Petroleum leak in the Gulf of Mexico can be eliminated nuclear explosion

Всего одна атомная бомба может спасти США от экологической катастрофы
Only one nuclear bomb could save the U.S. from ecological disaster

In the USSR, and not as fountains and stopped using the peaceful atom

Vladimir Lagowski - 03/05/2010

It is possible that unsuccessful attempts to stop the leakage of oil from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico through the underwater robots compel professionals to take extreme measures. Namely – to blow up next to the damaged wells nuclear warhead.

It sounds terribly and incredibly – the idiotic joke. But in fact there were several cases where catastrophes in the fields of fighting in this way. In the former USSR – five times. When nothing else has not helped. It’s now in the Gulf of Mexico, where oil oozes out of the way from three places.

First underground nuclear explosion was used to extinguish burning gas wells in “Urt-Bulak (80 km from Bukhara) 30 September 1966. Power charge was 30 kilotons. For comparison, the Hiroshima bomb exploded about 20 kilotons. But in the height of 600 meters. A near Bukhara – at a depth of six kilometers.

The idea of the method is simple: an underground explosion pushes the rock, presses it and actually squeezes the channel well.

Powerful nuclear “plugs” – sometimes 3 Hiroshima – we have enjoyed until 1979. And only once failed. In 1972 in Kharkov region failed to block the emergency gas blowout. The explosion was mysteriously left on the surface, forming a mushroom cloud. Although the charge was minimal – just a 4 kiloton. And laid deep – for more than two kilometers.

Total probability of failure in the Gulf of Mexico – 20 percent. Americans could take a chance. The chance of dying during the flight to the moon they were even higher.
Of course, we used a civilian nuclear program on the ground, the Americans as to the sea – under water where the ocean depth reaches 1500 meters.

But in principle there is no difference – you still need to drill a well at a distance from leaking. And it lowered the bomb. As in the movie “Armageddon” with Bruce Willis in the role of a driller. It is desirable that the calculations were done correctly. Such hope is: the U.S. is full of smart scientists and powerful computers. And Russia could have contributed. We still live peaceful nuclear demolition.

Nuclear war in the peaceful uses

of the USSR organized underground nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes in the period from 1966 to 1988. In total, the former Soviet Union tore more than a hundred atomic bombs. According to some data – 124, on the other 169. And that – not counting the military testing of nuclear weapons.

According to the official wording of the explosions were carried out in the interests of the national economy. Among them – the majority – for seismic minerals and for probing the depths. Explosions create underground reservoirs for gas storage, chemical waste, digging canals, building dams, increased the oil recovery. And did not think something harmful. Although, if the estimate, there are hundreds of atomic bombs, perhaps not in every nuclear war to explode.

Peaceful nuclear energy “fooling” and in the U.S.. And they began earlier – in 1962. But in the end produced a much smaller explosions in the interests of the capitalist economy. Although plans were grandiose.

What was Halliburton’s role in US oil spill?

What was Halliburton’s role in US oil spill?

By David Usborne

May 30, 2010

Shares in Halliburton, the world’s second-largest energy services company once headed by former US vice-president Dick Cheney, slid in trading on Friday, in part because of the new six-month moratorium on offshore drilling projects imposed last week by President Barack Obama.

But investors have had other reasons to feel concern for the fortunes of Halliburton. As the investigation into the BP oil rig explosion accelerates, new information has been surfacing in congressional hearings in Washington pointing to possible problems with the casings that were put around the bore hole in the sea bed and the cementing that is critical to sealing it up.

Halliburton did the cementing at the well, under contract to BP. It was to inject the cement to seal the casing in the bore hole to make any seepage of gas and oil impossible, and insert the cement plug that would have allowed BP to return at a later date to begin production. Last August, Halliburton was involved in the cementing of a well in the Timor Sea off the coast of Australia that similarly blew out, sending thousands of gallons into the ocean.

Even within days of the US tragedy, which left 11 men dead and unleashed the worst oil spill America has ever seen, investigators were focusing on the type of cement used – it had been infused with nitrogen – and tests that were done to ensure it had set properly. BP investigators told members of Congress that in the hours before the blast, a “fundamental mistake” may have been made in moving forward with placing the plug even when pressure tests had shown a “very large abnormality”.

The notion that blame for the blast could eventually be put on Halliburton might be tempting for BP. Indeed, at early hearings, BP seemed to point fingers both at Halliburton and at Transocean, the owner of the rig, prompting a rebuke from President Obama.

From the start, Halliburton’s lawyers have insisted that its men on the rig were simply following specifications and instructions from BP. In other words, if the cement does turn out to have been at least partly responsible for the tragedy, BP is “bound to hold Halliburton harmless”, as one of the lawyers told Congress last week. Transocean has made a similar case that as the owner of the lease on the well, BP must be ultimately responsible.

Turkey’s ‘strategic depth’ doctrine turning into ‘tactical breadth’

31 05 2010

CİHAN ÇELİK, Analysis
ISTANBUL – Hürriyet Daily News
Turkey’s ‘strategic depth’ in foreign relations appears to be undergoing another transformation, this time with ‘tactical breadth’ as a main ingredient. The White House’s response to Brazil leaking a letter from Obama regarding the Turkey-Iran nuclear fuel swap is putting everyone in an awkward position ahead of a meeting between Clinton and Davutoğlu

Turkey’s assertive role in regional impasses, from the Gaza crisis to Iran’s nuclear defiance, has acquired new complexity in the wake of an Israeli attack on aid ships bound for the besieged Palestinian strip and since Brazil angered American officials by releasing a confidential April letterfrom the U.S. president that encouraged Ankara and Brasilia to seek a deal with Tehran.

The script of Turkey’s new “strategic depth” doctrine of engagement with neighbors has shifted and reshaped many times in recent years and suddenly it has transformed once again around what might be called “tactical breadth,” centered on policy initiatives that are drawing applause from some quarters, anger from others.

Read the confidential letter that US President Barack Obama sent to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

For starters, an irate Israel sent its naval forces to storm an aid flotilla carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists in international waters before dawn on Monday, reportedly killing at least 10 activists, some of them Turkish nationals.

In response, the Turkish government warned of “irreparable consequences” and recalled its ambassador. There’s little doubt the attack will further strain Turkish-Israeli relations.

While nominally the project of an international group of nongovernmental organizations, the six-ship flotilla was apparently seen by the Israeli government as an extension of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s increasingly harsh stance toward Israel – a shift that began for many with the “one-minute” tirade last year at the World Economic Forum in Davos when he told Israeli President Shimon Peres: “You know well how to kill people,” referring Israel’s deadly war on Gaza that started in December 2008.

The diplomatic tension between the two allies worsened after Israel’s deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, gave Turkey’s ambassador a public dressing down in January to protest a Turkish television series that criticized Israel. Soon after, the Turkish prime minister called Israel “the main threat to peace in the Middle East,” following Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s comments likening him to the leaders of Libya and Venezuela.

Erdoğan’s stance has gained widespread support on Arab streets but many experts, diplomats and observers in Turkey have voiced their concerns over the deteriorating relations, adding their voice to those in Israel who fear Turkey is shifting from East to West.

Aiding allies’ enemy?

While linking the chill in Turkish-Israeli relations to the Justice and Development Party’s, or AKP, change in Turkey’s foreign policy, Israeli professor Efraim Inbar said Turkey was drifting apart from the West, “which also includes Israel.”

“I think, Turkey has moved away from the West after the AKP’s second election victory. The Turkish foreign policy is being reshaped and the clearest example of this shift is the relations with Israel,” Inbar told the daily Cumhuriyet over the weekend.

Responding to a question over an aid convoy to Gaza, Inbar rejected the criticism over Israel’s threat to the flotilla and its blockade on the strip. “We are in an ongoing war with Gaza and Hamas is our enemy. I’ve never heard the United States or the United Kingdom sending aid to Germany during World War II.”

