August 11th 2011 Pastor Terry Jones

Lacking numbers of members and supporters it was decided by the few attending to view a shorter presentation prepared by the club's secretary.

The Social Dynamic screening intended for August to be shown later.

An address recorded on the steps of Michigan's Dearborn Council building with Pastor Terry Jones was the substitute video presentation with other related audio/visuals.

Pastor T. Jones, text following from a cassette recording. Since the original sound track recorded from the loud speakers the cassette reproduction slightly degraded --

Essential context provided:-

1. "Fight with what you don't agree with" this in reference to free speech and a right granted by the 1st amendment U.S. Constitution.

2. Pastor Jones is addressing a significant crowd of Muslims gathered across the street to protest at the appearance of Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones insisted that it's not for them to dictate values but to provide "information" for discernment.

3. Apparently Pastor Jones gave CNN broadcasters an interview which has not been put to air, he asserts that this is a denial of free speech and an act of media et al. censoring, he wants this interview put to air for " ... the people to decide".

4. The pastor then virtually condemns the crowd of protesters across the street from the Town Hall steps where Dr. Jones was addressing a gathering of interested spectators - as hypocrites for claiming (as here) that their religion is a " religion of peace" -- admittedly what he was confronting was rowdy group of protestors.

5. What prompted him at this point to ask the gathered to petition gov. for a redress of grievances is unclear [Edit. D. Brooke (sec.) ... something happened on the other side of the street.]

6. The pastor having criticised Islam for unruly conduct and he reminds those present of the right to freedom to keep and bear arms, the means whereby to maintain security of the State.

7. Addressing the ethnic mix before him, he warns (warning No. 1) illegal immigrants to address there illegal status [Edit. presumably no standing under 1st amendment regarding 6. above].

8. His remarks are then directed to Islamists to compare toleration of religion as practiced in America to intolerance practiced throughout the Muslim world. Pastor Jones infers Allah is not a god (mean. Does not exist?) but they can worship Allah in Mosques built with Saudi Arabia money.

9. They (Islamist s) must uphold the constitution of the U.S. by honour and obeying. (Warning No. 2.) " ... not to mess with America".

10. The generosity of "... the red, white and blue" undoubtedly alluding to foreign aid and two reminders: (i) Muslim nations don't contribute, and (ii) So don't think Sharia will be introduced in America.

11. Pastor Jones closed with a harangue [Edit. Preconception shared by those at the club presentation, the office of President is revered by citizens, now challenged since the viewing]. According to what we heard from the pastor it was going to be full-on "Stop Obama"; apart from a personal attack on B.Obama, there was(sic) his statement attributed to Pres. Obama in Egypt; "Islam has always been part of the American story". Definitely Not! According to the good pastor who reiterated the afore quote.

The meeting then viewed a commentary video by David Wood - Mr. Wood appears to host or maintain a website called, 'answeringmuslims.com'.

This video was divided into three parts:-

Part 1. (Introduction by David Wood) -- Edit. was this the CNN interviewer? -- debated Pastor Jones a year earlier on the subject of the burning of Koran, he (Mr. Wood) says "a low form of criticism".

He refers to the "murder veto" the "homicidal maniacs veto" means to an end i.e., to silence criticism.

He then said there is a third way criticism can be stifled, by abuse of rules and misuse of authority. From this (Mr. Wood) led us to Part 2.

We are challenged to find inconsistency in the footage to follow: The hecklers and others gathered constituting the standing audience, caught on camera with accompanying noise being generated, drown-out what was coming from the loud speakers on the municipal steps.

Part 3. (Mr. Wood) and the "inconsistency" from the footage. The claim is that both Pastor Jones and the Islamist s are guilty of incitement but maybe from different perspectives -- Edit. the case for or against this sophism not to be dealt with herein. The clip closes with a puppet show where one represents pastor Jones the other a Muslim cleric with puppet Jones reading selected ayats(?) the cleric annoyed and attempting to gesticulate -- Punch and Judy without rolling pin.

This presentation ended with a video clip of journalists confronting (or being confronted) by John B. O'Rielly the Mayor of Dearborn.

