Iran will seize back assets from Great Satan:

Whenever the Iranian leadership, which began with Imam Khomeini, calls the USA the big Satan, Christians laugh without truly understanding what they are laughing at. USA, being the Big Satan, is biblically correct. It refers to the “Biblical Dragon” that gives power unto the Beast 666 (U.N.) and the so-called second Beast (NATO). Believe it or not, the USA is the beast behind the beasts. Both the U.N. and NATO are toothless beasts without the USA’s military power.  Without the USA, the Gulf War would never have happened, and hence, the destruction of Babylon (as described in the Book of Revelation) would not have commenced. 21 years and the destruction of Babylon (Iraq) still continues to unfold before our very eyes.

PressTV - Iran will seize back assets from Great Satan: Iran Cmdr.:

Iran will seize back assets from Great Satan: Iran Cmdr.

A senior Iranian commander has censured the blocking of Iran's assets by the US as “economic terrorism” and reaffirmed Tehran’s determination to seize its national wealth back by all means necessary.

“If it takes 50 years, we will take back the frozen assets in the US even if by force,” said Deputy Commander of Iran’s Armed Forces Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri on Tuesday. 

“The blocking of the assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran is economic terrorism and financial theft in which, unfortunately, the US is adroit like in other forms of terrorism and physical elimination of human beings,” he added. 

The Iranian commander noted that the US must be gullible to imagine that it has looted Iran's assets permanently, adding, “They should be sure that we will seize back our assets from the Great Satan.”

JUDGE the JUDGE of the SUPREME COURT

http://youtu.be/kBkM2N1XsNU

Judge the “Chief Judge” of the Supreme Court

If there is anything that P-Noy cannot be accused of, it is being a hostage to political patronage. Who knew about Robredo but the people of Naga, whom he served for 18 years? The DILG is one of the most sought-after departments in the government, especially for those with ambitions to advance their political careers, but P-Noy will not be deterred. He brought to the fore a city mayor who has no experience nationwide but whom he knew was as clean as a razor’s edge. He would deliver the kind of unblemished governance that he promised the Filipino people. The rest is now history. Jesse Robredo achieved in death what he did not achieve in life.

We certainly live in interesting times. We were treated to a few months of breathtaking afternoon dramatics, not to mention Santiago’s antiques that we all love to hate because she would follow it up with pick-up lines bordering on lewdness that will make you laugh. That, too, is now history, which ended with the Chief Justice being found guilty and therefore undeserving of staying on as Chief Justice.

While eulogies were being showered over Robredo’s coffin, P-Noy took a break from the wake and rendered the oath of office to the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Aside from “too young to be CJ” accusations, she scored low on a Psychological Test, which I find really naive and short-sighted. Her comparatively young age should not come as a surprise to anyone in the Aquino administration. Has anyone paused for a moment and taken a glimpse, I mean, really taken a close look at the P-Noy’s administration? It is a team of not-too-young-not-too-old individuals, in fact, where the young ones are teeming with energy, and the real action is taking place: Robredo (DILG), Tolentino (MMDA), Delima (DOJ), and now Sereno at the Supreme Court.

Psychological Tests are designed for the general population, meaning for the 90% of the dicks, Marys, and Harrys of the world, but hey, we are fishing for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. IQ test, not a psychological test, should be a better parameter for choosing the best of the best. The new CJ graduated valedictorian and Cum Laude at the UP College of Law and was number 14 in the Bar Examination, meaning the lady is a certified genius. She will score high on IQ tests but low on psychological tests because she will answer the same set of questions differently from the so-called average Dicks, Marys, and Harrys. The dividing line between genius and insanity is as thin as a spider's web. Let us pray that the Supreme Court justices, jealous of her youth, intelligence, and wit, will not unhinge her sanity because her genius will immensely benefit the country.

A BAFFLING COINCIDENCE OF FATE: THEN AND NOW

A BAFFLING COINCIDENCE OF FATE (BUSH&ARROYO THEN AND NOW)

2001

If we can measure a nation’s greatness by being in the news, Philippine has no rival in Asia. On the 20th of January, a new president was sworn in to replace a maligned president who was driven out of office by popular revolt. The weirdest of all however is the shroud of mystery that surrounds the new Philippine and new US president.