Describing Turkey’s de facto aid to Hamas as a “disappointing” move, Inbar also said: “Gaza is battling against our Jewish state and wants to destroy it. We are sending aid to Gaza and the situation there is not as bad as it has been claimed by some.”

Israel’s ambassador to Turkey, Gabby Levy, also echoed Inbar’s remarks in an interview with private television channel CNNTürk and labeled the aid convoy “provocation” in the already tense region. While insisting that, “there is no humanitarian tragedy” in Gaza, Levy said: “Gaza has witnessed a huge destruction and we don’t deny this. But instead of using them to build a hospital, Hamas is making tunnels with the building materials. That’s why we don’t allow those materials.”

According to Inbar, Turkey is the only Western country that supports Iran’s nuclear drive, Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip and Sudan’s controversial President Omar al-Bashir, who has been accused of crimes against humanity. “We have never heard the Erdoğan government criticizing [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad. On the contrary, it even sent a congratulation message to him after he was re-elected. However, Erdoğan has been only slamming Israel.”

In hot pursuit of ‘tactical breadth’

The nuclear question appears to be a main ingredient in the latest transformation of Turkey’s foreign policy. On the one hand voicing criticism of Israel’s assumed nuclear arsenal while on the other supporting Iran’s ambitions in the nuclear realm are two positions that contradict much of the policy of Turkey’s NATO allies.

Before the bloody confrontation off the coast of Gaza, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva brokered the May 17 nuclear swap deal under which Iran agreed to ship 1,200 kilograms of low enriched uranium to Turkey, and in turn to receive 120 kilograms of nuclear fuel for its Tehran reactor.

Since then, Brazil and Turkey have repeatedly urged the U.N. Security Council to refrain from a new wave of harsher sanctions against the Islamic republic, arguing the deal reflects concessions the West has long sought. But the United States, its allies and even Russia, which has the closest political ties to Tehran of any major world power, voiced their skepticism over the nuclear deal.

But now revelation of a letter outlining a similar nuclear fuel swap deal that the United States had unsuccessfully pursued in October has put the White House in an awkward position. In the April 20 letter, which the White House did not dispute, the U.S. president thanks his Brazilian counterpart for meeting with him and Erdoğan on the sidelines of the U.S.-hosted nuclear security summit about a possible confidence building measure with Iran.

While Obama expresses skepticism in the letter about Iran’s willingness to send its uranium abroad and its motivations for pursuing negotiations with Brazil and Turkey after rejecting a similar deal put forward by the U.N.’s atomic guardian, International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, in October, he also appears to put forward terms for an acceptable fuel swap deal that are very similar to those in an agreement that the Brazil and Turkey signed with Iran.

“For us, Iran’s agreement to transfer 1,200 kg of low-enriched uranium [LEU] out of the country would build confidence and reduce regional tensions by substantially reducing Iran’s LEU stockpile,” Obama wrote, according to a copy of the letter posted May 27 on the website of Brazil’s foreign ministry. Both Brazil and Turkey had protested that their Tehran talks were fully vetted by Washington, but a letter on White House stationary placed the matter in new light.

Guide for swap deal

Brazilian officials, who are shocked that the United States is raising objections to the agreement and its terms, have said Lula and Erdoğan used Obama’s letter as a guide when they negotiated a deal with Tehran.

Brazil’s foreign minister, Celso Amorim, said his government was encouraged “to implement the proposals in October, without deviation, and we did.” As for the 20 percent enrichment, he said, “Nobody told us, ‘Hey, if you do not stop the enrichment to 20 percent, forget the deal.’”

The Washington Post said Erdoğan also received a similar letter.

While dismissing the letter as “selective” leaking, a senior U.S. official also said Obama’s letter was designed to deal with a discrete problem, adding it has been in regular contact with Brazil and Turkey.

“It was a letter that was responding to something they were doing, in which we were pointing out that what you are doing falls well short of what we were seeking,” the Washington Post quoted him as saying on Friday.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to meet with her Turkish counterpart, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, next week, where the Iran deal would be further discussed, officials also said.

According to some sources, the letter was clear evidence that Washington was changing the goal in favor of harsher sanctions against Tehran, but the leaked letter was also seen as a sign of Brazilian resentment to what it sees as its and Turkey’s diplomatic triumph that was snubbed by the United States and other big powers.

“Sure, had Brazil and Turkey actually persuaded the Iranians to verifiably end their whole suspected nuclear weapons program, America would have endorsed it. But that is not what happened,” the New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman said. Instead, Friedman said, the deal has weaken the global coalition to pressure Iran to open its nuclear facilities to U.N. inspectors.

“Turkey and Brazil are both nascent democracies that have overcome their own histories of military rule. For their leaders to embrace and strengthen an Iranian president who uses his army and police to crush and kill Iranian democrats – people seeking the same freedom of speech and political choice that Turks and Brazilians now enjoy – is shameful,” he wrote last week.

Ending double standards on NPT

Meanwhile, Obama’s Iran letter surfaced just as the United Nations was concluding a month-long round of talks aimed at updating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT.

Western diplomats said on Saturday that the United States has agreed on a document that urges Israel to join the treaty and subject its nuclear facilities to oversight by the IAEA in a development widely credited to Turkey’s insistence on an end to double standards.

Muslim nations, led by Turkey and Egypt, have been lobbying hard at international arena to force Israel to disclose its assumed nuclear arsenal and sign the same treaty that Iran has agreed to. Turkey and Egypt’s intention to raise the issue at Obama’s nuclear summit in April had made Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel his visit to Washington. He is expected to meet the U.S. president on Tuesday to discuss Iran, the peace process with the Palestinians and the NPT.

On Saturday, Israel sharply criticized the U.N. move, calling the plan “deeply flawed.” “It ignores the realities of the Middle East and the real threats facing the region and the entire world,” Israel added.

The plan “singles out Israel, the Middle East’s only true democracy and the only country threatened with annihilation,” the statement said. “Yet the terrorist regime in Iran, which is racing to develop nuclear weapons and which openly threatens to wipe Israel off the map, is not even mentioned.”

On Sunday, a senior Israeli official said Netanyahu was given “unequivocal assurances” from Obama that the accord agreeing to talks on a nuclear weapons-free Mideast would not endanger Israel. The premier was “promised that there would be no resolutions adopted at the U.N. that would hurt the vital interests of Israel,” the official added.

BNP activist killed, several arrested in clashes with police

31 05 2010

The Baloch Hal News

QUETTA: One protestor was killed while five others wounded in firing in Shahbaz Town, area of the provincial capital, here on Saturday.

Balochistan National Party (BNP-Mengal) and National Party (NP) have held police and personnel of Frontier Corps (FC) responsible for firing on peaceful protestors.

Police had arrested over 50 persons in raids last night from different area of Quetta City in connection with the killing of four police officials, including SHO Satellite Town Police Station who were targeted on Friday morning.

The workers of BNP blocked different roads of the city, including Double Road and Sariab Road by burning old tyres to protest the arrests.

Police resorted to shelling and aerial firing to disperse the protestors, besides arresting Secretary General of BNP Habib Jalib Advocate and former MPA Akthar Hussain Langov.

A group of protestors were trying to block roads in Shahbaz Town area where law enforcing agencies fired tear gas, besides making aerial firing as a result six protestors sustained injuries.

The injured were being shifted to Civil Hospital Quetta for medical aid where one of the injured identified as Naseer Ahmed Langov succumbed to his injuries. The name of three injured protestors were identified as Zubair, Lal Muhammad and Abdul Wahid. Deceased person was cousin of Akthar Hussain Langov, the central leader of BNP.

Following the killing of BNP activists, situation became more tense in different parts of the metropolis and the BNP activists further got infuriated and again blocked roads at Double Road, Sariab Road and Mano Jan Road that caused a massive traffic jam in the city and inconvenience to the commuters.

