Look your victims in the eyes: This is Iran, these are Iranians to be killed in the next US war

If you don’t already know that claims for war with Iran are all provable and absolute lies, start here. If you don’t know that US political and media “leaders” lie by omission that the US overthrew Iran’s democracy from 1953 to 1979 to install an oil-friendly dictator, and that the US supplied and directly aided the invasion of Iran from 1980 to 1988 to reinstall an oil-friendly dictator, continue here. These acts killed up to a million Iranians. This history is the proper context to consider lying US rhetoric for war with Iran. And if you’re not absolutely comfortable that “lying US rhetoric for war with Iran” is what is happening, go back to the link in the first paragraph. If you care to prevent a treasonous act of American mass-murder, consider how to communicate this information to your networks. You’re asking for the reasonable: that our military and government act under the US Constitution we pay them to actualize and they’ve sworn to support and defend.<< MORE >>

Mr E's Travel Vlog - Building a Badminton Court at the "Career Building International Academy"

In this episode, Andrew and I build a new badminton court for the children of the "Career Building International Academy" in the "Pepsi-Cola" District of Nepal. 

It was quite tough because we could not get the paint to stick to the dusty surface of the court. Finally, after multiple coats of watered down paint, we succeeded.

The children were very excited and could not wait for us to finish! This will be the last video in Kathmandu for a while as we left for Solukhumbu the next day after the court was completed. 

Keep an eye out for the bus ride and trekking episode coming this week!

Obama declares himself Emperor, no votes needed to pass bills, only the Emperor's signature...

Washington (CNSNews.com) – The White House declined on Thursday to rule out that President Barack Obama might sign future legislation, such as an immigration reform measure, that has not been put to a recorded yea-or-nay vote in both houses of Congress.

CNSNews.com asked White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs about the possibility of the president doing so because of a prospective lawsuit that Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin has prepared to file against the president if he signs a health care bill that has not been passed by a direct recorded yea-or-nay vote in the House of Representatives.

Israeli Historian Martin Karfeld: Israel Could Find Itself Forced To Wipe Out Europe

Israeli Historian: Israel Could Find Itself Forced To Wipe Out Europe

Noted Israeli military historian Martin Karfeld stated that Israel could find itself one day forced to exterminate the European continent using all kinds of weapons including its nuclear arsenal if it felt its demise neared, stressing that Israel also considers Europe a hostile target.

This came in a press interview broadcast by the seventh Hebrew radio and was translated on Wednesday into Arabic by the press information analysis and study center.

“We have hundreds of nuclear warheads and missiles that can reach different targets in the heart of the European continent, including beyond the borders of Rome, the Italian capital,” Karfeld said, adding that most of the European capitals would become preferred targets for the Israeli air force.

The Israeli historian reiterated Israel’s ability to destroy the whole world whenever it felt its existence would be doomed to extinction.

As for the Palestinians, the historian said that Israel at the present time pursues a specific strategy based on mass deportation of the Palestinian people and has intentions to expel all Palestinians without exception, but it is awaiting the right moment to take this step.

“Two years ago, there was only seven to eight percent of the Israelis believing in this solution towards the Palestinians and just two months ago this percentage rose amongst the Israelis to 33 percent, but today, according to a survey conducted by Gallup institute, this figure surged to 55 percent,” he noted.

The historian highlighted that Israel must take advantage of any incident that would give it a golden opportunity to expel the Palestinians as happened in Deir Yassin massacre in 1948.

Replying to a question whether Israel does not have fears of being classified as a criminal state if it expelled Palestinians, he said, “Israel is a state that does not care about what others say about it and you must remember the saying of former defense minister Moshe Dayan when he said that ‘Israel must always act as a wild dog because it should be dangerous in the eyes of others, rather than be harmed.’”

From the “Young Star Club” Library in Nepal – I’m reading “Indian Spiritual Gurus: 19th Century”

I feel very lucky to have stumbled across this book.

