GOP launches probe of $500M transfer to IRS for Obama's health law.

GOP launches probe of $500M transfer to IRS for Obama's health law.(TheHill).House Republicans want the IRS to explain how it’s using the $500 million it received from another department to help implement President Obama’s healthcare law.
The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) has transferred roughly $200 million to the IRS to implement the reform law and is planning to transfer about $300 million by the end of this year, The Hill first reported this week.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and Oversight subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany (R-La.) sought more information Wednesday about how the tax agency is using the funding.“The American people deserve to know how and why this one-half billion in taxpayer dollars are being spent, and how many additional IRS agents, auditors and other workers are being hired to enforce all the hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes and penalties in the Democrats’ health care law,” Camp and Boustany said.
In a letter to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, the lawmakers asked for a breakdown of how much money the IRS expects to spend over the next decade, how many employees are working on healthcare implementation and which provisions those employees are working on.
They also asked whether the IRS changed the amount of money it’s seeking from Congress as a result of the transfers from HHS.
Several big components of the health law fall to the IRS, including the controversial individual mandate. The agency is also overseeing tax credits to small businesses and will administer subsidies to help low-income people buy insurance.The transfers from HHS have come out of a $1 billion fund created by the healthcare law for general implementation activities. Government auditors have said the transfers are legal, but the practice has nevertheless provided new fodder for Republican critics of the healthcare overhaul.Read the full story here.

Occupy Wall Street: Mass Economic Riots Are Now Here And America Will Never Be The Same

Occupy Wall Street: Mass Economic Riots Are Now Here And America Will Never Be The Same.(BlacklistedNews).By Michael Snyder.
Is Occupy Wall Street going to represent a major turning point in U.S. history? Over the past several years, many people have been warning that we would see mass economic riots in the United States if the economy continued to get worse. Well, the economic riots are now here and America will never be the same. The Occupy Wall Street protests are starting their third week and now similar protests have sprung up in major cities all over the United States. An increasing number of Americans have totally lost faith in the system and are looking for an outlet for their frustrations. Occupy Wall Street is a spark that has started a fire, but most Americans do not understand where all of this is going. In the years ahead, millions more Americans will lose their jobs, millions more Americans will lose their homes to foreclosure and millions more Americans will find themselves drowning in debt. As the economy continues to decline, millions upon millions of Americans will become even more frustrated. In particular, young Americans are really starting to become angryabout the economy and our deeply corrupt financial system. Eventually we are going to see an explosion of anger and frustration on the streets of America that is going to be absolutely unprecedented. Occupy Wall Street is just the beginning. If most Americans could see what is coming next, it would chill them to their cores.
Growing up, most of us were taught that if we wanted to change things in America, we could do it at the ballot box. Well, today large numbers of Americans are realizing that both major political parties have been bought and paid for. They are realizing that things never seem to change no matter who we vote into office. They are realizing that signing petitions or sending letters to our "representatives" does not accomplish anything.
As the frustration of average Americans has grown, it has given rise to new political movements.
So far, the Tea Party movement has been the most prominent, and it has been dominated mostly by Republicans.
Now, Occupy Wall Street is becoming a national movement, and it is being dominated mostly by radical leftists and socialists.
Both movements have attempted to appeal to the growing core of libertarians in this country, and to a certain extent both movements have had some success.
But what all of this represents is a fundamental shift in the way that Americans view political change.
Americans no longer trust that politicians will listen to them. All of the recent polls show that satisfaction with the government is at an all-time low. People are deeply frustrated and large numbers of them simply do not believe that the traditional ways of bringing about change work anymore.
America is broken, and it is getting really hard to deny it.
In America today, it takes massive amounts of money to get elected, and most of our politicians end up deeply aligned with those that have huge amounts of money to donate to political campaigns.
Most Americans today feel like they have no voice. Many also feel like they do not have a legitimate choice at the ballot box.
So what happens when millions of Americans are deeply, deeply angry about the economy and the direction this country is headed, but they also believe that the political system is so broken that voting won't do any good?
Well, we are starting to see what happens.
Today, people are marching non-violently in the streets.
Tomorrow, unfortunately, things are likely to get much crazier. Violence is not the solution to any of our problems, but sadly that is the direction we are headed as a nation. Those that are angry and frustrated tend to lash out in wild and unpredictable ways. We saw that during the London riots recently.
It would be great if a couple of "quick fixes" could be implemented and all of our economic problems would go away. But the reality of the situation is that the problems that we are facing are far more complicated than that. The truth is that the United States is in the midst of a long-term economic decline which is getting progressively worse, and this country has become deeply, deeply divided.
There is not much hope on the horizon and time is rapidly running out for our economy.
So will the Occupy Wall Street protests bring about change?
Well, there are a couple of things that are very unusual about the Occupy Wall Street protests.
One of the unique things about the Occupy Wall Street protests is that they are focused on money and economics. In the past, most mass protests in America have been about war or civil rights, but the Occupy Wall Street movement is very much focused on the economic pain that ordinary Americans are feeling.
It is also very unusual for liberals to be conducting mass protests while a liberal is sitting in the White House.
So if this is what is happening now, what is going to happen once a Republican gets elected?
That is a very sobering thing to think about.
At first, a lot of people thought that the Occupy Wall Street protests would quickly fade away.
But they haven't.
Instead, they have grown and they have spread to more cities.
For example, the other day 3,000 people protested in front of Bank of America's offices in downtown Boston.
Similar protests are now being held in San Francisco, in Chicago, in Los Angeles, in Seattle, and in Denver.
But of course New York is still the epicenter of the movement, and what happened on the Brooklyn Bridge the other day made headlines all over the globe.
Police arrested more than 700 people under very suspicious circumstances. The arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge appear to have been a staged event by the police. If you doubt this, just read this eyewitness account.
So exactly who is behind Occupy Wall Street?
Well, the truth is that some very familiar names are associated with this "grassroots" movement.
A recent article posted on WorldNetDaily fingered ACORN founder Wade Rathke and SEIU board member Stephen Lerner as two of the leaders of the Occupy Wall Street movement....