Pastor Jones back on the steps of the Dearborn Town Hall. He briefly criticises B. Obama again in relation to the "story" remark the president made (see above). He quotes from words of Thomas Jefferson that the people (erstwhile electors) have two enemies, they are government and criminals, he goes on to say "These enemies are your enemies" he repeats these words, "These enemies are my enemies".

He then demands of the president that the constitution of U.S. be changed to stop Sharia from becoming the law within the host nation. The Koran does not recognise human and civil rights, a book written he says 1400 years earlier. During that 1400 yrs. Islam has killed "thousand and million people".

Further to this Coptic Christians who hadn't "burned the Koran", hadn't interfered with nor "criticised Islam" a year or two earlier were massacred when leaving "Church". Now America is confronted with threat because of Sharia, the Koran and radical Muslims.

Next can be divided into three parts, the pastor then has a message for Western leaders to:

(i) To "develop a back-bone" and insist the Muslim nations adapt human rights, civil liberties, freedom of speech, and religion.

(ii) Minorities henceforth not to be killed and massacred in Islamic countries.

(iii) Islamic countries to be brought out of the middle ages and become civilised.


More quoting Thomas Jefferson, "... I propose (as between competing choices) ... as we go forward (edit. as a people with mutual interests) we can be killed but NOT stopped".

Also, quotes the pastor from T. Jefferson, "I propose dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery".

Pastor Jones moves away from the microphone and pastor Wayne Sapp takes over the address.

Hereafter abbreviation of what he had to say. A rhetorical question from pastor Sapp "What does America(sic) want", he asks for introspection of the people, he doesn't like what America has become. He thanks the gathered -- Edit. all the gathered?!?! -- for attending, he refers to the Bible, "It's the sick that need a doctor not the well".

That God brought them there so "The truth will set them free". I believe the pastor here infers, T. Jefferson lives on by what he said two hundred years back in time. And the question of government fearing its citizens, or if its citizens are more fearful of government(?) But further to this he infers a government of Islamic ideologists would bring "tyranny to victory" he reiterates "... tyranny has found victory".

Apparently due to Islamic presence in Dearborn its Council functions on principles of Sharia. It seems from what the pastor says, laws are in place to persecute non-believers and promote Islamic beliefs.

Comprehension from looking and listening to pastor Sapp in the comfort afforded by RSL Burwood, towards the end of his "serve", he and others were gaoled a week or so earlier.

With-out police charge, truly consistant with claims made by fearful non-Muslim residence, inviting the pastors to come and speak in this Michigan city.

Pastor Sapp concludes -- understood to be his 2nd speech at Dearborn Town Hall -- with encouragement, the good and improved folk should take action, reversing Islamic tyranny at least in Dearborn.

July 14th 2011 The death of the dollar, Rigged markets and Private financing or public swindle

Meeting open by the secretary Mr. D. Brooke who put to members and support what was available to be aired:

• International Financial and economic aspects,


• Air Safety and,


• a video of Dr. Terry Jones at Dearborn Michigan (a public address).
  
  

As before topics intended for large screen overhead projection. The secretary elaborated on the first mentioned and shown in the Title (above) that numerous commentators would be questioned.

He said what we see can be compared with Australia. It was agreed to view the three as shown in the Title.

The two other proposed (Air Safety and Dr. T. Jones) were to be seen (and heard) at subsequent meetings.

People Power -- Part 1. Death of the Dollar
Introduced by Samah El-Shahat

1. Fall of the $US value 90% since 2003;
2. $US depreciates against European currencies;
3. OPEC wants Euros for its oil;
4. Q: How long will the US$ stand as an International Reserve currency(?)

Max Keiser (video production presenter), Paul Craig Roberts, Dr. Gerald Lyons and James Turk; all apparently recognised as creditable economists.

Following in Part 1. responses from the named to what is paraphrased, the intention is not to attribute any particular observation to any of the mentioned, only hoping that what's put down is true to intended meanings of the participants.

