Video - Hezbollah Leader’s Broadcast address unwittingly Revealed Important Intell About His Security Detail.





Algemeiner reports that the video was significant, according to Israeli intelligence analyst and Intelli Times blogger Ronen Solomon. Solomon, who has been observing Nasrallah’s security detail for years, said the video exposed elements of three circles of protection around the Hezbollah leader.
The first is Nasrallah’s personal protection unit, made up of many bodyguards, selected from Nasrallah’s family members and trained in Iran — and possibly also in North Korea.
The second is comprised of snipers, spotters and undercover bodyguards. It provides the first circle with logistical support.
The third consists of an elite Hezbollah guerrilla unit, which clears and secures areas in which Nasrallah moves, with roadblocks, checkpoints and other strategic measures.
Keeping abreast of Nasrallah’s methods of protection is key to Israel, which has targeted the Hezbollah leader for years, according to PZM. Read the full story here.

Only 2 percent of pledged Gaza aid transferred ...So who's funding Hamas their Tunnel building?


Only 2 percent of pledged Gaza aid transferred ...So who's funding Hamas their Tunnel building? (HD).
Two months after donors pledged $5.4 billion to help rebuild Gaza after the war between Israel and Hamas, Palestinian, U.N. and other officials say barely 2 percent of the money has been transferred.    
The conference in Cairo had been hailed as a success, with Qatar promising $1 billion, Saudi Arabia $500 million and the United States and the European Union a combined $780 million in various forms of assistance.
   

Half was expected to go to rebuilding houses and infrastructure in Gaza destroyed during seven weeks of fighting, and the rest to support the Palestinian budget.
   
But of the total, only $100 million or so has been received, according to U.N. and other officials. While the EU and the United States have accelerated some funding that was already in the pipeline, very few new pledges have come to fruition.
   
"We have received funding and pledges of approximately $100 million for shelter and repair," said Robert Turner, director of operations for the U.N.'s Relief and Works Agency in Gaza.

"The Arab countries haven't paid anything until now," Mufeed al-Hasayna, the Palestinian housing minister, said this month. "The Europeans just a few millions, maybe something from the Swedes."
Hmmm....Why is UNWRA the first name that popped up in my mind? Turkey being Two...Iran number Three. Read the full story here.

Obama's BFF Erdogan : “No Peace Unless Hamas is Free”.


Obama's BFF Erdogan : “No Peace Unless Hamas is Free”.(FPM).By Daniel Greenfield.So much for the Obama Administration’s ham-handed efforts to force Israel to reconcile with the Islamist AKP regime in Turkey, which pretends to be bothered by Israel’s treatment of its fellow Hamas Islamists, when it isn’t butchering Kurds or threatening to ethnically cleanse Armenians. Erdogan has now made it clear that there will be no resumption of relations with Israel unless the blockade of Hamas run Gaza ends. Erdoğan, speaking in Kiev after talks with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, said Turkey has reminded anyone interested in mediating peace with Israel of its three conditions:
A formal apology for a… Israeli raid on May 31, 2010, on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara… compensation for families of those killed in the raid and the lifting of the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. “Normalization is out of the question if any of these [conditions] are not met. If all these three conditions are met, then we would say ‘yes’ to mediators. Otherwise, mediators should spare the effort,” he said.
You have to give Erdogan some credit. The cheap Islamist thug has learned everything he knows about negotiations from the West Bank and Gaza. First set insane pre-conditions to the talks and then say that only if they are met will you agree to the talks. Just to get Erdogan to the table, Israel would have to give Hamas an open sea for bringing in all the Turkish weapons it wants. And what exactly is he going to demand once Israel gets to the table?Hmmmm.......Erdogan stated “We stand by Hamas when they are right, because the Hamas movement is a resistance movement” “I do not see Hamas as ‘terrorist.’ They are people who defend the land, and it is a political group that entered the elections and won the elections.” Read the full story here.

Also left out of the Dem platform, and NOT ADDRESSES OR RESTORED:

"The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and abides by past agreements"

Anyone doubting what Obama and Erdogan talk about during their weekly phone calls?

