Time-related changes in splenic immunocyte population in mice after a subcutaneous injection of beryllium
T. Sakaguchi*, S. Sakaguchi, Y. Ina, K. Machida
Objective: We studied time-related changes in splenic immunocyte population in mice after a subcutaneous injection of beryllium (Be). Material and methods: We analyzed cell populations in spleen of mice, which was injected with 50 μg of Be by a flow-cytometric assay. Results: The percentage of lymphoid cells decreased and the percentages of granulocyte-like cells and macrophage-like cells increased in the mice at the 3rd day after injection (the Be-3 group). Then, the percentages of the CD4-positive cells and the CD8-positive cells were significantly lower and the percentage of the B cells was significantly higher in the Be-3 group than in the untreated mice (the Cont group), Conclusion: The rate of CD4- and CD8-positive cells to B cells in the Be-3 group was significantly lower than that in the Cont group. In our previous paper, we reported that Be promoted the complement and coagulant system at 3 days after injection. These findings suggested that the activity of cellular immunity was suppressed and that of humoral immunity was enhanced at the 3rd day after the Be injection.

However, fighter-bomber variants ('Hurribombers') retained an edge in the ground attack role, due to their impressive armament of four 20 mm (.79 in) cannon and a 500 lb (230 kg) bomb load.

The Western roots of "Middle-Eastern" terrorism
22222 Views February 14, 2017 20 Comments	Guest Analyses The Saker
By Amir NOUR[1]
Convinced that terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations, committed by whomever, wherever and for whatever purposes, is unacceptable and unjustifiable, member States of the United Nations were finally able to adopt, on September 8, 2006, a common approach within the framework of the "United Nations global counter-terrorism strategy ». But, ten years later, the "international community" has yet to agree on a consensus definition of the common enemy, which continues to grow and expand, thus inflicting devastation and untold misery, mainly to the States and the peoples of the Arab and Muslim world.
However, in a bitter irony, and in total defiance of established historical truths, these very victims and their majority religion -Islam- are accused by some of the crime of sponsoring transnational terrorism, hence jeopardizing international peace and security.
But who is really to be held liable for the birth and expansion of the phenomenon of violence in modern times, against the consequences of which a number of visionary thinkers like Malek Bennabi and Eric E. Hobsbawm had yet forewarned the world a century ago already?
The opinions exposed in this paper on this burning topic aren't expressed by Muslim officials or thinkers. They are those of Westerners, at different levels of authority and moral and political responsibility, representing the obverse and the reverse of the terrorism medal, and pointing out the historical responsibility of some Western governments They are representative of a "politically incorrect" voice whose echo is barely audible in the middle of the media tumult skillfully orchestrated by the new "self-righteous".
Terrorism, Islam and treason of the clerks
Recently, magistrate Vincent Sizaire, author of the book titled "L'Imposture sécuritaire", explained[2] that the characterization of terrorism is more about political calculation than legal hermeneutics, since it is necessarily the result of a process of balance of power and political assessment, at the end of which the powers to be tend to apply it in a more or less discretionary manner to a particular criminal rather than another. Sizaire highlights how it is problematic, today, to use the same term to refer to activities undertaken by fanatical and obscurantist groups, and to actions of political opponents of authoritarian regimes.
Therefore, there can obviously be no question for the need to put forward a new definition of this concept, one less equivocal. Indeed, it should be pointed out that, to date, no one definition of terrorism has gained universal acceptance. Alex Schmid and Albert Jongman identify 109 different definitions[3]. The United Nations still can't find an agreed upon definition among its member States since December 17, 1996, date of adoption by the General Assembly of resolution 51/210, by which it was decided to create a special Committee to develop a comprehensive convention on international terrorism. It's so controversial a debate that, according to Oliver Libaw, even in the United States -where the "Global War on Terror" was launched in 2001- "it turns out that no one is all that sure just what 'terrorism' is"[4].
Thus, the future still looks bright for the famous and often-cited claim that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"[5]. Never mind! For one school of thought in the West, terrorism, barbarity and intolerance are consubstantial to Islam as a religion. Consequently, in the face of the "crazy Muslim zealots" who "see progress as an evil, tolerance as a weakness and pacifism as a sin", and "call for murder and destruction", resistance and relentless struggle are to be opposed within a "long Fourth World War"[6], akin to those waged by the "Free World" against fascism and nazism during the First and Second World Wars, and against communism during the third world war, presumably completed with the end of the cold war in 1989.
Nothing seems to shake the certainties of the proponents of this "dominant thought" often described as neoconservative, mainly conveyed by Western and Israeli think tanks, and relayed by their powerful mainstream media. And it would be pointless to remind them, for instance, that in the absence of a comprehensive international convention on terrorism-a result of the lack of a consensus definition that should be distinguished from the legitimate struggle of peoples for self-determination and which should include "State terrorism"- Arab and Muslim States have developed their own legal instruments within their regional groups; that in the 1990s, a country like Algeria fought alone against terrorism -before a suspicious international silence- that cost her more than 200,000 deaths and economic losses estimated at more than $ 30 billion; that 95% of lives lost to "terrorist barbarity" are to be found among Muslims[7]; that the highest official authorities of Islam have condemned without appeal both the ideology and actions of terrorist groups; and that the overwhelming majority of Muslim populations reject terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, as confirmed by statistics provided by Western survey institutes and agencies themselves.
In his time, Julien Benda denounced the "betrayal of the clerks". More recently, Pascal Boniface pin the "intellectual counterfeiters" who bear a heavy responsibility in "the place occupied by lies in the public debate". He targets in particular those who tend to equate Islam and terrorism by referring to "fascislamism" and contribute to nurture a neoconservative approach that thrives in the West since the 9/11 attacks.
We have already addressed this issue of Islam as a mobilizing and unifying scarecrow in the West[8]. We have reported "a dangerous semantic shift that we constantly observe since the fall of the Berlin Wall: from 'counter-terrorism' actions, we jumped to war against 'Islamic terrorism', and then to the fight against 'Islamic extremism' ". And we have, inevitably, raised the following question: "Are we soon going to abandon superfluous adjectives and hypocritical euphemisms to openly claim the war against Islam itself ?". Since then, time and events seem to have proved us right…
Responsibility of the West regarding transnational terrorism
Some people believe that radical Islamism and jihadism are not an exclusive "creation" of the West. To think otherwise, they argue, would be to overestimate the Western influence in areas where many other local and international factors have contributed to their development over a long period of time. That is certainly right, and so is the fact that certain misguided policies pursued by Western powers, particularly by Anglo-Saxon countries, have greatly contributed to the emergence and expansion of these phenomena, especially since the iconic events of 9/11 and their disastrous 'by-products': the Afghan and Iraqi military expeditions.
