There will be a temporary
halt after today of our Twitter information, Spiritual Guidance and advice,
while we are in the process of moving
We hope all our dedicated
global followers will bear with us during this time of our transition and we
will be back with you soon
The US is to investigate
whether the militant group IS have used chemical weapons in Iraq
Secretary of State John Kerry
says it looks ‘extremely serious’
There have been allegations
that IS have attacked Iraqi police officers with chlorine gas last month
Additional persistent reports
from Iraq that IS have been using chlorine gas is further being voiced
Syria’s Bashar al-Assad has
used chemical weapons on a large scale
This was to avert the threat
of retaliatory action by western air strikes
The effect on Syrians has
been devastating
As recently as this August he
has used chemicals again
There is no end to this man’s
destruction of human life
Just before the massive US
bombing campaign of Iraq, it was discovered that the US and Britain…
…had secretly built a germ
weapons arsenal for Iraq to use against Iran in the eight year Iran-Iraq war
It is US and Britain’s
breath-taking hypocrisy against Iraq’s supposed WMD (weapons of mass
destruction) that never existed
Both George W Bush and Tony
Blair remonstrated against Saddam Hussein’s weapons programme
While at the same time
failing to mention their construction of germ weapons arsenal that they gave to
him
British scientists had been
employed at Iraq’s top secret Salman Pak chemical and bio warfare laboratory
near Baghdad
Their goal was to develop and
weaponize anthrax, plague, botulism and other pathogens for use as tactical
germ weapons
The Anglo – American view is
chemical and biological weapons are fine – so long as they are used against
Muslim Iranians
Used against westerners, they
would be denounced as ‘terrorism’
The US media has never
reported this story or Washington’s secret backing of their old ally Saddam
Hussein
Few American’s know anything
of their deadliest bio warfare weapon used in Iraq, where US airpower on Iraq’s
water and sewage systems…
…a crime that led to the
deaths according to UN officials of over 500,000 Iraqis, mostly children, from
contaminated water
Iraq is still poisoned by
depleted uranium munitions fired by US forces
John Kerry’s despicable hypocritical
statement that…
…‘the use of any chemical
weapon is an abhorrent act’ and it goes against International Law
It is the Western powers who
have prevented Iraq from importing chlorine to purity filthy, pest-ridden water
They are claiming that chlorine
could be used in chemical weapons
Why are these events of a
quarter century ago relevant today?
Because this horrible mess in
Iraq and Syria is a direct result of the US–led invasion of Iraq in 2003
IS is a manufactured monster
that could have crawled out of the germ warfare plant at Salman Pak
A doctor from the Democratic
Republic of Congo has won Europe’s top human rights prize for helping thousands
of gang rape victims in his country
Dr Denis Mukwege is the
winner of the Sakharov prize by the European Parliament in Strasbourg
The 59 year old gynaecologist
said the prize would make rape survivors in DR Congo feel they are not alone
The doctor set up the Panzi
Hospital in DR Congo in 1999 treating women subjected to horrific sexual
violence
His work is a life saviour to
so many thousands of abused women
Two years ago he survived an
assassination attempt after condemning the continued use of sexual violence in
the DR Congo
This was done by the forces
fighting to control the country’s vast mineral wealth
This prize is in recognition
of over 30,000 rape survivors treated at his hospital over a 16 year period
His work is invaluable to all
those who have suffered
He is one of the unsung
heroes, who are fighting at the sharp end of life every day
His work in saving humanity
is because he believes in a greater mission
My husband and I have also
sacrificed our lives in helping our fellow man
We are also at the sharp end
of life daily battling against the odds
At least Dr Mukwege is
finally recognised
We, like so many other unsung
heroes are not, yet somehow we keep on going because we have to
Fierce fighting has erupted
in the north of the Syrian town of Kobane after two days of relative calm
The clashes began when IS
militants launched an offensive on all fronts against Kurdish fighters
Meanwhile the US-led anti-IS
coalition said it carried out six air strikes
IS is doing what it intends
to do, which is to surround and squeeze the life blood and all access points to
this city
The same strategy will be
used in Baghdad
The two days of calm is for
IS to regroup & to confront the issues open to them on a day to day basis
with contingency plans where necessary
They have many options open
to them and, from where they stand, they can counterattack from several
strategic points
This the US coalition forces
have no answer to
The coalition forces do not
have the manpower to assemble a substantial attack, which will render IS
inoperable
The ground initiative will
not be won by air force strikes alone, as IS’s intelligence is far greater at
