were taking notice of the power of the Israel lobby and the inherent downside for U.S. national interests. Driven by the prospect of unending warfare in an attempt to remake the Muslim world by force, letters and op-eds critical of Israel and its policies began to appear in the mainstream media.

There weren’t a lot, mind you, and they were always “balanced” by more numerous contrary commentaries, but there were enough to demonstrate that a shift was taking place.

Mainstream Jewish organizations, always vigilant in defense of what they have perceived as Israel’s interest, resorted increasingly to discrediting critics by calling them “anti-Semites.”  

Indeed, they succeeded in equating any criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism and even managed to pass legislation in Canada and several European nations that made any criticism of Israel ipso facto a hate crime. 

Some American Jews have always been bothered by the dark side of Israel’s story, beginning with the Nakba expulsion of the Palestinians from their homes and including the more recent settlement policy, “security” wall, and the denial of civil and human rights to the Arabs living in Israel and the occupied territories. They were convinced, correctly, that Israel had no intention to permit the creation of a viable Palestinian state. Many began to protest, though their voices were at first confined to the alternative media and they had to work through many progressive groups that were advancing a much broader peace agenda in response to George W. Bush’s horrific “global war on terror.”

But now we Americans have finally reached our tipping point.


Recently Peter Beinart, a Zionist and defender of Israel for many years, released The Crisis of Zionism, which explains how Israel has become an armed camp dedicated to repressing and even expelling its Palestinian helots. As a liberal Jew, he rejects the militant values that drive the Israel of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has even gone so far as to support an economic boycott of Israel, similar to the pressure that was put on South African apartheid. The book has predictably provoked a firestorm of criticism from the pro-Israel establishment, but Beinart is not alone.Tom Friedman and Paul Krugman in The New York Times, both Jewish and both longtime friends of Israel, have voiced the same concerns, namely that Israel no longer represents the liberal and humanistic values that they themselves cherish.


It has been noted in passing that young American Jews increasingly do not view Israel in positive terms, a sign, if one was needed, that the older generation that believes Israel is always right, no matter what it does, is passing into history.

And it does not end there. Even the mainstream media is now, perhaps reluctantly, on board. On April 22, 60 Minutes, the most watched television news and commentary program in the United States, aired a segment on Israeli persecution of Christians.


The program was a real shock for the many fundamentalist Christians who have viewed Israel through rose-tinted glasses. Many evangelicals have promoted the myth that Israel is actually a protector of Christians, which it most emphatically is not; it seeks instead to marginalize them and force them to emigrate, as the 60 Minutes program demonstrated. Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, who tried to kill the story and called it a “hatchet job,” was interviewed as part of it. His performance was alternately smug and angry, and it is widely regarded as a public relations disaster. He even said that mainstream Christian churches are “known for their anti-Semitism.”

Benjamin Netanyahu’s office supported Oren’s contention that the broadcast was a “threat to Israel.”

Christian Palestinians constitute about 20% of ALL Palestinian people, with 1.1 million living within Israel as its citizen, and another 300,000 dispersed in the Western hemisphere due to the Israeli annexation of their homes and land in the more promising fertile parts of former Palestine.....and another 100,000 in the Occupied territories. Christian Palestinians have traditionally been more educated, articulate and better organized than their Muslim counter-parts.(Edward Said, Hanan Ashrawi) They played a central role in the PLO, and the Palestinian struggle for Independence. They are a natural asset for the Palestinian people. Israel naturally instituted a divide and conquer colonial policy against them, and created HAMAS in the 1970's.

This is a policy dating back to the Evil Colonial British Empire which created the Muslim League in India in 1905, and the Muslim Brotherhood in 1920's Egypt, and the propagation of the Mullahs of Iran in the 1950's, manipulated and mobilized against the Democratically elected government of Mossadegh in 1953 and then into power in 1979. Stupid Islamic Fundamentalists are easy weapons against nationalism, since through their donkey ignorance and their backside up the Koran, the Wily colonial British were able to manipulate them at the expense and interests of the local Third World Bourgeois nationalists.