Bush [USA] and Arroyo [Phil..] took their oath on the same day. Both are children of former presidents. They both came into office most extraordinarily.
It was the Supreme Court of each country that intervened on their behalf after much legal wrangling. As soon as they were sworn into office, they each named an X-general as executive secretary. Although the Philippine president’s father died several years ago, she has former president Ramos acting as her guardian angel and ambassador at large, a role that the senior Bush is playing for his son. Ramos was the secretary of National Defense during the gulf war when millions of Filipinos and other aliens had to run for their lives. The 7th Fleet, the USA’s largest armada outside of the continental USA, was then based in the Philippines and saw action in the Gulf War. Most of the Aircrafts that bombed Iraq [Babylon] took off from bases in the Philippines and the 7th Fleet.

They each replaced presidents [Clinton/Estrada] who are known to be womanizers. The lower houses of Congress impeached both outgoing presidents, but their party mates in the Senate acquitted both. Citizens of both countries believe they were guilty. They were impeached, tried, and acquitted by the same set of laws. On January 29, 2001 while driving my children to school, a vendor held a newspaper to my face that reads, “Dr. Loi [Estrada] to run for the senate,” 

“It is too much of a coincidence,” I said turning to my wife with Hilary Clinton in my mind.

The Philippines, I believe, with its father figure, the United States, will play a significant role in the coming ‘apocalypse.’ The Philippines is the catholic bastion in Asia. Filipinos were once called the little brown Americans, but before that, Filipinos were called the misplaced Latin Americans. President Bush and President Arroyo should watch over each other’s because of the possibility that what happens to one will happen to the other. They share a common destiny, the meaning of which remains to be unraveled. 

President George W. Bush will visit the Philippines in November 2001.
========================================
A lot of things had happened ever since that is getting even weirder. Because of 9/11, there was no way President Bush could make the trip, but President Gloria Arroyo instead went to the USA. 

Like Hillary Clinton, Dr. Luisa Estrada ran for the Senate and won. 

Citizens of both countries continue to die in Iraq, although the Philippines withdrew its Military contingent when the Iraqi insurgents held a Filipino hostage.

Filipinos in the US military and civilian workers are among the continuing casualties of the Iraq quagmire.

They each have to fight Muslim terrorists (ABU SAYYAF/SIPADAN HOSTAGES), Islamic militants, extremists, and common criminals hiding in the shadow of Islam. 

Although the Philippine president holds office for a 6-year term, Arroyo had to run for office after 4 years because she took over when the former president had been in office for only 2 years. She and Bush ran in the same year and both won the presidential re-elections. A few months into the office, both encountered trouble, and their ratings equally plummeted to the 30-40% range. Arroyo for lying about winning the election, plus a ton of corruption charges, while Bush for lying about the Iraq war and a ton of other charges, including torture of prisoners that refuses to go away. An impeachment complaint against Arroyo was killed by her party mates in the lower house; similarly, an impeachment being contemplated by the Democrats against Bush didn’t progress beyond the lower house.


NOW:

Both Bush and Arroyo’s political parties lost the presidency to their opponents, but what is really unusual is that neither ex-president can leave their own countries. Arroyo faces corruption charges, while Bush fears being targeted by human rights groups that have accused him of human rights violations. Will the court also find GMA guilty of one of the many charges against her? :-)

Israel’s ‘Bomb Iran’ Timetable

The world has been predicting war with Iran for quite some time, actually for many years, but this time, the chance is greater than ever for self-evident reasons: the USA’s election. If Netanyahu bombs Iran, Obama will jump in for a winning vote. Americans’ twisted sense of patriotism has never voted out of office a wartime president, which is the reason why the attack will be timed shortly before the vote. Maybe, Americans this time will vote differently to show they are fools no longer (my wishful thinking) :-(

Bush to win re-election invaded Iraq, so will Obama invade Iran? The USA is an Empire that thrives on wars and destruction. For the USA to think that bombing Iran from a distance will do the job is laughably dreaming. USA is a beast that never learns from its past because, for one, you can never foretell how a nation under assault will stand to defend its territory, most of all, its honor. If the USA doesn’t invade Iran, Israel is finished unless either the USA or Israel nukes Iran, meaning Iran has few hidden bombs somewhere, and must be prepared to use its hidden bombs as well. Israel must never ignore the possibility that when the USSR disintegrated, few bombs found their way to Iran. I read about it many years ago.