M. Keiser promotes notions on the "Death of the Dollar" the others seen and heard present supplementary elaboration. As a lead in a hospital scene, with MK asking staff where is the "sick dollar" -- ha, ha! Then the bilingual MK interviews a taxi driver in a taxi, presumed somewhere in the Third World what he thinks of the $US, the driver's answer was not gracious.
Then followed the "nitty gritty" provided by the protagonists;

(1) Trade deficits are caused by corporations going off-shore (either to import and/or manufacture), so what comes back is lost GDP to the nation importing and improved GDP of exporters.

(2) Coincidentally since 9/11 Americans have experienced a consumption craze, with government favouring consumers over savers.

(3) Foreign debt caused by billions of dollars -- " Two billion borrowed daily" -- being raise by US from foreigners; now this is not good for US labour (comment attributed to Dr. G. Lyons). Paul C. Roberts said "America living beyond its means".

(4) A continuation of this practice of borrowing can lead to loss of assets with loan default. Late in the presentation a Hans Reiker (also seen later) from nowhere, suggested the Feds. wanted to keep the (consumption) "party going" hoping austerity eventually would cause lenders to "flee".

(5) MK with the devaluation of the $US prices rise.

(6) Paul C. Roberts comments on the effect of cutting the value of the $US, this apparently causes a. Prices to rise AND b. By example he shows another effect: Vehicles brought from China become cheaper as a result this would distress the Chinese economy.

Part 2 -- Death of the Dollar

MK moves interest to the Middle East and potential for recession ... America. We were told due to the Vietnam War and its cost America moved off the gold standard in 1971 -- see (herein) later R. Turk explained this wasn't the first time.

There's ever increasing demand from China for Middle East oil, consequently its price has risen, whilst China was funding America's great amount of debt i.e., the $US losing its reserve currency standard. With the war in Iraq more petro. dollars -- presumed $US -- flooding into the Gulf region. From Hans Rediker again, flooding the Gulf with $US is causing inflation.

A question from MK, J. Turk's reply that Iraq revalued its currency as a result of the weak $US and inflation means imports cost less. Further J. Turk said that in future the oil producers are likely to accept a "basket of currencies".

Paul C. Roberts said Kuwait -- in keeping with the forgoing -- has reduced its holding of $US from 90% to 40% and has embarked on a policy of "diversification" of assets. MK by examples shows what happens between respective wealth funds:

If the Sovereign Wealth Fund U.S. is reduced this will advantage Sovereign Wealth Funds in oil producing regions. Once again J. Turk on the $US, when in the past the dollar assigned to what he termed "fiat grave yard" during the American War of Independence i.e. the "Continental" was created -- ref. Vietnam earlier -- and it was not backed by gold.

Paul C. Roberts claimed the U.S. has "blown it" with erosion of its standing in the World. MK and the World is shopping for a new reserve currency. Paul C. Roberts then compares what's happening "they did it to themselves" analogy with the demise of ancient Rome. S. El-Shahat closes this Al Jezeera program.

People Power -- Part 1. The Markets are Rigged

Samah El-Shahat opens the subject of the program with:

Pooled money of investors end-up in either Hedge Funds (intended for sophisticated investors -- unregulated) OR Mutual Funds (supposedly regulated to protect "small" investors).

Free markets are supposed to be fare in that nobody is to get advantage. But not so according to MK who questions whether markets are indeed rigged(?) His claim is the jargon of the markets, terms such as;

"cheque/check counting",

"bear rating",

"front running",

"back dating",

"wood pack trading",

"pump and dumping",

"wash sales",

"blank cheque/check IPOs",

"parking stock",

"painting the tape",

"market timing",

"plate trading",

"shearing",

"spring loading",

"bullet dodging" and

"Naked Trading"(sic);

are terms and stratagem used to defraud investors.

MK cites Amsterdam 1602 as the first stock market, by 1610 market insiders and manipulators started to work ways to gain advantage over others. He goes on to say by early last century fraudsters were so adapt at their activities they cause the Great Depression 1928/29.

