John 8:44 (New International Version)
John 8:44
New International Version (NIV)
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for
there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language,
for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Subject: Video:Quotable Quotes From the Chosen Ones
When I read the essay you posted up by Mark, I was reminded of this video.
I'm having sleepless nights just seeing this world suffering.While
everyone is celebrating the détente between Iran and America*, along
with the fact that war was averted on Syria( at least temporarily), I
still get the feeling something isn't right. Something tells me it's way
too soon to celebrate victory. I feel the only reason these talks are
happening now with Iran is so that the double headed beast of
US/israHell can get closer to her in order to sow dissension and try to
undermine Iran from within. We must
remember that foreign policy in western countries is not only under the
control of the jewish lobbies but it has based it's foundations on
Nicolo Machiavelli's ideology of deception. It is impossible to deal
with Satan because Satan will never change because he is the master of
deception for he will destroy all that is good in this world and that is
the system that controls these western countries. People are still
dying in these genocidal wars. Look at what recently happened in Somalia
and Libya. It looks as though we are going to see more death and
destruction in the future with the focus shifting to the African
Continent.
Afghanistan is still suffering under a
genocidal occupation which brings in another sad chapter for humanity.
This month is the anniversary of the brutal, barbaric, illegal, and
criminal war in Afghanistan which started on October 7
and is now in it's thirteenth year. The question that needs to be asked
is how many people have died? The problem with websites like
'icasualties', 'iraqbodycount' and other alternative news websites is
that they rely on the jewish mainstream media which lies or more
dishonestly,they deliberately under report the numbers of how many
people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Mali, and
now Syria(facing a zionist proxy war) have died in this so called 'War
on Terror'(aka War on Islam).
* There cannot and will never be any "détente" between Iran and America because America will be satisfied only when Iran is totally destroyed just like what they successfully did to Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq or to the Natives of America! Never forget that the Qabbalistic Jews are very good at Black Magic, hypnotizing their enemies before slaughtering them wholesale. OBAMA IS ONE OF THEIR ADEPTS. (BAFS)
In the case of
the continuing Afghan Holocaust/ Afghan Genocide which continues before
the worlds eyes, you will find the real number hear with all the
details here on this website:
Important points highlighted from
the website
Afghan Holocaust & Afghan Genocide
This
site is dedicated to informing people about the ongoing, US
Alliance-imposed Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide that as of 2012 is
associated with post-2001 violent and non-violent avoidable deaths
totalling 5.5 million and Afghan and Pashtun refugees totalling 5-6 million – an Afghan Holocaust ( a huge number of deaths) and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Geneva Convention (see: http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/genocide/convention.html
) which states: “In the present Convention, genocide means any of the
following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a
national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing
members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to
members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions
of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or
in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the
group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Global deaths from the War on Terror. now total 9-11 million.
US
president launched the so-called War on Terror in October 2001 by the
invasion of Afghanistan a month after the 9-11 atrocity (3,000 people
killed). The pathologically dishonest Bush Administration (see: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/23/bush.iraq/ )
alleged that Osama
bin Laden was responsible for the 9-11 atrocity but its “official
version” of 9/11 had no Iraqis or Afghans involved in the atrocity and
indeed the official FBI Most Wanted website does not accuse Osama bin
Laden of involvement in 9/11: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/laden.htm .
Further,
the discovery of unexploded nano-thermite high explosive in all samples
of World Trade Center dust examined by Professor Niels Harrit and
colleagues (Chemistry Department, 9-Nobel-Laureate University of
Copenhagen) (see Niels Harrit et al, “Active Thermitic Material
Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe”, The
Open Chemical Physics Journal, Vol. 2, pp.7-31: http://www.bentham-open.org/pages/content.php?TOCPJ/2009/00000002/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM ) clearly implicates the US Government itself in the 9-11 atrocity (most likely with surrogate Israeli involvement).
[Editors
Note: Depending on the website the Number of Afghan Deaths from this
zionist crusade could also be 5.6 million deaths and we definitely know
israHell did 9/11 with the US administration and US intelligence
agencies covering up for them]
I would
also like to present another disgusting war crime committed by the
western occupation forces on this sad day that has happened in
Afghanistan recently which has been presented by presstv. The foreign
devils in Afghanistan commit war crimes with impunity everyday knowing
fully well no one will punish them and have been doing it since the
first day of the occupation.
Afghan woman overrun and killed by foreign forces tank
A woman has been killed in Afghanistan after being run over by a tank belonging to US-led foreign forces in the country, Press TV reports.
According to local officials, the incident took place in the Panjwai district of the southern Kandahar Province on Sunday.
The woman was said to be riding a motorcycle along with her child when the deadly accident took place.
The incident comes after 10 people, including children, were killed in two separate US airstrikes in eastern and central-eastern Afghanistan.
A US midnight airstrike on Saturday killed five people and severely injured three civilians in the central-eastern province of Maidan Wardak.
Earlier on Friday, at least five civilians, including three children, were killed in another US airstrike in an area near Jalalabad city, the capital of the eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar.
The US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, which was conducted as part of Washington's so-called war on terror, removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity remains in the country despite the presence of foreign forces.
According to the UN, civilian deaths in Afghanistan jumped 16 percent in the first eight months of 2013, while in some eastern provinces there was a 54-percent hike in civilian casualties in the same period compared with last year.