Later on, protestors brought the dead body of Naseer Ahmed Langov at Quetta Press Club and staged a protest demonstration against the incident.

Protestors were chanting slogans against security forces and demanding humanitarian organizations and United Nations for taking immediate notice of alleged atrocities of state forces.

Addressing a news conference and protestors, the leaders of BNP and NP including, Jahanziab Baloch, Acting General Secretary of BNP, Agha Hassan Advocate, Shafkat Langov and Khalid Langov of NP condemned the killing of Naseer Ahmed and said that police and FC were responsible for his killing and injuring other protestors.

They strongly criticised Governor and Chief Minister of Balochistan and alleged that they had given license to law enforcing agencies to kill innocent Balochs.

They said that both Governor and Chief Minister should learn a lesson from the fate of former Chief Minister of Balochistan Jam Muhammad Yousuf who had no place in Balochistan even for hiding himself.

Speakers said that killing of Baloch was continuing for the last 63 years and they would not make any demand or appeal from state institutions rather they would ask international community and NATO for intervention to save Balochs from the excesses of state institutions.

Announcing a protest schedule, they said that protest demonstrations would be held on 30th, May across the province while shutter down and wheel jam strikes would be held on June 1st, and 2nd respectively against the killing of Naseer Langov.

They said that if the personnel of law enforcing agencies who were responsible for opening firing on a peaceful protest were not arrested, protests would remain continued.

Leaders of Baloch National Front (BNF), including Agha Ashraf Dilsoz and Yousuf Baloch also addressed a press conference outside Quetta Press Club.

BNF leaders strongly condemned the killing of Naseer Langov and firing on protestors, saying state forces wanted to crash Baloch national struggle for their independence.

They said that Balochs would continue their struggle and such acts of killing of innocent Balochs could not deviate Balochs from their genuine struggle.

In the meanwhile, BNP workers also burnt tyres in Khuzdar, Wadh, Kalat and Mastung. They blocked the Quetta-Karachi for all types of traffic that caused inconvenience to the commuters.





Turkey to Call UN Meeting over Israeli Attack, Recalls Envoy

Turkey to Call UN Meeting over Israeli Attack, Recalls Envoy

Readers Number : 413

Turkey will call an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council over Israel’s deadly raid on aid ships bound for the Gaza Strip, a Turkish diplomat told AFP Monday as above tens of thousands of people went out to Turkish streets condemning the Israeli inhumane act.

Turkey also recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said. “Our ambassador to Israel has been recalled to Ankara,” Arinc told a press conference. He said plans for three joint military exercises with Israel had been scrapped.

Turkey’s foreign ministry condemned the Israeli operation following the Israeli attack Gaza-bound aid ships in international waters saying it may lead to “irreparable consequences” in bilateral ties.

“By targeting civilians, Israel has once again shown its disregard for human life and peaceful initiatives. We strongly condemn these inhumane practices of Israel,” the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement. “This deplorable incident, which took place in open seas and constitutes a fragrant breach of international law, may lead to irreparable consequences in our bilateral relations,” it said. “Israel will have to bear the consequences of this behavior, which constitutes a violation of international law,” it said.

The Israeli envoy was summoned to the foreign ministry. Israeli ambassador Gabby Levy held a 20-minute meeting with a senior foreign ministry official and left the ministry without making a statement. He was told that “Turkey retains all its rights under international law concerning this assault,” a Turkish diplomat, who asked not to be named, told AFP. “We are considering the actions that we may take under international law,” he said. High-ranking Turkish source said that there’s a possibility that the Israeli ambassador would be expelled.

Turkey also asked for a detailed report on the fate of all people who were aboard the vessels, he said, adding that they included nationals from a total of 33 countries. Levy was also told that the Turkish passengers and the wounded should be repatriated to Turkey in the shortest possible time and the vessels released, he said.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyeb Erdogan cancelled his trip to Chile over the Israeli crime and headed to Ankara to follow up the crisis. Also, Turkey’s army chief cut short a visit to Egypt Monday after the deadly Israeli operation and a rocket attack on a navy base in southern Turkey, Anatolia news agency reported. General Ilker Basbug was expected to arrive in Ankara later in the day, the report said.

Turkish vessels were part of an international flotilla carrying aid to the Gaza Strip, which Israeli forces stormed early Monday.

“TANKS AND STONES WILL BE YOUR DEFEAT!”

Meanwhile, Tens of thousands gathered to protest in Turkey’s biggest city Istanbul Monday following the deadly Israeli raid. Under the watch of police, at least 10,000 marched on the city’s central Taksim square from the Israeli consulate.

“Damn Israel!”, “A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, revenge, revenge!” the protesters chanted, carrying Turkish and Palestinian flags, as they marched towards the square, an AFP photographer said. “Close down the Zionist embassy,” read a banner carried by the crowd. Police closed all roads along the protesters’ route to traffic as their numbers swelled.

Passers-by expressed their support by applauding the protesters on their march, television reports said. The group had earlier protested outside the Israeli consulate, chanting anti-Israeli slogans, as police kept them from approaching the building.

In a second demonstration, a crowd of about 500 people gathered outside the residence of Israeli ambassador Gabby Levy in Ankara, calling Israel a murderer and reciting prayers. “Damn the Zionist murderers!”, “Israel will drown in the blood of the martyrs!” chanted the protesters. Several demonstrators threw eggs and plastic bottles into the garden of the residency which is surrounded by a high wall before they were warned by police to cease their actions. A large banner reading “Tanks and stones will be your defeat” was hung at the entrance of the street facing the residency.

Two TV networks reported earlier that Israeli warships attacked the six ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists and aid for blockaded Gaza, killing 20 and wounding dozens of people on board.

A Turkish charity involved with the flotilla told AFP in Gaza that at least 15 people were killed in the Israeli navy raid, most of them Turkish nationals. “Fifteen people were killed in the raid, most of them Turkish nationals,” said Mohammed Kaya, who heads the Gaza branch of the IHH, a Turkish charity involved with organizing the fleet of aid ships. “We were not expecting such an operation in international waters,” Omer Faruk Korkmaz, an official of the IHH, said. “Israel has been caught red-handed and the international community will not forgive it.” Korkmaz said the ship was being escorted to Haifa.

Murat Mercan, a lawmaker from Erdogan’s ruling party, said: “I was expecting an intervention. I was not expecting bloodshed, the use of arms and bullets.” “Israel is engaged in activity that will extremely hurt its image,” he said.

Hamas resistance movement urged Arabs and Muslims to “rise up” in front of Israeli embassies across the globe in protest against the deadly raid.

Israeli Massacres Go International–Commandos Kill 20 Free Gaza Activists

Israeli Massacres Go International; Commandos Kill 20 Free Gaza Activists

31/05/2010 Israeli occupation forces massacred 20 activists on board the Gaza-bound “Freedom” flotilla Sunday overnight and Monday, according to the Israeli TV. 60 other people were also injured. The killing took place in international waters.

Among the injured, leader of the Islamic Movement’s northern branch in the occupied territories Sheikh Raed Salah whose injuries are serious, according to reports.

Israeli marine commandos had opened fire as they stormed one of the ships the (Mavi Marmara). Israeli television justified the commandos’ massacre claiming that the soldiers were attacked with knives and axes, but did not elaborate. The Israeli censor blocks all reports on the activists murdered on the flotilla.

According to a reporter on one of the ships, the Israeli occupation army raided all vessels from the sea and air at the same time and informed all of the passengers that they were under arrest.

The Israeli vessels, the report said, attacked the flotilla in international waters with aerial reinforcement, using gas. A Qatari television channel broadcast live the dramatic images from the ships, with Hamas spokespeople giving interviews and vowing to punish Israel for “the new crime”.

The images showed Commando soldiers with their faces covered. A fighter in uniform, wearing a gas mask, tried to block the camera with his hand, while more and more troops raided the ship after sliding down from a helicopter using a rope.