As a result in America the Security Exchange Commission came into existence. Now over half a century later GARY GEREFFI's letter to the U.S. Senate punctuates MK's narration -- G. Gereffi credited with being an S.E.C. insider -- of the letter's content:

America facing the same condition as earlier due to market manipulation. It's the unregulated Hedge Funds that have "network" (edit. mean collude) that avoids scrutiny from S.E.C. and N.Y. Stock Exchange this according to J. Turk.

Hedge Funds are gigantic with something like $2 trillion (at that time) under management. A Robert Kirby at this juncture said U.S. regulators cannot control Hedge Funds, they are leveraged and if the funds go into trouble so will banks.

If you comprehend the colloquial "snake eyes" as used by MK, inferring fund managers cannot lose regardless of the way the market moves -- which comprises 50% of all trades. Also Hedge Funds allow institutions to off-load risk onto others prepared to take risk through brokering, thereby "sweeping (edit. potential consequence) under the carpet".

MK believes regulators and fund representatives are in "cahoots" and daily trade volumes distort the markets -- "little guys get hurt". He goes on to explain how Naked Short Selling works and why it's allowed. RK then questions who are involved in Naked Short Selling and the need for regulation.

JT states that N.S.S. originated in the 19th century, apparently with counterfeit paper as the holding of share certificate is not mandatory and it continues to that day, and why is it so?!?! Part 1. closed by S. El-Shahat.

Part 2. -- The Markets are Rigged

S. El-Shahat : "Markets are neither free nor fair with governments 'with their finger in the pie'".

MK Our attention turned to Mutual Funds and what's termed Late Trading, again small investors can be hurt. With this introduction more of G. Gereffi's letter to the U.S. Senate was text to screen.

Following the message conveyed by the letter, MK at a horse racing track somewhere, tried unsuccessfully to place a bet on a horse race that is over (Edit. No Late Trading there ...)

It's not only bankers and brokers but C.E.O.s of companies that are advantaged by backdating stock options, apparently this MK says "distorts the market".

JT Backdating of a stock that appreciates produces a profit that's "lock in". MK the amount of money involved as at 1996 $7.9 billion, now (over 10yrs later) possibly $100 billion due to backdating manipulation.

JT (Ans. to Q.) Granting options at a lower price disadvantages other investors in a company, their shares are "diluted". A public interest release from the F.B.I. has stated that corporation executives should not profit this way.

MK goes on to compare Soviet style Command and Control Economy to America's Capitalist (Edit. Controlled Eco.) More narration and text to screen from the letter to the Senate. MK during the years since to 2006 many executives have done "runners" to other jurisdictions,

"Apple" computer were caught up in this backdating option scam. Wall St. Journal noted that insiders after 9/11 were backdating options to then when the market was at a low point. He mentions the creation within the F.B.I. of "Plunge Protection Team".

Appears Catherine Austin Fitts to elaborate on the "P.P.T.". JT After 1987 market crash "The President's Group On Financial Markets" came into existence to bring order, but according to JT not so, to the contrary.

MK and "Long Term Capital Management" an initiative of the Federal Government, a fund managed by the best minds with $1 trillion at their disposal. Bailed out debts of private investors under President Clinton's occupation, but said MK government intervention of the kind in recent past was known as fascism.

JT On company failure: failures due to government intervention, this not conducive to market practice. CAF On General Motors suggested the P.P.T.(sic) not doing its duty, because at the time G.M. was not proifit rich and in a position to lead a market rally. [NB. P.P.T. i.e. Plunge Protection Team; Edit. Wasn't it for tracing/stopping market absconders?] RK suggests with the P.P.T. intervening in (all) markets, he questions "is this not central planning?" JT compares America's command monetary system with U.S.S.R.s command bureaucratic system, thus intervention not positive for free markets.

CAF (Edit. Here is when it becomes more confusing) "... we are watching a market where players have inside information because they are trading on behalf of the P.P.T.(sic) and they own the Central Bank, you are looking at the funds that are members of the N.Y. Feds ..." She said they control the currency and their position allows the making of money (edit. personally) legally and illegally?!?!

