Who are the Shi'as? Iran is a Shi'a state, one of the countries that our White House has targeted for invasion, calling them a terrorist state. It could not be further from the truth. Recently, it was published in the news media that Iran had ceased nuclear weapons research four years ago. I already knew that. How? Because the Ayatollah said so! I want to ask you, what population in Iraq has been left to their own devices to protect themselves from being murdered by other Islamic Sects? The Shi'a, of course, with the pull out of British forces. Even a half blind person visiting Iran does not find the kind of repression found in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. Women do wear the Burkha but are not required to do so. They openly and freely do jobs that are done by men and wear western clothing. Where is the world's largest Jewish community outside of Israel? Right smack in the middle of Iran and they are allowed to move about and worship as they please. The same can be said for the Christians that live there. Why? Because according to the Prophet, if one is willing to obey the laws and to pay the just POOR TAX, they are free to come and go and worship as they please in Muslim lands. No harm would come to them from their Muslim brethren and Muslims would lay their life down to defend and protect them. The Shi'a still stand by those admonishments by the Prophet. But, what Sunni or Sect or Cult of Sunni would? Probably none is the correct answer. Yet the American citizen is to believe that the Sunni are our friends and the Shi'a are our enemies, to the point we are told that Iran's destruction is crucial to the prevention of World War III.

 

The Prophet often said that the Christian was the true brother of the Muslim. Of course the Christians he knew back then were far removed, by distance and heritage, from what the Church had become. I wonder if he could say the same thing today? Not likely.

 

As for the Hebrew and the current matters present in Israel, I am absolutely mortified not only in the way the Israeli government has conducted itself in the past, but the way in which it continues to WAGE WAR against the Palestinian people, subsidized entirely by our government. For years, if a child was arrested in the streets for throwing rocks at troops, the Israeli response was to locate the child's parents and then just bulldoze their home into rubble. In a twist on this same theme, Palestinians are required to register with the Israeli government and register their orchards. Then they are required to obtain a “permission” to physically work their orchard. After a couple years with no “permission” forthcoming, the Israeli government just sets out one morning to level the orchard with bulldozers because the farmer didn't have a “permission” to operate it.

 

Recently reported, several villages and townships within territories already given to the Palestinians were visited by Israeli bulldozers and leveled because they had not gotten the proper permits from Israel to construct their homes within their own land. Follow up news stories showed elderly Palestinians demonstrating at a long abandoned Check Point within the territories in question about the treatment they were given at the hands of the Israeli government, who were then promptly arrested and carried to prison by Israeli troops for demonstrating without a permit. Folks, this is Palestinian land, not Israeli.

 

Our own population continues to suffer for lack of needed infrastructure expenditures, not to mention the fact that health wise our nation has fallen below that of several third world countries, based on U.N. Figures, with a greater percentage of infants dying in Washington, DC, than who die in Bangladesh. Yet, the U.S. Continues to pour BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars into Israel for the purposes of building settlement homes for Israeli citizens. In every instance when lands were given over to the Palestinians, these settlement homes were bulldozed supposedly because Palestinians would not want to live in a home that an Israeli had previously occupied. Yeah, right. Please tell me another story.

 

Even today, a view of any map of either the Gaza Strip or the West Bank reveals hundreds of spider like arms extending into those lands which represent Israeli settlements, each one guarded and patrolled by Israeli troops. Now we see the huge walls being constructed between the so-called Palestinian lands and Israel proper, dotted with Israeli Armed Check Points whose sole purpose is to CONTROL not only the population but the resources that are allowed either in or out of those lands.

 

Well folks, it has taken about 34 years for someone to finally do it, wage war against a people using Population and Resources Control. I know all about it, back in '72and '73 when SEADOC used the facilities of the United States Army Military Police Advanced Officer School at Fort Gordon, Georgia to bring together Command General Officers from the U.S., the U.K., Israel and Russia to plan this very thing. Yes, I was there when it was stated that this would be the most humane way of fighting the next great war, to control the population and their resources without resorting to armed violence. Wonder how humane the Palestinians feel about it with their children and elderly dieing for lack of medical care, or their hungry bellies grumbling, or maybe shivering for lack of fuel oil, or just the inability to travel back and forth to jobs or food outlets?

 

These are just not the actions of Hebrews who worship a “just” God, but the political actions of a Jewish Cult, the Zionists, who believe only their seed from Abraham should prevail in the land, completely ignoring the seed of Abraham which begat his eldest son, Ishmael.