One of the passengers on the ship called out to the Navy vessels, “Don’t attack us. We are unarmed civilians. There are injured people onboard.”

The calls were first made in English, and were later joined by Knesset Member Hanin Zuabi (Balad), who called out to the ships in Hebrew.

Turkey summoned the Israeli ambassador to the Turkish foreign ministry Monday. “The ambassador (Gabby Levy) was summoned to the foreign ministry. We will convey our reaction in the strongest terms,” the diplomat, who asked not to be named, told AFP.





Hezbollah condemns Israel’s threats against Hariri

31 05 2010

English.news.cn
BEIRUT, May 31 (Xinhua) — Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah on Monday slammed Israel’s threats against Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, saying they are a proof that the Jewish state intends to attack “all Lebanese factions.”

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon said on Saturday that the western-backed Hariri “will pay a heavy price in the event of any war between Israel and Lebanon”.

The country’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) quoted Lebanese Minister of Agriculture Hussein Hajj Hassan, who is also a member of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, as saying that the Israeli threats against Hariri prove that Israel aims to attack all the Lebanese, regardless of their factions.

“These threats will enhance the country’s unity against Israel, ” he said.

Hezbollah fought a devastating war with Israel in 2006. The Shiite group, backed by Iran and Syria, is the only Lebanese armed faction.

Kurdish rebel rocket attack kills six at Turkish navy base

Turkish soldier standing guard

ANKARA : Kurdish rebels fired rockets at a Turkish naval base Monday killing six troops in the latest assault on a military target since a jailed Kurdish rebel leader signalled an end to peace efforts.

Seven soldiers were wounded in the attack on a military vehicle carrying troops to guard duty in the southern city of Iskenderun, Hatay province, provincial governor Mehmet Celalettin Lekesiz was quoted as saying by Anatolia news agency.

The attack was carried out by members of the “separatist terrorist organization”, Lekesiz said, using the official jargon for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leading a 25-year insurgency.

“Security operations were continuing,” he said, adding that additional police and troops were deployed after the attack.

Media reports said three of the wounded soldiers were in critical condition in a military hospital in Ankara.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility by the PKK, an outlawed separatist group whose leader Abdullah Ocalan decided to abandon efforts to seek dialogue with the Turkish government.

Five members of Turkey’s security forces were killed on Saturday in a string of attacks that gave a strong sign that Kurdish peace efforts are unravelling.

Army chief General Ilker Basbug cut short a visit to Egypt after the rocket attack and a deadly Israeli operation on an aid convoy headed to the Gaza Strip, which included several Turkish vessels.

Ocalan was jailed for life in 1999 but has retained his influence over the PKK from his prison cell on Imrali island, often issuing guidelines to rebels in statements released through his lawyers.

His calls for dialogue have been rejected by the government, which insists the PKK either lay down its arms or face the army, and he was quoted in a party mouthpiece over the weekend as having given up his pursuit of dialogue.

“Keeping up this process is no longer meaningful and useful. I am quitting after May 31 since I could not find an interlocutor,” Ocalan was quoted by the Ozgur Politika newspaper as telling his lawyers during a recent prison visit.

Ocalan however said his decision did not amount to a call for the PKK to intensify its armed campaign.

“This should not be misunderstood. This is not a call for a war,” he said, according to Saturday’s Ozgur Politika.

Following a usual winter lull, violence has broken out anew in the southeast. The melting of winter snow has allowed the rebels to move out from their mountain hideouts in Turkey and neighbouring Iraq.

The PKK, listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, took up arms in 1984, sparking a conflict that has claimed some 45,000 lives.

Last year, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government announced it would expand Kurdish freedoms in a bid to peacefully end the conflict.

The initiative however has faltered, amid bitterness over the government’s decision to ban the main Kurdish party and public outrage at bloody PKK attacks.





“What We Have Seen This Morning Is A War Crime”

31 05 2010

“What We Have Seen This Morning Is A War Crime”

Dr Erakat:


RAMALLAH, May 31, 2010 (WAFA)- Head of the PLO Negotiations Affairs Department Dr. Saeb Erakat has strongly condemned this morning’s “brutal attacks” of Israeli forces against the Gaza Flotilla.

The Gaza Flotilla is an international effort to break the Israeli siege on Gaza, bringing tons of humanitarian aid to help the 1.5 million Palestinians besieged there.

“What we have seen this morning is a war crime. These were civilian ships carrying civilians and civilian goods – medicine, wheelchairs, food, construction materials – intended for the 1.5 million Palestinians holed up under a cruel and criminal siege by Israel. And for that, many have paid with their lives.  What Israel does in Gaza is appalling; no informed and decent human can say otherwise.”

“The unarmed civilian activists were attacked on foreign vessels while sailing in international waters.   This is another incident confirming that Israel acts as a state above the law.  The international community must take swift and appropriate action. ”

Dr Erakat referred to the current status of Gaza. “The Israeli government has been trying to deny that Gaza is under occupation. But the fact that Israel is preventing humanitarian aid to freely access the besieged strip clearly shows that Gaza is still occupied.”

The chief Palestinian negotiator called on the international community to “act immediately to end the illegal Israeli siege and to protect the civilians savagely attacked by Israeli forces.”





Turks rally against Israeli attack

Turks rally against Israeli attack

Protesters denounced the raid on Gaza aid ships by Israel [Reuters]

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Turkish city of Istanbul to denounce Israel over its attack on the convoy of Gaza-bound aid ships that left at least 15 people dead.

Around 10,000 people marched from the Israeli consulate in Istanbul towards the city’s main square on Monday, shouting slogans and waving banners saying “Killer Israel”.

Protests also took place in Ankara, the capital.

A Turkish charity has said most of those killed in the raid on six ships in international waters were Turkish nationals.

Earlier on Monday protesters attempted to storm the Israeli consulate, scaling over the compound’s walls, but were blocked from going further by police.

Israel has advised its citizens to avoid travel to Turkey and instructed those already there to keep a low profile and avoid crowded downtown areas.

Emergency UN meeting

Turkey’s foreign ministry has condemned the Israeli raid, and recalled its ambassador to Israel.

It has also called for an emergency United Nations meeting over the incident, an unnamed diplomat has said.

LIVE BLOGGING
Aftermath of Israel’s attack on Gaza flotilla

“We are preparing to call for a meeting of the UN Security Council on the issue,” the diplomat said without explaining what action Ankara would demand against Israel.

Turkey’s deputy prime minister added that the nation would be cancelling three joint military exercises and recalling a youth soccer team from Israel.

Anita McNaught, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Istanbul, said relations between Israel and Turkey have deteriorated since the Gaza war.

“Up til that point they had … a constructive military alliance and for many years they saw the issue of domestic terrorism as one they had to share information about.

“But since the Gaza war relations have nose-dived and it would be absolutely fair to say that this is the lowest point,” she said.

International condemnation

Israeli forces stormed the so-called Freedom Flotilla, which was carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists and tonnes of aid, while they were 65km off the Gaza coast in international waters.

The action has brought widespread condemnation, with the EU foreign affairs chief demanding that Israeli authorities mount a “full inquiry” into the attack.

Catherine Ashton also reiterated a longstanding demand for “an immediate, sustained and unconditional opening of the crossings for the flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from Gaza,” a spokesman said.

France and the UN’s Mideast envoy have also condemned the attack, while Greece suspended a military exercise with Israel and postponed a visit by Israel’s air force chief.

More protests denouncing the action are planned in London later on Monday.

The some 700 activists on board the flotilla included people from many different countries, including United States, Britain, Australia, Greece, Canada, Malaysia, Algeria, Serbia, Belgium, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Kuwait.

The majority were Turkish.

Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship

More than 10 people have been killed after Israeli commandos stormed a convoy of ships carrying aid to the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army says.

Armed forces boarded the largest vessel overnight, clashing with some of the 500 people on board.

