PIRATES CAPTURED AN “IRANIAN DIRTY BOMB?”

Does Israel, amongst others have an undisputed causes belli against Iran? If the story that an Iranian ship carrying dirty bomb materials has been captured by Al Qaeda holds up, she sure does. At the moment the ship is in Muscat and the sailors on board are being released. The US has facilities in Muscat, hence one can hope that it has had the opportunity not only to inspect the cargo but also make sure it will not going to cause any harm.

But let’s start from the beginning. MV Iran Deyanat […]

Morgantini über alles

Lo scorso 9 novembre, nel 69° anniversario della Kristallnacht, il pogrom antiebraico nazionalsocialista che costituì “l’inizio dell’Olocausto” (Deborah Weiss), è stata pubblicata sulla National-Zeitung (“Giornale nazionale”, con sede a Monaco di Baviera) un’intervista a Luisa Morgantini*, vicepresidente del Parlamento europeo, attivista antisionista, e gran sostenitrice dello stragista antisemitico arabo Marwan Barghouti.

La National-Zeitung, secondo la versione tedesca di Wikipedia, pubblica principalmente “articoli minimizzanti sul passato tedesco del nazionalsocialismo, prendendo soprattutto le difese della Wehrmacht. Secondo i critici del giornale, [vi] si fomentano risentimenti contro gli ebrei con titoli stereotipati e con articoli antisemitici e in altri articoli si attaccano lo stato di diritto democratico e i suoi rappresentanti”.

Fra i “critici” della National-Zeitung va annoverato anche l’Ufficio federale per la tutela della Costituzione (Verfassungsschutz). L’intervista a Morgantini è intitolata “‘Israel praktiziert Apartheid’“. Non serve la traduzione del titolo, credo, e il contenuto dell’intervista è fatto delle consuete insinuazioni che si possono leggere anche quotidianamente in italiano, per es. su il manifesto, Liberazione ecc.

Tuttavia, un particolare dell’intervista va forse rilevato come ulteriore esempio della straordinaria logica di certi combattenti di sinistra alleati degli sterminatori odierni di ebrei. Disse la Morgantini, vicepresidente del parlamento europeo, al giornale antisemita, con buona pace di quest’ultimo:

Io, però, non sono un’antisemita, bensì la figlia di un partigiano il quale nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale combatté nelle montagne d’Italia contro la Wehrmacht tedesca.

L’antifascismo, quindi, la Luisa ce l’ha nel DI ENNE A, niente da fare, è scientifico.

Inoltre la Luisa confessò a quel giornalaccio di essere “cresciuta […] con il ‘Diario di Anne Frank’ che giaceva sotto il mio cuscino”. E quindi, cari giovani aspiranti a fare i massacratori di ebrei senza volere passare da antisemiti, se non potete più contare su genitori, bensì magari solo su un bisnonno partigiano, non dimenticatevi di ficcare, per un certo periodo, un esemplare del Diario di Anne Frank sotto il cuscino, il che vi aiuterà. Così i sionisti avranno molta difficoltà a sostenere che voi siate degli antisemiti e non semplicemente dei combattenti ‘contro l’apartheid’, ‘contro l’occupazione’, ‘per la Palestina’, ‘per la giustizia’, ‘per la pace’ ecc. blabla.

È comodo, no? Poi non vi costa quasi niente.

“Iran is just a heartbeat away from the A-bomb”

Sep. 18, 2008
Caroline Glick , THE JERUSALEM POST

[…] Last Friday the Daily Telegraph reported Teheran has surreptitiously removed a sufficient amount of uranium from its nuclear production facility in Isfahan to produce six nuclear bombs. Given Iran’s already acknowledged uranium enrichment capabilities, the Telegraph‘s report indicates that the Islamic Republic is now in the late stages of assembling nuclear bombs.

It would be a simple matter for Iran to assemble those bombs without anyone noticing. US spy satellites recently discovered what the US believes are covert nuclear facilities in Iran. The mullocracy has not disclosed these sites to the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, which is charged with inspecting Iran’s nuclear sites.