Here are some excerpts from the foreword by Dr. G.V.G.Krishnamurty:

In the history of homosapiens, thecontribution, service, sacrifice, progress, spiritual thoughts and value-systemevolved by the preceding generations had its profound impact on the futuregenerations, irrespective of the nationalities and faiths across the world.Human maturity and enlightenment of souls depend on the lessons it has learntfrom the past experiences, to make life fruitful, purposeful and enjoyable thuscreating life a sense of fulfillment.

            SamiVivekananda, the prince among the modern spiritualist, said more than a centuryago, “We want to lead mankind to the place where there is neither the Vedas,nor the Bible, nor the Koran, yet this has to be done by harmonizing the Vedas,the Bible and the Koran. Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but thevaried expression of the religion, whichis oneness, so that each may choose the path that suits them best.”

            AsCharles Colton, an eminent English spiritualist, observed, “Men will wranglefor religion, write for it, fight for it, die for it, anything but live forit”. Therefore, any attempt to ponder over religions and their value systemwould reassure human race better life, progress and prosperity and notpremature death and destruction in the name of religions.

            Inall major and minor religions in the world, spiritual masters sprung up fromtime to time to teach and preach values to be inculcated in life according totheir faith and belief. Prominent religions in the world currently includeHinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam,Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Shintoism, and Baha’ism among others. The adherentsand practitioners of these religions believe in the preaching’s of therespective religious and spiritual masters. So are in the rituals.

            Lifeis an experiment with body, mind, intellect and environment leading toenjoyment and playing in the value-oriented field on this earth. Destiny,death, disease and history are no respector of personalities. Bhagavad Gita preaches that every one bornmust die, and every one who dies must be reborn: “Jatasya hi dhruvam mrutyum dhruvam janma mrutasya cha”.

            Religionsare to unite human race and not divide or destroy whatever may be the reasonswhether material or non-material. Spiritual Masters all over the globe forcenturies, irrespective of their religions, championed eloquently about thegoal of existence to ensure useful, purposeful and pleasant life on this planetending in peaceful death and not violent ever.

            Ithas now been established that a human being is a complex combination of body,soul, mind and intellect and is subject to the environment, which can benatural, social, religious, civilisational and spiritual or a combination oftwo or more. Animal instincts like Kama(desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha (miserliness), Moha (lust), Mada (ego), Matsarya (jealousy)dominate all thoughts and deeds in all living beings including humans. In anysociety people exist with permutations and combinations of different instincts.

            Spiritualenlightenment is necessary to keep such instincts in full control to attain variouslevels of mental fulfillment and satisfaction. Spirituality is above religion,secularism, morals and ethics. It speaks of universally accepted value-system,endorsed by all religions of the world at all times, for the human race to livein peace while achieving progress and prosperity leading to both physical,mental and metaphysical happiness during the life-span.

            Inall religions – prominent and non-prominent – the spiritual values are surelysimilar or parallel, even though rituals and practices are different, sometimesdiametrically opposite. Yoga Vasishtaof Maharshi Vasishta or Bhagavad Gitaof Lord Krishna, or Viveka Chudamaniof Adi Sankara or Tripatika of LordBuddha or Anga of Mahavira, or Analects of Confucius, or Talmud in Judaism, or Holy Bible of Christianity, or Zenda Vesta or Zoraster, or Holy Quran of Islam, or Guru Grantha Sahib of Sikhism, preach only one thing to mankind, i.e. toachieve universal peace, love and brotherhood.

            Whatall spiritual masters all over the world preached for centuries has been that “Religions may be different but God is onlyone.” In this millennium, human race is in great need of spiritual culture,which converges in attainment of peaceful co-existence of all religions andbeliefs and embraces all contours secularism professes. Thus, secularism is notnegation of religion or spirituality. Secularism has only one meaning, i.e.acceptance of all faiths, rituals and beliefs and according to recognition,respect and tolerance towards them irrespective of agreement or disagreement oftheir principles or theories to achieve salvation.

            Ina secular state, a Hindu must have the right to go to the temple and must haveto the freedom to pray; a Buddhist must have the right to go to the vihara and must have the freedom to bowdown in meditation; a Jew must have the right to go to the synagogue and musthave the freedom to worship; a Christian must have the right to go the churchand must have the freedom to do the mass; a Muslim must have the right to go tothe mosque and must have the freedom to do namaz;a Sikh must have the right to go to gurudwaraand must have the freedom to pay obeisance before the Guru Grandha Sahib, etc.