In March, ACORN founder Wade Rathke announced what he called "days of rage in ten cities around JP Morgan Chase." Rathke was president of an SEIU local in New Orleans.
The planned Sept. 17 protest seems to be the culmination of Rathke's efforts.
Those efforts are being organized by Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member who reportedly visited the Obama White House at least four times.
Lerner is considered one of the most capable organizers of the radical left.

The sad truth is that the Occupy Wall Street movement is not something new. The vast majority of the protesters seem to be Obama supporters, and there is little evidence that many of the protesters have broken out of the false left/right political paradigm that dominates our political system.
Most of the participants in the Occupy Wall Street movement openly talk about how much they admire Barack Obama, and yet 3 of the top 7 donors to Obama's campaign in 2008 were the very Wall Street banks that the Occupy Wall Street movement is protesting.
Obama's administration is littered with people that used to work for big Wall Street banks, and Obama has been really good to Wall Street.
So if the Occupy Wall Street movement was really serious about change, they would be openly protesting Obama.
But you don't see too many anti-Obama signs out there, now do you?
It would be really nice if the Occupy Wall Street movement was truly a non-political movement that was focused on bringing economic justice back to this country.
The reality, however, is that it was started by far left political groups, and a lot more very liberal organizations are now jumping on board.
Hundreds of thousands of very frustrated Americans are going to get involved in these protests without even realizing who is organizing them.
According to a recent article by blogger Alexander Higgins, quite a few very prominent unions are now throwing their support behind Occupy Wall Street....

As I previously reported unions are coming out in full force to support the Occupy Wall Street protests. We received news that the 200,000 member strong Transportation Workers Union would be joining the protests. The Teamster’s union endorsed the protests. Rumors of Verizon workers joining the protests. A scathing endorsement was issued by the Industrial Workers Union has also endorsed the Occupy Wall Street protests. Then news that several more unions had committed to or were contemplating joining the protests, while two the unions scheduled solidarity marches.
Now TPM reports even more unions are joining up to protest against Wall Street and the movement is set to grow rapidly.
The article also comes along with the news that a collective of 8 groups, with over 1 million members will be joining the Occupy Wall Street movement to show solidarity and march against the machine.

Reportedly, October 5th is being targeted as a day for mass protests to be held all around the country.
If the Occupy Wall Street movement and the Tea Party movement joined together to protest the abuses of the Federal Reserve and the abuses of Wall Street they would be a very powerful force.
But instead, the Occupy Wall Street movement considers the Tea Party movement to be the enemy.
Just consider what some very prominent leftist leaders have said recently....
*Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa recently stated that he is ready for "war" with the Tea Party....

"We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: the war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner."

He also added the following during his recent speech....

"President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong"

*Some leftist leaders believe that it is time for "war". The following is from a recent speech by The New Black Panther Party National Chairman Malik Shabazz....

We have to fight. Gird up your loins college students. Gird up your loins young black man and young black woman, for the hour of war is at hand.

*Instead of working with the them, the following is what Maxine Waters recently had to say about the Tea Party....

"As far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell"

Of course a lot of Republicans would rather lose a limb than work with people like Jimmy Hoffa and Maxine Waters.
We are a country that is deeply divided and we seem to love to fight with one another.
Most Americans are deeply, deeply frustrated, but very few of us agree on what the solutions to our problems are.
Whenever a new protest movement arises, Americans tend to flock to it because they are searching for something that they can finally believe in.
Right now the Occupy Wall Street movement is fresh and new. Michael Moore was right when he said the following about the movement....

"These numbers will grow and they’re going to grow all across the country."

There are millions and millions of deeply frustrated Americans out there, and any movement that arises that seems to address their concerns is going to draw followers.
The banksters certainly seem alarmed about the growth of protest movements such as Occupy Wall Street.
For example, JPMorgan Chase recently donated over 4 and a half million dollars to the New York City Police Foundation....

JPMorgan Chase recently donated an unprecedented $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple.

Do you really think that JPMorgan Chase just did that out of the kindness of their hearts?
As movements like Occupy Wall Street grow, law enforcement authorities will crack down on them harder and harder.
In fact, we have already seen some very disturbing incidents during the recent protests. For example, most of you have already probably seen this video of a police officer spraying mace directly into the faces of helpless female protesters.
It is almost unbelievable that such things are happening in America.
But things are going to get much worse than this.
The frustration of those on the left is going to continue to grow.
The frustration of those on the right is going to continue to grow.
In the years ahead we are going to see mass economic riots that are going to make Occupy Wall Street look like a Sunday picnic.
In response, the powers that be are going to use law enforcement more aggressively than ever in an attempt to exert control.
All of this is going to make many of our large cities hellish place to be.
The "coming economic riots" have now arrived.
America will never be the same again.
According to one recent poll, 39 percent of Americans now believe that the U.S. economy has entered a state of "permanent decline".
Our nation is falling apart and we are already seeing the frustration of the American people boil over in some very strange ways. For much more on this growing phenomenon please see the following articles....