As to the IAEA, this week it presented its latest report on Teheran’s nuclear program to its board members in Vienna. The IAEA’s report claimed that Iran has taken steps to enable its Shihab-3 ballistic missiles to carry nuclear warheads. With their range of 1,300 kilometers, Shihab-3 missiles are capable of reaching Israel and other countries throughout the region.

L’Italia è campione d’Europa (2)

In un post recente avevamo riferito che “a detta del comandante italiano Graziano, [l’hezbollah] collabora tanto bene con l’UNIFIL nel Libano“. Ci siamo invece dimenticati di aggiungere che il generale Graziano sembra soffrire di una falsa modestia veramente fuori luogo, poiché anche il rovescio della medaglia, e cioè il fatto che, viceversa, anche l’Unifil non collabora maluccio con i terroristi dell’hezbollah, è, per così dire, carino. Ad esempio, all’inizio di marzo

attivisti armati di hezbollah […] che guidavano un autocarro pieno d’esplosivi, minacciarono il battaglione italiano dell’UNIFIL con le armi. Invece di usare la forza, come richiesto dal loro mandato, i soldati dell’Onu abbandonarono il posto.

L’organizzazione antisemitica Hezbollah, da parte sua, secondo una dichiarazione recente del suo segretario generale Nasrallah, si considera tuttora in guerra con Israele (“die Jüdische” del 05/09/2008) e sembra anche più massicciamente armata di prima di quella nuova “missione di pace” voluta da gente come Prodi, D’Alema e Rice.

Dire che uno più uno fa due, e cioè che l’UNIFIL è servito e serve a camuffare e con ciò a sostenere i preparativi di guerra di sterminio dell’Iran contro Israele, sarebbe tuttavia molto esagerato. E sarebbe ancora peggio dire che tutto questo sarebbe stato previsto già dall’allora presidente di consiglio Romano Prodi quando si impegnò tanto per impedire ad Israele di sconfiggere efficacemente quelli che intendono annientarla, arrivando perfino a proporre come mediatore per la risoluzione “pacifica” del conflitto fra Hezbollah e Israele proprio un rappresantante dei tele-comandanti dei terroristi jihadisti, l’iraniano Ali Larijani.

Eh no: e non si può proprio dire che, come ebbe a dire il defunto presidente del Consiglio centrale degli Ebrei in Germania, Paul Spiegel, “dietro il grido di pace si trincerano gli assassini”! Non si può!

Srebrenica – still questions?

I certainly don’t agree with all the views expressed at that site, especially as far as some (tendentially) anti-Semitic, anti-Western and outright anti-American statements are concerned, and supposed parallels with the opposite, e.g. the Western Iraq intervention, and cartoons which are at least to be called stupid. But for people who are suspicious of the Srebrenica myth and who have the impression or the fear that “Srebrenica” could really have something to do with Auschwitz, but in a more intricate way than the mainstream media and many politicians have been trying to tell the public for more than a decade now, it can be a good starting point.

Hitler, in his “political last will”, said that a main mistake of his could have been that he had failed in forging a more audacious alliance with Islam. And it is doubtlessly quite audacious, at least for an International “war crimes court”, to base its assumptions and accusations on dubious testimonies, media propaganda, and at least exaggerated numbers, while isolating the supposed misdeeds (“massacres”) from the context in which they took place, if they happened at all.

In my view, the pattern is exactly the same as in the case of “criticism of Israel” and exactly as dangerous. While the “best” combination of both, as far as I know, can be found in the BBC, where often, when they talk about the Serbs, who supposedly can never be trusted, really seem to be some kind of “Jew substitutes”, whom you may accuse of any kind of immoral behavior without fear of being held responsible for your own immoral deeds or lack of courage, and whom you may humiliate as long as you like, just because, as a raging British soldier told me in the early 1990’s in order to justify his refusal to think by himself: “The whole world is against the Serbs”.

Dutch Soldiers to Testify in Karadzic’s Defense

“In Srebrenica at the time we had to protect ourselves from the Bosnian Muslims, rather than protect the Muslims from the Serbs”, Dutch soldiers who served as UN peacekeepers in Srebrenica during the Bosnian civil war said in Belgrade. Photo: Dutch battalion in Srebrenica, 1995.