Britain's role
This view is shared by Mark Curtis, who documented in a book[9] the collusion of the United Kingdom with Islamism since the last century. Based on reliable documentation and government archives, he dissects an aspect of British foreign policy, which has remained curiously ignored or deliberately obscured by the mainstream media. This collusion, he says, has "a long history which has contributed not only to the rise of radical Islam itself, but also to that of international terrorism, which the new strategy of national security of the UK Government has designated as the biggest threat to the country", and that the highest ranking officer of the British army has identified as "the fight of our generation, maybe our Thirty Years' War".
Curtis says that the share of responsibility of London in the emergence of the terrorist threat goes well beyond the impact its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have had on a few individuals. The most important fact in this story is, according to him, that the successive labour and conservative governments have, for decades, connived with radical Islamic forces, including terrorist organizations. They have, sometimes, trained and financed them in order to promote specific foreign policy objectives, with a view to desperately preserving what was left of British power and influence internationally, mainly in areas considered as sensitive but where it was no longer possible to impose their will and interests unilaterally or by relying on other local allies.
The role of the United States of America
In his book[10] published in 2005, Robert Dreyfuss meticulously documents the American role in this "Devil's Game". Drawing on archival research and interviews with policymakers and officials of the CIA, the Pentagon and the State Department, he analyzes the consequences of "sixty years of misguided efforts" on the part of the United States in order to dominate the economically and strategically vital Middle East region. Dreyfuss argues that America's historic alliance with the Islamic right is greatly to blame for the emergence of Islamist terrorism. He concludes by stating that "far from promoting democracy and security", this policy, which continues to this day, "ensures a future of blunders and blowback".
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of the late U.S. President J.F. Kennedy, also considered the long history of the violent interventions of his country in the region. He explains in a long article[11] in "Politico" magazine why we should look beyond convenient explanations of religion and ideology and examine instead the more complex rationales of history and oil "and how they often point the finger of blame back at our own shores". He also describes how "over the past seven decades, the Dulles brothers, the Cheney gang, the neocons and their ilk have hijacked that fundamental principle of American idealism and deployed our military and intelligence apparatus to serve the mercantile interests of large corporations and particularly, the petroleum companies and military contractors that have literally made a killing from these conflicts".
Moreover, a Foreign Policy Journal article[12] tells us that the White House had made the decision to support the armed radical Jihadists in Syria (that would later emerge as ISIL and Jabhat Al-Nusra) despite the warnings of the intelligence agencies, which provided for the advent of the Islamic State. This amazing information was confirmed by former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Lieutenant General Michael Flynn –after he resigned from his post in April 2014, much to everyone's surprise- who was previously the Director of information for the Center of command of special operations and, in that capacity, had the main mission to hunt down Usama Bin Laden and dismantle Al-Qaeda.
It is worth noting that this piece of information and other related revelations have been reported in a documentary film[13] broadcast by ARTE-TV channel, which explains "how, from Bush to Obama, America has left prosper the blind terror that Daesh took over". In this film, former members of the intelligence community, representatives of U.S. forces in Iraq, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and terrorism experts trace, with supporting evidence and archives, the thirteen years of "the lost war on terror".
Last but not least, during the 2016 presidential campaign, the GOP nominee, Donald Trump, said[14] that he meant exactly what he had declared previously in Florida, when he called President Barack Obama the "founder of ISIS". And when the conservative radio show host, Hugh Hewitt, tried to clarify Trump's position by saying he understood him to mean "that he (Obama) created the vacuum, he lost the peace", D. Trump objected, declaring "No, I meant he's the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton".
France's role
In his latest book[15], French philosopher Michel Onfray states that "terrorist Islam" was partially created by the bellicose West. Denouncing what he calls "contemporary colonial wars" conducted by some Western countries including France, he argues that Islamic regimes only started to threaten the West once, and only once the latter had indeed threatened them by brutal force.
For his part, Pierre Conesa, former senior official in the Ministry of defense, said[16] that his country "is paying a high price for a war that is not its own". In this regard, he cites the example of the intervention in Libya where France has "done on its own account what Bush did in Iraq, which is destroying a regime and leaving behind chaos it has no ability to manage".
In Syria, especially during the period when Laurent Fabius was the head of the Quai d'Orsay, this dubious interventionist policy resulted in total support to the rebels fighting against Al-Assad regime. Believing that the departure of the latter "is only a matter of weeks", Fabius said in August 2012 "Bashar Al-Assad would not deserve to be on Earth". And in December of the same year, reacting to Washington's decision to place Jabhat Al-Nusra on its list of terrorist organizations, he declared: "All Arabs were fiercely against" the American position "because, on the ground, they (the elements of Al-Nusra) do a good job"[17].
In conclusion, we would like to invite the public to ponder the wisdom of a thinker who once said that in the past weapons were manufactured to wage wars, but today wars are manufactured to sell weapons.
Yet unfortunately, it has to be recognized that the rhetoric on the "clash of civilizations", constantly and tirelessly repeated by some since the end of the cold war and the subsequent disappearance of the "indispensable enemy", seems to have achieved the objective assigned to it, chiefly by those who benefit from and pull the strings of the perpetuation of conflicts all over the world. This rhetoric has thus produced a dangerous "clash of fundamentalisms', which is updating the notions of "revenge of God", "Crusades" and "Jihad", and adding new ones such as "islamofascism". The consequence of this dramatic turn of events is illustrated, on the sought and obtained ground of confrontation, by a "clash of barbarities".
In today's increasing international turmoil, nobody should be blind to the fact that the biggest danger associated with this change is that since the end of the second world war, the world has entered the age of the "supreme weapon" –the atomic bomb- and other weapons of mass destruction, and that extremists on all sides are promising and fervently promoting a "Cosmic War" for "the triumph of Good over Evil". For some of them, it is a religious war, the ultimate war prior to the Apocalypse or the end of the world, whose theatre of operations one party sets in "Armageddon" and the other in "Dabiq", both places situated in the Levant, comprising Syria which is being today put to fire and sword…
Isn't it insane to believe that our civilized world is unable to find a path other than the one leading toward Mutually Agreed Destruction?