AZA/MR/SS/SL
[Editors note: The insecurity in Afghanistan is due to
the presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan. Afghanistan
had security and peace in Afghanistan from 1996-2001 and no heroin was
being exported from the country during that time period. Once the
foreign forces are expelled from the country, Afghanistan will
finally have peace and security.]

Thank
you for the documentary on the general son. The fabricated cancerous
tumor implanted by the Rothschilds in the Islamic World known as
the zionist entity (aka israHell) must disappear from the face of the
planet for peace to prevail. I loved your commentary as well as it needs
to be emphasized that America can never be trusted with "détente".
By
the way, remember that israHelli affiliated company called G4S which is
well known for torturing Palestinians inside the dungeons of the
zionist entity and was also in charge of the security during the London
Olympics? Take a look at what their involved in now.

Remember
when I said I was having sleepless nights?You need to read this article
Basheer.The fix is in. I believe the "détente" was merely used to bide
time in order to get their chess pieces into place. Narendra Modi
2014. Benjamin Netanyahu's candidate for World War 3.
P.S. I've
been paying attention to the politics of India lately and I was
seriously thinking about writing an article about this man because
while the whole
world seems to be hypnotized by this "détente" they have failed to take
into account the disturbing developments in another part of the planet
which will have great implications for the Islamic World as well as the
rest of the world at large. I believe we are merely in the eye of the

Modi is filling the vacuum of visible leadership in India
Vir Sanghvi, Hindustan Times October 09, 2013
First Published: 23:02 IST(9/10/2013) | Last Updated: 23:12 IST(9/10/2013)
In all the discussions about the rise of Narendra Modi, we never seem
to consider the most obvious explanation. There is an iron law in
global politics: when things are going well, people don’t worry too much
about leadership. They want non-controversial politicians who stay out
of their way and let them get on with their lives without needless
conflict.
But when things go wrong, people look for the opposite. They want visible leadership. They prefer their politicians to seem totally in control. They like somebody who is not scared of conflict. And though they say they want to be inspired, what they are really looking for is reassurance. They want a leader who tells them that he or she knows the way out of the crisis.
History is replete with examples of this phenomenon. The best one is Winston Churchill. For most of his career, he was reviled as a dangerous demagogue, an egomaniac, a man in search of conflict, an arrogant leader who brooked no dissent and whose views were imperialist and racist. (He called Mahatma Gandhi a ‘half-naked fakir’.)
But when World War II broke out, the same people who had once cast him out called on Churchill to lead the country. All the qualities that had once seemed so objectionable — the arrogance, the demagoguery, and his conviction that only he understood the way ahead — now seemed inspirational.
There are so many other examples — Charles De Gaulle, Margaret Thatcher, etc — that the Americans have a slang term for the phenomenon. In good times, people want to be Mummy-ed. But in bad times, they want Daddy to show them the way.
It does not require a massive leap of imagination to see how this phenomenon has manifested itself in India. The UPA took office in good times, when most Indians were not only better off than before* but also believed that things would keep getting better.
In that era, we were happy to be Mummy-ed. And the mild-mannered Manmohan Singh, with his technocratic skills, was the perfect prime minister. Five years later, when things had got better, India re-elected the UPA with a larger margin.
It is significant that Narendra Modi was around in 2004 when the UPA took office. He was already chief minister of Gujarat but was regarded as a fringe figure. When the UPA won re-election in 2009, Modi had become the BJP’s most powerful chief minister.
But he was still a regional strongman, and was seen as a politician whose divisive communalised politics would keep him away from power in Delhi.
So, why is it that Modi’s fortunes have been so completely transformed? Why is he now a putative prime minister? And why is Manmohan Singh the most unpopular prime minister in recent memory?
It isn’t as though Modi has changed. He still hasn’t apologised for the 2002 riots** or for the communalised campaign he ran after the violence. He is as arrogant, as polarising and as much of a demagogue as he has always been.
The difference is that times have changed. The economy has tanked. Nobody believes that we will be better off in the years ahead — not as long as this government is in office, anyway.
Law and order has spun out of control.*** The government cannot control prices. And corruption scandal after corruption scandal rocks the government.****
History tells us that in times of crisis, people need visible leadership. And yet, this government has provided no evidence that it knows how to lead. ***** Never in Indian history have top leaders been so remote and so uncommunicative. Rarely has a prime minister seemed less in control. At a time when India needs to feel that he knows the way out of this mess, he is himself ducking for cover.
Instead, it is Modi who has seized the opportunity and filled the gap. While the UPA’s leaders cower, he goes from rally to rally. He talks of solutions in the form of the so-called Gujarat model.****** He gives interviews. He blogs. He tweets. He provides sound-bites. And in his demagoguery lies the reassurance that many insecure Indians are looking for.
It is not as though India has forgotten the events of 2002. Nor is it that voters have suddenly turned communal or anti-Muslim.****** It is just that at a time when a crisis-ridden India is being run by an invisible prime minister, many Indians will take whatever visible leadership they can find.
The UPA has spent too long ignoring the rise of Narendra Modi. It has failed to successfully demolish his exaggerated claims on behalf of the so-called Gujarat model. It makes the mistake of believing that Modi’s polarising record will keep people from voting for him.
