Iranian press snubs Trudeau admin: 'Excess Luggage: Disgruntled Canada Wants Back to Iran'.

Iranian press snubs Trudeau admin: 'Excess Luggage: Disgruntled Canada Wants Back to Iran'. (Fars).

Until yesterday it was at the forefront of the NPT-illegal economic warfare against Iran. Today, the Canadian government says it is out for a rip to find the quickest route back to the Islamic Republic – with excess luggage of course.

And with excess luggage we mean this: Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion has just told reporters that his government will lift some sanctions on Iran now that a deal has been reached to curb - what he called - its “contentious” nuclear program.

And his snobbery doesn’t stop there. Dion goes on to allege that "Canada will maintain a level of mistrust for a regime that must not have nuclear weapons, a regime that is a danger to human rights, and is not a friend to our allies, including Israel."

The Canadian foreign minister should take note:

* When his government decided to close its embassy in Tehran and leave, no one cared. Now they have had a change of heart and want back. Again no one will care. What’s so special about their reappearance anyway?

* What sanctions is Dion talking about? Technology? Food? Car? Medicine? He can spend a whole month in Tehran to look for a Canadian-made product and still find nothing. The value of Iran-Canada trade is too trivial for him to brag about.

* Dion says “Canada will maintain a level of mistrust…” Well, good for you! He can be pretty much sure that Tehran will similarly maintain the same level of mistrust over a regime that abruptly leaves and abruptly returns - just like a disgruntled, irrational and unfaithful partner! But wait a minute. Canada didn’t just abruptly close its embassy in 2012 and leave. It also expelled Iranian diplomats from Ottawa and formally listed Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism!

* When asked specifically about exporting civilian aircraft — Bombardier hopes to sell regional jets to the country's national air carrier, Iran Air — Dion said it made no sense to maintain sanctions that hurt such an important Canadian industry!

"If Airbus is able to do it, why will Bombardier not be able to do it? In which way is it helping Canada, or the Iranian people or Israel or anyone that Canada is hurting its own industry?" Dion’s comments defy logic and we are lost in translation. We just don’t know what to make of it!

* Dion claims, "Iran continues to be a state sponsor of terrorism, continues to deny as state policy the very existence of Israel…” The country the Canadian foreign minister is complaining about is now at the forefront of the Real War on Terror in Iraq and Syria, where it has lost some of its best military commanders and elites. If still in doubt, he can ask the long-suffering people of Iraq and Syria. He can even go to Europe to hear the truth from his European counterparts. It’s closer to Canada.

* The Israel Dion is so keen to defend is a regime that has committed and continues to commit crimes against humanity in Syria, Lebanon and occupied Palestinian territories, including in Gaza - with great impunity and no accountability. If still he insists, he can find out more by going through official reports published by the Human Rights Council, Amnesty International, United Nations, and several other international aid groups and agencies.

* Dion admonishes Iran for human rights abuses while he knows his country is helping Saudi Arabia in its generational wars of aggression and terror. The same government that Dion claims is a strong voice for the protection of human rights and the advancement of democratic values, stands accused of signing off on the sales of advanced surveillance technologies and weaponry to the repressive regime of Saudi Arabia. This makes Canada complicit in Saudi crimes, as its technologies and weaponry are being used against the people of Yemen in clear violation of international humanitarian law.

All this and more speaks volumes about the irrefutable fact that the comic image of Canada as the “great defender of human rights” does not hold water when it's a matter of counter-terrorism campaign and international humanitarian law. Foreign Minister Dion should keep that in mind when his Bombardier begins landing in Tehran with so much excess luggage.  

Hmmmm............Islamist respect strength like PM Harper showed, Appeasement doesn't work.

Belgian Kurdish Institute sends open letter to Belgian king to display it's indignation of Erdogan reception.

Belgian Kurdish Institute.[GoogleTranslated].

Yesterday, Sunday, October 4th, the Turkish President Erdoğan landed in Zaventem for a state visit, met with the European institutions and the opening of the Europalia cultural event, where Turkey is host. Moreover, he today receives from the hands of King Philip the Groontlint in the Order of Leopold.

Erdoğan put at the moment everything possible to get a majority in parliament to re-election on November 1 for his AKP so he can install an authoritarian presidential system. To achieve this, he tries the Kurdish movement, the HDP (Democratic Peoples Party, ed) a huge profit booked by eliminating the elections of 7 June.

Last summer, the conflict between the PKK and the Turkish army, thereby again erupted in full force.Almost every day people die. In addition Erdoğan has given orders to shoot everything from a distance looks like a PKK guerrilla. Thereby leaving many innocent people, including women and children, life.