As an ex-white Rhodesia brain washed during the Ian Smith white minority government (1960s – 70s) and hero worshipping a Scandinavian mercenary from on the richest families who delighted in killing trips to the ex Belgian Congo (Tshombe, Lamumba, UN Secretary Hammerscholt , etc) and other Black Killing Zones, this article is very welcome.
African/Black/or Kaffirs or "munts", Terrorists in Rhodesia were referred to as "terrs" (a pun on "turds"=shit, I have no idea) a good one was a dead one. Naturally, SAS and ex-Vietnam soldiers were most appreciated. "Kafirs" in fact an Arabic term meaning non-believer of Mohammed.
We anglo-zionist whites are all Kafirs, too.
I left Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1976 when Israel most generously delivered 3-5 nuclear devices to South Africa to be placed on joint produced missiles.
Those apartheid days were great man,! Not just the Boks (Springboks) playing all white rugby while listening to pop-music minus the Bealtes (banned for insinuating the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ) The DIVIDENDS man, the profits!!!! Diamonds and Gold, hey!! With mega-contributions from the overbearing Jewish business community to Israel. Shalom !!
As John Pilger (Australian journalist) and others have repeatedly underlined the complete hypocrisy of London while supporting genocide in Indonesia, colonial wars in Oman-Yemen, oil wars in Nigeria, de-population of Chagas Island for a huge US airbase etc.,
How convenient the Colonial-Foreign office has lost, inadvertently lost through flooding of archives etc., many key documents recording London"s wheeling and dealings over the past 150 years in her colonies…… Damn poor showing chaps!! What !!!
So where is the border line between the City of London dominated by Rothschilds merry band and the present Foreign Office… who calls the shots? Who pays the endless mercenary and other security services based in London …the slush funds (bribes) of Royal Dutch-Shell or from the government coffers itself..with a few sheckels thrown in to oil the cogs…
We English, we wallow joyously in our hypocrisy and double-standards –
Terrorists we love them, including the Irish. We make them!!!! It is all good business man !!!
Those were the days hey!! And todays Zimbabwe and South Africa as most other ex-colonies are still managed and coerced by the City of London…diamonds, gold, tungsten,nickel, oil etc.,
Speak to the Belgian bankers, royalists and elite of their juicy historical ventures in the Congo..Joseph Conrad was spot on with his infamous novel..
Now in the US (another colony), they even have "domestic terrorists"… are they house trained!!! or do they poop (defacate) in their own nest…