In fact, voters have not forgotten 2002. But they are now so fed up and desperate that they are willing to take the chance that Modi will be more responsible this time.
The only hope for the UPA is to demonstrate that there is life beyond Manmohan Singh and his Cabinet and coterie of yesterday’s men. It must push a younger generation forward and suggest that it can provide strong, imaginative and visible leadership.
Its leaders can no longer afford to parachute in and out of the issues. There must be sustained engagement in political discourse and there must be evidence of bold decision-making.
Otherwise, in urban India at least, Modi is fast becoming the man of the future; not because India has forgotten all the terrible things that he has done******* but because the UPA has forgotten how to govern and how to lead. And nature abhors a vacuum.

MY COMMENTS (BAFS)
Vir Sanghvi
My French friend ALAIN SORAL says that mainstream journalists are whores and the good ones are jobless! I hold the same view. What this whore wrote is just hogwash otherwise would have have found at least 7 points to write negative comments?
* most Indians were not only better off than before...
Only a fool can see that most Indians were better off than before. Let the readers do their own research. Aborting 50 million babies because they are girls, rampant crime, drugs, suicides, poverty ... continually on the increase
** the 2002 riots
These were not riots, but planned extermination bordering genocide, supported by the racist and Zionist Hindu government.
*** Law and order has spun out of control.
What Law? Anglo-British imperialist and colonialist dictatorial Law? Admiralty Law always make sheep of the masses, but sooner or later some of the sheep do grow up teeth and they are harder to control!
**** corruption scandal after corruption scandal rocks the government.
Governments never rule any Third World country as most of them are neo-colonies of the military super powers, and when they try to they are systematically destroyed: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Kashmir, Palestine, etc. All countries that work for those super powers, including Arabia, are totally corrupt, which is perfectly normal. Were they not corrupt, the Globalists would never let them stay in power.
***** this government has provided no evidence that it knows how to lead.
India obeys orders from her Western masters and the Hindu government does not lead the nation but the UNO Dictatorship, the usurious World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the Lethal World Heath Organisation, and the terrorist entity known as Israel do!
****** solutions in the form of the so-called Gujarat model
Why does Vir Sanghvi not called a spade a spade. The Gujerat model was the extermination of an entire Muslim population bordering genocide.
******* communal or anti-Muslim
The Hindu government (Anglo-India or Bharat) is racist, anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and anti-Islamic. This can easily be proven by watching the racist "Bollywood" films led often by Hinduised Muslims and Muslim hypocrites where they are seen worshipping Hindu and Christian idols or promoting Sikism and Sikh culture.

Please, read also the
"Coming to terms with India’s missing Muslims"
The reality of exclusion and discrimination can no longer be denied. But the remedy requires political courage on the part of the Manmohan Singh Government and wisdom on the part of those claiming to speak for Muslims.
But when things go wrong, people look for the opposite. They want visible leadership. They prefer their politicians to seem totally in control. They like somebody who is not scared of conflict.

Circumstances have forced me to write this article due to very
disturbing geopolitical events that are developing in other parts of
the world. I am not the type of person who likes to rain in on anyone's
parade but something is troubling me. This article is not going to be
very popular amongst many people because everyone wants to celebrate the
"détente" that has developed between Iran and the United
States which is simply just a smokescreen. What we are merely seeing is
just a 'good cop-bad cop' scenario being used in order to undermine Iran
from within as we have recently seen with the assassination of the
Iranian Cyber Commander Mojtaba Ahmadi http://rt.com/news/iran-assassination-report-cyber-662/.
As they say, "actions speak louder than words" and the zionist west
along with israHell will accept nothing
less than the complete submission of the
Islamic Republic of Iran into slavery. Yet it is not the Middle East
that will be the topic of the hour but a person who will rise to
prominence very soon in another country that is going to create wider
repercussions to this area as well as to the rest of the world at large
should he end up becoming the next prime minister in 2014. The big
problem is people don't want to listen as they want to continue to
celebrate and ignore the looming danger on the horizon that I see.
Perhaps they honestly don't know or they do know but they live in denial
and prefer to have their heads in the sand. There is an old saying,
"What you don't know can't hurt you." but I'm afraid this is not the
case because the demon I see riding upon the clouds approaching ever
closer has only one thing on his mind and that is war. After having
faced devastation at the hands of such
demons as George Bush(1 and 2),Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Barack Obama,
and other assorted demons from the west; I'm afraid the Islamic World is
going to face more devastation this time coming from the East. No, I
don't mean Hulagu Khan coming back from the dead to sack Baghdad like he
did in 1258 but he and the present day demon of the east are very
similar to each other. Both of them have a very deep hatred of Islam and
want to see it completely destroyed but while Hulagu Khan is burning in
Hell(Jahanam) for killing millions of people, the other demon has still
yet to rack up a body count in the millions but is working on it and he
is none other than Narendra Modi(aka The Butcher Of Gujarat).