It happened about 40 miles (64 km) out to sea, in international waters.

Israel says its soldiers were shot at and attacked with weapons; the activists say Israeli troops came on board shooting.

The European Union has called for an inquiry to establish what happened.

‘Guns and knives’

The six-ship flotilla, carrying 10,000 tonnes of aid, left the coast of Cyprus on Sunday and had been due to arrive in Gaza on Monday.

Israel says its soldiers boarded the lead ship in the early hours but were attacked with axes, knives, bars and at least two guns.


We were not going to pose any violent resistance

Audrey Bomse Free Gaza Movement

“Unfortunately this group were dead-set on confrontation,” Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev told the BBC.

“Live fire was used against our forces. They initiated the violence, that’s 100% clear,” he said.

Organisers of the flotilla said at least 30 people were wounded in the incident. Israel says 10 of its soldiers were injured, one seriously.

A leader of Israel’s Islamic Movement, Raed Salah, who was on board, was among those hurt.

Audrey Bomse, a spokesperson for the Free Gaza Movement, which is behind the convoy, told the BBC Israel’s actions were disproportionate.

“We were not going to pose any violent resistance. The only resistance that there might be would be passive resistance such as physically blocking the steering room, or blocking the engine room downstairs, so that they couldn’t get taken over. But that was just symbolic resistance.”

She said there was “absolutely no evidence of live fire”.

Israel says it will tow the boats to the port of Ashdod and deport the passengers from there. It says it will deliver the ships’ aid to Gaza.

Condemnation

Turkish TV pictures taken on board the Turkish ship leading the flotilla appeared to show Israeli soldiers fighting to control passengers.

The footage showed a number of people, apparently injured, lying on the ground. A woman was seen holding a blood-stained stretcher.

Al-Jazeera TV reported from the same ship that Israeli navy forces had opened fire and boarded the vessel, wounding the captain.

The Al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, saying: “Everybody shut up!”

Israel’s deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said his country “regrets any loss of life and did everything to avoid this outcome”.

He accused the convoy of a “premeditated and outrageous provocation”, describing the flotilla as an “armada of hate”.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Israel’s actions, saying it had committed a massacre.

Most of the people on board the boats were Turkish.

Turkey said it “strongly condemn[ed] these inhumane practices of Israel”, AFP news agency reported.

In Turkey, dozens of protesters tried to storm the Israeli consulate in the Istanbul, while Israeli ambassadors have been summoned to the Turkish, Greek and Spanish foreign ministries to explain what happened.

Blockade

Israel had repeatedly said it would stop the boats, calling the campaign a “provocation intended to delegitimise Israel”.

Israel and Egypt tightened a blockade of Gaza after the Islamist movement Hamas took power there in 2007.

Israel says it allows about 15,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza every week.

But the United Nations says this is less than a quarter of what is needed.

The incident comes a day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to meet US President Barack Obama in Washington after one of the most strained periods in US-Israeli relations in years.





An immediate threat, or a preparatory signal to attack Pakistan in the future?

30 05 2010

An immediate threat, or a preparatory signal to attack Pakistan in the future?

The WaPo is a mouth piece front for gossip and posturing for sections of the American intelligence community and Jewish elite of the JEWSA. Most of what it writes is pure fiction, but also crucially represents the views and perspectives of certain important people in the JEWSA who through this particular paper articulate and sound out their fundamental policies to the rest of America.

It played a prominent role in the fake drum beat towards war against Iraq.

That Secretary of State Clinton should be threatening Pakistan with unilateral attacks, just as she has been doing for a couple of years Iran and North Korea is no surprise.

NORTH KOREA is belligerent and tough in the face of USA threats, and is backed by China.

IRAN is belligerent and tough in the face of USA threats, and is backed by Syria, Turkey increasingly it seems, and Russia China to an extent.

PAKISTAN on the other hand is the proverbial monkey dancing to the American organ grinder. The more the Americans grind their repulsive tune of endless attacks against Pakistani civilians, AND shouting/demanding orders for endless security ops in the NWFP the more the Pakistani monkey dances……..lacking the common sense and wit that this is all heading towards ultimate KIAMAT and total disaster for Pakistan.

The Pakistani military and Zardari cannot see that the simultaneous attacks by America and the Pakistani military against the Pakistani people is there to weaken the long term cohesion and survival of the Pakistani state.

The USA has been attacking Pakistan slowly especially since 2006, through destabilization and infiltration under the guise of being an essential friend of Pakistan.

The average Pakistani (90%) applying his simple common sense actually know this reality, but the top brass of the Pakistani military trained in the UK/USA can’t see this, and…………..OR or as with the top politicians of the PPP have simply been bought with big fat Swiss bank accounts. Zardari is protected by mercenary Christian Fundamentalist American forces based in and around Islamabad, not by Pakistani security.

Under International Law, affirmed by cases after cases Pakistan has a duty to aid, shelter, feed and arm the Afghan resistance against any alien occupying power in Afghanistan under the principles of “Self Determination”, just as Pakistan did with the Afghan resistance under Soviet occupation 1980–1989. In 9 years of war the Soviet Union never murmured once about Pakistan’s training of 85,000 Mujaheddin fighters and 12,000 Jihadis from various Muslim countries, armed and funded by the USA, Israel and the Gulf countries.

The Soviet Union after 9 years of fighting lost 20,000 dead/MIA and 50,000 wounded in Afghanistan.

The USA after 9 years of fighting has lost 1000 dead and about 3000 wounded in Afghanistan……….but is already complaining that it is Pakistan’s fault for “not doing enough” or Iran’s fault. For good measure as a strategy of pressure and blackmail the USA has also carried out a false flag terror op in NY and blamed it on the TTP, which also regularly claims to carry out terror ops within Pakistan very successfully, unlike the NY fizzle bomb.

The TTP is believed to be an American intelligence front made of ex-Guantanamo detainees who have subsequently been turned, and thus given freedom.

The criminal Kleptocracy of Zardari along with the all powerful military fully and mysteriously cooperates with this fake narrative AGAINST PAKISTAN’S INTERESTS without the slightest bit of murmur or public contradiction…………just like trained monkey’s to the American organ grinder.

The Pakistani elite and media by aiding the JEWSA with the “al-Qaeda” myth, and sending the same Jehadis into Indian Kashmir since 1989, have turned what was wholly a domestic Afghan resistance movement with very specific local intentions, dominated and run by Pakistan for Pakistan…….have inadvertently conflated the Afghan Taliban through the miscalculated policies of the Pakistan military with international terrorism. The slippery JEWSA is merely exploiting this miscalculation.

I have always argued that the Pakistanis need to disengage from the USA fully, rather than try to maintain the rather paradoxical, unsustainable and one may say deeply dishonest position of being on the one hand an ally of the USA taking billions $ worth of aid, allowing American military personnel and mercenaries into sensitive parts of the country, whilst simultaneously hosting the Taliban Afghan Shura in Quetta, who are directly responsible for the death of American servicemen in Afghanistan.

It can’t go on like this.

Pakistan logically needs to eject the Taliban Afghan Shura, even if they are not related to the TTP……… ……..even if they clearly have no internationalist pretensions, and therefore highly unlikely to have undertaken the false flag attack in NY recently.

The slippery bankrupt JEWSA is desperate, and is groping around for any excuse to attack Pakistan MORE COMPREHENSIVELY, then the current levels through drone attacks.

U.S. To Plan Pakistan Strike

White House eyes retaliation if Taliban pull off major strike inside U.S.

By GREG MILLER (Hopefully not related to Judith Miller)

Washington Post — The U.S. military is reviewing options for a unilateral strike in Pakistan in the event that a successful attack on American soil is traced to the country’s tribal areas, according to senior military officials.