RK markets are manipulated and are neither free nor fair. The text of the Senate letter to screen with narration; [Edit. Gist of context: how those at the top know their friends and punish enemies.]. MK because of market manipulation, the P.P.T. all very corrupt, entrepreneurs become disenchanted and what comes of this "austere"(?) capitalism.

CAF advises not to put money into large but small ethical companies, move from the U.S. markets to more ethical opportunities elsewhere. MK here as earlier he used a gaming term and sums up: "little guy all risk, big guy all skill". S. El-Shahah closes the program with questioning of whether markets are free and fair, and should Hedge Funds be regulated(?)

People Power -- Part 1. Private Finance Initiatives

S. El-Shahat : Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) started during the government of John Major, understood to introduce efficiency that gov. couldn't match when it came to building infrastructure, money raised in the private sector and contractors remitted by gov. (public sector payment) annually.

MK governments throughout the World find it difficult to generate funding for infrastructure. Warwick Lightfoot, PFI the means whereby private sector raises money for gov. infrastructure and in turn gov. rents back the asset built. Lady (anony.) and the Unity Charge -- gov. guarantees payment by way of dividend (re. borrowings) plus a service charge and this has been known to go for 30yrs.

MK has something to say about private-public sector "swindle". WL apparently the Brit. gov. is well positioned to borrow but cost involved means competition between the two sectors in the Gilt Market. The private sector wins-out by enforced efficiencies and accountability. Lady (anony.) briefly talks how PFIs were introduced and who benefits.

MK because of 800 works then in progress estimated at £170 billion he seeks information from the Brit. Gov. Acct. Comm. Richard Bacon (Conservative MP -- Public Acct. Comm.) likens PFI advocates with Faith, zealots found in differing careers who promote the PFI concept as an alignment of gov. with the private sector. As comprehended, enormity of the scale of jobs "extraction 'of feit'" results [Edit. Self perpetuating and beyond bureaucratic control?!?!].

Lady (anony.) considers how a contract for work derives and is costed. Costs can escalate she says 3,4, and 5 times, then affordability comes a concern and infrastructure and services suffer -- private capital distorts what can be delivered, whilst big money is made by all involved. MK the first PFI project the Sky Bridge (somewhere in Brit.) eventually bought back by gov. because public complained toll charge loaded.

He then mentioned "refinancing" in relation to PFI companies. Lady (anony.) explained how venture capital works, after time risk disappears and financing of infrastructure management services and maintenance i.e. refinancing usually at lower interest rates commences.

RB public sector loses out with refinancing because contracts drawn-up exclude mention. Purposely omitted, creates "secret honey pot" beneficial to private sector.

Lady (anony.) both public and private sector participants are concealed from view due to commercial in-confidence and law/regulation.

Part 2. Private Finance Initiatives.

S. El-Shahat defines infrastructure and states private investors in PFI schemes bear an expense "rent" on borrowed money, but are paid a fee by the gov. for service and risk.

MK PFIs "a stupid way" of financing 800 projects.

WL gov. restricted by rules and regulations causing difficulty to obtain funding but not so for private initiative. In the early days few projects, reduced risk with John Major's guide-lines, then the Gordon Brown era 1997. Lady (anony.) with G. Brown's gov. contrary to general public expectation new legislation and continuation of PFI.

WL the gov. told by bureaucrats for new infrastructure it would have to be the "PFI route". MK "Not a level playing field" (Edit. public sector cannot compete) and PM Brown's attitude was to let the market decide.

Lady (anony.) goes into the process whereby projects are allocated, bidding for work where there's more than one bidder maybe competitive but can delay implementation and extra cost incurred. Even with "preferred" entity bid 2 to 3 yrs. to sign-off. RB Failure of Supply: costs involved in the 10's of millions multiplied by the number of bids these costs passed on to others afterwards, " .. big profits for bankers and consultants"

MK seeks comment from Public Acct. bureaucrat responsible for contract procurement -- introducing Edward Lee/Lea.

EL PFIs increase public investment i.e. capital investment, however he goes on to say this must be matched by current expenditure, examples furbishing, services and maintenance. From left field Geoff Martin on UCA Hospital (elaboration on foregoing) of how the PFI debt repayment disallowed partial occupation, risk caused by market forces (speculation and profit).