  Levels of radioactive substances have jumped in the Pacific seabed off Japan near the nuclear power plant crippled by a massive tsunami in March, according to the plant operator. Seabed samples collected some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant contained 1,400 becquerels of radioactive caesium-137 per kilogramme, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said. The level is more than 600 times higher than a maximum 2.3 becquerels per kilogramme detected in the past off the northeastern prefecture of Fukushima. The samples, taken on Friday, also contained 1,300 becquerels of caesium-134 and 190 becquerels of iodine-131, according to a TEPCO statement issued late Tuesday after the first analysis of seabed soil since the March 11 disaster. Levels of the two materials were too low to be gauged in the past, a TEPCO spokeswoman said. The company did not say whether the levels were considered harmful. Samples taken at another spot 20 kilometres (12 miles) away from the plant also showed similarly high radiation levels. TEPCO said it would continue to examine radiation levels. "We cannot say anything definite after just one probe. We will conduct more sample examinations and keep a watch," the spokeswoman said. The samples were taken 20-30 metres (66-100 feet) deep and three kilometres from the coast. The Fukushima plant has leaked radiation into air, soil and ocean since it was severely damaged by the massive quake and tsunami. Greenpeace said Tuesday it had begun independent tests of water samples from the ocean near Japan's crippled for radiation contamination. The samples will be collected outside Japan's 12-mile territorial waters in line with government rules, Greenpeace said.Source : Here .

• CIA Director Leon Panetta: We did not know whatexactly was going on.(Telegraph).The head of the CIA admitted yesterday that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound as further doubts emerged about the US version of events.Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.A photograph released by the White House appeared to show the President and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.Mr Panetta said: “Once those teams went into the compound I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we really didn’t know just exactly what was going on. And there were some very tense moments as we were waiting for information.“We had some observation of the approach there, but we did not have direct flow of information as to the actual conduct of the operation itself as they were going through the compound.”Mr Panetta also revealed that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president.Hmmmm....That story will have more versions than the Holy Bible?Read the full story here.

• How Europe sees Obama "The Peaceprize" winner now!(Spiegel).President Barack Obama's 'Retaliatory Justice'.While relief that Osama bin Laden has finally been eliminated is widespread, many in Europe and Germany are concerned about the implications of the targeted killing. German commentators on Wednesday say celebrating the al-Qaida leader's death is a blunder.In the three days since bin Laden's demise in his villa not far from Islamabad, however, some have begun having second thoughts about the US Special Forces operation. Europe, and particularly Germany, are uncomfortable with what looks increasingly like a targeted killing. Reports that bin Laden was not armed at the time of his death have only served to reinforce such unease.

Merkel herself has come under fire from politicians across the political spectrum in Germany for her initial reaction. And Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has likewise warned that too much crowing over bin Laden's death might not ultimately be helpful to relations between the West and the Muslim world.Some German commentators on Wednesday are likewise uncomfortable with the implications the US operation has for international law. Others voice doubt as to whether the strike will, in the end, improve Obama's chances at re-election in 2012.

"Osama bin Laden was a criminal. Thus, from a political perspective there are reasons for seeing his killing as unavoidable. But that Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama celebrated bin Laden's death in his speech with the words 'justice has been done,' and that the German chancellor supported this with an expression of her happiness over his death are shameful blunders. They place approval on an act that violates both the international prohibition of force and humanitarian law."

"The justice that Barack Obama seeks is a retaliatory justice. However if future global justice is realized not in constitutional proceedings where criminals receive a trial, but instead through quick targeted killings, then what French philosopher Jacques Derrida prophesied will come true. In relation to the techniques with which they operate, terrorist networks and state systems will become indistinguishable."

The left-leaning Berliner Zeitung writes:

"Love thy neighbor as thyself, says one of the most important basic precepts of Christianity. This principle is one of the hardest to follow, much more difficult to uphold than the ban on murder.""Just how thinly the layer of Christian culture coats the low, archaic instincts of humans rarely shows itself as clearly as it did the day after the liquidation of the Islamist terrorist leader Osama bin Laden by US Special Forces. President Obama, a Christian, said in all seriousness that with bin Laden 'justice had been done,' as though there were no American constitution, no justice, no law."

"The US violated a number of principles of human rights with its operation against bin Laden. This is supposed to be an example to Arab democracies? Obama also threw overboard much freshly earned trust by tossing Osama bin Laden's corpse overboard from the USS Carl Vinson into the Arabian Sea. In his 2009 Cairo speech he called for respect for the human rights of the individual and for tradition.... To misrepresent dumping a corpse as a proper Muslim ceremony is a mockery."

The center-left Süddeutsche Zeitung writes:

"Officially it was a sea burial, but it was more of an ocean dumping of political hazardous waste: US soldiers threw the body of the al-Qaida chief into the sea. That is ugly, but comprehensible. The grave of the terror leader could have become a pilgrimage site for his followers. But does bin Laden leave the Arab-Muslim world anything behind to hold onto?""Anyone who celebrates the death of the al-Qaida leader as a victory over militant Islam is mistaken. The terror group could be dying off, but new forms of jihad could arise under certain conditions. Only just, modern social conditions provide protection from bin Laden's legacy in Muslim nations. With the Arab Spring, the people are moving in this direction, without help from the West.""The victory over al-Qaida -- if it comes -- will be far more than the success of American high-tech warriors. It will also be to the credit of the Muslims in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya."