In the sum total of things it is all too easy to demonize the "Filthy Likudnik Jew" with their extremist apocalyptic policies, and ignore the role of the CIA/State Department in the recent so called "Arab Spring", the end result of which will usher in a new dark age of CIA controlled fundamentalist regimes in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and ultimately Syria if they have their way.

This in turn will be a threat to Israel OBVIOUSLY (85 million Egypt...specifically)....though the extremists in the CIA/State Department along with the Israeli Likudniks seem to be happy about the prospects of this USA manufactured latest conflict.

Israeli extremism cannot exist without the aid of the USA State structure, with its own set of extremists.

AIPAC/ISRAEL specifically did not call for the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979.
AIPAC/ISRAEL did not call for the USA to back the most fundamentalist Afghan warlords to fight the Soviets from 1979.
AIPAC/ISRAEL did not call for the Taliban to be created by the USA from 1994.
AIPAC/ISRAEL did not call for Hosni Mobarak, Ben Ali or Gaddafi to be toppled by USA funded NGO's/NATO/USA military power.

Whilst one welcomes a more open debate about the Jew and his activities around the world----which have consequences, we must never forget that it is the USA which has 1000 military bases around the world, and the biggest military budget, and is proactive around the world in several hot and cold wars..............not AIPAC/ISRAEL.

It is ALL too easy to say the Jew runs the USA, without apportioning enough responsibility and blame on the WASP's within the CIA/State Departments/Pentagon.

It was Netanyahu’s second venture into public relations in a short time, having previously denounced German Nobel Prize–winning author Gunter Grass. Netanyahu banned Grass from traveling to Israel and said that his writings had “hurt Israel profoundly.” Netanyahu was responding to Grass’s rather mild declaration in a poem that the Jewish state’s nuclear program is a threat to an “already fragile world peace.”

Netanyahu knows that the tide is running against him and everything he represents, particularly as the criticism from former senior officials in his own country continues to mount, but he is too obdurate to do what must be done.


One of Israel’s darkest secrets is the extent to which young, educated Jews are fleeing the country for greener pastures, most notably the United States.


By some guesstimates, one third of university-educated second- and third-generation Israeli Jews have left the country. They are leaving behind the recent Russian immigrants, many of whom are not actually religiously or ethnically Jewish, and the Islamophobic racists who constitute the core of the hard right in Israel.


So we have reached the point where the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Everyone, with the possible exception of the U.S. Congress, has become aware that there is something terribly wrong with Israel.


In Israel itself, where there is often ferocious debate over the country’s policies, it is time for a reckoning. Does Israel want to become a normal state with correct relationships with its neighbors, including an independent Palestine, or does it want to continue down the road that it is pursuing, which is folly and will lead to ruin? The choice is ultimately Israel’s, but, for the first time, Americans are actually beginning to talk and write freely and openly about the problem.

Filthy Dirty poverty striken India has the biggest child labor force

Modernization and Development can be trouble free, if the leaders of the country are effective.

In India the leaders of the country are not very effective.

From PM down ALL are tainted with corruption.

Whilst simultaneously many are accused of being foreign agents (Sonia Gandhi, MM Singh)

On the other side of the political spectrum are extremist Israel friendly communalists who would be happy to tear up the country, through terrorism and riots to satisfy prurient religious fatalism, obscurantism and dogmatism.

The better option for Indian voters fed up with political dynasties seem to be to vote for an individual rather than the faceless, corrupt party mechanism wheeling and dealing (Congress/BJP). 

It is alleged India has the largest number of child sex slaves in the world of 1.2 million, rampant in the bigger cities, run in conjunction with the local mafia linked police.

Therefore it is no surprise that this profoundly mismanaged post-colonial country which still celebrates the Commonwealth Games, as a great new rising power has millions of bonded child laborers.......the reality and spectacle of which harks back many centuries.

You don't need the labor of children to make a nation prosperous.