Lady (anony.) and Turn-around IT's, professionals with a brief to introduce efficiencies and cut costs. GM again cited Tunbridge Wells Hospital, the management overly occupied with financiers and speculators to the tune of £3.5 million, deaths caused because of lack of staff numbers.

MK then wanted info. from the Ministry of Health, it was not forthcoming. He then turned to asking why private financing compared to gov. bonds was a better option, Ans. Risk transfer!

WL doubts that "risk" is entirely transferable. MK on G. Brown's PFI 2003 upgrade of London's underground rail, two contracts awarded one to Metronet that went "bust" within 4 yrs. of 30 yr. cessation.

WL more on risk transfer, apparently there are other examples (not mentioned by WL), when the tax payers and gov. provided the cost short-fall. MK £ 2 billion pay out to investors due to Metronet failure. WL huge increases both to gov. expenditure and use of PFIs, cost exposure not necessarily in tax payers interest, and as with the underground (and Metronet) the instrument for financing has not stood the test of time.

RB to get things done, indicating public sector failure, the consequence that comes with PFI is profit maximisation. He indicates in hindsight long term contracts -- 30-35 yrs. -- changes do occur. MK suggests to RB a schism exists when it comes to gov. financing (long term) whilst private financing (short term);

RB answers gov. sector work should be financed via gilt-bonds, he says "the cheapest way", and good management selection. Program closes with MK questioning public cf. with private financing and S. El-Shahat asking the audience/viewers for opinion.

June 9th 2011 'Boat People'

This was a video presentation from various sources relating to the topic of 'Boat People'



Clip graphic 1A.

Ethiopian and Somalis flee persecution, boat fee cost $50USD; escaping from violence and poverty has its risks, being drowned by accident or being pushed overboard.



Clip graphic 1B.

Malaysia showing maritime enforcement officers on patrol.

People smugglers involved with and controlled by International crime network.

There are 2 million immigrant workers in Malaysia of which 550 illegals got arrested.

Australia gave $1 million to combat the trade.

Detention Centers confine people, they are denied Civil Rights whilst detained. Arriving in Malaysia without U.N. papers in this circumstance invites gaol with (or without?) canning.

Law allows five years imprisonment.

Followed a scene where a canning is demonstrated.

Juxtaposed with the First Admiral of the Malaysian Navy answering questions put to him.



Clip graphic 2.

Notable was the comment of Step Vaessen presenter of this segment about Indonesia, Australia and people smugglers. Smugglers can earn themselves $10K per escapade.



Clip graphic 3.

An interview with Sarah Hanson-Young "It's Time to Talk", opposes the Labor Party's treatment of the processing of boat people -- Gillard government not treating boat as refugees she said, also Malaysia gets a serve for their treatment of refugees.

Apparently SH-Y mentioned 90,000 people in Malaysian detention. Malaysia sends people back to where they came from once determined.

The presenter questions Sarah Hanson-Young what should happen in Australia with illegals.

Her answer was to the effect genuine asylum seekers should be assessed quickly and allowed to stay.

Sarah Hanson-Young said detention is expensive, so wants 30 day maximum detention. She goes on to say the government hasn't an appropriate system of vetting people in place; in context people from non-threat countries, once identified, could be moved to the shorter express entry queue.

Sarah Hanson-Young disclaims economic (poverty?) causation for illegal entry.



Clip graphic 4.

Commentators Dr. Ellen Pittway and Paul Fraser criticize ill-treatment of people caught-up in Malaysian detention. There maybe a better place for refugees closer to the home lands from whence the left.

Australia has 4,000 in confinement compared with 90,000 in camps elsewhere.



Clip graphic 5.

Adelaide Festival of Ideas 9-12 July 2009, titled "Pushing the Line" and after initial introduction Kalad Kosar took the rostrum.

He is critical of PM Howard's (Lib. gov. 1996-2007) Pacific Solution.

Australia is a small player in illegal immigrant destinations -- KK "more come legally and overstay their time here".