            Itis therefore, obvious that religions are fleeting and spiritual values areeternally secular irrespective of different forms and shapes they may assume inthe horizon of time.

            Bahaifaith, one of the nascent in the world, says, “Nations and tribes of the world,who are always at war, turn your face towards unity and let the brightness ofits light shine upon you.”

            HolyQuran says, “Whoever relieves a human being of grief in this world, God willrelieve him of grief on the day of the judgment.” Judaism ordains people “to dojustice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Lord Jesusproclaimed: “All human beings are children of God… Men should care and helpeach other in sorrow and distress and have sympathy to less fortunate.”

            LordBuddha ordained his disciples: “Go unto lands and preach this gospel. Tell themthat the poor and the lowly, the rich and the high, are all one and that allcastes unite in this religion, as the rivers in the sea.”

            LordMahavira’s spiritualism involved “universal love, compassion and sympathy forall living beings.” Confucius firmly believed: “If there be righteous in theheart, there will be beauty in character; if there is beauty in character,there will be harmony in the home; if there be harmony in the home, there willbe order in the nation; if there be order in the nation, there will be peace inthe world.”

            GuruNanak Dev observed: “In this dish are placed three things – truth, harmony, andwisdom. These are seasoned with the name of God which is the basis of all;whoever eats it and relishes, will be saved.”

            SwamiVivekananda, one of the leading exponents of India in spirituality, proclaimed:“The Parliament of Religions has proved to the world that holiness, purity andcharity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world – upon thebanner of every religion will soon be written, in spite of resistance; help andnot fight; assimilation and not destruction; harmony and peace not dissention.”

            LordKrishna, in his Bhagavad Gitadeclared centuries ago his incarnation of God and observer: “I am in religionas the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever you see extraordinary powerraising and purifying humanity, know that I am there. The Hindu religion is allthings of all people and different things for different people.”

            Worldspiritual leaders sprung up time and again in mankind to purify the society,preach universal spiritual and sacred values, and, in the process, get rid ofthe reigning evils, to enable human race to ascend the ladder from demonalityto divinity.

             The spiritual leaders, in turn, want toensure that they enable souls to merge with God, the eternal source which isomnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient presiding over the past, present, andfuture of the universe.

            Spiritualismin human history is above religion, beliefs and rituals. Spiritual masters andspirituality belong to the whole human race, irrespective of the part of theglobe they live. Spiritual masters are like candles, determined to burnthemselves to give light to the people. Therefore, resort to spiritualism alonein the coming centuries enable homosapiens to march into the future to apurposeful and blissful life to live with confidence and enlightenment.

Benjamin Fulford: The Amero Plan is back, this time backed by Gold

The Amero plan is back, this time backed by gold: BIS source

The US dollar is about to be replaced by the Amero at a rate of two dollars to one Amero, according to a high level financial source in Switzerland. The Amero will replace the US and Canadian dollars and the Mexican peso, he says. It will be backed by Mexican and Canadian gold, the source adds.

The decision was made at a high level within the Western secret government, he says. The introduction of the Amero will be followed by a dismantling of the Federal Reserve Board, he says. Once the announcement is made, people will have exactly 30 days to convert their dollars to Ameros before the dollars become worthless.

The Western government does not want to cede control of its financial system to China so a decision was made to go with the gold-backed Amero, he says.

Of course many holders of dollars may decide to opt away from the Amero and trade their dollars for other currencies, notably the Chinese yuan and the Hong Kong dollar.

We will seek to confirm this news from other sources and will provide updates if necessary.

My New Mission and Three Vows of Sincerity

By: David Eric Allen (aka Mr. E)

“Supreme Sincerity Evokes Resonance” is a Taoist Proverb that I like to repeat over and over in my head while traveling.

I would like to define the word “Bodhisattva” in the terms of Buddhism for those who are unaware.

-        To me it can have two meanings –

1.  “Anyone who has dedicated their entire life to enlightening others”

2.  “A Buddha-to-be”

a.   For those unaware, anyone can become a “Buddha” if they aspire to do so.