Israel’s ‘Bomb Iran’ Timetable

By Ray McGovern

August 13, 2012 "Information Clearing House" --  More Washington insiders are coming to the conclusion that Israel’s leaders are planning to attack Iran before the U.S. election in November in the expectation that American forces will be drawn in. There is widespread recognition that, without U.S. military involvement, an Israeli attack would be highly risky and, at best, only marginally successful.

At this point, to dissuade Israeli leaders from mounting such an attack might require a public statement by President Barack Obama warning Israel not to count on U.S. forces — not even for the “cleanup.” Though Obama has done pretty much everything short of making such a public statement, he clearly wants to avoid a confrontation with Israel in the weeks before the election.

However, Obama’s silence regarding a public warning speaks volumes to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The recent pilgrimages to Israel by very senior U.S. officials — including the secretaries of state and defense carrying identical “PLEASE DON’T BOMB IRAN JUST YET” banners — has met stony faces and stone walls.

US police forces being Israelized: Gordon Duff

If the USA’s police force is being “Israelized,” then there must be a plan to “Palestinize” the American people; unfortunately, Americans are meek. They don’t have Palestinian balls to resist oppression.

Suppose you have been keen to observe how the USA conducts its wars. In that case, you will not miss how the USA has adopted Israel’s conducts of war in the occupied territories: punishment for the crime of thought, collective punishment, use of robots and drones to assassinate suspects regardless of how many innocent civilians are dead, economic strangulation of whole population, torture, total isolation and rendition of prisoners. 

Welcome to the world of Zionism. 

PressTV - US police forces being Israelized: Gordon Duff:

US police forces being Israelized: Gordon Duff

A military analyst says police departments in the United States are being trained by Israeli groups aiming to sink the country into total militarization and dictatorship, Press TV reports.

“Slowly, every police department in the United States, at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], is being trained by Israeli groups. As part of this training, there is an increased move to use of military uniforms, armored vehicles, heavy weapons, illegal surveillance, lying to the people, press and courts and systematic interference in the electoral system,” Gordon Duff wrote in an article on Press TV website. 

He went on to say that, the process of “Israelization” of police in the US includes several policies which “the new Israeli trained American police are tasked with stopping opposition to”.

“Total militarization of police, military tactics, utter disrespect for civil law, the constitution, civil liberties, freedom of speech and the unbridled growth of centralized power under unlimited corruption; government by money and organized crime. Systematic suppression of dissent...,” Duff noted.

Hoard of Gold Coins Uncovered in Crusader Castle: EMPIRE OF THE CALIPH

Look at This: Hoard of Gold Coins Uncovered in Crusader Castle | 80beats | Discover Magazine:

The Crusades were a time of religious conflict, when territory and castles were won with bloody battles and then quickly lost again—and with all that brouhaha, who had time to make new coins? When the Christian Knights Hospitaller buried a jug of 108 gold coins at the castle of Apollonia, a now-deserted stronghold north of modern-day Tel Aviv, they were probably hoping to preserve their hoard from the Egyptian soldiers then besieging the fortress. Although they never returned for their money, its recent discovery is telling researchers a lot about Crusader economics and raising new questions—like why the Christians used primarily gold dinars forged by the Fatimids hundreds of years earlier, rather than minting their own currency, something that would have demonstrated their wealth, power, and cultural identity. Many of the coins found in the crusader castle, oddly enough, are emblazoned with the names of Muslim sultans.

Judge awards 9/11 families 6 billion $: WILL IRAN PAY (LOL)?

The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum. This is a case of double compensation (LOL) because Bush and his gang of “Neocons” who were the masterminds from beginning to end of the events of 9/11 already paid the families of their dead victims 4 million dollars for each dead in fact some conned the government by falsely reporting family members as dead and running away with the 4 million dollars loot. 