The next 15 mins approx. he deals with smugglers, mode by which payment is made and thereafter the distribution of money.

Amount of money smugglers are paid determined by destination e.g. America high end, Europe next Australia at the low end.

Generally speaking illegal people conveyers are like Travel Agents i.e. "money determines where desperate people are taken".

KK suggested that the successful location of a family member in a foreign country was considered as an investmen by those families.

It's usual for a member to be financed by relatives aggregating liquidated assets.

After lessons learned from abuses by people smugglers, particularly in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a system of escrow operates.

Once a family member achieves work in a foreign country he/she remits money home, the original outlay "investment" justified, and only then does the people smuggler receive his/her fees from escrow.

KK mentions $3.7K is the average yearly return of earned money to the family and he cites the U.S. It's not unusual once the initial loan (investment) is repaid, the cycle recommences with another family member sent on their way into the rort system.

However the peopel smugglers do provide cheaper products and services to the general public in a host nation.

The address finished with questions from the audience:

Burning of boats;

False documents;

Success of international co-operation to stem illegal persons and;

PM M. Frazer's 1975 solution to uninvited foreigners.

May 12th 2011 'Arab Spring'

This was a video presentation in the form of a collection of videos from various sourse such as;

Al Jezeera television and the 'James Corbett Report'.

Israel woman Caroline Glick a specialist on Middle East politics addressing Representatives Washington DC.

The address opens with Egypt: Egypt using law to conduct war presumed against its citizens.

M's Glick then said Hosni Mubarak is a friend of U.S. Other struggles are taking place, as with the P.L.O. waring with Israel and U.S. Israel and America don't have the same policy towards Egypt.

Egypt not a Liberal Democracy but populist with assumed Muslim Brotherhood anti- American, anti-Semitic where poverty etc determines attitude.

Yes (as above) M's Glick says Mubarak had shared interests with Israel and U.S. -- No successor has this interest.

At this point in her talk Tunisia is mentioned as another country in turmoil. Attention again on Egypt she refers to the "mob" ousting Mubarak, imputes the brotherhood's anti-Semitic and anti-American sentiment.

With the arrest and imprisonment of Hosni Mubarak she shows the military rules. From the talk comprehension ( see COMMENT later) is that Mubarak was replaced by the military by a person she called a Nazi, this person presumed to be Ahmed Nazif 05/03/2010 to 15/04/2010.

So Egypt becomes an ally of Hamas(?) and the military wants to increase their budget and allow other Arab states access to the Suez Canal e.g. Iran et al.

Apparently since H. Mubarak's overthrow Israel is the only country the U.S. can trust in the Middle East, M's Glick closes her delivery by proposing (U.S.) containment of Iran and Iraq.

Question Time:-

Q. Israels' Army?

Ans. Israels' escalation of training of its military recently, since earlier wars with Egypt and Lebanon, but draft numbers down with greater "selectivity" when recruiting.


Q. Iran and Syria?

Ans. Syria needs regime decentralization for Israel's protection -- West should do more to remove Bashar al- Assad. Syria is a "way-station" (CG's word) for Jhadists and Hamas. She mentions Lebanon and Iraq, maybe the Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Syria better than Assad.

COMMENT

# The Muslim Brotherhood ONLY political movement with viability OTHER than established regimes in the Arab World (CG's words).

Israel should build its defenses against the brotherhood but government according to CG not listening.



The second Media Player capture, titled Empire courtesy of Al Jezeera.

The documentary commenced showing demonstrations in Arab countries, where regimes have dominant armed services to sustain them. Interviews with people in various Arab lands undergoing upheaval since Jan.-Feb. 11.

Thereafter a four eminent peoples panel (in studio) were introduced:

Professors Bishara,

El Mahdi,

C. Dickey

Dr. P. Seale

M. Bishara was the convener posing questions.


Notably the first question as to whether the civil unrest coming from that part of the World amounted to Revolution(s), there was no consensus from the other three.

R. El Mahdi at another time took exception when in a question the word "asleep" was used in reference to the degree of unrest (its genesis).