Who is Narendra Modi? This is the question that needs to be asked
because this monster is going to
have his finger on the nuclear trigger when he becomes the next prime
minister of India. Every time someone wants to call this man out as a
mass murderer who planned the Gujarat Genocide they are going to end
up running into his supporters especially those of the Hindutvadi
variety who always shoot back with the Godhra train fire so they can
justify the vile crimes committed against the victims of Gujarat which
is simply a microcosm of the wide scale persecution Muslims(and other
minorities such as Christians) face across India.The official story goes
that Hindus returning from Ayodhya were attacked by a mob of Muslims
who threw petrol on the coach resulting in the deaths of pilgrims for no
good reason and this led to the Gujarat Genocide. Yet this cause and
effect answer is utterly ridiculous due to the fact that numerous so
called "Islamic terrorist" attacks throughout
history are actually false
flags such as the King David Hotel
bombing all the way to the
present. I don't need to go into all the details but in the case of
India, 26/11 is the most infamous case with Jonathan Azaziah covering
this in detail http://www.maskofzion.com/2011/01/2611-mossad-terrorizes-mumbai.html. The
Godhra train fire is no different. One damning piece of evidence during
the investigation into this tragedy was that the fire started from the
inside of S-6 coach and one the glaring things most people would prefer
to sweep under the rug was that "The intensity of the fire was such that
even the iron rods, the seats, the fans were all burnt to such an
extent that we found them twisted and molten out of shape." http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article2684.html
Yet the question that needs to be asked is this: What type of flammable
liquid can do this which melts iron and steel into a formless mass?
Diesel and kerosene certainly can't even do this as this would violate
the laws of physics and while Narendra Modi uses every opportunity to
blame Muslims for Godhra on his campaign trail, poor Muslims living in
the slums would certainly not have had access to something this
advanced. The prime suspects of course would be the Karsevaks in
which investigations show that, “According to the sequence of events as
found by the police, all was not well in coach S-6 of the
Ahmedabad-bound Sabarmati Express on that day. A group of unruly
Ram sevaks had boarded the train at Lucknow without reser-vations and
had put to discomfort the 66 genuine passengers of the coach. Some of
the
ticket-paying passengers had to sleep on the floor; so overcrowded had
the compartment become that the ticket collector who came aboard the
train at Ratlam (two stations before Godhra) was not allowed to enter
the coach." http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article2684.html. Of
course unruly Karsevaks would immediately raise suspicion if they ever
brought in containers of petrol but they would certainly not raise
any suspicions if they brought in an incendiary which was in a powdered
form and in one of areas of Gujarat, Ahmedabad, many of the iron gates
window grills, and railings were completely melted through http://www.islamawareness.net/Persecution/Gujarat/seven.html.
Even more damning
evidence shows that Narendra Modi was in israHell a few months before
the Gujarat Genocide propelled him into the spotlight and the most
damning of all is the fact that the chemical packets used to burn homes
and families in this frenzy of mass murder had printed on them 'Made in
Israel' http://www.milligazette.com/Archives/01082002/01082002080.htm.
Not only did the bloody hand of zion show itself on that fateful day on
February 27, 2002 by supplying the weapon for a real holocaust but I'll
even go far as to say that israHell was heavily involved in planning
this genocide with Modi. In this living Hell over 2,500 Muslims were
burned alive with another 250,000 forced to flee their homes and are
still to this day living in refugee
camps*. What is most
frustrating to the victims of this tragedy is the fact that the
murderers and rapist continue to walk the streets with impunity knowing
fully well they got away with their crimes because the police, state,
and national government fully took part in this pre-planned military
operation of zionist backed terrorism. What makes it even more painful
for the victims was the fact that it was their own neighbors who did
this to them! Where is the justice damn it?! Gujarat was more than just a
massacre, it was a test israHell gave to Modi and he passed with flying
bloody colors. The next phase of the plan is getting their Golem into
place so he can become the next prime minister.
It doesn't take a
rocket scientist to figure out that Butcher of Gujarat met with all the
top officials of the zionist entity from the now dead and burning in
Hell Ariel Sharon(aka The Butcher of Sabra
Shatila) all the way to Benjamin Netanyahu himself. I have no doubt in
my mind that Netanyahu is looking with keen interest on Modi's election
campaign especially considering the fact that you have a company called
APCO worldwide which is an israHelli PR firm that's helped in the past
to promote the "image" of war criminals George W. Bush and Tony Blair
and is now helping this Frankenstein on his "image" http://greatgameindia.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/mechanics-of-narendra-modis-pr-agency-apco-worldwide-orchestrating-our-future/. This
PR firm is up to it's neck with the numerous jewish lobbies in
Washington D.C. and is heavily involved in promoting Islamophobia and
selling the War on Islam in order to further
bring about World War Three all for the quest of creating Greater
israHell. And wait, there's more! Associated with this company of devils
advocates is none other The Butcher of Southeast Asia and jewish
supremacist Henry Kissinger who's obsessed with reducing the worlds
population or to put it more bluntly,planetary genocide(Ibid). I have no
idea how the hell you can improve the "image" of a mass murderer but
then again the jews have been selling their "image" as the eternal
"victims" to the whole world that now they hold 6 Billion people hostage
with over 300 to 400 nuclear bombs in that implanted cancerous tumor in
the heart of the Islamic World. Anything associated with israHell reeks
of death and even though Narendra Modi was denied a visa to visit
western countries such as the United States in 2005, it wasn't because
these western countries were concerned about human rights. After all
this was an act of hypocrisy
considering the fact that they were in the process of butchering
millions in Afghanistan and Iraq along with approving the torture of
Muslims as policy. Perhaps the mass murderers in the west were concerned
about their "image" or they were probably disappointed that he didn't
kill millions of Muslims like they were doing but now he looks like he's
acceptable to them now in 2013 considering the British made the first
move to bring him out of the cold http://rehmat1.com/2013/08/16/british-friends-of-india-invite-mass-murderer-modi/.