What is required is government action to judicially invest in INFRASTRUCTURE and INDUSTRY, which generates sufficient jobs for the adults, so that the children do not have to work.

What India also badly needs is a strong family planning regime which curtails the rapid population growth which will surpass China in a few years. India can surpass China in something after all.

Surplus, sub-standard eaters which the mis-organized state cannot support.

But this after all is the nation with the greatest amount of illegal looted cash off shored to secret bank accounts around the world.....and $1.5 trillion for Switzerland alone.

Translation: The Macaulay Anglophile Brown Sahib elite don't believe in their own country, and prefer to keep their illegal money in foreign destinations to the detriment of the country.

India will never be a great power. Instead it should focus on the mundane of cleaning up its filthy, stinking, dusty, dirty, disorganized big cities. It should focus on alleviating the huge masses of poverty stricken people approaching 800 million...........rather than gloating about neo-liberal created $ billionaires who are defacto the new Zamindar class.

Ravi was seven when The Sunday Times found him working 98 hours a week

Imports from India are cheap, because India still has slave labour.

The Sunday Times exposed the life of Ravi, who worked in a Delhi sweatshop.

Ravi made Christmas decorations for the British high street.

Ravi was forced to sit for up to 20 hours a day in a squalid back room.

Ravi was beaten if he fell asleep on the job through exhaustion. 

Ravi was discovered during an undercover investigation, by a children's charity, into child labour in Delhi, where up to 50,000 children work illegally.

Ravi made the long train journey back to his home state of Bihar in eastern India. 

Ravi has been returned to his mother after being found working in a sweatshop

Ravi's mother is a poor widow.

She says that a factory owner came to her and said that, if she gave him Ravi, she would get around £7 per month.

Child labourer in India.

On 13 May 2012, The Sunday Times  told us about a little boy called Ansar.

Ten-year-old Ansar was rescued from a Delhi sweatshop.

"My father promised he would come back for me," Ansar repeated over and over, as tears came to his eyes.

His father had sold him to the sweatshop for £12.

India is reckoned to have many millions of kids like Ansar.

Extremists Ravaging Syria Created by US in 2007

US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel funded and have backed regional army of Sunni terrorists since 2007 specifically to overthrow Syria and Iran.
 

by Tony Cartalucci  at Land Destroyer Blog
A 2007 New Yorker article written by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh revealed a plan under the Bush Administration to organize, arm, train, and deploy a regional army of Sunni terrorists ("al-CIA-duh" mark 2), many with ties directly to Al Qaeda, in a bid to destabilize and overthrow both Syria and Iran. The plan consisted of US and Israeli backing, covertly funneled through Saudi proxies to conceal Washington and Tel Aviv's role, in building the Sunni extremist front.

According to Seymour Hersh's 2007 article, " The Redirection: Is the Administration's new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?," (1) Saudi Arabia, a more credible candidate for openly interfacing with the militants, openly admitted that it was a danger, but that they "created it," and therefore could "control it," in meetings with Washington. The plan called for not only setting up terrorist enclaves in nations neighboring Syria, including Lebanon, Jordan, and US-occupied Iraq, but also for building up the Muslim Brotherhood, both inside Syria's borders and beyond - including in Egypt.

Hersh's work now holds new relevance as revelations that indeed a Sunni-extremist element is behind the violence in Syria, including a horrific bombing in Damascus (2) that has killed scores and injured hundreds. That these Sunni elements are openly supported by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, with militants and weapons flowing in from the above mentioned Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon, (3) just as planned in 2007, shows clearly that the US-Israeli-Saudi plan is unfolding as intended.

As the West feigns shock and horror over the rise of their Sunni front, from Egypt to Syria, and beyond, along with the resurrection of the Muslim Brotherhood, who Hersh confirmed was already benefiting from US and Saudi aid in 2007, it is clear that in reality this is the fruition of a complex premeditated plan, years in the making.