Including Iran in the judgment as guilty of 9/11 is not only hilarious; it showed the judge to be a clown trying to deliver a punch line that is not so funny unless he sees the events of 9/11 as a government joke; a joke that destroyed Muslim nations beyond repair and killed and maimed millions of the faithful that God (better believe it) will not let go unpunished. USA as we speak is under siege by the 4 elements of nature…

Judge awards 9/11 families $6 billion - UPI.com:

Judge awards 9/11 families $6 billion

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A New York City judge awarded $6 billion to the families of Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack victims in their lawsuit against al-Qaida and parties in Iran.

U.S. Magistrate Frank Maas' Monday ruling was the first to impose civil penalties against those responsible for the 2001 terror plot that killed nearly 3,000 people, the New York Daily News reported.

JULY top 5; My Choice

PROHIBITION: THE PROPHET’S GREATEST VISION OF THE FUTURE

There is nowhere in the Qur’an where alcohol is mentioned explicitly as prohibited. It is noted that one should not pray when intoxicated.

Alcohol prohibition was the Prophet’s choice. When he was presented by angel Gabriel with 2 drinks, a glass of milk, and a glass of wine, the prophet took the glass of milk, upon which the angel said; You have chosen rightly. From now on, alcohol is prohibited among your Ummah.

There is not a day; not a single day that I watched TV Patrol without news of death due to alcohol intoxication like vehicular accidents, shooting incidents, mauling, hacking/stabbing incidents, child abuse, rape and a lot of other crimes not to mention a gamut of diseases caused by alcohol; liver cirrhosis, heart diseases, and malignancies. Alcohol is a curse; a potion of the demons.

We see a tiny fraction of the bigger picture in the news. We get to see what the media caught on the spot in Metro Manila, meaning we get to see just one street out of thousands of significant and minor roads in the city where drinking is going on 24/7, but hey, expand your imagination to the provinces and other cities, then further out to other countries. It is mindboggling. We live in a drunken world, but ah, not Muslim nations. The statistics of 2.5 million deaths should not include 1.2 billion Muslims, meaning 2.5 million of 5.5 billion, almost 500,000 deaths for every billion of the planet’s non-Muslim denizens.

Every year, because of Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.) impeccable vision of the future, he saves 500,000 Muslim lives, not to mention millions of injuries, some of whom would have severe disabilities. (Read the WHO statistics)

WHO | Alcohol:

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Alcohol

The harmful use of alcohol is a global problem that compromises both individual and social development. It results in 2.5 million deaths each year. Alcohol is the world’s third largest risk factor for premature mortality, disability, and loss of health; it is the leading risk factor in the Western Pacific and the Americas and the second largest in Europe. Alcohol is associated with many serious social and developmental issues, including violence, child neglect and abuse, and absenteeism in the workplace. It also causes harm far beyond the physical and psychological health of the drinker. It harms the well-being and health of people around the drinker. An intoxicated person can harm others or put them at risk of traffic accidents or violent behavior or negatively affect co-workers, relatives, friends, or strangers. Thus, the impact of the harmful use of alcohol reaches deep into society.

Harmful drinking is a major determinant for neuropsychiatric disorders, such as alcohol use disorders and epilepsy and other noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cirrhosis of the liver and various cancers. The harmful use of alcohol is also associated with several infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This is because alcohol consumption weakens the immune system and has a negative effect on patients’ adherence to antiretroviral treatment.

A significant proportion of the disease burden attributable to harmful drinking arises from unintentional and intentional injuries, including those due to road traffic accidents, violence, and suicides. Fatal injuries attributable to alcohol consumption tend to occur in relatively younger age groups.

Deaths caused by alcohol in the world - sources and methods

The data on alcohol abuse displayed on the Worldometers' counter is based on the latest statistics on worldwide deaths caused by alcohol published by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The harmful use of alcohol is a leading risk factor for premature death and disability in the world

According to WHO, worldwide alcohol causes 1.8 million deaths (3.2% of total) and 58.3 million (4% of total) of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). Unintentional injuries alone account for about one third of the 1.8 million deaths, while neuro-psychiatric conditions account for close to 40% of the 58.3 million DALYs.