[…]

Some 15 Dutch soldiers of the former Netherlands battalion stationed in Srebrenica during the Bosnian civil war came to Belgrade on Wednesday, offering to testify in the Hague tribunal on behalf of Dr. Karadzic, a member of Radovan Karadzic’s defense team Milivoje Ivanisevic told Vecernje Novosti.

“We talked about their possible testimony. They stressed that the Serbs did not commit war crimes against the Muslim civilians when they were passing through several dozen of their villages [in Srebrenica municipality] the Dutch soldiers were securing. They came over at their own expense and said they will testify and invite more of their fellow soldiers to testify too. They left Belgrade on Thursday,” Ivanisevic said.

To see how relevant their testimonies would be, Ivanisevic talked to each Dutch soldier who came to Belgrade, individually, about when and where he was and what was he doing. Asked by Vecernje Novosti why haven’t they showed up before to say what really happened in Srebrenica, Ivanisevic said he didn’t pose that question, but added that Dutch soldiers complained there is a complete repression against them in Holland that had lasted for the past 10 years because they are blamed for allegedly “failing to protect Srebrenica”.

“Perhaps the things are finally getting ripe now”, Ivanisevic said. “They told me they came here in apprehension and worried, because they expected to be hated in Serbia just like back home. They said in Srebrenica at the time they had to protect themselves from the Muslims, rather than protect Muslims from the Serbs. Serb Army, according to them, was helping the Muslim women and their children, bringing them food and water”, Ivanisevic conveyed the conversation he had with Dutch soldiers who were stationed in Srebrenica in 1995.

Achtung Wikipedia-Umma: Alarmstufe Rot!

Unter http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belagerung_von_Sarajevo findet sich die Aussage (Hvhbg. von mir):

Streitkräfte der bosnischen Serben bombardierten zivile Ziele der jeweils anderen Volksgruppe in Sarajevo. Darunter auch das Haupthospital, Moscheen, Kirchen und viele weitere Ziele.

Wenn man schon auf Hobbyhistoriker zurückgreift, die noch wissen, dass rund die Hälfte der Einwohner der Stadt Serbinnen und Serben waren, dann ist doch wohl mindestens dreifaches Redigieren unerlässlich!

Das “jeweils” bitte schnell streichen! Die Kirchen vielleicht besser auch. Könnte verwirren.

Danke!

Even tiny Malta recognizes so-called Kosovo now!

Yes and with an interesting pass-partout justification:

Foreign Minister Tonio Borg said Kosovo was being recognised because there was no other alternative for the region following the events of the past 10 years.

Given that the first on-line comment (and further fatherly völkisch instigation)

Well done, Dr Borg! What is Malta’s position on the Georgia conflict (Abkhazia & Ossetia)?

on that news on timesofmalta.com came from somebody with a quite-German-sounding name (Martin Büttner), it might perhaps be good to remind the few people who would like to know what kind of events have happened continuously in the region over the past 10 years – even if Mr. Borg may not have meant exactly the events that happened in that region itself. The following is just one example.

In Kosovo, meanwhile, U.S.- and German-led NATO has helped the Albanian Muslims cleanse just about all the Christians (except the ones in the last remaining Serbian stronghold of Northern Mitrovica — which we’ll be beating into submission to Muslim-Albanian rule in a few weeks). Specifically, recall the story of how German NATO were placing yellow crosses on the homes of the remaining Serbs in Albanian-dominated areas. This way, the Albanians knew which homes to firebomb or harass until the occupants left:

Early next morning we went in German KFOR jeeps to visit the nearby village of Mushnikovo [in Zupa valley]… I noticed that the doors of the surrounding houses had yellow markers on them. On some houses it looked like an X, on others it looked like a cross. I asked the German soldiers what these yellow crosses were doing on these doors. I received an answer I could scarcely believe. The young soldier, whom I later photographed, informed me that these were used to denote that Serbs lived in these houses. He said that people had to know which houses were inhabited by Serbs. I wondered why? So I then said to him. “You mean that you are highlighting the fact the Serbs are living in these houses by putting yellow crosses on their doors”. He nodded. I could hardly believe what I was hearing. The previous night the church and the house across from the church had been attacked by rocket propelled grenades and here was German KFOR marking out the houses which were later attacked by extremists. This seemed incomprehensible to me. I pointed out that they were denoting the religious affiliation of these people and outlining the fact that these were Christians in a predominantly Muslim village. I pointed out to the soldier that this was not the first time in their history that the German army had put markers on the doors of people perceived as unter-menschen.
…
Shortly afterwards, a German army officer came and asked me what my problem was. I pointed out that I was not the one with the problem. He explained that the reason that the yellow crosses were on the doors of the houses [was] that these houses had been searched for weapons and unexploded ordinance and were deemed “free’ of weapons. It was then that I really began to wonder if these people in charge really knew what they were doing. The Muslims, both Slavs and Albanians, in the village had no such markers on their houses. They had complete freedom to travel wherever they liked throughout Kosovo and harass and intimidate innocent members of other communities. The Serbs in the village had no such freedom of movement. I was aware that the Serbs and Roma and others were being cleared out of their villages and towns all around Kosovo and I wondered what information the KFOR soldiers on the ground were receiving from the NATO high command. Were they still being fed the propaganda that the few remaining elderly Christian Serbs were the enemy or were the threat?

But fear not. In Malta itself now at least

L’Italia è campione d’Europa…

… almeno per quanto riguarda gli affari con l’unico Stato del mondo – l’Iran – il cui scopo dichiarato è la cancellazione di Israele dalla carta geografica, che a tale scopo sta cercando di costruirsi la bomba atomica e che allo stesso scopo ha creato l’Hezbollah che, a detta del comandante italiano Graziano, collabora tanto bene con l’Unifil nel Libano. Il titolo di “campione europeo segreto” potrebbe spettare invece alla Germania, visto che quest’ultima sta svolgendo una parte crescente dei suoi affari con i mullah attraverso paesi terzi.

“Kosovo Light” in the UK

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent – which included wearing Muslim headgear – was a breach of their human rights.

Kosovo: proposta di lettura per il sig. Giuliano Ferrara

che sa l’inglese e che ammirava tanto il sig. Massimo D’Alema per avere saputo portare la sinistra italiana a una guerra (forse quasi fino a quando camminò pubblicamente a braccetto con l’hezbollah).

Poiché a che tipo di guerra (guarda caso) il D’Alemah ha portato la sinistra o il governo di centro-sinistra italiano di allora lo spiega bene Julia Gorin:

For the past eight years, I’ve been in a lonely place politically. I don’t mean the kind of lonely that conservatives generally find themselves in. I’m talking about utter desolation, for there are just as few conservatives as liberals where I’ve been. One of the only non-Serbian Americans to do so, I watched with steady interest for the better part of a decade the clockwork predictability of the fallout from our forgotten Kosovo intervention, a bombing campaign against an emerging post-Communist democracy rooted in Judeo-Christian values–on behalf of tribalistic, blood-code-following nominal Muslims claiming oppression and no less than genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Watching the Albanians predictably move on to terrorize Macedonia within a few months of our intervention that would “contain” the conflict, and then watching Albanians turn their weapons on NATO peacekeepers within 18 months, I wondered what it would take to get a national discussion going about that huge, self-destructive debacle. What would it take to have the debate that, it must be said despite my hobby of mocking Europeans, the German public had in 2001 when it put its politicians’ feet to the fire after learning the hoax that their country had been party to, thanks to a German documentary unapologetically titled “It Began with a Lie.”

No war going on? Caroline Glick about the “policy of denial”

The reality is that Iran has been actively engaged in confronting the US and its allies since 1979. And in every theater of action, it is Iran that has been calling all of the shots. A US strike against the terror training facilities in Iran would mark the first time that the US has ever seized the initiative in Iran’s war against it and against the rest of the free world. So opposing such a strike is not an argument against confrontation, but an argument against acknowledging the existence of Iran’s ongoing war against the US.