The accomplices include Neo-Conservatives Dick Cheney, Elliott Abrams, and Zalmay Khalilzad - who also serves on the board of the US State Department's National Endowment for Democracy, (4) a chief facilitator of the US-engineered "Arab Spring" (5) destabilization that brought the Muslim Brotherhood (purposefully) back onto the Middle East's political landscape. This after Arab nations fought long difficult battles against the Brotherhood's brand of violent extremism and anti-secular policies. Martin Indyk of the US State Department under former President Clinton, a former Ambassador to Israel, and a director at the corporate-financier funded think-tank, the Brookings Institution, was also mentioned in Hersh's report, and was a co-author of the infamous 2009 "Which Path to Persia?" report, (6) openly declaring US machinations in bringing down the Iranian government, including the use of listed terrorist organizations.

Image: Twin car bombings in Damascus Syria kill scores and maim hundreds - the final result of years of US-Israeli-Saudi backing of vicious Sunni terrorists, admitted in both Seymour Hersh's 2007 article, "The Redirection," as well as across US policy think-tanks openly conspiring to fund and arm listed terrorist organizations for use against Syria, Iran, and even Pakistan.

....

Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar is noted by Hersh as instrumental in coordinating efforts between the Saudis, Israel, and the United States, while the political party built up around pro-Saudi Lebanese tycoon Rafic Hariri set the groundwork in Lebanon for the creation of staging points for the violent Sunni front.

With Sunni-extremists committing increasingly frequent and violent atrocities across Syria, the US and the Western media in general, have attempted to portray it as a natural progression of Syria's internal conflict - when in reality, based on Hersh's report and confirmed again more recently as the source of the rebels' funding and support is revealed, it is clearly the result of this long-planned act of foreign aggression against Syria, perpetrated by the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and their Sunni proxies in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Hersh's report had warned of the tragic consequences to be expected once this Sunni-front had been unleashed, namely, according to former CIA agent Robert Baer in Lebanon, " Sunni Arabs carrying out a "cataclysmic conflict." Baer warned of the need to protect Christians from a predictable onslaught by Sunni extremists - an onslaught now playing out against Syria's 10% Christian population, according to the LA Times' "Church fears 'ethnic cleansing' of Christians in Homs, Syria," (7) and more recently in USA Today's distorted, but still telling, "Christians in Syria live in uneasy alliance with Assad, Alawites." (8)  

Christians are not the only minorities being targeted by the US-Israeli-Saudi terrorist front, but all minorities are as is secularism itself, being systematically attacked, as is the case in the wake of the NATO-backed dismemberment of Libya. (9)

As the US attempts to portray terrorist violence in Syria as the fault of Syria's government for not yielding to "international" pressure - we must remember that while they are absolutely correct - it is not because the Syrian government has reaped the consequences of inciting its own people to violence, but is instead suffering at the hands of a Sunni-extremist front, created by the West and its allies years in advance for the sole purpose of sowing terror to destabilize, divide, and forever destroy Syria and Iran. Should Syria or Iran fall to such machinations, their fate will be no different than that of Libya, now lying in absolute ruin, without a government, without law, but with torturers and militants roaming the streets and preying on the population as Libya's oil is pilfered by foreign contractors.

There will be no winners if Syria falls, no appeasing the reckless forces of terror manufactured and thrust at the Syrian people. Only unity and perseverance will save Syria from suffering Libya's fate. The Arab World itself must make a reassessment in the midst of a geopolitical landscape manipulated by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, pitting Muslim against Muslim for the sake of destroying the stability needed for all to prosper.

Information from the Un-Islamic Republic is not always accurate. There is much propaganda in order to sell the narrative of "progress" from the UK/USA installed puppet un-Islamic republic of 33 years.

Steel is the foundation of Industrialization, which I so enthusiastically and irritatingly told the Pak government official back in 1983 as a teenager. I had gleaned this "remarkable gem" of a fact from my O level history at Sir Wilfrid Martineau secondary school at Tile Cross, Brum. 