The center-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung writes:

"The domestic political outcomes of the death of Public Enemy Number One are likely easier to predict than in foreign and security policy: They will probably be limited.""George H. W. Bush lost to the widely unknown democrat Bill Clinton in 1992 despite his shining victory against Saddam Hussein, because the economy failed to gain momentum. For Obama the gutsy operation against bin Laden will mean little in the face of the enormous federal debt, the gaping budget deficit and high unemployment.""In a paradoxical turn, America's waning fear of terrorism after bin Laden's death could reduce Obama's chance of re-election. The saying, 'It's the economy stupid!' got Clinton into the White House in 1992. The message will be the same in 2012."Hmmm......And even a million pictures of a dead Osama Bin Laden can not change this reality,Obama just makes the reality worse every minute of his presidency!Read the full story here.

Miniter tells Big Peace:

I was stunned to learn while researching Mastermind that Guantanamo detainees succeeded in convincing prison officials to no longer raise the American flag anywhere they could see it. Each morning on every U.S. military base around the world, the American flag is raised to a bugle. But in the interests of not offending the detainees, it was stopped at Guantanamo.Hmmmm......Not releasing pictures, not raising the American flag?Who's running the country Al-Qaida?Read the full story here.

• The butterfly eggs that turn in to caterpillars?Google and Government: A Threat to Your Privacy.(BigGovernment).News that Android and Apple phone communicate collect data on your personal information reveal much about the two companies and their views of the consumer.Upon the release of the news, Steve Jobs took to the microphone denying Apple products track users calling such accusations “false.” Emails leaked to the Mercury News tell a different story about Google. “I cannot stress enough how important Google’s wifi location database is to our Android and mobile product strategy,” Google location service product manager Steve Lee wrote. “We absolutely do care about this (decision by Motorola) because we need wifi data collection in order to maintain and improve our wifi location service.”This is not Google’s first dust-up regarding privacy violations. Back in 2003, Google-Watch chronicled major privacy concerns about the company including

1. Google’s immortal cookie: Google was the first search engine to use a cookie that expires in 2038. This was at a time when federal websites were prohibited from using persistent cookies altogether. Now it’s years later, and immortal cookies are commonplace among search engines; Google set the standard because no one bothered to challenge them. This cookie places a unique ID number on your hard disk. Anytime you land on a Google page, you get a Google cookie if you don’t already have one. If you have one, they read and record your unique ID number.
2. Google records everything they can: For all searches they record the cookie ID, your Internet IP address, the time and date, your search terms, and your browser configuration. Increasingly, Google is customizing results based on your IP number. This is referred to in the industry as “IP delivery based on geo-location.”
3. Google retains all data indefinitely: Google has no data retention policies. There is evidence that they are able to easily access all the user information they collect and save.
4. Google won’t say why they need this data: Inquiries to Google about their privacy policies are ignored. When the New York Times asked Sergey Brin about whether Google ever gets subpoenaed for this information, he had no comment.

There is now an added element of concern about Google’s data collection activities. Google’s growing relationship with government. Google has received fast-tracked contracts from government agencies like the National Security Agency and the Department of Defense, were consumer information like Google searches shared with the spy agency? Does Google’s retention policy make it a depository for federal agencies that is just a subpoena away? But you don’t have that option when it comes to the government. Google’s growing embrace of government power and contracts raise more troubling concerns than whether Google is tracking your every move.Hmmm......Does the government even need a subpoena,in view of their 'close coperation?Read the full story here.

• Obama regime will continue to fund 'Palestinian Authority' including terrorist organisation Hamas.(IsraelMatzav).In a story about Prime Minister Netanyahu's upcoming meeting with President Obama on May 20, YNet notes that the President is not 'fundamentally opposed' to Hamas and Fatah reconciling. Unlike Israel, the US isn’t fundamentally opposed to a Hamas-Fatah deal but would like to review the specifics of the agreement. The US does not recognize Hamas and is against its presence in a Palestinian government as long as it fails to meet the Quartet demands – recognizing Israel's right to exist and previous agreements and denouncing terror and violence. YNet goes on to point out that means that Obama will still expect Netanyahu to make 'gestures' to bring the 'Palestinians' to the bargaining table.Jennifer Rubin reports that it's worse than that. Obama plans to continue to fund the 'Palestinian Authority' despite the fact that Hamas is now part of it.

• 'I will lead a funeral prayer for Bin Laden': Hate preacher plans protest against killing outside U.S. Embassy in London.(DailyMail).A radical cleric is set to spark fury by protesting against the killing of Osama Bin Laden outside the U.S. Embassy in London.Anjem Choudary, a known supporter of the world's most notorious terrorist, says he will lead a 'funeral prayer' and call on U.S. authorities to return the body to relatives.The former UK leader of the outlawed al-Muhajiroun and member of the 'poppy burning' Muslims Against Crusades extremist group is calling on fellow extremists to join the demonstration tomorrow afternoon.He has already warned of another 7/7-style terror attack in the wake of Bin Laden's death.Britain has followed the U.S. in placing its embassies, diplomatic missions and military bases around the world on heightened alert in recent days.Domestic attacks and 'more intense fighting' in Iraq and Afghanistan will be sparked within days, Mr Choudary said.He said supporters in the UK loved Bin Laden 'the way they care about their own parents'.'I think Britain is more likely to face a 7/7 today than ever,' the sharia law lecturer said.'This will encourage more people to participate. He became a figurehead leader, someone who sacrificed a lot for the Muslim community.'He gave his wealth, he sacrificed a lot for the sake of others.'The U.S. Embassy has not been warned of the planned protest.The Metropolitan Police Commissioner said one man’s death does not mark the end of an ideology and we must remain alert to the continuing threat form Al Qaeda, its affiliates and those acting alone.’ In Lebanon, where he now lives after being thrown out of Britain for his extremist rants, Bakri said the killing of Bin Laden ‘is considered a cold-blooded murder of a helpless man, especially that he was killed in the presence of wife and children in bed’. The burial of ‘martyr’ Bin Laden at sea was also ‘an offence to Muslims and a declaration of war against God, his Prophet and Muslims’, he said.Read the full story here.