this point in guerrilla warfare
As has been previously
advised, it is the dismantling of the ideology that will bring this group down
It is not warfare, which they
are fully prepared for and to die only enhances their cause
The more the US coalition
forces wish to fight, will only enhance IS’s power to continue and brutalise
its opponents
Until their cause is shamed
and blamed and is shown to have no purpose, then and only then, will it be
shunned globally
Then their power will
diminished for all time
Brad Pitt’s new film Fury has
been made with the sole purpose of highlighting the trauma suffered by soldiers
in World War II
“War is hell,” said Pitt, who plays a Sherman tank
commander on a mission behind enemy lines in 1945
The film provides gripping
evidence of the accumulative psychic traumas that every soldier carries in war
Wars become more devastating with
every day
The horrors inflicted on
Mankind by Mankind leave soldiers and civilians traumatised for life
Until there comes a time,
which is what happened in America with the Vietnam War, when the American
people took to the streets
They protested to end the
bloodshed and horrors, which traumatised their soldiers
They asked for their soldiers
to be brought back
Enough was enough and an end
to the Vietnam War took place
Many soldiers went into
madness, taking drugs to alleviate their mental pain, which they were suffering
Nothing is worth this type of
aggression
There is coming a time soon
where war will no longer be tolerated by the people of whichever country
If soldiers refused to fight
and Governments demanded this of their subjects and they refused, then an
alternative way will need to be found
The price for war, both in
terms of those killed, injured and the civilian price that they pay, is too
high
There is also the economic
and devastation to infrastructure
Military Generals continue to
play their war games as that is what keeps them alive
Even heads of state like to
think they are mighty in their advancement on helpless states
When these people are put on
the front line with all that is thrown at them including biological warfare,
they will not be smiling then
Only then will something
change
Mankind with his intelligence
is supposed to be wiser than this
Long have we come out of the
dark ages, yet what has really changed?
Women in general are the
peacemakers and their time will come and wars will be no more
Negotiation of settlements
and treaties together with trade deals will be the way forwards
War will no longer be a valid
option and will be frowned upon by those who are civilised against those who
remain barbaric
They are incompetent in their
attitude to playing silly games of power
How can the world continue to
be placed in the hands of the military, whose only education is of war and not
of diplomacy?
Clearly they do not have the
intelligence to do anything else otherwise this world would have been blown to
pieces by now
I appreciate we are sometimes
close to this line
However, thankfully for us
there is a Higher Intelligence, which sees all and will have the final say over
Mankind’s foolish ways
As Iraqi MPs have now finally
approved new defence and interior ministers, the unity Government is now
complete
Mohammed Salem al-Ghabban, a
Shia, is the interior minister. This man has charisma and influence
He is an outstanding
politician and one who is able to work with his respective colleagues
Together they can bring about
successful reforms to his strategy to free up problems, which have been long
overdue
He is a quietly spoken man,
but one of methodical thinking and process
He is admired amongst his
fellow citizens and will be in a position to reform many institutions that have
been found wanting
Many times he has been
outspoken with how matters have gone so terribly wrong for Iraq, but nothing
was actually achieved
Now he will be in a position
to prove his worth and to bring about a successful transition, which has long
been overdue
We all wish him well in his
endeavours
Khaled al-Obeidi, a Sunni, is
the new defence minister. He is a leading Sunni politician from the city of
Mosul
This man has tremendous
courage and is exemplary in his work ethics
He has, in the course of his
work, already saved many lives, most of which will not be known to the general
public
He is a staunch person in
doing what is right for the Greater Good
A humble person, who has
immense power in his own right and a solid backing from so many Iraqis from
both sides of the fence
He will do well in bringing
all sides together to the negotiation table
His aim is for peace and
reconciliation of many factions, which have gone so terribly wrong in the past
Again we all wish him well
with his quest, which will be both challenging and at times extremely difficult
Haider al-Abadi has now
assembled a Government that feels more inclusive
It is hoped that with Mr
Abadi’s backers, inside and outside of Iraq, he will create a sense of unity at
the very top
It is for them to provide an effective
political response to huge and complex challenges posed by IS, which is long
overdue!