Not only the Kurds, but the whole Turkish society is suffering under the rule of Erdoğan. Freedom of speech is restricted and journalists threatened and democracy and secularism have to make way for a conservative-Islamic ideology.

This weekend leaked terrible images filmed in the Kurdish city of Sirnak, which shows how a Turkish armored vehicle drags the corpse of a young Kurd behind him through the streets. This kind of atrocities similar to the methods IS uses in its conquest area, are no exception and done with conscious knowledge of Erdoğan.

To express our outrage, we sent the following letter to the prime minister, the ministers of interior and foreign affairs and presidents of chambers and Senate.

Dear,

This Sunday you will receive Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as part of an official state visit. Moreover, Erdogan will be inducted into the Order of Leopold by King Philip.

We insist to inform you that on the hand that you will shake Sunday the blood of hundreds of innocent civilians is attached, including dozens of minors and the elderly. Erdoğan is executing a murderous terror campaign against the Kurds, which is by the electoral success of the HDP on June 7 the last obstacle in his plan to change the Turkish Constitution.

He is the person who is guilty of the bloody actions of the police in Gezipark, the military operation and the destruction of the towns of Cizre and Nusaybin, violence against journalists and the arrest of thousands of members of the HDP (Democratic Peoples Party) and other civilian organizations.
The purpose of Erdogan is no less than installing an authoritarian, conservative-Islamist, as new presidential power in the Middle East. To achieve this, he would walk over corpses, from reining in of free speech to provide support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

You have as official representatives of the Belgian state and democracy the duty to admonish this man. Erdoğan is a threat to Turkey and the Middle East, but also for Europe and Belgium. It is thanks to the negligent attitude of the Turkish army along the border with Syria that many European IS fighters, sometimes in groups, so easily get back and forth across the border.

We are appalled to learn that the person who is responsible for so much pain and sadness to the Kurdish people will receive the Grand Cordon of the Order of Leopold. Not only for the more than 50,000 Belgian citizens of Kurdish origin, but for all by you delegated citizens who strive for global humanitarianism and democracy, this is a stab in the heart.

We hope you took note of our sincere indignation.
Yours sincerely,
Derwich Ferhat,
Chairman Kurdish Institute of Brussels

EU[Rabia]'s Mogherini’s Iran trip encourages more executions.

EU[Rabia]'s Mogherini’s Iran trip encourages more executions. (NCRI).

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran reiterates that the upcoming trip to Iran by Ms. Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and meetings with leaders of the ruling religious fascism encourage this regime to continue torture and executions. 

It urges all supporters of human rights, women’s rights and democracy to take urgent action for the cancellation of this trip. This and other trips to Iran under the mullahs’ rule run counter to the national interest of the Iranian people and their determination to overthrow this regime and establish democracy and popular rule in Iran.

Ms. Mogherini plans to meet with those responsible for 120,000 political executions and the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the summer of 1988. 

Amnesty International in a press release on July 23 wrote that in the first half of 2015 at least 694 prisoners have been executed in Iran, adding: “Iran’s staggering execution toll for the first half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of the state carrying out premeditated, judicially-sanctioned killings on a mass scale. ... We are likely to see more than 1,000 state-sanctioned deaths by the year’s end.”

Ms. Mogherini will be meeting in Tehran with those bearing chief responsibility for the export of terrorism and fundamentalism and the massacre of the innocent peoples of Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. These officials should be tried for crimes against humanity for their crimes both inside Iran and abroad.

In the nine months that Ms. Mogherini has taken the helm in Schuman Square, some 1,000 prisoners have been executed in Iran, women have faced the most severe pressures, and religious and ethnic minorities have faced extensive repression and discrimination; however, Ms. Mogherini has refrained from uttering even a verbal condemnation of these daily atrocities. This is disgraceful for the European Union whose very foundation is based on countering fascism and supporting democracy and human rights.

While every day hundreds of Iranian women are arrested, fined and flogged by the agents of the regime on the bogus charge of ‘mal-veiling’, Ms. Mogherini plans to please the mullahs and obey their instructions by wearing a veil in her meetings with human rights criminals such as Hassan Rouhani, Ali Akbar Rafsanjani, Javad Zarif and Ali Larijani. Ms. Mogherini’s action is a blatant insult to all Iranian women.

The NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee strongly condemns this trip and urges Ms. Mogherini not to put salt on the Iranian people’s wounds, even if she refuses to doing anything to ease their pain and suffering.

The Iranian people, in particular the women, youth, political prisoners, and the families of those who have been executed, expect human rights and women’s rights defenders in Europe and particularly in Italy to take action to halt this visit which is considered as a dagger to the heart of democracy and human rights. Hmmmm.....I said it many times before the EU politicians would sell their whole family for financial gain and cheap gas.....'What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?' - Matthew 16:26.