Birmingham was once the proud industrial hub of British industry. Though of course in the interests of revisionist history one must mention that India had invented Wootz steel a full 2 millennium earlier, and like Birmingham was also world renowned for its steel artifacts from steel swords, sabers to pots and pans.

Steel is a significant material for industrialization, and industrialization is the key to future economic development. Neighbor Turkey produces 33 million tons of steel and China produces 650 million tons, so Iran should NOT have problems producing 65 million tons of steel in a few years. Additionally power generation will be very important, so Iran should try and produce between 300--350 billion kWt electricity by 2016-2017.....using oil and gas turbines manufactured in Iran.

Iran I believe has an abundance of iron ore, but not much coal. Strategic neighbor Pakistan has an abundance of coal reserves especially in the Sindh Province with reserves of 200 billion. Due to the corruption and weakness of Pakistani governments, these vital resources have not been exploited. Iran can fund coal mines in Pakistan, to bring coal from there to Iran via a rail link for the steel industry of Iran. Iran should also fund a rail link between Pakistan and Iran. These are strategic projects that will be important for both countries. Russia will probably fund and construct the Pakistan part of the IPI gas pipeline between the two countries. Will the Russians use Iranian steel pipes for this part of the project?

We hope the Un-Islamic Republic regime, installed by the UK/USA is true to its words of modernizing and industrializing Iran. This will bring prosperity and much needed jobs for the vast numbers of unemployed youths in Iran.

In complete contrast, Pakistan only produces a paltry 1.5 million tons of steel, even though the country contains vast reserves of iron ore in Kalabagh, and 200 billion tons of coal reserves in Sindh. The Germans offered EU funded steel mills for free in the 1960's which were turned down, and misguidance of the UK/USA States has meant that Pakistan has no real industrialization policy, let alone a credible steel sector.

The UK educated government official holding a Ph.D was vehemently adamant that Pakistan had all the time in the world to industrialize..........that Ayub Khan was in too much of a hurry to industrialize.

Pakistan through its close friendship with the UK/USA is as a result a failed state......that is even now STILL pondering whether to help the USA/NATO occupation of Afghanistan into infinity (Afghan heroin harms millions of Pakistanis; terrorism from Afghanistan harms Pakistan's stability; the USA's military presence in Afghanistan simultaneously militarizes many issues in Pakistan detrimentally at the cost of and consideration of other vital national questions....such as alleviation of poverty, national stability, cohesion of the state, governance, relationships with neighbors)

Iran's steel output to hit 48mn tons in five years

Presstv.com

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the government plans to increase the country's steel production to 48 million tons during the next five years.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of an iron ore concentrate production line at the Sangan-Khaf iron ore mine in the Iranian eastern province of Khorasan Razavi on Friday, President Ahmadinejad said the current amount of Iran’s steel production which is at 14 million tons now should reach 48 million tons in a 4-5-year period.

“In order to produce steel and steel products, we need concentrates, iron ore and pellets,” he said.

The Iranian chief executive stated that the steel production capacity of the unit, which currently stands at 2.6 million tons of concentrates and pellets, will reach 5 million tons in the near future.

The major raw steel producers of Iran are the Mobarakeh Steel Mill, with approximately 47 percent of the market share, the Khuzestan Steel Company with about 23 percent, the Isfahan Foundry with about 20 percent, and the Iran National Steel Industries Group with approximately 10 percent of the market share.

According to the latest report published by the World Steel Association (WSA), Iran has become the largest producer of crude steel in the Middle East and Africa, given the hike in its steel output.

The report said that Iran produced 3.626 million tons of raw steel in the first quarter of 2012, indicating a 6.8-percent rise compared to the corresponding period last year.

Additionally, Iran’s crude steel output hit 1.163 million tons in March 2012, which shows a 7.7-percent hike in comparison with the same period last year.

Iran is among the 15 major mineral-rich countries of the world and exports its industrial and mineral products to 159 countries, including Iraq, China, the United Arab Emirates, India and Afghanistan.