"Kafirs" means disbeliever…disbeliever in what? in the One God. If you are a christian you are not a "kafir" :)
svenro on February 14, 2017 · at 10:13 am EST/EDT
kafir كافر
a person who is not a Muslim (used chiefly by Muslims). according to the Koran, the kafir is characterized by his worldliness.
ORIGIN from Arabic kāfir 'infidel, unbeliever'. "disbeliever". The term[1] alludes to a person who rejects or disbelieves in God and… the teachings of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad,
Becoming academic.. but most Christians, especially from Southern Africa, also reject or disbelieve the teachings of the Prophet and that the Koran is a pile of nonsense…
Ray Joseph Cormier on March 30, 2017 · at 5:38 pm EST/EDT
"the kafir is characterized by his worldliness."
Maybe the Quran, which I read as a rewording of the Jewish Tanach and New Testament scriptures, took kafir from this in the Revelation of Jesus Christ?
These things say the Amen, the Faithful and True witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God;
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and don't know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
There is no more sitting on the fence or silent majority. It's TIME to choose which side your on.

WizOz on February 14, 2017 · at 1:30 pm EST/EDT
Actually the offense is the disbelief in the teaching of Muhammad.
Jews believe in One God, but not in the teaching of Muhammad and they are kafirs.
Christians are the worse kafirs:
"Surely, disbelievers are those who say, "Allah is the Masīh, son of Maryam" while the Masīh had said, "O children of Isrā'īl , worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." In fact, whoever ascribes any partner to Allah, Allah has prohibited for him the Jannah (the Paradise), and his shelter is the Fire, and there will be no supporters for the unjust.
(al-Ma'idah: 72) (in the translation of Yusuf Ali: In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every – one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things.
"Surely, disbelievers are those who say, "Allah is the third of the three" while there is no god but One God. If they do not desist from what they say, a painful punishment shall certainly befall such disbelievers.
(al-Ma'idah: 73)
"The word kafir can also be used to imply a rejection of Islam. It describes one who knows the truth, but rejects it out of pride or vanity. This is someone who knows the truth in their heart and deliberately rejects it".@https://www.whyislam.org/faqs/islam-and-other-faiths/why-does-the-quran-refer-to-jews-and-christians-as-kufar-or-infidels-what-kind-of-respect-and-tolerance-is-that/

This is the kind of comment that one would predictably expect, on cue, from the kind of Liar that would claim that the KKK represent "Christianity".
I remain grateful to God for exposing bigots wherever they may try to reside through their own stupidity.
Winston Churchill"s comments in 1900s-1920s directly relating to the above article on Western (Anglo-Saxon-zionists) roots of Middle East Terrorism are most relevant I believe..
– Saudi Arabia and their kings, princes etc "They are barbaric, cruel but most importantly they are LOYAL to us…."
– Suez Canal and the Ottoman Empire "We must protect Suez at all costs"… includes the disastrous English-French-Israeli intervention in 1956..(Anthony Eden versus Dwight Eisenhower)
– Iran-Persian oil and other fields in the ME 1900s …"A fairyland of riches are to be had…."
– Machine gunning and gassing of Iraqi civilians (terrorists-insurgents…) in the 1920s…
"Why are you all so sqeamish (upset) about this!!!", referring to the disgusted and horrified reactions of certain English politicians to the use of mustard gas.1920s.
As Winston Churchill was one of the most influential British Empire builders and retainers before WW2, his policies and thoughts explain it all.
.History repeats itself. again and again..Since the 1920s the Anglo-Zionists support of "terrorism"
has just multiplied itself many times over …Divide and rule – is the name of the game!!