(Thats been the talk since 2004 at least, and is building momentum as more American servicemen and mercenaries swamp Pakistan, and the Zardari government becomes more dependent on USA largess——the actual ultimate objective is of course to secure Pakistan’s nukes for Israel {an Israeli objective since the 1970′s}, so that in the event of an Israeli nuclear attack against Iran {Israeli nuclear armed submarines are already in the Persian Gulf} Pakistan won’t be able to come to the rescue of Iran in any possible way…….as it will have been occupied quietly by the USA …….also an Israeli attack on Iran will obviously have political repercussions on Pakistan, a neighbor.

Also we must remember that Bush in his secret talks with Blair in January 2003 and subsequently leaked by 2 British civil servants, did say that after Iraq, Iran would be invaded, and then Pakistan…….thus the objective has not changed, but the time line has.

In signing the pipeline deal with Iran after 16 years of hard negotiation, perhaps Pakistan is signaling that it does not want to obediently wait in the queue, after Iran is attacked to be occupied by the USA eventually…….though the security cooperation with Iran is superficial and Kiyani has no linkages with his counterparts in Iran. Common sense again tells us that since both countries are on the “list” of to do and attack by the USA that both countries should fully cooperate in the security sphere. This is natural survival instinct, not even high politics and sophisticated strategizing.

OF course there will be counter measures to create schism between the two….such as Shia/Sunni animosity, but the two must act clearly for their mutual interests )

Ties between the alleged Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad, and elements of the Pakistani Taliban have sharpened the Obama administration’s need for retaliatory options, the officials said.

(Disinformation—–There are no ties; TTP have not taken credit, realizing even as American intelligence fronts the very serious nature for them {being attacked by the Pakistan military and the American military simultaneously} should such acts be traced back to them……Shahzad’s sheer amateurish and inexplicable action in NY suggests he had no training in Pakistan under the TTP, and the TTP have not claimed him as their own……the TTP understands that their job for the USA is to destabilize Pakistan which they have successfully done since 2006………..NOT conduct attacks against the USA, which logistically as puppets of the USA they are wholly incapable of doing, but as OBL found out in 2001 which he subsequently denied to the Pakistani media, the American’s often have a habit of changing the job description of their created puppets without telling their puppets…….

Warning to Kiyani

Warning to Zardari

But as Musharaf found out in 2007-8, as Zia ul Haq found out, as Ayub Khan found out eventually…”Friends not Masters”)

They stressed that a U.S. reprisal would be contemplated only under extreme circumstances, such as a catastrophic attack that leaves President Obama convinced that the ongoing campaign of CIA drone strikes is insufficient.

(The American security state is so huge consuming perhaps as much as $1.5 trillion each year, and so sophisticated according to Chalmers Johnson {ex-CIA analyst} that it simply is not possible for two bit organizations such as the TTP to conduct terror ops in the USA. The TTP it must be repeated again and again is an American intelligence front created out of ex-Guantanamo detainees to attack Pakistani targets within Pakistan, and thus squeeze Pakistan towards the USA’s way of thinking……………nearly ALL the big and medium terror ops in the USA are conducted by the USA government for specific agenda’s…….introducing MRE security laws which give the state greater powers, and puts potential foreign targets on their back foot….Afghanistan 2001, Iraq 2003, Iran, Pakistan, Syria and so on)

“Planning has been reinvigorated in the wake of Times Square,” one of the officials said…………..(this has been ongoing since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and when the Clinton’s came to power in 1993…….2010)

‘(Con)Fusion centers’ (centers for destabilization of Pakistan)

At the same time, the administration is trying to deepen ties to Pakistan’s intelligence officials in a bid to head off any attack by militant groups. The United States and Pakistan have recently established a joint military intelligence center on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar, and are in negotiations to set up another one near Quetta, the Pakistani city where the Afghan Taliban is based, according to the U.S. military officials. They and other officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity surrounding U.S. military and intelligence activities in Pakistan.

(The ISI was created by the departing British Raj, as its primary instrument of influence in its former colony…….so London saab was its initial master, so that in the early 1950′s it destabilized civilian governments and paved the way for eventual military takeover of Pakistan in 1958, with Washington’s blessing.

With increased American military and economic aid $4 billion 1950–1969, naturally the USA became the master of the ISI.

At present the USA is the absolute master of the ISI, as the USA bankrolls most of its operations.

The ISI DOES NOTHING WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE USA.

The ISI runs the Afghan Taliban for the USA, but not the Pakistan Taliban which is run directly by the USA.

In internet lingo the Afghan Taliban are known as “ineffective Controlled Opposition”…..by the USA, and that is why THEY HAVE A SAFE HAVEN IN QUETTA DIRECTLY UNDER THE NOSES OF THE Americans for 9 uninterrupted years.

Further for the Pakistani people to win real freedom, and avoid being a perennial nuisance to her neighbors {India, Afghanistan, Iran}……..ALL USA Western aid,….. military and economic must be severed.

For the Pakistani people to win real freedom, and avoid being a perennial nuisance to her neighbors……ALL senior figures within government must be trained in Pakistan and not sent on refresher course to London and the USA, where they develop their official mindset and lingo……..Gilani, Kiyani, Haqqani, Zardari…….fine Iranian sounding names….how about acting like the actual people?

For the Pakistani people to win real freedom, and avoid being a perennial nuisance to her neighbors……Pakistan needs to disengage from the American led security operations within Pakistan)

The “fusion centers” are meant to bolster Pakistani military operations by providing direct access to U.S. intelligence, including real-time video surveillance from drones controlled by the U.S. Special Operations Command, the officials said. But in an acknowledgment of the continuing mistrust between the two governments, the officials added that both sides also see the centers as a way to keep a closer eye on one another, as well as to monitor military operations and intelligence activities in insurgent areas.

Obama said during his campaign for the presidency that he would be willing to order strikes in Pakistan, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a television interview after the Times Square attempt that “if, heaven forbid, an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences.”

Obama dispatched his national security adviser, James L. Jones, and CIA Director Leon Panetta to Islamabad this month to deliver a similar message to Pakistani officials, including President Asif Ali Zardari and the military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani.

Jones and Panetta also presented evidence gathered by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies that Shahzad received significant support from the Pakistani Taliban.

Retaliatory blows (major intrusion into Pakistani sovereign territory)

The U.S. options for potential retaliatory action rely mainly on air and missile strikes, but could also employ small teams of U.S. Special Operations troops already positioned along the border with Afghanistan. One of the senior military officials said plans for military strikes in Pakistan have been revised significantly over the past several years, moving away from a “large, punitive response” to more measured plans meant to deliver retaliatory blows against specific militant groups.

The official added that there is a broad consensus in the U.S. military that airstrikes would at best erode the threat posed by al-Qaeda and its affiliates, and risk an irreparable rupture in the U.S. relationship with Pakistan.

“The general feeling is that we need to be circumspect in how we respond so we don’t destroy the relationships we’ve built” with the Pakistani military, the second official said.

U.S. Special Operations teams in Afghanistan have pushed for years to have wider latitude to carry out raids across the border, arguing that CIA drone strikes do not yield prisoners or other opportunities to gather intelligence. But a 2008 U.S. helicopter raid against a target in Pakistan prompted protests from officials in Islamabad who oppose allowing U.S. soldiers to operate within their country.

The CIA has the authority to designate and strike targets in Pakistan without case-by-case approval from the White House. U.S. military forces are currently authorized to carry out unilateral strikes in Pakistan only if solid intelligence were to surface on any of three high-value targets: al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, or Taliban chief Mohammad Omar. But even in those cases, the military would need higher-level approval.

“The bottom line is you have to have information about targets to do something [and] we have a process that remains cumbersome,” said one of the senior military officials. “If something happens, we have to confirm who did it and where it came from. People want to be as precise as possible to be punitive.”

U.S. spy agencies have engaged in a major buildup inside Pakistan over the past year. The CIA has increased the pace of drone strikes against al-Qaeda affiliates, a campaign supported by the arrival of new surveillance and eavesdropping technology deployed by the National Security Agency.