"Sanctions That Benefit" - Iran denies Turkey’s 200,000 barrels per day Iranian oil buying jump.


"Sanctions That Benefit" - Iran denies Turkey’s 200,000 barrels per day Iranian oil buying jump.(TI).Iran's representative to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has denied the news claiming that Turkey's imports of Iranian crude oil increased to 200,000 barrels per day in August from around 50,000 bpd. "The data released by Reuters was not correct at all. The release of the data was politically-motivated. Its statistics on decrease or increase in oil exports are completely wrong," Mohammad-Ali Khatibi added, the ISNA news agency reported. On September 4, Reuters reported that Turkish imports of Iranian crude oil surpassed Turkey's 2011 average of 180,000 bpd in August. Around 200,000 bpd of Iranian crude oil were discharged at the import terminals Aliaga and Tutunciflik for Turkey's sole refiner Tupras. Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi has said that the country's oil output is projected to increase by 1.5 million bpd by 2016. All development plans related to joint oil and gas fields will by finalized by the end of the first half of the current Iranian calendar year (September 21), he added. In July, Qasemi announced that new oil reserves of up to 6 billion barrels have been discovered in southwestern Iran. The reserves are located around the Yadavaran oilfield in Khuzestan Province. With the new oil discovery, Iran's oil reserves stand at about 160 billion barrels. National Iranian Oil Company's managing director Ahmad Qalebani has said that the country's daily oil and gas outputs should amount to five million barrels and 1.47 billion cubic meters by 2015.Hmmm........Obama's BFF Turkey.......Who needs enemies with such 'Allies'.Read the full story here.

U.S. renews waivers of Iran sanctions for Japan, EU nations, No Word on Obama's BFF Turkey who does whatever it feels like.


U.S. renews waivers of Iran sanctions for Japan, EU nations, No Word on Obama's BFF Turkey who does whatever it feels like.(Reuters).
The renewal means banks in the 11 countries have been given a second 180 day reprieve from the threat of being cut off from the U.S. financial system under the sanctions designed to choke funding to Iran's nuclear program. The West suspects Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran insists the program is for civilian purposes. The sanctions law President Barack Obama signed in 2011 requires a review every six months of the waivers, which were given to all of Iran's major buyers throughout 2012. Japan, the world's third largest oil consumer, had taken significant steps to reduce purchases of Iranian crude, Clinton said. The cuts were "especially notable considering the extraordinary energy challenges" Japan faced after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, she said in a statement. Since then, Japan has had to burn more diesel fuel. In March, Japan was the first of Asia's top four buyers of Iranian crude to receive a U.S. waiver from the sanctions. Since then Japan has made deeper cuts in crude purchases from Iran. The State Department renewed exemptions on Friday to Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The European Union implemented a full embargo on Iranian crude and petroleum products on July 1.Hmmm.....Sanctions that Benefit Obama's BFF Turkey.Read the full story here.




Several large countries, including India and Turkey, said publicly that they were reluctant to reduce imports of Iranian oil because of their long reliance on the Islamic regime. They appear to have met the minimum level of cooperation that Washington demanded, however.How Much did Turkey actually 'reduce' it's inports??

Answer:
Before May, Turkey was the only buyer in Europe to increase purchases from Iran, while other European refiners cut back on imports of the crude ahead of an impending EU oil embargo due to take effect from July 1.In the first four months of 2012, Turkey imported 210,000 barrels per day of Iranian oil on average, including a huge 270,000 bpd in March, much higher than its 2011 average of 185,000 bpd.

In May Turkey's state-controlled refining company, Tupras, imported around 140,000 barrels per day (bpd), a 20 percent drop from its 2011 average, according to the latest shipping data, obtained by Reuters. Port data showed 152,000 tonnes of Iranian crude was delivered to the port of Aliaga in May, while 443,000 tonnes of Iranian crude was delivered to its second import terminal, Tutunciflik. Tupras is expected to import the same volume in June.
From July 1, Turkey will remain effectively the sole buyer of Iranian crude in Europe. Official trade data showed that in the first four months of this year, Iran accounted for about 58 percent of Turkey's near 6 million tonnes in total crude imports.