It's not simply Terrorism. It is Nation 'culling'. A scientific, industrial, multi-layered approach to drain all resources from a given place.
– Gold, oil, arable lands. etc. sold to cartel companies …
– Academics, doctors brought to Europe and the US for cheap labor …
– Young men sold into work slavery, mercenary armies, death squads, Nazi-battalions …
– Women sold into work slavery, Mengele breeding programs, prostitution rings …
– Children used for organ harvesting, vaccines testing, pedophilia …

Overlooked is the leading role of the terrorist artificial rogue state created on stolen Palestinian land and their pioneering work in terrorism.
Also, all western intervention at Israel's behest is a form of state terrorism.

US Generals Are Terrified Russia May End Their Afghanistan Gravy Train War
Hostile words from the Pentagon as Moscow hosts a regional powers conference on Afghanistan
Marko Marjanović
Here is a fact: you don't keep at something for fifteen years if you don't think it is to your benefit.
For fifteen years now US generals have been proving they do not know how to "win" the war in Afghanistan, and yet rather than cut their losses they want to keep at it. Why?
Well at this point they want to keep it because it's good business for the generals, the military and war contractors. Everybody wins! Except the Afghan "bugsplat" of course.
But what if somebody threatens your hustle? Specifically what if Russia (which already terminated your Syria hustle) starts organizing peace conferences?? Now that is cause for alarm!
Recently Russia has established some communication channels with the Taleban. This has sent Americans into a tailspin albeit it is no more than what they themselves had been trying to accomplish for years.
What is worse, Moscow is now gathering regional powers to talk Afghanistan resolution. And if the preliminary meeting last December which brought together Russia, Pakistan and China could be derided as "an Afghanistan conference without Afghanistan" the next one to be held tomorrow is bringing together Russia, China, India, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan — in short everyone but the US.

The Russian peace-mongers are getting everywhere. If it is not Syria, it is Turkey-Cyprus, and Libya, and banging Iraeli-Palestinian heads together, Armenia-Azerbaijan, Ukraine-Donbass and now Afghanistan. What bizarre kind of world would it be if we let these peace-mongers have their way?
twilight on February 14, 2017 · at 5:59 pm EST/EDT
Until Tony Blair, there was no significant 'islamic terrorism'. And why? Because every flavour of ruler in nations of islamic heritage, and every major islamic religious figurehead was utterly against such forms of activity.
Remember when Tony Blair faked 'evidence' against Iraq and invaded, leading directly to the murder of two million souls? At first, even as Blair butchered them by the tens of thousands with every high tech weapon in NATO's arsenal, there was no 'terror' action against the invaders. No suicide bombers. No 'beheadings'.
But then it began. Videos of masked hulky men- clearly special forces from Britian, Canada, the USA, Australia, etc- dressed as pantomine 'muslims'- cutting the heads off hostages. And the 'suicide' checkpoint bobmbings began at the same time- which we now know were actually special forces planting bombs in the cares of unsuspecting dupes, and detonating the explosives as the reached the target location.
Why were the initial waves of 'terror' attacks all actually atrocities carried out by Blair's own forces? Because this activity was designed to ***groom*** the general population of Iraq- make them think such forms of violence an expected response to the invasion, so Iraqi traitors actually in the employ of the West could start putting together ***real*** terror cells.
Terrorism is never the first (or even second or third) instinct of any group of people fighting superior forces. You see such people, by circumstances, are the ***good guys***, and good guys are the last types to resort to what everyone considers obscene. But with the right type of desperation, and the whispers of evil manipulators, things can easily change.
Today ISIS atrocity videos never feature hulky special forces body types, masked or not. The 'real' thing proves even more clearly just how fake the original beheading videos from Iraq were- fake in the sense that the killers were soldiers in the direct employ of the West not fake in the sense that no-one was murdered. But the strategy to spead terror and terror tactics throughout an invaded land is actually taught at all the military academies in NATO nations. You murder the brightest and best in the lands you exterminate. You recruit legions of traitors, using generational rewards to their wider families in the Empire homelands. You turn the resistance into brutal midless terrorists. The Ancient Romans perfected this method, and took down the Germanic and Gaul people this way.
The British Empire, as I'm sure lots of you know, considered itself a successor to the Roman Empire. The nazis, despite being on paper a 'germanic' movement, also modelled themselves to a degree of the romans. And the Romans were so ruthless. Genocide was their go-to tactic when the enemy was just too numerous, as with the gauls and german tribes. After all, the Romans argued, after genocide the defeated people breed like crazy, but the new generations can be conditioned from birth to be far more servile to the Empire.
Iran is the ***last*** major bulwark against the wahhabi terror tactic. Terrorism cannot take down Iran- and indeed terror in Syria has helped Iran and its allies from Lebanon become even stronger. But terror (fake terror and real) means something very useful in the minds of the sheeple of the West. Anti-islamic feeling has never been higher. Ordinary people across the West hate the never ending waves of muslim immigrants flooding in under ever possible excuse, and see all of them as potential parts of terror infrastructure. That the mass migration is synthetic created by demonic wars against secular islamic nations is understood by most sheeple- but irrelevent in the sense that regardless of actually reason, the problem still exists and grows daily.
And the highest thought is this. If the demons have never been held accountable for the insanely blatant false-flag of 9/11, or the completely unjustified invasion of Iraq, what chance is there of the demons being held accountable for creating the terrorism in the Middle East. Zero.
Thank you for such a logical insight on terrorism. Especially how it all started in Iraq. One wonders why it is never mentioned in the media. I will definitely look forward to your analysis about 911. Obviously the Islamic thugs were inappropriately tagged as the executioners of 911.