The fusion centers are part of a parallel U.S. military effort to intensify the pressure on the Taliban and other groups accused of directing insurgent attacks in Afghanistan. U.S. officials said that the sharing of intelligence goes both ways and that targets are monitored in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Delicate trade off

In the Peshawar fusion cell, which was set up within the last several months, Pakistanis have access to “full-motion video from different platforms,” including unarmed surveillance drones, one official said.

The fusion centers also serve a broader U.S. aim: making the Pakistanis more dependent on U.S. intelligence, and less likely to curtail Predator drone patrols or other programs that draw significant public opposition.

To Pakistan, the fusion centers offer a glimpse of U.S. capabilities, as well as the ability to monitor U.S. military operations across the border. “They find out much more about what we know,” one of the senior U.S. military officials said. “What we get is physical presence — to see what they are actually doing versus what they say they’re doing.”

That delicate arrangement will be tested if the two sides reach agreement on the fusion center near Quetta. The city has served for nearly a decade as a sanctuary for Taliban leaders who fled Afghanistan in 2001 and have long-standing ties to Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence directorate.

U.S. officials said that the two sides have done preliminary work searching for a suitable site for the center but that the effort is proceeding at a pace that one official described as “typical Pakistani glacial speed.” Despite the increased cooperation, U.S. officials say they continue to be frustrated over Pakistan’s slow pace in issuing visas to American military and civilian officials.

One senior U.S. military official said the center would be used to track the Afghan Taliban leadership council, known as the Quetta shura. But other officials said the main mission would be to support the U.S. military effort across the border in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where a major U.S. military push is planned.

Harvard Project–the Essence Of the Anti-Soviet Psywar

30 05 2010

“The specialized surveys focused on identifying, collating and grouping personal and psychophysical characteristics of people, especially those characteristics that make a person of leader in a group and in society. To accomplish this, American intelligence gave the experts involved in the Harvard Project an enormous amount of material on the personal characteristics of distinguished world political figures and giants of science, technology and culture. Particular attention was devoted to the study of Lenin’s personality in order to identify the psychophysical qualities of the “leader complex.”

It was found that the majority of world leaders had a pronounced innate authority complex. People with this complex usually win a power struggle, especially if they do not follow generally accepted standards of morality. If they are assisted by a well organized group of specialists (so-called puppet masters) equipped with the knowledge of human psychology gained in the Harvard Project, their opponents simply have no chance of winning.
Today, we can say with complete certainty that a professional group of “puppet masters” is able to identify and move future leaders into positions of power like pawns in an international game of chess.”

Harvard Project

From the history of information-psychological war against the USSR

Vladislav Swede

The Cold War transformed the former allies in the anti-Hitler coalition – the United States and the Soviet Union – in the opponents. The Americans set the task to fill an information niche for political and psychological operations of its intelligence services in the USSR. As a result, in March 1948 in the U.S. began a secret document entitled “Use of refugees from the Soviet Union in the U.S. national interest.

Stone’s bosom

On the eve of the 65 th anniversary of the Victory many good words said about our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition: the United States and Britain. All true, but we should not forget that in these allied relations has a dark side. It is known that on Aug. 20, 1943 in Quebec (Canada), U.S. leaders and Velieobritanii Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill with American and British Chiefs of staff discussed the question of how the Germans could hold Russian as far as possible in the east.

The meeting adopted two plans: Overlord, which was contemplated in the 1944 Allied landing in France (it was guidance allies informed of the USSR in November-December 1943 in Tehran), and second, top secret, “Rankin”, the purpose of which was – “turn against Russia the power of unbeaten Germany. In April 1945, the development plan, “Rankin”, Churchill gave the British troops the order: prepare for Operation Unthinkable.

The essence of this operation was that the July 1, 1945 troops of Britain, the USA, Canada, along with the Polish Corps and 10-12 nerazoruzhennymi German divisions were supposed to start fighting against the Soviet Union.

Prevented this plan the power of crushing blows, which the Red Army inflicted by Nazi Germany at the end of the war. “Allies” have calculated the prospects of his adventures and realized that a week after the start of “Operation Unthinkable, Soviet tanks would reach the Atlantic Ocean and take control of all of Europe.

However, after mastering the United States nuclear weapons, plans for the strike on the territory of the USSR again became topical. Recall that, starting from the end of 1945, the military leadership of the United States each claimed more grandiose plans for the nuclear bombing of the USSR.

However, the Americans remember that the enormous damage inflicted by Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union bombing and total destruction of infrastructure, failed to weaken its economic power and break the spirit of Soviet people. In this regard, the Air Force United States set a target to determine the ultimate strength of the Soviet people in the case of massive atomic bombing. To solve this problem the Americans helped the following circumstance.

The Second World War gave rise to unprecedented in human history, the movement of peoples. By May 1945 the number of refugees in Europe exceeded 40 million. Many of them were forcibly evacuated by the Nazis in Germany, as the labor force (in January 1944 it was more than eight million people). A considerable part of them were Soviet citizens. Since the end of May 1945 in accordance with the Yalta agreement began their repatriation to the USSR. It should be noted that the bulk of Soviet citizens willingly return to their homeland. However, there were those who did not want to leave Europe. The motives of the Soviet “defectors” were different. Thus, war criminals and those who collaborated with the Nazis, could not count on the “warm welcome” in the Union. However, it was quite a few who did not take the Soviet system with its restrictions and pressure on the individual.

It is believed that in Western Europe by June 1947 left about 250,000 Soviet “defectors”. Many of them appeared in the American zone of occupation. They were chosen object for sociological studies of American experts.

As already mentioned, the U.S. Air Force, Harvard financing the project initially, put the narrow task – by interviewing these individuals to assess the psychological vulnerability of the Soviet civilian population in the massive atomic bombing. But soon, during the Cold War, the project has outgrown the framework.

The initiator of the refugees from the Soviet Union in the framework of the Harvard project was John Paton Davies (John Paton Davies), a member of the Group of Policy Planning U.S. State Department, headed by renowned Sovietologist, future U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, George Kennan. As a result, American experts in the early 1950′s were able to handle in 67 refugee camps and in some cities in Germany, more than 13,000 oral interviews and written questionnaires. This gave grounds for American scientists to draw conclusions that have caused American politicians “shock” reaction.

They found that rejection of the Soviet system of refugees from the Soviet Union did not mean that it rejected literally everything. The discontent of the Soviet “defectors”, as it turned out, caused not so much the Soviet political system itself, as the communist leadership of the country. In response to a question that should be retained from the Soviet system in the case, if the regime fell, literally everything prioritized education and then health and social protection.

Moreover, the “defectors” were proud of the successes of industrialization, and those positions that the Soviet Union occupied in the international arena. Most welcomed the commitment regime, its activity and confidence in the future of the country.

Underlines the very significant achievements of the Soviet Union in the field of culture. Revelation for the Harvard researchers has a positive assessment of the former Soviet people the state’s role in the economy.

It was called a lot of negative aspects in the Soviet system, including excessive bureaucratization and poor planning, but in general, “former Soviet” people were convinced: the welfare state can not be built on the basis of private enterprise. About two-thirds of respondents favored the state planning and state ownership in the economy. It must be borne in mind that this was the opinion of people who were dissatisfied with the Soviet system and deliberately did not want to return to the USSR.

More information about the Harvard Project and its development at this stage can be read in a book of doctor of historical sciences, professor Eugenia Codina “Harvard Project” (Moscow: Russian Political Encyclopedia “, 2003). Many interesting things can be found in Arcadia Medvedev “Harvard project: half a century later” (“Union. Belarus-Russia”. 04. 09.2003 town № 35/135).