The situation now in Hong
Kong is pivotal to the increased mounting pressure on Beijing
Hours after the police moved
in to clear the Hong Kong Kok Occupy site more than a thousand protestors
poured back into the district
They clashed with police
The upsurge of youthful
discontent has presented China with one of its biggest popular challenges since
the 1989 Tiananmen uprising
This China still insists
never happened
Unless Beijing drops plans to
select Hong Kong’s new Government in 2017…
…this will prove to be a
direct challenge to Beijing’s national authority
Beijing is ruthlessly
crushing protests by Uighur Muslims in its strategic westernmost province of Xinjiang
Hong Kong’s demands for true
autonomy and self-rule come at a particularly difficult time for the Communist
Party
It is feting its 65th
anniversary of taking over China
This new generation wants
democracy and real political power. Beijing is unlikely to ever accept such a
development
Hong Kong is isolated from
the rest of China and is self-contained
Beijing fears the Internet
and social media will spread a virus of democracy, even chaos, to the rest of
China
This is already happening
with much home grown decent, which is slowly brewing up
China’s leadership has a deep
seated fear of uprisings
China would be most unwise to
send in its army into Hong Kong at this time
Especially when China is
trying to become the world’s epicentre of commerce and finance
So a backroom deal is likely
in which Beijing makes some concessions without losing too much face
Otherwise they will face a
tempest in Hong Kong, which would become a political tsunami for the rest of a
very restless China
Malala Yousafzai has called
on Nigeria to intensify its efforts to free 219 school girls, who were abducted
by Boko Haram six months ago
This group, who were
responsible for their kidnapping, sparked global outrage
Yet six months on still
nothing has been done to release these girls
They simply are of no account
and it is absolutely deplorable
With todays advanced
technology & where crack paratrooper regiments & sophisticated
intelligence, their release is still no further in sight
Foreign experts have been sent
into Nigeria to track them down, but with the Nigerian corrupt officials
everything continues to be hampered
The International community
looks on with distain and disgust on Nigeria’s Government and their lack of
progress
Malala and other International
names have accused the Nigerian Government of not doing enough for these girls
and they are correct!
As was predicted some time
ago, it will be disease that will wipe out populations and not warfare
More people will die of
disease than of any other type of atrocity
Man’s incompetence, not to
put things right in this world, is now paying a high price
What are an individual’s
millions worth to them when they are dying?
What are a Government’s
millions worth to them when their population is no more?
There will be no point in
governing!
Until Mankind starts to stop
being stupid and starts to put matters right what is so wrong with this world…
…then this disease will
continue unabated
We have not seen anything
like it in our lifetime. It cannot be abated
It will take a Higher
Intelligence over Man to put this disease into a quiescent period, which
becomes manageable
Until Mankind puts in the
right criteria, then the medical people are fighting a losing battle!
A vote in the UK Government
to recognise Palestine as a state is far too little too late
The British Parliament
believes that the Government should recognise the state of Palestine alongside
the state of Israel
The apartheid system imposed
by Israel over Palestinians and minorities is shameful
It is far worse than anything
that was administered in South Africa
Even Ethiopian Jews living in
Israel are discriminated against. They face institutional racism, which is
vitriolic
They are hardly accepted in
the work place and access to education and universities is deplorable
The Al Mezan report in 2009
showed numerous instances of Israeli behaviour on Palestinian civilians,
including children and the elderly
They were beaten, robbed and
killed in the process of being taken hostage by Israeli soldiers
Confirmed reports show
Israel’s attack in 2009 on a UN Relief and Works Agency site housing hundreds
of civilians was deliberate
Israel subjected the UN
Relief and Works Agency to the debilitating chemical white phosphorous, illegal
for its use in civilian areas
UN investigators show that
Israel violated a range of human rights during this invasion of Gaza
This is includes targeting
civilians and using children as human shields
These violations were
witnessed by UN investigators, who were the eyewitnesses at the time. Their
testimonies still stand
Despite the eyewitnesses from
the 2009 war on Gaza and the 2014 war, nothing has changed
The principle of engaging in
the wilful killings of Palestinian civilians persists
The principle of proportionality
in carrying out attacks…
…where collateral damage
results are vastly disproportionate to the military advantage achieved by
Israel
There is flagrant violation
of International Law on the use of indiscriminate weapons used in heavily-populated
civilian areas
Israel continued with
obstructions to provide medical care to the wounded by deliberately delaying or
denying access to wounded people
Israel also continued to
deliberately demolish medical facilities and personnel
Even Israeli soldiers have
openly admitted that their units were not advised to spare civilians
It has been proven by
reporters, investigators, various national and religious backgrounds together
with a myriad of politicians…
…that Israel engages in
illegal and epidemic violence
Yet the world looks on and
does nothing
Shame on you all who are in a
position to do something
There is no universal
conscience and so Israel & its brutal regime continue unabashed with
impunity, while the people continue to suffer!
All these wars are to finally
ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their own land, so that Zionism can
flourish and takeover
When will these people be
free of this continued onslaught to their miserable lives?
They, like the rest of the
world, have a right to live in freedom without such oppression!
