BRITAIN STARTS WORLD WAR 3







Syria: If US Attacks Us, We'll Attack Israel
A top Syrian official said Monday that if attacked, his country would react – against Israel

By David Lev 
August 26, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "Israel National News" - As talk and rumors of an impending Western attack against Syria mount, a top Syrian official said Monday that if attacked, his country would react – against Israel.

Speaking to an Arabic-language radio station operated by the United States, Syria's Deputy Information Minister Halaf Al-Maftah said that Israel would face not only Syria in the event that the US, Britain and France attempted to unseat Bashar al-Assad. A coalition consisting of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria would respond to any attack against Assad with a response against Israel. In addition, terrorist groups in Syria and Lebanon would attack Israel with full force.

Al-Maftah added that Syria has “strategic weapons” that it would use in its attack on Israel. He did not specify what those weapons were.

“Syria is ready to deal with all scenarios,” said Al-Maftah. “We consider these declarations of a possible attack as a form of psychological warfare and pressure on Syria. We are not worried about them. We hope that those threatening us will listen closely to what we are saying. We believe that the only solution for the Syrian issue is a political one,” he added.

In recent days, the U.S. has sent warships off Syria's coast, with the assumption being that they were waiting for word from the White House to attack Syria and remove Assad from power. Over the weekend, the U.S. Navy expanded its presence in the Mediterranean Sea with a fourth cruise-missile-armed warship.

Any meaningful publicly made counter-threat sufficient to give the US/UK/Israeli Axis of Evil pause will need to come in the form of a strongly worded statement from the Iranian/Chinese/Russian Axis of Sanity promising an immediate and robust counter strike -- and it will need to come soon.

Otherwise, Syria will go the way of Libya, and Iraq.

No playground bully ever lets up until he gets his nose good and bloodied. Same thing here.

Good. It's about time someone gave Israel some very big stick. Maybe in the end bloodying the bullies' noses is the only way that the Axis of Sanity, as Kurt O calls it in his comment, can make any headway on behalf of us all who abhor the bullies' reprehensible behaviour. Come on Iran, Russia and China! What are you waiting for? You have the means. Stop these interfering foreign invaders in their tracks!

The nuclear and extensive munition stockpiles of Isreal are
vulnerable to the "Camp Falcon" Iraqi virus...and in addition
the infrastructure of such a small country is indefensiveable in a
massive assualt by outside interests....who knows some third
party with a few nukes may decide to deactivate Dimona...
along with whatever remaining other nuclear offensive capability

INTERNMENT ; Which Side Are You On ? PROVIE






Martin Galvin letter to the Irish News on 16 August 2013.
                                                              
   
The injustices which drew so many nationalists to the streets on Internment Day in Belfast must not be overlooked because of loyalist reaction. Internment Day had long been a day to march against British injustice. The symbolism was self-evident.

Internment went beyond imprisonment without charge or trial which began on August 9, 1971. British forces had shot down those who got in the way at Ballymurphy, hooded and tortured selected internees, and then given their final answer to Internment protests on “Bloody Sunday.” Compton and Widgery rubber-stamped it all.

Internment revealed Britain’s willingness to mete out and cover-up injustice whenever it served British interests. After Internment became untenable, it was replaced by Diplock Courts, forced confessions and a thinly veiled conveyor belt to the H-Blocks or Armagh.




As the first step in Britain’s new system, Republicans were arrested, denied bail on flimsy pretexts and taken off the streets for lengthy periods before trial. Often the charges were dismissed or case collapsed. Republicans during the 1970s coined the phrase ‘Internment by Remand’ to describe this tactic. Today the British have updated Internment by Remand. Some waited as long as three or four years to be acquitted.

For years, Internment Day marches were a launching pad for successive campaigns supporting Republican prisoners against each new British injustice. In recent times the Internment Day rallies were wound down then ended, perhaps in hopes that new structures including a compromised justice ministry and constabulary boards could be worked to end British repression from within.

There is no question that the number of Republicans wrongfully imprisoned today is dramatically less than in the past. However the plight of any Republican prisoners, who are victims of injustice and of their families, is not eased because there are fewer of them.

During past Internment Marches, Republican speakers repeatedly charged that British rule was irreformable and that nationalist politicians who joined the British system would end up as partners in its injustices. Perhaps those who taught me and so many others that truth were reminded of it on Internment Day.