Does Erdogan's Turkey really need long-range missiles?

Does Erdogan's Turkey really need long-range missiles?(AM).By Burak Bekdil.

In late 2011, likely to the pride of millions of Turks, the state scientific research institute, TUBITAK, announced that its scientists would soon finish a missile with a range of 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) and in 2014 another with a range of 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles). Another missile with an 800-kilometer range was ready for precision tests.

Professor Yucel Altinbasak, head of TUBITAK, said the order for the missile program had come from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “This is a most realistic project,” he said. An engineer from the institute’s missile project group told state television TRT, “Turkish missiles [are] more advanced than US or German missiles.” Turkey's efforts toward offensive missile capabilities come at a time when the country is also trying to construct its first long-range air and anti-missile defense architecture.

This is a curious program, not only in terms of military technology but also in regard to international politics and security. With Turkey as the epicenter of a radius of 2,500 kilometers, some of the cities that could in theory experience Turkish missiles overhead include Algiers, Amman, Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Beirut, Berlin, Brussels, Cairo, Copenhagen, Damascus, Geneva, Jeddah, Kiev, London, Milan, Moscow, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Tehran, Tel Aviv, Tripoli, Vienna, Warsaw and Zurich. Which of these cities stand to be a future security threat to Turkey?

Officials say the 800-kilometer missile will primarily target naval and aircraft shelter targets. Which naval and aircraft targets 800 kilometers away? They do not know. Politicians should answer this question, but for now defense officials are proud that TUBITAK’s missile scientists are working day and night to produce missiles that can be deployed, on naval and ground assets as well as aerial assets. One expert explained that in theory all this ambitious work aims “to maximize the Turkish military’s firepower.” That’s for sure, but why missiles with such a long range? Who are the potential enemies? Can Turkey attain such a long-range capability?.....(MFS: Does Hamas need missiles?)

“Theoretically, yes,” according to one missile scientist. “But practicality in this trade is always a different story for beginners like Turkey, especially due to strict international controls over proliferation.” Turkey is a signatory to the Missile Technology Control Regime, and thus it may now find it more difficult to access some of the “ingredients” necessary to make a missile. (IRAN).But can Turkey, really attain long-range missile capabilities? The scientist, with a sarcastic smile on his face, preferred not to respond further.

Turkey’s Western allies, however, worry that the Turks may be intending to use their own launching pad to fire the long-range missiles they hope to build. Whatever their intentions for the missile program could be, several expected and unexpected challenges on a global scale will likely be awaiting the neo-Ottoman army over any missile firepower it intends to possess. Hmmmm............Erdogan, Obama's BFF. Read the full story here.

As Carl in Jerusalem said in 2013:

For the moment, New York, Beijing, Seoul, Brasilia, Ottawa and Tokyo look safe and immune to future Turkish anger. But give Mr. Erdoğan another 10 years in power and Turkey might have another one with a range of 15,000 km by then.

There are a couple of minor problems, though. Since Turkey is a signatory to the Missile Technology Control Regime, it may now find more difficult access to some of the “ingredients” necessary to make a missile.

Second, I am not sure whether the punishing Turkish missile should be dubbed the Attila, or the Sultan Mehmed II. Third, and on a less significant basis, one triviality about the future Turkish ballistic missile could be that once shot and targeting, say, Tel Aviv, it may just be last seen over the skies of Edirne…

FM Davutoğlu: "Turkey-Israel relations ‘close’ to normalization, easing of the embargo on Gaza in the works." (HD).
Turkey and Israel are the closest they have been to a normalization of bilateral relations since the Mavi Marmara incident, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has said.

“There has recently been a momentum and new approach in compensation talks. We could say that most of the differences have been removed recently in these discussions,” Davutoğlu said Feb. 9 in a televised interview.

Stressing that there are “positive developments” in compensation talks and that “serious progress has een achieved,” he refrained from giving an exact time for a finalization of the process.

Davutoğlu also avoided announcing the amount of compensation being discussed for the victims of the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010, but did say that the difference in amount between what Turkey demanded and Israel offered had narrowed compared to May 2013.

“These issues will be discussed with the families [of the Mavi Marmara victims] after the outcome [of the compensation talks] is clarified,” he said.

Citing another pre-condition of Ankara for the normalization of ties, Davutoğlu cited an easing of the embargo on Gaza and claimed that compensation talks and subsequent steps would be important to this end.

Davutoğlu did not give a time frame for the reciprocal appointing of ambassadors, but said Turkey’s representation in Israel would be “significant” in order to “monitor and to coordinate humanitarian aid to Gaza.”Hmmm.....feeding the crocodile doesn't stop him, next he'll go after Israel's gas fields........keep bowing.