An SUV belonging to the dead man was found nearby.Police are waiting for a forensic report to determine the exact time and cause of the man's death and whether it was a homicide or assisted suicide.Chung identified the man as a 58-year-old surnamed Kim.Popular representations of the death of Jesus Christ depict him crucified between the crosses of two thieves, wearing a crown of thorns, a white cloth over his loins, with a wound on his side from a Roman soldier's spear.Read the full story here.

Was it in line with Islamic law or did the US want to avoid a shrine being raised in his honor?

• Dr. Muzamil Siddiqi, chairman of the Fiqh Council of North America and a scholar on the legal systems of Islam. "They don't even have a casket -- the body is in the ground," he said. "After a person dies, the body is treated like any other human being. We don't do a retaliation on the dead body." Scholars say that even those who are criminals and murderers are given the Islamic rite of burial. "Even those who are executed have a proper burial given to them," Siddiqi said. "It is strictly forbade any mutilation -- even of the enemy's body." God reckons with a person's deeds in the afterlife on judgment day, he said. I wonder if he gave advice to the Osama Burial squad?So Obama acted as a good Muslim afraid of the afterlife,don't show the pictures !

• The unimaginable end created by the US Administration for the leader of Al-Qaeda turned him into a legend.(Al-Arabia).The prayers on the dead - the US styleThe US Defense Department held the prayers on the dead body of Osama Bin Laden aboard "Carl Vinson" aircraft carrier. The prayers lasted for 50 minutes. The Americans were keen to apply "the rules of the Islamic teachings" in the prayers. The corpse of Osama Bin Laden was washed up, then placed in the white wrapping cloth, which was then put in a weighted bag. One officer performed the prayers, which was arabized by a translator and then the dead body was placed on a board and thrown in the Arabian Sea.

Sources from the Pentagon said that they have been committed to all the Islamic rules in performing the prayers on dead body of Bin Laden, but they never mentioned the details of washing the body. Has the dead body been washed up by a Muslim? Did he make use of camphor? It seems that it was hard to wash the dead body as it was shredded, burned or even due to insufficient water as the washing took place aboard an aircraft carrier. The statement pointed out to the details of the prayers and said that an officer "performed the prayers after a translator arabized it." We don't know why the translator did not perform the prayers himself as long as he speaks fluent Arabic. We don't know if the officer was a Muslim and the translator was not! If the case was so, then how did they permit the translator to attend the prayers and how many people were present during the prayers on the dead body?Let's disregard this part of the "movie" of the killing of Mr. Bin Laden. Let's disregard Washington's attempt to satisfy the simple Muslims by talking about washing the dead body and performing the prayers. Let's disregard the lies of both the Americans and the Pakistanis. Let's stop at the scene of burial. The leader of Al-Qaeda has lived in caves, he has created a weird Jihadist thought. He has permitted the killing of children, women and innocent people. He has practiced terrorism for long decades…He has misled numerous young people and pushed them into an unknown destiny. He recruited dozens of writers and professionals. He has created a cultural state which he called "Al-Qaeda" thought. Eventually, his dead body was thrown in the Arabian Sea. He evaporated. Isn't this end more instigating to re-create another Bin Laden personality? Isn't this end creates a kind of suspicion on his killing and intentionally turns him into an absent cleric?Some politicians considered the killing of Mr. Bin Laden as a transfer point in the terrorism phenomenon. But, nobody is able to confirm that it is a positive point of transfer. Some media outlets participated over long years to put Mr. Bin Laden in the position of a hero. But, the unimaginable end created by the US Administration for the leader of Al-Qaeda turned him into a legend and would lead to a continuation of his thoughts that disfigured Islam and made Jihad contradictory with courage.Read the full story here.

• Rabbis: Regain control of Joseph's Tomb.(Ynet).Some 40 right-wing religious leaders, including Beit El Rabbi Zalman Melamed, tour Samaria. 'No foreign state will be established in the holy territories of the Land of Israel,' they say in special statement. Dozens of right-wing rabbis toured the Samaria region on Tuesday in a bid to show their support for Jewish residents following the recent security-related events at the Itamar settlement and Joseph's Tomb. The 40 rabbis, members of the Derech Emunah movement, visited Torah institutions in the Samaria communities, agricultural centers and local council offices, and stated that Jewish control of the area must be maintained.The tour's most senior participants were Beit El Rabbi Zalman Melamed and chief rabbis of cities, towns and communities, as well as yeshiva heads. "We came to Samaria as a delegation representing hundreds of rabbis from all over the country, in order to strengthen and support the Israeli settlement in Samaria," the rabbis wrote in a special statement issued at the end of the tour. "We felt that this was obvious, especially after the grave acts of murder in Itamar and Joseph's Tomb. We came to strengthen the residents and were strengthened ourselves by the courage, bravery and sense of justice beating in Samaria." The rabbis called on the Israeli government to "clarify to the entire world that the Land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel only, and will remain in their hands forever."No foreign state will be established in the holy territories of the Land of Israel. A Jewish government will be the only one to control Judea and Samaria, and the people of Israel will move freely and safely in all of their country's territories." The Derech Emunah rabbis called on the government to "halt any negotiations with the Arab terrorists", claiming that "their 'security organizations' murdered Ben-Yosef Livnat – may the Lord avenge his blood – in cold blood, just like they have murdered several times in the past, often with weapons supplied to them by irresponsible statesmen."As for the control of Joseph's Tomb, the rabbis wrote that "Israel must regain control of all of Judea and Samaria. It must begin immediately at Joseph's Tomb, and free access to the tomb must be allowed just like to any other national holy site."Read the full story here.

