Put not you trust in men. The veneer of civilization can disappear at any moment Quoting: Swinburnian Hi Swin, I hope you are well. I realy hope you are well :-). I think, things have to be said. Once things have a name and a sentance, they are said. Then everybody can think for themselves. I never put trust into men. This earth is completley crazy. There is no truth, nothing, it is just a hell. People who tell the truth here, are killed. That was always like that, and with the people here it will be always like that. The choice, people have to do on this earth, they don't even care, they don't make a choice, most do not even care. If you have anything good to say, which I do not see, share it please. If not, don't answer to this. |

Gerry52 User ID: 5789790 United States 01/07/2013 12:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fleet of Russian warships reportedly en route to Syria to head off a Western attack. Flotilla of five Russian warships laden with hundreds of troops, which is headed toward Syria, is a show of force meant to deter Western armies from intervening in the war-torn nation, the London-based Sunday Times reported. Previous reports cited Russian diplomats to the effect that the vessels were being put in place in order to evacuate thousands of Russians who still remain in Syria if the situation in the country called for it. However, a Russian intelligence source was quoted on Sunday as saying that the presence of over 300 marines on the ships was meant as a deterrent to keep countries hostile to the Bashar Assad regime — a key ally of the Kremlin — from landing special forces in the country. “Russia should be prepared for any developments, as it believes the situation in Syria might reach its peak before Easter,” a Russian diplomatic source was quoted as saying.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31243632 United States 01/07/2013 08:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iran Targets Dissidents With 30,000-Strong Spy Army ...the Ministry of Intelligence and Security, or MOIS. According to a new report by the Federal Research Division at the Library of Congress, the spy agency counts as “the most powerful and well-supported ministry among all Iranian ministries” in terms of finances and support. The report, first obtained by Bill Gertz at The Washington Free Beacon, describes a 30,000 strong army of spies — the largest intelligence agency in the Middle East — responsible for assassinating political opponents, espionage, and, above all, crushing potential rivals to Tehran’s ruling elite. But first note that the MOIS is distinct from the Quds Force, the combination special forces and CIA-styled intelligence wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. According to the report, the MOIS is mainly a domestic agency directed at infiltrating regime opponents inside Iran — as well as dissident groups organized by Iranian expatriates around the world. It’s currently headed by cleric Heydar Moslehi, who the U.S. government has sanctioned for being allegedly responsible for “beatings, mental abuse, and sexual abuse” carried out against Iranian political prisoners....

To even use it as blackmail, they would have to admit to having one. And to admit having one would mean to test one. I think they will deny ever having one to keep the world guessing and preventing any action by the west. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31243632 United States 01/08/2013 08:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is Venezuela providing operational support to Islamic terrorists? That deadly serious question is increasingly troubling foreign policy and security experts as the South American country and Iran — which funds Hezbollah — move ever closer. Despite deep cultural differences, a shared antagonism toward the US has drawn Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, into an unlikely political friendship in recent years... Meanwhile, according to the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, a Washington, DC, nonprofit research group, there’s growing evidence that Hezbollah is infiltrating other parts of Latin America, taking advantage of widespread corruption and drug trafficking to raise funds for its activities in the Middle East...

Otherwise, Hamas is re-building, Hezbollah are on lock-down until Iran issues a go order. Iran is still doing what it does best behind the scnees along with North Korea. Israel sits on its hands until this summer. 10.9 with Syria, 9.0 if Syria could be trusted to not launch wmd's or the terrorists doing so. Israel is waiting to get through the elections, however, if Bibi is worried about the polls, he could always promote some brillinat military move to help himself in the polls like what is talked about in Maerica, the tail that wags the dog or October surprise. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 31826065 United States 01/09/2013 11:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 'Concern over possible uranium stockpile in Syria' 'Financial Times' reports that up to 50 tons of enriched uranium may be in Syria, a stockpile large enough for five atomic bombs. [link to www.jpost.com] And another thorn in the issue of how to know when Iran has actually built a bomb or acquired the uranium necessary for a bomb. Makes sense that Syria gives Iran its 20% grade unranium while Iran converts some of hers to keep intelligence agencies thinking that Iran is actually losing its supply and so Iran's nuclear clock moves forward, but the World bodies moves that nuclear clock back. Brilliant! Add into that mix, North Korea and the fact she transported the 50 tons of uranium to Syria in the first place without detection and could likewise do the same with Iran. |