Techniktipp: Defragmentierungsprogramm

Die besten Systemtools sind wohl diejenigen, deren Existenz man nach einer Weile fast vergisst, z.B. weil sie ihre Arbeit automatisch und gut tun. Nach meiner Erfahrung fällt das Freeware-Defragmentierungsprogramm IObit SmartDefrag in diese Kategorie. Was Windows XP betrifft, jedenfalls. Dank diesem vergisst man endlich auch den nervenden Zweifel, ob es nicht längst wieder einmal an der Zeit wäre, die Festplatte zu defragmentieren. Das Programm sorgt selbst dafür, dass die jeweils zuletzt benutzten Dateien und Programme flink bleiben bzw. es wieder werden.

Sanzioni costruttive Ue: uno a zero per l’Iran

Hitler ha imposto agli uomini nello stato della loro illibertà un nuovo imperativo categorico: organizzare il loro agire e pensare in modo che Auschwitz non si ripeta, non succeda niente di simile. Theodor W. Adorno, Dialettica negativa

A quanto pare, l’Europa ha appena perso definitivamente un’importante e probabilmente irripetibile occasione storica. Sarebbe stato tanto facile: si avrebbe potuto giustificare la misura adducendo che – prima o poi – una seppur cauta riduzione delle forniture dei prodotti in questione all’Iran lo avrebbe probabilmente reso docilissimo e dispostissimo addirittura a un “dialogo finale”, evitando in extremis un’altra guerra catastrofica scatenata da “quei guerrafondai degli Stati uniti” (Antonio Di Pietro) dopo che, come lo ha espresso Joschka Fischer, l’Europa ha agito per anni come “scudo protettivo” per gli “interessi strategici di sicurezza” degli iraniani. Invece, ora, l’Iran, probabilmente spazientito dalla lunga attesa per una tanto coraggiosa quanto dolorosa mossa “soft power” da parte dei paesi Ue, stando a quanto riferisce il Blog Deutsch-Iranisches Forum, pare già averli superati tutti, cominciando a boicottarsi pesantemente da solo. Infatti, nel “forum” sopra citato si legge che Continue reading Sanzioni costruttive Ue: uno a zero per l’Iran

German “freedom” (and “national health”)

In the year 2008

a former SS doctor accused of sending 900 sick children to their deaths under the Nazi euthanasia programme has been awarded a German medical association’s highest honour.

[…]

He was given the Guenther-Budelmann medal by the German Federation of Internal Medicine for “unequalled services in the cause of freedom of the practice and the independence of the medical profession and to the nation’s health system”.

Not in 1944. And while the former “axis” powers Germany (including annexed Austria) and Italy are among the best business partners of a State (Iran) which is planning and working for the extermination of the Jews.

Stop the Bomb: “Protest against deals with Iran continues”

The campaign STOP THE BOMB – Coalition against the Iranian extermination programme has been mobilizing against a contract with Iran which the Austrian Mineral Oil Company (OMV) is planning to conclude. The campaign started an international online petition, which has been undersigned – amongst other prominent personages – by Elfriede Jelinek, Elie Wiesel and Imre Kertész, Albert Steinnhauser and Maria Vassilakou of the Austrian Green Party, and more than 4.300 other people from more than 60 countries. Now STOP THE BOMB requests in an open letter to the Federal Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Austrian Republic to quit political support for deals with the Iranian regime. Considering statements given by Iranian opposition groups that at present a high-ranking delegation of OMV is staying in Iran to negotiate the concern’s planned 22 billion Euro deal with the Regime, STOP THE BOMB answers with an open letter referring to a writing by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to our campaign. In this letter Thomas Mayr-Harting, political director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, describes the Austrian posoition regarding Iran and tries implicitly to legitimise deals of Austrian companies with Iran.

Perché l’Hezbollah (e cioè l’Iran) ha vinto il Libano

Per rendere possibile il facile trionfo di Hezbollah era necessario che moltissime forze voltassero le spalle alle forze democratiche del Libano. Era necessario che moltissimi attori facessero finta di non vedere il riarmo di Hezbollah finanziato dall’Iran e dalla Siria durante gli ultimi due anni. Era necessario che moltissimi attori ignorassero e, con ciò, esacerbassero le debolezze interne del movimento del 14 marzo e del governo Siniora da esso creato. Era necessario che moltissimi paesi ed organizzazioni internazionali accettassero la finzione che l’esercito libanese ricevesse i suoi ordini dal governo libanese eletto.