Obama's BFF Erdogan: “We are observing that extreme rightist moves and racism target Muslims, this time Europe-wide; we are worried that it will escalate in Europe,”


Obama's BFF Erdogan: “We are observing that extreme rightist moves and racism target Muslims, this time Europe-wide; we are worried that it will escalate in Europe,”(HD).
President Barack Obama sent a personal message to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan asking him to speak out against the violence.
A film mocking Islam that has sparked protests across the Muslim world is a provocation that cannot be justified as freedom of expression but should not be used as a pretext for violence, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Sept. 14. “I want to remind the Muslims of the world one more time. The film was a serious provocation. Those who are resorting to violence should know that this is a provocation of Muslims and we reject it,” Erdoğan said in a speech at a conference in the Ukrainian Black Sea resort of Yalta. Erdoğan’s comments came after the anti-Islamic movie “Innocence of Muslims” sparked global protests and outrage in the Muslim world. “Legal and peaceful protest by Muslims is a useful and correct thing. But a protest cannot envisage any kind of violence or terrorism,” he said. Insulting the Prophet cannot be justified as freedom of expression,” said Erdoğan, adding that leaders should take necessary measures against those actions which cause provocation within society. “It cannot be a reason for innocent people to be attacked or harmed,” he said.
This is justified by nothing and, above all, not by Islam. No one can, in the name of Islam, carry out actions of the kind that happened in Libya with the attack on the U.S. mission [in Benghazi].” U.S. and Libyan officials are investigating an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that killed the ambassador and three other U.S. officials amid growing speculation that it was the work of militants rather than demonstrators.
The amateurish film denigrating the Prophet Muhammad has allegedly been linked to evangelical and Coptic Christians in the United States.
Erdoğan said he believed that it was not possible for U.S. President Barack Obama to approve of the film and added that the extremists who prepared the movie should be punished. Later on, Erdoğan met with the prime minister of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Anatoliy Mogilyov.
We are observing that extreme rightist moves and racism target Muslims, this time Europe-wide; we are worried that it will escalate in Europe,” Erdoğan said. 
Erdoğan also spoke about his views on global values and racism and said people should continue living in “multifariousness and unity” and stated that in order to achieve this, discrimination based on culture, religion and ethnicity should be rejected. Hmmmmmm......“Thank God Almighty,” said Mr. Erdogan in 1994, when he was the mayor of Istanbul. “I am a servant of Shariah.” Read the full story here.

Turkey not the 'exemption' but the 'Exception' in Obama's sanctions policy.





Turkey not the 'exemption' but the 'Exception' in Obama's sanctions policy.(HD).Turkey has struck a 1 million ton oil supply deal with Libya after reducing imports of Iranian crude under pressure from the United States and the international community, the Turkish energy minister said yesterday. Turkey’s oil refiner Tüpraş agreed to the deal with Libya and has also started negotiations with Saudi Arabia for a long-term contract, Yıldız said. The move comes after the United States said earlier that it would exempt seven emerging economies, including Turkey, from tough new sanctions after they cut oil supplies from Iran. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added India, Malaysia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Taiwan to the list of those exempt from the sanctions.
However, Reuters quoted a U.S. diplomat as saying that Turkey’s position did not stem from an exemption but was an exception. Tüpraş may pay 180 days more to the Iranian central bank over Turkey’s Halkbank, the diplomat said. The U.S. was observing whether Turkey would renew an oil contract with the Islamic republic by the end of August, the agency also quoted him as saying. Turkey has also been working on a project with Venezuela for months, under which the South American country would provide oil products to Turkey in exchange for the construction of housing there.Read the full story here.

U.S. exempts seven countries that consume Iran oil from sanctions.
Obama administration officials didn't say how much the seven countries had cut their oil purchases. In March, U.S. officials signaled that they were seeking reductions of 15% to 22% of purchases.

Several large countries, including India and Turkey, said publicly that they were reluctant to reduce imports of Iranian oil because of their long reliance on the Islamic regime.