A question considering "commonality" and "differences" in the greater region brought forth responses encompassing history, nature of regimes, the diversity of people and economic comparison etc; indeed Egypt with its population of 80 million seemed favoured as a yardstick.

The panel pondered on when the "revolution" started perhaps 10 years earlier (or before), and the part of the Muslim Brotherhood, the concept of the "Old Brigade" versus the "New".


After an excised interval (removed from the video stream) came regime representatives from Egypt, Yemen and Libya disavowing and accusing Al Jezeera's coverage of events as giving encouragement to the unrest.

Also suggestion from those rulerships under pressure, the C.I.A., Mossad, Muslim Brotherhood and Iran were co-instigators of the turmoil.

Before the panel again took to microphone and lens the part technology had played, I.T. digital phones with cameras and especially satellite communication; put to the panel for consideration they acknowledged technology figured largely.

Dr. Seale (possibly) prompted by a question drew attention to the movement of people within the region is more prevalent now.

Diversification of Arab people, country by country, meant issues pertaining all tended to be dealt with by each country uniquely.

R. El Mahdi categorized periods of Arab political development since WW11, the 60's to 70's termed independent, 80's to 90's termed liberal and now democratic which should necessitate "foundational reform".

As the time line moved on with the visual stream, colonization and occupation within the Middle East got mention.

However, C. Dickey denied Israels involvement in the "youth movement" identified with the Arab Spring. Dr. Seale (a Syrian specialist) cites Turkey as an "important player" in that part of the World, so is Iran.

C. Dickey said Iran regardless of the past, now is a State where the "old guys" (Edit. Ayatollahs?!) rule, a comparison. with Turkey.

So the question as to a model/models -- R. El Mahdi above and "foundational reform" -- aftermath of the Arab Spring: The longer the conflict leaders and extremists will come to the fore (C. Dickey). As banners and signs passed across the screen M. Bishara suggested the "revolution" began with quips and jokes before Mubarak was deposed.


The last Media Player capture: James Corbett Report; Arab Spring and WW111.

A woman's voice, in reference to the Middle East ... casting off shackles for freedom. An Arab speaker (unseen) voicing support for protests. Direction protests are heading, an Iranian commentator, in regard to murders in Tunisia and Egypt. An American speaker's criticism of President Obama sending a questionable message to the Middle East.

J. Corbett reflects on happenings both in Egypt and Tunisia. A Western commentator indicates Mubarak has not got sufficient support from NATO, U.S. etc. Iran the Mossad, U.S. (State Dept.) and Brooking Inst., the former targeted by the latter three because of nuclear plans and genocide, other countries mentioned.

Mr. Cavaluchie -- a writer for www.landdestroyer.com -- claims U.S. State Dept. either has, or is currently participating in the removal of the Iranian government.

Next the West (America and Europe) should not allow Assad (Syria) to do what Gaddafi (Libya) did to his people. Syria could be the next political player (edit. as in chess) to experience West intervention, since force was used successfully against Libya.

Assumed the next comment was from J. Corbett: Iran and WW111. Neocons and the "grand game" with a message for China who has interests in Middle East oil and also have this resource in China.

Russia encircled by NATO and the Reagan-Gorbachev Agreement has now been dishonoured, noting oil from Libya is not getting to China because of current events, but China and Russia have nuclear weapons to deploy (i.e. WW111; edit. a fearful consideration).

Apparently there is a Globalist agenda explaining the immediate foregoing, not in interest of people U.S. and everywhere. A master plan according to L. Williams is operating throughout the Middle East, H. Clinton (Sec. of State U.S.) has met the Muslim Brotherhood, the last country to fall to the brotherhood will be Saudi Arabia.

Why, narration provided says oil will reach $200 U.S. a barrel -- Intention? To collapse the $U.S.! Narrator says "U.S. must eventually default on its debt" -- Result! A World government and a new currency. Finally globalists it's claimed are behind moving citizens from county to cities, Thailand according to narration is one such country where this conspicuously must be happening.

Other black Africans introduced supported aspects of their revelations, but it was not clear to me whether drugs in part was (with one bloke) not cause for his bravado?!?!