• And now for something completely different!Belgian 21 year old Student sells virginity online for $ 74.350 (DailyMail).but she's keeping her identity a secret in case her parents find out.A Belgian student has sold her virginity in an online auction for the equivalent of £45,000.The 21-year-old named only as Noelle put her body up for sale on the Amsterdam-based Yantra escort girl site in March.Now after two months of bidding, she has accepted an offer from a mystery buyer.The winner has bought her company for 24 hours, and as part of the deal he must also take her out shopping and for dinner at the restaurant of her choice.He will get a doctor's certificate proving Noelle is a virgin, and she is insisting sex will only be performed with a condom.Noelle describes herself on the website as 'a very sweet and innocent girl, but with a bit of a naughty mind'.The site provided provocatively posed pictures of Noelle, who it says is a brunette with brown eyes, 5ft 8ins tall, a Size 10 dress size and a B bra cup.And it even claimed Noelle would be giving five per cent of her earnings from the sex sale to charity to 'prove she's not a prostitute'.It wrote in clumsily worded English during the auction: 'If you like to have a date and be intimate with a virgin, then you can make a bidding for her at the bidding page.'Only serious biddings will be taken into consideration. The rate starts at 5000 euros (£4,200).'It's only possible to see her if you take her out as well, for dinner and shopping.' A bold button at the bottom of the page then said, 'Click here to bid on her virginity!' A Yantra Escorts spokeswoman told Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws: 'She has one sole objective, and that's cash.'I will vet the winning bidder. I have a lot of experience and I will be able to root out the dodgy ones.Hmmmm.....A 'hole' in the market?Depending on the location and surgeon,Hymenoplasty could cost as little as $1,800 -$5,000.Read the full story here.

• Tony Blair: Mubarak is 'immensely courageous and a force for good'.Former PM praises Egyptian president over role in peace negotiations and warns against a rush to elections that could bring Muslim Brotherhood to power.Tony Blair has described Hosni Mubarak, the beleaguered Egyptian leader, as "immensely courageous and a force for good" and warned against a rush to elections that could bring the Muslim Brotherhood to power.The former prime minister, now an envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, praised Mubarak over his role in the negotiations and said the west was right to back him despite his authoritarian regime because he had maintained peace with Israel.But that view is likely to anger many Egyptians who believe they have had to endure decades of dictatorship because the US put Israel's interests ahead of their freedom.Speaking to Piers Morgan on CNN, Blair defended his backing for Mubarak."Where you stand on him depends on whether you've worked with him from the outside or on the inside. I've worked with him on the Middle East peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians so this is somebody I'm constantly in contact with and working with and on that issue, I have to say, he's been immensely courageous and a force for good," he said."Inside Egypt, and I have many Egyptian friends, it's clear that there's been a huge desire for change."Asked if the west had not been an obstacle to change, Blair defended the policies of his and other governments."I don't think the west should be the slightest bit embarrassed about the fact that it's been working with Mubarak over the peace process but at the same time it's been urging change in Egypt," he said.Read the full story here.

• Egypt's Mubarak says resigning would bring chaos. In ABC interview, embattled president says he is 'fed up' after 62 years in public service; claims he told Obama 'you don't understand Egyptian culture and what would happen if I step down now.' Protestors prepare to defy curfew, sleep at Tahrir Square ahead of mass Friday demonstrations; Doctors say at least 10 dead, 800 injured in Cairo clashes.President Hosni Mubarak said on Thursday he wanted to quit but that he feared his resignation would bring chaos to Egypt, as protesters demanding an end to his 30-year rule confronted his supporters on Cairo streets."I am fed up. After 62 years in public service, I have had enough. I want to go," Mubarak said in an interview with ABC."If I resign today, there will be chaos," he added.In a move to try to calm the disorder, Vice President Omar Suleiman said on Thursday the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's most organized opposition movement, had been invited to meet with the new government as part of a national dialogue with all parties.An offer to talk to the banned group would have been unthinkable before protests erupted on Jan. 25, indicating the giant strides made by the reformist movement. But scenting victory, they have refused negotiations until Mubarak goes.Oil prices have climbed on fears the unrest could spread to affect oil giant Saudi Arabia or interfere with oil supplies from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal.Hmmm......He is right complete chaos will follow and the West and the US will pay the price for electing Obama!Read the full story here.