It's an unfortunate reality that most of society are victims to a slow-moving, carnage-filled hostage situation. We are hostage to the machinations of sycophants who live in a zero sum game of power politics. People want to rule the world and get rich in the process, and so are willing to justify any means to that end – including manufacturing terrorism to create political will and context for military aggression or destabilizing actions (color revolutions, assassinations, arbitrary sanctions, blockades, funding of despots who can be bought and controlled, brownstone operations of sexual blackmail to maintain control over politicians and corporations and governments, forced asset seizure ala brownstone operations and false planting of evidence, the list literally goes on and on). At this point it might better to hope for someone to win so that, eventually, in time, one ruler can just torture us outright instead of twenty countries all doing the same in the shadows.

Hello Amir,
I'm afraid your analysis is starting too late and missing initial phases. You need to check out the role of Max von Oppenheim (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Oppenheim) who worked the middle east trying to incite a jihad against the british during WW I. Read this: http://www.trafoberlin.de/pdf-dateien/2014_06/kas_5678-544-1-30.pdf (german main text but with long english summary)
Teri Rose Eddy on March 11, 2017 · at 9:19 pm EST/EDT
For me, what is interesting is that the truest definition of terrorism is that a group knowingly commits atrocities with the full understanding that anything they do will not accomplish anything good for any country or for any people, especially their people and their country.
Amir NOUR on March 12, 2017 · at 4:41 am EST/EDT
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read and react.
Second, when I wrote my article I knew – and I still do – no analysis on the topic could be exhaustive and right on every single point. My main purpose was – and stil is – to contribute to a much needed broad public debate. It is explained in the notice I wrote to launch my article which reads as follows:
" Important notice to all peace-loving, and truth-seeking people around the world !
It is my great pleasure to present my contribution to the debate on the main roots of this global plague of « transnational terrorism ».
I would like, at the outset, to clarify that the main goal through the publication of this modest attempt, is to participate, with other goodwilling and faithful people elsewhere in the world, in the honorable effort of raising public awareness on the serious threats that are increasingly jeopardizing peace, security, solidarity, development and, above all, the future of the "Living Together" or « Community Life » of the human race.
The other goal, no less important than the first, is to express a personal point of view on the stereotyped,
biased and often deliberately truncated picture of Islam and Muslims, conveyed by a certain
school of thought and the selfish interests which feed it and support it, by all means possible.
Needless to add that this personal view is shared by hundreds of millions of peaceful Muslims and non Muslims alike, aspiring to live, together with their children, a decent and worthy life, in full respect of their particular common beliefs, and their diverse cultures and customs. And, just as legitimately as for all other peoples, Muslim communities are active and positive stakeholders in the exhilarating adventure of universal progress.
For sure, however, under the sublime banner of Islam, the real one, the very one which has contributed – significantly and in a manner inscribed in letters of gold to the History as well as to the progress of Humanity, there can never be a place for those who glorify terrorism, practice the massacre of innocent people – wherever they may be and whatever culture they belong to – and cause destruction, desolation and despair in the creative genius of Man.
May my modest "brick" contribute to the construction of a beautiful monument dedicated to peace among peoples. Amen ! ".

Since the beginning of the 19th century, the Western powers have made the choice of annexing territories and cornerinf of the wealth. This policy became a longstanding strategy and theories have emerged to regulate the new relations of colonial and postcolonial domination. This aggressive stance continues to be deployed by the West, in search of new gains. Politicians and secutity experts does not shrink from anything to achieve these goals though the price is.
New theories emerged since and Professor Nour rightly reminds us that the tools of cooperation have gradually been transformed into instruments of interference and fomentation of disturbances against the National Governments which aspire to develop their countries and move forward to build a strong economy.
Coup were organized, disorders were caused to bring down patriotic regimes and paramilitary groups were created to sow trouble in the country. Today, new forms of pressure have emerged and the encouragement of the ideology of violence and extremism is part of it. Transnational terrorism, which has hit much of the world, has been partly instrumentalized, structured and financed to serve hidden strategies. Bold measures could have contained this phenomenon and dismantled its networks, but other policies have prevailed to allow terrorism to expand and become a threat to the peace and security of all nations.
I agree with Professor Nour that the West must reconsider its strategic objectives and engage in a partnership for peace and development for all. We need to build a strong collective security and work toghether to achieve sustainable development.