As the
stench of
death continues to fill the air with every passing year, in the
first week of September another pre-planned massacre of Muslims took
place in the town of Muzzaffarnagar in the State of Uttar Pradesh
leaving a total of 60 people dead and 45,000 displaced with the vast
majority of those being Muslims. The whole world completely ignored it
like nothing ever happened and this recent manifestation of
violence started when Narendra Modi's BJP conducted incendiary speeches
riling up local Hindus, who then uploaded fake videos claiming Hindus
were being hanged in India by Muslims when in reality the video showing
the lynching took place in the Pakistani city of Sialkot http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Muzaffarnagar-riots-On-social-media-rumours-and-anger/articleshow/22446959.cms http://ibnlive.in.com/news/muzaffarnagar-riots-bjp-mla-booked-for-uploading-fake-video/420774-3-242.html http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/muzaffarnagar-riots-a-meeting-after-friday-prayers-exploited-by-politicians-416915 http://www.firstpost.com/india/muzaffarnagar-riots-up-govt-releases-compensation-for-victims-1170257.html.
Uttar Pradesh should be familiar to anyone who has studied history or
has lived long enough to understand that this was also where the Babri
Masjid demolition happened in 1992 which was India's way of announcing
to the world her open alliance with israHell that had previously been
hidden.When Modi talks about implementing the 'Gujarat Model' across
India this is what he means.This man is essentially
a Hindu zionist par excellence and is totally fixated on creating
his Akhand Bharat stretching from Afghanistan to Indonesia and he will
stop at nothing to get it whether by hook or by crook. They feel it is
now the right time due to the very critical situation going on in
Pakistan right now with the Islamic World is fighting on multiple
fronts. Some battlefronts are so critical that losing a single battle on
that front can cause you to lose the whole
war. While Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is winning against the
zionist backed fourth generation proxy war being imposed upon
him, things are turning sour on the South Asian Front. During the UN
General Assembly on September 28 the vile and disgusting house Sikh and
disgrace to his own people Mammohan Singh had the nerve to call Pakistan
the "epicenter of terrorism" which is totally and absolutely false http://tribune.com.pk/story/610815/with-one-eye-on-peace-manmohan-terms-pakistan-an-epicentre-of-terrorism/.
Pakistan has been the biggest victim of terrorism and this disgusting
speech done by Mammohan Singh needs to be seen for what it really is-a
declaration of war. Perhaps the prime minister ought to be reminded of
the fact that one of their spies named Surjeet Singh was involved in
terrorism and totally confessed to being a spy for India after being
released from a Pakistani prison which is something you would never hear
about in the jewish controlled media in the west http://paktribune.com/articles/Daring-Confession-of-Indian-Spy-Surjeet-Singh-242933.html. The
unholy trinity of the United States, IsraHell, and India are fully
intent on breaking up Pakistan through the use of Fourth Generation
Warfare which would then lead the way for a ground invasion in order
to destroy the Islamic World's only nuclear weapons state so israHell
can have a freehand in the Middle East. The eminent security analyst for
'Brasstacks', Zaid Hamid has even admitted that Pakistan is now
losing the battle in fourth generation warfare and if he is saying this
then things are really serious http://takbeeremusalsal.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-debate-with-zaid-hamid-10th-program.html.
The so called western withdrawal from Afghanistan is merely just dust
in the eyes which is the same for this "détente" which is merely being
used to lull people to sleep in order to
get all the chess pieces into place with Modi being
the most important one. Once everything is in place we will then see a
series of wars which will culminate in the big war or the Malhama.
Since 1947 there have been over 300 massacres of Muslims in India http://rehmat1.com/2008/12/03/india-an-artificial-state/.
All these Hindutva groups never accepted the existence of Pakistan or
Islam in their midst but it is the present actions you see today which
is the reason why Mohammed Ali Jinnah had to found a new country so they
would be safe from these persecutions.The same goes with the Indian
Congress Party under Rahul and Sonia Gandhi. What makes them different
from the Hindutvadis is that they let the media and Bollywood do the
anti-Islam bashing but they both have the same goal in mind. We need to
understand the history because just before partition when Muslims were
migrating to Pakistan, over 5 million Muslims were slaughtered by
numerous Hindutva groups with the connivance of Jawaharlal Nehru and
Lord Mountbatten and this too was pre-planned and not a spontaneous
reaction as some would put it. Fact of the matter is the highest caste
in India the Brahmins, along with the political leaders suffer from an
inferiority complex. You see they carry a baggage in their mind and
haven't forgotten the thousand years of Muslim rule on the
subcontinent. How was it that a small number of Muslims coming from the
west were able to rule a united Hindustan for such a large period of
time? They are at a loss to explain this. You need to understand that
both India and Pakistan are in a constant state of perpetual war with
Kashmir being a flashpoint since 1947. In 1971 India was able to
dismember the eastern wing of Pakistan which is today Bangladesh and
israHell played a hidden role in this prototype of fourth generation
warfare which we now see happening today in Syria and Pakistan http://rehmat1.com/2010/04/29/how-india-israel-created-bangladesh/.