Before Jesus Christ there was no Christianity, and before Muhammad there was no Islam.

After thinking long and hard, I have come to an important hypothesis.

I believe Jesus Christ and Muhammed could have actually been followers of Buddhism and therefore would have been considered “Bodhisattvas” in their own respective times.

Is this so hard to consider since you now know the definition of “Boddhisattva”?

Christianity is now close to 2000 years old and Islam is now around 1300 years old, yet Buddhism is older than both by about 600 years.

As a history major, one of the most important things that I learned is that it is impossible as an historian to be 100% objective in recording history. You can be close, but never 100%. With that said, is it possible that over the course of the past 2000 years and 1300 years respectfully some of the original writings in the Bible and Qur’an could have been lost or re-written by historians who wanted to hide aspects of Buddhism or even Hinduism?

I think this is definitely a possibility.

Islam and Christianity share their origins in the Abrahamic tradition, as does Judaism. Islam accepts many aspects of Christianity as part of its faith - sometimes with differences in interpretation.

Islam teaches that Jesus (Isa) was the second most important prophet (after Muhammad).

According to Muslims, Jesus was a human prophet who brought mankind to a closer relationship with God and each other.

The whole notion that we are immortal enemies is ridiculous and has been carefully planned by certain humans over the course of history for their own specific benefits.

Both religions were initially established on the ideals of “Peace, Love, and Understanding.”, but now we try to spread them through fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of being outcast, and fear of going to hell. Hopefully, this will change with the removal of ignorance in all societies.

Throughout history, Popes, Kings, Clerics, and Shahs have manipulated or “spun” the Bible and Qur’an to call for Holy Wars on other religions.

The “Crusades” were fought to “cleanse” men of their sins in Christianity, but in reality it was nothing more then mass genocide, raiding of wealth, and a temporary transferring of power.

Both religions must rededicate themselves to their initial values.

On the other hand, a massive global superpower is not invading, bombing, and destroying the majority of the Judeo-Christian world like we are doing to the Muslim world.

As an individual who was born a Christian, it pains me to see this take place. I have committed myself and all at my disposal to the objective mission of stopping this genocidal “Crusade” and re-establishing Peace within the world.

“All truth passes through three stages.

First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” ~

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

To demonstrate my sincerity for this documentary and volunteering trip, as well as my research into this subject, I have chosen to make and stick to 3 vows until absolute peace prevails.

1.  I will not eat red or white meat (unless someone makes it for me unknowingly I will eat it out of respect, and I will eat fish but only if I catch it myself).

2.  I will not smoke or drink or take any drugs (prescription or not, unless it is absolutely necessary for my health) into my body that will hamper my ability whatsoever to perform this mission at hand.

3.  I will become 100% celibate and will wait for any type of sexual contact until the day of my marriage (if that ever comes).

As of right now, these vows have came into immediate effect.

A man cannot truly know himself, unless he has learned to conquer all temptations in life.

I hope that others will follow in my footsteps in order to stand up for Peace, but it is not necessary.

I am prepared to hold this burden on my shoulders alone if need be.Don’t just say it. Do it.

Make a change in your life for the better and it will make the world a better place as well.

Don’t consider it a boring life, consider it a bold life.

Find the similarities that connect us all, not the differences.

Over the course of the next year of my journey, I will be studying the Bible, the Qur’an and various Buddhist texts to find out the similarities between each religion. Whether it was removed 500,1000, or 1500 years ago, it could have happened and probably did.

Even though I was born a Christian, I grew up a skeptic. I was never baptized, nor did I read the Bible more then what was absolutely required. This will allow me to form the most objective opinion as possible when reading and studying both books…

In order for us to become a better world and society, the Bible and Qur’an’s history, as well as our world’s history, must be re-written. Hopefully, this will help remove the ignorance and usher in a new time period of Peace.

“Love conquers all and the truth shall set us free…”

Mr. E's Travel Dialogues: How To Live out of a Backpack for a Full Year

As Henry David Thoreau once said, 

"Even the elephant carries but a small trunk on his journeys. The perfection of traveling is to travel without baggage."