As part of our NewViews Feature Showcase on EFT (electronic funds transfer), we wanted to provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions on NewViews and EFT.
What is the best way to record a payment transaction made by EFT?
Can NewViews do it for me?
Answer: When you use the Tools > Pay Account command to pay vendors, it will automatically check to see if any vendors have their EFT Status set to active. Note that when you set a vendor's status to active, you have to include the following EFT payment information: Bank ID (Canada only), Bank Transit, Bank Account and Transaction Code (USA only).
For vendors with active EFT Status, The Tools > Pay Account command adds the payment transactions to an EFT payments journal. Once these payment transactions have been added to the journal, they are used to generate an EFT file that is uploaded to your bank. To watch a short video that explains all these steps in detail, click here.
After I have recorded the EFT transaction in NewViews, how can I alert vendors that I have sent them payment through EFT?
Answer: After issuing a payment you can print or send an EFT payment notification by email directly from NewViews. To do this all you need to do is select the items you want to send an advisory for, and issue the command Print > AP Checks. From here, you can select an EFT payment advisory template, and set the Destination to email. You can also save these settings so that you can easily switch between printing checks, and emailing or printing EFT payment advisories.
I've created the EFT file – how can I find it so I can upload it to my bank?
Answer: The name and location (path) of the EFT file created by NewViews for uploading to your bank is entered in the EFT Canada Info or EFT USA Info settings of the bank account. We strongly recommend that you overwrite this file each time you create an EFT file to ensure that you don't upload the same file more than once.
Answer: There is NO additional cost! EFT functionality is built into NewViews, so the only additional charges are any your bank may impose.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" isn't a Disney movie, but that's what makes this great
by Jordan Poblete
in Marvel · Other Disney
— 8 Dec, 2016
Just a few minutes ago, we got the first glimpse of the highly anticipated Spider-Man reboot film. Watch it above – we won't spoil it for you.
While "Spider-Man: Homecoming" isn't a Disney-branded film, it was the workings of a deal between Disney/Marvel and Sony Pictures. The results of that deal were Spider-Man, this time played by Tom Holland, being featured in Disney/Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" and now Sony Pictures' rebooted film called "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
From the footage we saw, we agree that we feel that it very much feels like it was made by the Marvel think tank at Disney. And while that's partially true with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige producing the film for Sony, the merit should go toward Sony for allowing people like Feige who are on Disney's payroll to tell a solid Marvel comic book story.
The film, also starring Disney Channel alum Zendaya, will swing into theaters on July 7, 2017.

Oldham Athletic needs Banide to achieve these 2 vital things this season, agree?
Posted on September 11, 2019 by Jordan Dignan	Leave a comment
Despite excitement upon his appointment, Oldham Athletic's new manager hasn't had the easiest start to the EFL League Two season…
Oldham Athletic have only won one League One game so far this season. As they sit in 22nd on five points from seven games, projections of taking the club back to League One have certainly been reconsidered.
Perhaps the job at hand will take a fair few seasons to complete, as Oldham have suffered from having many managers over a short space of time. Making it more difficult to instil philosophies and playing styles from the off for Laurent Banide.
Taking a more pragmatic approach to where Oldham should be, come to the end of the season, here are two things Banide must achieve. Aside from keeping his job, of course.
Staying afloat
Banide must avoid relegation. In fact, by early 2020 the French manager must look like surviving relegation, or his job could be jeopardy, meaning Oldham have to reboot once again.
Avoiding relegation should be the top priority this season. Oldham does not need to win every game to show signs of improvement…
Banide's philosophies
The squad merely need to prove that they are adhering to what Banide wants from this team. By demonstrating a style of the play, a bit of fight and resilience amongst some individual greatness, it would show that Oldham is actually moving in the right direction for the first time in a long time.
Banide should focus on getting his players to play the way he wants them to. By surviving relegation, Banide can have a go at League Two next season with a more clued up squad.
The situation is somewhat similar to Man Utd with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Having a mismatched squad from several managers who have been subjected to several styles of play can result in a very difficult job for the poor manager who is brought in to sort it all out.