In her victory speech on December 16, 1971 Indira Gandhi immediately
revealed the true nature of why they fought the war saying " we have
avenged
the defeat of one thousand years of Muslim rule and slavery and
drowned the two nation theory in the Bay of Bengal". Where Indira Gandhi
left off, Narendra Modi plans to finish the job of destroying
Pakistan because he sees Islam and all these countries around India as
an aberration. We need to prepare for the worst because it's not a
matter of if but when Narendra Modi comes to power and time is running
out with each passing day. This man is essentially Abu Jahal incarnate.
We have no idea what will happen but I do suspect that if this man gets
into power a false flag will happen in India much like what happened
happened last September with israHells false flag attack in Kenya in
which the Indian media started screaming 26/11 all over again http://muhammad-ali-ben-marcus.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-warmongering-west-destroyed-germany.html
. This man survives on anti-Islamic sentiment and there isn't a
massacre of Muslims this man hasn't liked. No doubt if that false flag
happens he can either immediately launch a war on Pakistan or he will
launch the 'Gujarat Model' across India with the brunt being faced by
Kashmiri Muslims which in turn would force Pakistan's hand to stop the
genocide which would quickly spiral into World War 3.
Let me give you a quote by someone who interviewed Narendra Modi in the
early 1990's when he was an absolute nobody in the BJP which is very
revealing about this man:
“More
than a decade ago, when Narendra Modi was a nobody, a small-time RSS
pracharak trying to make it as a small-time BJP functionary, I had the
privilege of interviewing him. . . . Modi, it gives me no pleasure to
tell the readers, met virtually all the criteria that psychiatrists,
psycho-analysts and psychologists had set up after years of empirical
work on the authoritarian personality. He had the same mix of
puritanical rigidity, narrowing of emotional life, massive use of the
ego defence of projection, denial and fear of his own passions combined
with fantasies of violence – all set within the matrix of clear paranoid
and obsessive personality traits. I still remember the cool, measured
tone in which he elaborated a theory of cosmic
conspiracy against India that painted every Muslim as a suspected
traitor and a potential terrorist. I came out of the interview shaken
and told Yagnik that, for the first time, I had met a textbook case of a
fascist and a prospective killer, perhaps even a future mass murderer.”

[The
interview you are about to see was done by
Karan Thapar in October of 2007 five years after the Gujarat
Genocide.The interview with Narendra Modi only lasted 5 minutes. The
question that needs to be asked is this: What is Modi going to do if he
is cornered on the world stage knowing full well he has the nuclear
trigger. When Modi becomes prime minister I expect Karan Thapar to face
an unfortunate "accident" or face a "suicide"]
Transcript:
Mr
Narendra Modi lets start by talking about
you. In the six years that you have been the Chief Minister of Gujarat
Rajeev Gandhi foundation has declared Gujarat to be the best
administered state. India today on the two separate ocassions declared
that you are the most efficient Chief Minister and despite that people
still call you, to your face, a mass murderer. And they accuse you of
being prejudiced against Muslims? Do you have an image problem?
Narendra Modi: I think it's not proper to say that people. There are two or three persons who talk in this terminology and I always say God bless them.
Karan Thapar:You are saying this is the conspiracy of two or three persons only.
Narendra Modi: I have not said so.
Karan Thapar: But you are saying its only two or three people.
Narendra Modi: This is the information I have. It's the people's voice.
Karan Thapar: Can I point out to you that in September 2003 the Supreme Court said that they had lost faith in the Gujarat government. In April 2004 the Chief Justice of Supreme Court said that you were like a modern day Nero who looks the other side when helpless children and innocent women are burned. The Supreme Court seems to have a problem with you.
Narendra Modi: Karan, I have a small request to make. Please go through the Supreme Court judgement. If there is anything in writing, I'll be happy to know everything.
Karan Thapar: There was nothing in writing you are right. It was an observation.
Narendra Modi: if it is in judgement then I'll be happy to give you the answer.
Karan Thapar: But do you mean a criticism by the Chief Justice in court doesn't matter?
Narendra Modi: It's a simple request. Please go through the court judgement. Hand out the sentence you are quoting and let the people know it.
Karan Thapar: Okay. It wasn't just an open comment made by the Chief Justice. In August 2004, the Supreme Court reopened 2100 cases out of a total of 4600 -- almost 40 per cent -- and they did so because they believed that justice hadn't happened in Gujarat.
Narendra Modi: I'll be happy. Ultimately the court of law will take the judgement.
Karan Thapar: But isn't this the reason that despite the fact India today called you the best Chief Minister, Rajeev Gandhi foundation said Gujarat is the best administered state, people say Modi is prejudiced against the Muslims. This is why I ask you do you have an image problem?
Narendra Modi: Actually I have not spent a single minute on my image and that can also be a reason. I am busy with my work. I am committed to Gujarat. I am dedicated to Gujarat. I never talk about my image. I never spent a single minute for my image and therefore confusions may be there.
Karan Thapar: I'll tell you what the problem is. Even five years after the Gujarat killings of 2002 the ghost of Gujarat still haunts you. why have you not done more to allay that ghost?
Narendra Modi: This I gave it to the media persons like Karan Thapar. Let them enjoy.