• HT:Aina.Muslim Brotherhood wants end to Egypt-Israeli peace deal.Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood movement has unveiled its plans to scrap a peace treaty with Israel if it comes to power, a deputy leader said in an interview with NHK TV.Rashad al-Bayoumi said the peace treaty with Israel will be abolished after a provisional government is formed by the movement and other Egypt's opposition parties."After President Mubarak steps down and a provisional government is formed, there is a need to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel," al-Bayoumi said.Egypt was the first Arab country to officially recognize Israel and sign a peace agreement with the Israeli government in 1979. It is also a major mediator of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.The Muslim Brotherhood has recently come to light amid mass anti-government protests in Egypt. Some media voiced concerns that the banned Islamic movement could eventually take power in the riot-hit Arab country.Hmmm.....Thanks to Obama the world is another step closer to WW III.Read the full story here.

• HT:MyWay......."They don't trust me because of my middle name"?President Barack Obama's response to the crisis in Egypt is drawing fierce criticism in Israel, where many view the U.S. leader as a political naif whose pressure on a stalwart ally to hand over power is liable to backfire.Critics - including senior Israeli officials who have shied from saying so publicly - say Obama is repeating the same mistakes of predecessors whose calls for human rights and democracy in the Middle East have often backfired by bringing anti-West regimes to power.Israeli officials, while refraining from open criticism of Obama, have made no secret of their view that shunning Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and pushing for swift elections in Egypt could bring unintended results."I don't think the Americans understand yet the disaster they have pushed the Middle East into," said lawmaker Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, who until recently was a Cabinet minister and who is a longtime friend of Mubarak."If there are elections like the Americans want, I wouldn't be surprised if the Muslim Brotherhood didn't win a majority, it would win half of the seats in parliament," he told Army Radio. "It will be a new Middle East, extremist radical Islam."Three decades ago, President Jimmy Carter urged another staunch American ally - the shah of Iran - to loosen his grip on power, only to see his autocratic regime replaced by the Islamic Republic. More recently, U.S.-supported elections have strengthened such groups as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Palestinian territories and anti-American radicals in Iran."Jimmy Carter will go down in American history as 'the president who lost Iran,'" the analyst Aluf Benn wrote in the daily Haaretz this week. "Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who 'lost' Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt, and during whose tenure America's alliances in the Middle East crumbled," Benn wrote.In Israel, critics say the U.S. has suffered a credibility loss by shaking off Mubarak when his regime started crumbling."The Israeli concept is that the U.S. rushed to stab Mubarak in the back," said Eytan Gilboa, an expert on the U.S. at Bar-Ilan University."If Obama were genuinely concerned with what is going on in Egypt, he should have made the same demands two years ago (when he addressed the Muslim world in Cairo) and eight years and 20 years ago. Mubarak didn't come to power yesterday.""As long as there are no problems, the oppression works," Israeli said. "If the oppression doesn't work, suddenly it becomes urgent. That's unacceptable."Hmmmm......"They don't trust me because of my middle name"?Read the full story here.

• Muslims Attack Two Christian Families in Egypt, 11 Killed.News of a massacre of two Christian Coptic families by Islamists just emerged from Upper Egypt with the return of the Internet connections after a week of Internet blackout by the Egyptian regime. The massacre took place on Sunday, January 30 at 3 PM in the village of Sharona near Maghagha, Minya province. Two Islamists groups, aided by the Muslim neighbors, descended on the roof of houses owned by Copts, killing eleven Copts, including children, and seriously injuring four others.Anba Agathon, Bishop of Maghagha, told Coptic activist Dr. Mona Roman in a televised interview on Al-Karma TV that the killers are their neighbors, who seized the opportunity of the mayhem prevailing in Egypt and the absence of police protection to slaughter the Copts. He said that he visited today the four injured Copts, who escaped death despite being shot, at Maghagha General Hospital and they told him that they recognized the main attackers as they come from the same village of Sharona. They gave the Bishop details of what happened."The two families were staying in their homes with their doors locked when suddenly the Islamists descended on them," said Bishop Agathon, "killing eleven and leaving for dead four other family members. In addition, they looted everything that was in the two Coptic houses, including money, furniture and electrical equipment. They also looted livestock and grain.".According to the Bishop the first group was led by Islamist Ibrahim Hamdy Ibrahim, who was joined by a gang of masked assailants. They accessed the roof of the house of Copt Joseph Waheeb Massoud through the roof of his Muslim neighbor Mahgoub el Khawaled. The armed men killed Joseph, his wife Samah, his 15-year old daughter Christine and 8-year-old son Fady Youssef.Another Islamist group led by Yasser Essam Khaled and several masked men simultaneously accessed the house of Copt Saleeb Ayad Mayez through the roof of his Muslim neighbor Mohamad Hussein el Khawaed. The Islamist shot dead Saleeb, his wife Zakia, his 4-year-old son Joseph, 3-year-old daughter Justina, his 23-year-old sister Amgad, mother Zakia and Ms. Saniora Fahim.Coptic activist Dr. Hanna Hanna views the Mubarak era with its policy of impunity to be the cause of why Copts are targeted. "Why have those Islamists chosen those two Coptic families and not Muslim ones to slaughter and rob? I believe it is because they know that with Copts they can literally get away with murder."Hmmm.....These are the Islamists that the Obama regime supports and want to talk with?Read the full story here.

They said China has also supplied components, systems and technology for Teheran’s ballistic missile program, a key element in the delivery of nuclear weapons.“We’ve asked China repeatedly to stop the flow of technology and components to Iran, and they haven’t done anything about it,” an official said.Officials said Western and United Nations sanctions have failed to stop China’s aid to Iran’s nuclear program.