Birth of “puppeteer”

To implement the plan information and psychological war was necessary to develop effective psychotechnologies impact on the Soviet people. During the Second World War that were active in Nazi specialists from the Office of Alfred Rosenberg, a native of the Baltic and “expert” east of the soul. After the war, experts have begun this “Harvard Project. As already mentioned, the work was carried out on the basis of surveys of former Soviet citizens.

Thus began the famous “Harvard Project» (Harvard Project on the Soviet Social System) – one of the most ambitious political-sociological studies of Soviet society. It was carried out by the Centre of Russian Studies, specially created at Harvard University in 1948.

The project carried out two types of surveys: biographical (A-Schedule interviews), in which collected general sociological data and specialized (B-Schedule interviews). In the past going “sotsioantropologicheskie” data in the field of economic, family relations, social stratification system of power relations, etc.

In conducting specialized surveys focused on identifying, collating, grouping of personal and psycho-physical human qualities, especially those that make him a leader in the community and society. For this to the experts involved in the Harvard project, “American intelligence agencies have provided enormous material relating to the personal characteristics of prominent world political figures, geniuses of science, technology and culture. Particular attention was paid to the study of personality and Lenin, to identify mental and physical qualities, forming a “complex leader.”

Novikov, a professor Stratfordskogo University, notes that “in the process of working on this project, hundreds of Soviet refugees were subjected to special psychological research. For this purpose the so-called Rorschach tests, tests with the ink stains, tests with incomplete sentences, up to the most intimate interviews on sexual themes, where each word was recorded on tape. Giving and other tests, where with the help of psychoanalysis find out various psychological complexes. One of these complexes, as found experts garvardtsy was some weird “set of Lenin.”

It was found that the majority of world leaders have pronounced innate set of authorities. In the struggle for power, people with such a complex, usually win, especially if they do not follow generally accepted standards of morality. If you help them make well-organized group of experts (the so-called puppeteers) with knowledge of human psychology in the Harvard project, then the opponents simply has a chance to win.

Today, with full confidence it can be argued that the professional group “puppeteers” ability to find and promote, as pawns in the global chess game, future leaders to power.

On this he wrote in his scandalous book “God’s people,” one of the former participants of the Harvard Project defector from the Soviet Union Gregory Klimov (Kalmykov Igor): “Any well-organized group of people who have knowledge on this forbidden subject, may find and promote to power future leaders as pawns in the global chess game. It goes without saying that the leaders of the degenerate sects who know this problem on their own skin and practices in this game for several thousand years, have a huge advantage over those who play without knowledge, without preparation, but also blind. “

Despite the fact that many of the conclusions of Klimov are controversial, and some even can not be accepted, it should be noted the validity of his claim that the effectiveness of such leaders can be comparable to weapons of mass destruction. For the Soviet Union it was even higher.

Examples of the success of the puppeteers are in the post-presidential election Saakashvili, Yushchenko and others

In early 1970 I had the opportunity to observe the use of American methods of testing to identify the leaders among the students the first year of the Vilnius Higher Military-Technical Institute of Radio Electronics. After 3 years of test results were confirmed by more than 80%.

An important outcome of the “Harvard Project” was to develop management techniques, as different groups and individuals. A classic example of effective tactics “puppeteers” in terms of manipulating the human personality is shown in the American film “The Game” with Michael Douglas in the title role. Circumstances formed by a group puppeteers organizers and psychologists, forcing the main character to go on suicide. But all ends happily, as this was a game that was supposed to return the hero Douglas zest for life.

There is no doubt that the “puppeteers” who have technique and knowledge of human psychology, can not only promote the power of future leaders, but to create the desired socio-political situation. However, as practice shows, the knowledge and anticipation of the main techniques used by Western puppeteers, in many cases can successfully resist them. So take Harvard method is absolutely invulnerable and super-efficient should not be.

Unfortunately, dogmatic certainty top Soviet political leadership in the “all-conquering power of Marxist-Leninist doctrine” is not allowed to organize a tribute to the opposition to these methods, when they became widely used against the USSR.

In this regard, it should be recognized that the collapse of socialist values and ideals is largely due to the methods of information-psychological war which the West spent on the basis of the Harvard Project. The results were largely determined the forms and methods of influence of Western special services and the media on citizens of the USSR. This is most clearly traced in radio broadcasts to the Soviet Baltic states and, in particular, to Lithuania. Implicit monitoring of public opinion, systematically conducted after the war, Western experts in Lithuania, is possible to change the tone of information to foreign broadcasts.

For example, until the 1960′s speakers “Free Europe and Voice of America” called Lithuanians resist Soviet power and wait for the combined forces of the West released the Baltic countries. But in the mid 1960′s tone changed. There were calls to join the Komsomol, the party, to enter higher education, work well and achieve a high position in Soviet society and to hold leadership positions.

This theme in the early 1970′s in the Komsomol Central Committee of Lithuania took zamzav. propaganda department Valery P. Systematized them the results of research topics and direction of Western radio stations broadcasting in Lithuania, were impressive. There was no change in tactics and strategy of our main ideological enemy the United States. These materials P. went to the Communist Party of Lithuania. There, however, after listening to them, said they were not of particular interest and suggested that this topic is no longer engaged.

Explain this, later identified as simply. In the event that the objectivity of research results SP are under suspicion significant part of Lithuanian intellectual elite, who came to the high Party and economic positions in the 1960-1970-ies.

Harvard will live?

The major cause of loss in information-psychological war of the West against the Soviet Union was the neglect of the Kremlin leadership to improve the welfare and living standards of the Russian people, as gosudarstvennoobrazuyuschey nation in the broad sense of the word. Having lived nearly half a century in Lithuania, in 1996-2000, I traveled to many regions of Russia and was shocked by the collapse and poverty. Of course, said the last 10 years of perestroika and the collapse of the USSR, but in 1985 the level and the living conditions of the Russian people in order yielded the same Baltic republics. Not accidentally, the Lithuanians, arguing with the Russian, as a rule, said: “What you teach us to live? First learn to live like human beings! “.

To learn how to live in central Russia, in an interview in 1990 suggested the President of Turkmenistan Saparmurat Niyazov: “In fact what is happening today, the Russian people not to blame. His system has brought. I was in the Russian villages, still working in the CPSU Central Committee in 1984, oversaw the Kursk and Belgorod region. Even then, in the villages of peasants ruin oneself by drink. And it is – the black earth! It is not rich in the USSR, not nazhilos or at whose expense. Yes, and at whose expense has been preying? In Indonesia, Khrushchev built the 100-thousand stadium, but we did not have a private playground. In the Congo, shipped heavy machinery, but here in the donkeys and camels to transport oil. So we have a common past, we at no one get offended, especially to Russia.

With the end of the Cold War, “Harvard Project” did not go into oblivion. In August 1997 Harvard Institute through “Nezavisimaya Gazeta» (№ 9, “NY-scripts”) informed the Russian public about the development of the New Harvard Project. Then a number of Russian analysts again rushed to the aid of Harvard experts. However, their advice to Harvard seemed maloprofessionalnymi.

Probably for this reason that in recent years began to appear on the creation of a new “Houston project, which is a logical continuation of Harvard, but focuses on contemporary Russia.

However, believing that technique Harvard-Houston project in the U.S. and in modern Russia are set to “distant” regiment in the archive, prematurely. “Bold” a piece of the pie of the world, which is Russia, will always be coveted Western transnational corporations and states. And for the comfortable consumption of this pie Russia should be weak, fragmented and not able to conduct an independent policy. So Harvard informational-psychological techniques impact on the Russians for a long time to be in the arsenal of our “good western friends.

To understand this truth is enough to analyze the information and mental focus is not only western, but Russian media. But in matters of falsifying the historical path of Russia, “Harvard spirit” felt a mile away. In a word “Harvard lived, Harvard alive, Harvard will live!”. Nevertheless, “Harvard wolf” is not so terrible as it draws some Russian commentators, if the Russians will not forget what world “predators” they live and not repeat past mistakes.