Karan Thapar: Can I suggest something to you?
Narendra Modi: I have no problem.
Karan Thapar: Why can't you say that you regret the killings that happened. Why can't you say may be the government should have done more to protect them?
Narendra Modi: What I had to say I have said at that time and you can find out my statements.
Karan Thapar: Just say it again.
Narendra Modi: Not necessary. I have to talk about in 2007 everything you want to talk about.
Karan Thapar: But by not saying it again, by not letting people hear the message repeatedly you are allowing an image contrary to Gujarat to continue. It's in your hands to change it.
Narendra Modi: I'll have to rest. I need some water.
Karan Thapar: Pani.
Narendra Modi: Dosti bani rahe, bass. I'll be happy. You came here. I am happy and thankful to you. I can't do this interview. It's okay, your things are. Apne ideas hain aap bolte rahiye aap karte rahiye. Three - four questions I've already enjoyed. Nahin please.
Karan Thapar: But Modi Sahab
Narendra Modi: Nahi please, Karan.
Karan Thapar:But Modi Sahab
Narendra Modi: Karan dekho main dostana sambhand rakhna chahta hoon, aap usko koshish kariye.
Karan Thapar: Mujhe ek cheez samjhayee sir. I am not talking about doing anything wrong. I am saying why can't you correct your image?
Narendra Modi: This is not the time. Uske liye aap mujhe 2002 mein mile hote, 2003 mein mile hote. Mein sab kar leta.
Narendra Modi: I think it's not proper to say that people. There are two or three persons who talk in this terminology and I always say God bless them.

"Coming to terms with India’s missing Muslims"
Global Research, November 05, 2006
svaradarajan.blogspot.com 5 November 2006
The reality of exclusion and discrimination can no longer be denied. But the remedy requires political courage on the part of the Manmohan Singh Government and wisdom on the part of those claiming to speak for Muslims.
WHEN THE Justice Rajinder Sachar committee submits its report on the
socio-economic status of Muslims, the full extent of the community’s
exclusion will be obvious to all. Especially those who have made
political careers out of the canard that Muslims in India enjoy special
privileges and have been “appeased.”
Based on the data leaked so far, it is evident there are entry barriers Muslims — who account for around 15 per cent of India’s population — are unable to cross in virtually all walks of life. From the administration and the police to the judiciary and the private sector, the invisible hands of prejudice, economic and educational inequality seem to have frozen the `quota’ for Muslims at three to five per cent. Thanks to a hysterical campaign run by the Bharatiya Janata Party and some media houses, the Sachar committee was denied data on the presence of Muslims in the armed forces. But even there it is apparent that the three per cent formula applies.
This gross under-presence of Muslims in virtually every sector is presaged by substantial inequalities in education. Muslim enrolment and retention rates at the primary and secondary levels are lower than the national average and this further magnifies existing inequalities at the college level as well as in the labour market. For virtually every socio-economic marker of well being, the Muslim is well below the national norm — not to speak of the level commensurate with her or his share of the national population — and the evidence suggests these inequalities are not decreasing over time.
This bleak statistical picture is rendered drearier still by new trends visible in many cities. Muslims, for example, find it extremely difficult to rent and buy property outside of “Muslim areas” in some metros. Apart from several journalists, I even know of one former Muslim Union Minister in Delhi whose Hindu colleagues had to intercede to find him a flat. In Mumbai, the situation is perhaps worse. Many Muslim businessmen have problems accessing credit, besides having to run the gamut of uncooperative officials who look upon them with suspicion at every turn. Even in politics, as Iqbal A. Ansari’s recent book, Political Representation of Muslims in India, 1952-2004, has shown, Muslims have consistently been under-represented in the Lok Sabha and all State Assemblies since Independence except Kerala. Only half as many Muslim MPs and MLAs get elected as one might expect based on their population share. In the absence of our political parties throwing up a large enough number of Muslim elected representatives, clerics and obscurantists are only too willing to step into the breach.
The `war on terrorism’ has added a new layer to this already intolerable situation as policemen across the country give free vent to their ignorance and religious prejudice. The tendency of law enforcement agencies to target Muslims during incidents of communal violence is well known. The complicity of the police in the Gujarat pogrom of 2002 was reprehensible but not so different from what the country witnessed at other times in other places. As for legal redress, neither government nor judiciary shows any sense of urgency. Terrorist crimes such as the Mumbai blasts are prosecuted energetically and this is a good thing. But no one is able to explain what happened to the cases stemming from the killing of Muslims in Mumbai in 1992 and 1993 nor why the Srikrishna Commission recommendations against erring policemen remain unimplemented.
The media are a corrective but only to a limited extent. If one section has sought to highlight the plight of Indian Muslims, another section is constantly ready to inflame prejudice by staging debates on irrelevant issues, giving undue prominence to ridiculous statements by unrepresentative `Muslim leaders’ or broadcasting marital disputes within Muslim families (as one channel did last week) as proof of `Muslim backwardness.’