Russian Bombers Fly 50 Miles off California. F-22s and F-15s intercept them.
June 12, 2014 David Cenciotti Military Aviation, Russia, Troubled Areas 48
Four Russian Air Force Tu-95 Bear were intercepted by F-22s near Alaska. Two of the strategic bombers came within 50 miles from California Coast.
As we reported few days ago, a U.S. Air Force RC-135U performing a routine surveillance mission in international airspace over the Sea of Okhotsk, north of Japan, some 60 miles off eastern Russia on Apr. 23, was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 Flanker.
Just in case you though only U.S. (spy)planes fly in the vicinity of the Russian airspace, the Washington Free Beacon unveiled that U.S. fighter planes were scrambled to intercept four Tu-95 Bear H bombers, two of those came within 50 miles of California coast.
Two USAF F-22 Raptor stealth jets, most probably from 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson intercepted the "intruders", that were seemingly conducting a training attack run, over the Aleutians.
Then, two of the four Tu-95s headed back home, whereas the remaining two flew off Northern California, triggering another alert scramble by NORAD (North America Aerospace Defense Command) that dispatched two F-15s to intercept and shadow the Russians.
According to the defense officials who talked to the Free Beacon, the bombers were supported on their (typical) long range mission by two IL-78 tankers .
Even if such close encounters are quite normal across the world, we can't but notice that they have become at least more frequent in the last couple of years.
For sure Russia's annexation of Crimea and growing tension between Washington and Moscow have given headlines like "Tu-95s flying close to Guam", "Su-27s performing reckless interception of U.S. spyplanes", "B-52s and B-2s temporarily deployed to the UK" and so on, a completely new meaning.

Another gem that I found while I was in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was the hat atelier of Gallia e Peter. It is the most famous millinery in Milan. The things that attracted my attention to this particular shop was the colour and the form. I learned from their website that Gallia e Peter collaborates with fashion houses for their fashion shows. I highly recommend that you have a look at their website for amazing images of the creations they have made for different fashion houses.
I wonder if certain people order their hats from Gallia e Peter for the Royal Ascot. And if they do not…they should. These people are the masters of their art and do not lack ideas nor ability to create the most fantastic headpieces. You can see the beautiful and unique creative minds at work in the bridal section of their website. I will definitely keep this Atelier in mind if I want a unique headpiece for a special occasion.
The shop had in display a set of walking canes and tongues for the stylish male customer.

In this new book, leading author and modeller Brett Green focuses upon the aircraft and activities of the Luftwaffe on the Eastern Front. With plentiful mono wartime photographs of featured aircraft, fighters and bombers alongside vivid colour photos of model construction, keen aviation modellers are provided with all the inspiration and information required to produce authentic recreations of these important aircraft.
Colour profile artworks are augmented by 'flat art' and schematic views of upper and lower surfaces as well as —scrap' detail views. With a concise overview of each aircraft—s operational history (where known) and a history of its units, the reader is given a visual step-by-step guide to building that particular aircraft. With top tips and hints from award-winning modellers, this volume includes guides to variant conversion and markings, as well as the best methods of weathering to ensure authenticity.
Other topics covered include a description of appropriate tools and equipment required, boxes on key aces and pilots, kit availability and a useful summary of after-market products and associated products such as resin and etched brass conversion kits, decal sheets, paints etc. Along with a short history of each campaign to provide context, the author also includes a list of key reference sources for further information. Perfect for all those interested to learn more about the aircraft of the Luftwaffe during this period, this book will also be an invaluable tool for those modelling these amazing aircraft.

1997 DES Case: Wood v. Eli Lilly & Company
"The original complaint in this case was filed in the Broward County, Florida, Circuit Court on March 1, 1988, Case No. 88-5578-CS. The named plaintiffs were Bettie W. Wood, Susan Wood and Jonathan H. Wood, Jr. Bettie W. Wood died in 1991, and her estate was substituted as a party plaintiff.
Defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The gravamen of the complaint is that the plaintiffs were exposed to the drug diethylstilbestrol ("DES") in utero because their mother ingested DES during her pregnancies with the three plaintiffs, and that each subsequently suffered illnesses allegedly related to DES.
WOOD v. ELI LILLY & CO., Leagle, 1997480106F3d374_1412, February 26, 1997.
By order dated September 19, 1989, the district court dismissed the action because of the inability of the plaintiffs to identify the manufacturer, or manufacturers, of the DES ingested by their mother.
The plaintiffs appealed to this court, and while the appeal was pending, the Florida Supreme Court rendered its opinion in Conley v. Boyle Drug Co., which held that a market share theory of liability could be used in DES cases to apportion liability. This theory permits a plaintiff to bring an action in such cases without requiring the plaintiff to allege or prove that a particular defendant produced or marketed the precise DES taken by (in that case) the plaintiff's mother.
In an unpublished opinion, on May 3, 1991, this court vacated the order of the district court and remanded for reconsideration in light of Conley." …