• Obama delivers major speech on personal faith.President Barack Obama gave an unusually personal speech about his religious faith on Thursday, saying that "it is the biblical injunction to serve the least of these that keeps me going and keeps me from being overwhelmed," in address to a prayer breakfast in Washington.The speech, delivered at the National Prayer Breakfast, comes on the heels of public opinion surveys that show only a minority of Americans know that Obama is a Christian and that a growing number believe he's a Muslim."My Christian faith has been sustaining for me over the last couple of years and even more so when Michelle and I hear our faith questioned from time to time," the president said Thursday, referring to his wife. "We are reminded that ultimately what matters is not what other people say about us but that we are true to our conscience and true to our God."On Thursday, Obama spoke at length about his prayer life, saying his prayers fall into three categories: for those who are struggling, for personal humility, and to be closer to God."Under the radar there are of course those who would not tell the truth about him," said the White House official, who would not speak for attribution. "There are folks who have a misunderstanding of the president's faith and who repeat that misunderstanding."Hmmmmm......Where's the proof of his Baptism?Laying next to his birth certificate?Is Obama Baptised?Read the full story here.

• Turkish customs control on Iran border 'from Ottoman era,' cable says.Conditions at Turkish custom checkpoints on the Iranian border are from back in the time of Ottoman border crossings, a former U.S. ambassador is quoted as saying in a diplomatic cable recently released by WikiLeaks. The ambassador said the checkpoints lack any of the tools necessary to carry out modern customs work and leave the border open to anyone when their operational capabilities are not running optimally.The U.S. diplomatic cable dated September 2009 described former Ambassador to Ankara James Jeffrey’s visit to Van “to do research on potential development projects in eastern Turkey.” In addition to the meetings with local officials, Jeffrey and the U.S. officials visited the Gürbulak and Kapıköy border checkpoints with Iran.Jeffrey said the conditions at the border posts “varied starkly.” Jeffrey said in the cable, “Gürbulak had more modern conveniences and scanning equipment, while Kapıköy had no scanning equipment at all, and even the living arrangements seemed to be substandard.“Visiting Kapıköy, on the other hand, is like traveling back in time to an Ottoman border crossing, lacking any of the tools necessary to carry out modern customs work. In both posts, however, there is a sense that when operational capabilities are not running optimally – either because the power is out or because the capacity never existed in the first place – the border is left open to anyone who is not overtly suspicious,” according to Jeffrey.“Kapıköy is located due east from Van on the Iranian border in what could charitably be described as the middle of nowhere,” the cable said. It is the only train crossing from Iran for both goods and people.“The customs officers have two official vehicles at the checkpoint, but one was inoperable and there was no fuel for the other. When asked about smuggling in the railcars, as opposed to an individual trying to smuggle things in his baggage or on his person, the customs officials expressed surprise and asked why anyone would smuggle things in railcars.” Jeffrey also said the officials reported the lack of heavy lift equipment and manpower made checking the railcars for smuggled goods nearly impossible.Hmmmm.......Erdogan is Ahmadinejad handyman.....Open borders and banks ,get Turkey out of NATO NOW !Read the full treason story here.

• Ford stabbing the American Auto workers in the back,Goodbye North American jobs?Turkish firm's NY taxi bid marks a brilliant decade.The position of Karsan Otomotiv, a Turkish carmaker that serves Ford Motors, as a finalist for the bid to produce New York taxi cabs, caps a decade in which the country’s once little-known car industry has emerged as a regional powerhouse.With Ford planning to close its St. Thomas, Ontario, assembly plant that makes its large, rear-wheel-drive cars, New York is looking at other options for its taxis. Ford offers customers a version of the Transit Connect minivan built with Turkey’s Koç Holding at a seaside plant 100 kilometers from Istanbul. The Dearborn(istan), Michigan-based company began exporting the model from Turkey to the U.S. last year, selling the taxi version in 10 U.S. cities.New York’s taxi commission is evaluating “best and final offers” from the three finalists, said David Yassky, who chairs a committee of the New York mayor’s office tasked with selecting the winning bid. “The country of manufacture is not now, and has never been a criteria for taxi cabs. The now-predominant Crown Victoria is not American-made and none of the responses propose an American-made vehicle.”Hmmmm....Knowing Mayor Bloomberg's love for Islam and the Obama administrations love for Erdogan,i would say it's a given who will get the contract!Read the full story here.

• And now for something completely different!Shining white ball over Dome of the Rock sparks UFO debate.Pulsating orb descends swiftly and hovers before shooting up into the night sky at unbelievable speed.A shining ball of light has been filmed hovering above the Dome of the Rock, in footage which UFO enthusiasts say could finally prove aliens exist.The clips show the pulsating orb descend and hover above the Dome of the Rock, before shooting up into the night sky. It then descends again and disappears. Unusually, the sighting has been filmed from different viewpoints, meaning it has been more difficult to dismiss than most, the Daily Mail reported.The footage was taken in Jerusalem at 1am on Saturday morning and has spread like wildfire on the internet.It has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people and prompted fierce debate among UFO enthusiasts and sceptics.Former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope told The Sun: "If these are real, they are some of the most incredible videos ever shot."If they are not, then this is a very well-planned and co-ordinated hoax designed to eliminate elements of doubt."He said the way the object shoots up suggests it is unmanned: 'We know the Israeli army has some very high-tech drones at its disposal."If this is one, it is one of the most advanced pieces of technology created by man.Hmmmm.....You know some Islamic fanatics are going to use this as a signal.Read the full story here.More here.