In the U.S., the old journalistic adage was `Jews is News’. In India, it seems, anything that shows Muslims as ignorant or fanatical helps propel TRP ratings, while rational comment is frowned upon as unhelpful. A Muslim MP was asked recently to take part in a TV debate on whether there should be reservation for Muslims. He agreed, but added that he would argue against it. The channel’s reporter then tried convincing him that “surely your community needs reservation.” When he didn’t agree, the channel lost interest in putting him on air. One studio guest recently advised Muslims to shed their `persecution complex’ and to not forget that theirs were the “hands that built the Taj Mahal.” Though no one would dare accuse Dalits of “doing nothing” to uplift themselves, Muslims are blamed for their poverty and poor education. They are gratuitously advised to study hard, as if the problem of lack of schools, delinquent teachers, inadequate books, and poverty can be remedied by will power alone.
The reservation trap
It is against the backdrop of this highly vitiated atmosphere that the Manmohan Singh Government must formulate a response to the Sachar committee’s findings. The reality of systemic inequality cannot be wished away and the Government must find the political courage to confront this situation head on. So serious are the implications of Muslim marginalisation that the Congress must open a channel of communication with other parties, including the BJP, to evolve a consensus on the necessity for urgent corrective measures.
Among the remedial measures to be considered, the least helpful in substantive as well as political terms will be reservation. Whatever they do, Muslim leaders and those who claim to speak in favour of Muslims, must avoid the trap that the demand for reservation is. Sixty years of affirmative action have led to some improvements for Dalits and Tribals but it is clear that the country and its rulers have used the sop of reservation as an excuse to do nothing about the persistent, underlying causes of caste-based inequality.
It is now universally recognised that the pursuit of “equality of outcomes” and “equality of opportunity” must go hand in hand. Even equality of opportunity has a formal and a substantive aspect. `Formal’ equality means ending discrimination on the basis of caste, religion or gender. `Substantive’ equality means overcoming the barriers (or benefits) children of equal native talent inherit from their parents so that none is advantaged or disadvantaged by birth. The India state pays lip service to the idea of equality of outcomes (through quotas) but completely ignores the necessity of crafting expenditure policies that can provide equality of opportunity. Nowhere is this more glaring than in the field of education where the increased notional access of Dalits and Tribals to university is undercut by high dropout rates and underperformance at the school level.
In a 2000 paper, Julian Betts and John Roemer model the amount of differential expenditure the United States government would have to make to provide equality of opportunity to its citizens. In a typology where they define four categories of males based on whether they are White or Black and whether their parents have `High’ or `Low’ education levels, Betts and Roemer conclude that the `equality of opportunity’ expenditure on education must be nine times higher for members of the `Low Black’ group than the `High Whites’. They also found that the `High Black,’ `Low Black,’ and `Low White’ groups must all receive more than their per capita share of educational resources if equality of opportunity were to be guaranteed.
Both in the U.S. and in India today, the actual allocation of educational resources is regressive in that those who are affluent and socially privileged corner a greater share of social allocations for education than their relative size in the population. In reality, then, existing affirmative action — or reservation — is for the privileged and the goal of public policy has to be to reverse that by using the target of public expenditure. An important finding in Betts and Roemer’s work is that economic targeting alone won’t alter the relative distribution of income across cohorts. The targeting has to be aimed at the discriminated or excluded cohort.
In India, the first task of the government must be to guarantee formal equality of opportunity by dealing firmly with discrimination in the labour, housing and credit markets as well as educational system. Without instituting a system of reservation — which would generate more political heat than tangible benefit for Muslims — the Government must send out a clear and unambiguous message that the social cohesiveness and future growth prospects of the country require government departments and private firms to encourage the recruitment of Muslims. But in order to generate substantive equality of opportunity and uproot inequality and exclusion from their roots, the government has to guarantee better access to education at every level for Muslims, Dalits, Tribals, and OBCs.
All of this is only a first approximation and much more will need to be done. What is important, however, is that we recognise both the reality of Muslim exclusion and the urgent need to do something about it.

In a typology where they define four categories of males based on whether they are White or Black and whether their parents have `High’ or `Low’ education levels, Betts and Roemer conclude that the `equality of opportunity’ expenditure on education must be nine times higher for members of the `Low Black’ group than the `High Whites’. They also found that the `High Black,’ `Low Black,’ and `Low White’ groups must all receive more than their per capita share of educational resources if equality of opportunity were to be guaranteed.
Both in the U.S. and in India today, the actual allocation of educational resources is regressive in that those who are affluent and socially privileged corner a greater share of social allocations for education than their relative size in the population. In reality, then, existing affirmative action — or reservation — is for the privileged and the goal of public policy has to be to reverse that by using the target of public expenditure. An important finding in Betts and Roemer’s work is that economic targeting alone won’t alter the relative distribution of income across cohorts. The targeting has to be aimed at the discriminated or excluded cohort.
In India, the first task of the government must be to guarantee formal equality of opportunity by dealing firmly with discrimination in the labour, housing and credit markets as well as educational system. Without instituting a system of reservation — which would generate more political heat than tangible benefit for Muslims — the Government must send out a clear and unambiguous message that the social cohesiveness and future growth prospects of the country require government departments and private firms to encourage the recruitment of Muslims. But in order to generate substantive equality of opportunity and uproot inequality and exclusion from their roots, the government has to guarantee better access to education at every level for Muslims, Dalits, Tribals, and OBCs.
All of this is only a first approximation and much more will need to be done. What is important, however, is that we recognise both the reality of Muslim exclusion and the urgent need to do something about it.