The bigger the pack:

- the more gear you have to lose, the bigger target you are for thieves, the harder it is to run away from them.

- the bigger the sweat stains, the more odor you emit, the more often you have to wash.

- the more difficult it is to run for a train, the harder it is to lift the pack over your head into a luggage rack.

- the harder it is to walk around, the more desperately you need to find a place to leave all your stuff, the bigger the locker you'll need everywhere you go, the more you'll need to pay to leave it...


AND SO, I thought I would make a small pre-doc on my packing list and how to live out of a backpack for a full year.

Civilized World Must Protect Iran and Consequently Itself


Just one look at the map will tell you...something ominous is brewing. Iran is completely surrounded by elements of the evil empire. Iran is on a hit list. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the empire has drawn up a hit list after which several countries, one after the other, have been ravaged after a plethora of lies and deception. No doubt this hit list was drawn up in Tel Aviv.

In over 200 years, Iran has done absolutely nothing to infringe on its neighbors. However, quite the contrary is true. Iran has suffered regime change before at the hands of outsiders and has not forgotten it.

For more than half a century, Britain and the US have menaced Iran. In 1953, the CIA and MI6 overthrew the democratic government of Muhammed Mossadeq, an inspired nationalist who had the nerve to believe that Iranian oil belonged to Iran. They overthrew him and installed the venal Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and, through a monstrous creation called Savak, built one of the most vicious police states of the modern era until the current leadership formed the Islamic Revolution.

Iran is a country of great history and culture, and a people that welcomed their Christian neighbors with open arms when they were under threat of total extinction.

Now we are supposed to believe that Iran has certain evil intents regarding Israel and incredibly the rest of the entire world. We are being lied to by the masters of lies, the father of lies. Let us start with this "wipe Israel off the map" stupidity to show the lowest depths these liars and merchants of war and genocide will sink. This is what President Ahmadinejad really said:

"Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad."

One word rings a bell here and stands out: rezhim-e. It is the word "Regime", pronounced just like the English word with an extra "eh" sound at the end. Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the country or Israel the land mass, but the Israeli regime.

This is a significant difference, as one cannot wipe a regime off the map. Ahmadinejad does not even refer to Israel by name, he instead uses the specific phrase "rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods" (regime occupying Jerusalem). So this raises the question.. what exactly did he want "wiped from the map"? The answer is: nothing. That's because the word "map" was never used. The Persian word for map, "nagsheh", is not contained anywhere in his original Farsi quote, or, for that matter, anywhere in his entire speech. Nor was the western phrase "wipe out" ever said.

Yet we are led to believe that Iran's President threatened to "wipe Israel off the map", despite never having uttered the words "map", "wipe out" or even "Israel".

According to Farsi-language experts like Juan Cole and even right-wing services like MEMRI, what he actually said was "this regime that is occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time."

The current fuss about Iran's nuclear enrichment program is playing out so identically to US canards about Iraq's WMD that we must wonder why it is not meeting only roaring international derision. This is especially considering the multiple agendas obviously in play regarding Iran -- oil, US hegemony, Israel and neocon fantasies of a "new Middle East" mouthed by the liar of all liars, Condi Rice on behalf of the Bush administration.

On December 18, 2003, Iran signed the NPT (nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) Additional Protocol on Nuclear Safeguards, according greater access and the possibility of intrusive inspections to Iran's nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This treaty specifically gives Iran the right to use nuclear energy for PEACEFUL purposes.

On the other hand, Israel sits on over 200 nuclear devices and refuses to sign the NPT. Israel's nuclear facilities are not available and totally closed for outside inspection by the IAEA.

Meir Dagan, the Chief of Mossad, told parliament members in his inaugural appearance before the Israeli Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Iran was close to the "point of no return" and that the specter of Iranian possession of nuclear weapons was the greatest threat to Israel since its inception.

But who are Israel, the USA or the west to speak about dishonesty, bad intentions, secret plans, dastardly threats and all sorts of other paranoid garbage?

Should Iran be attacked, the entire world could well be thrown into a world war. No matter what one thinks of the powers in charge of the Islamic republic, is this what you want in your future? Nuclear war or world war breaking out because of lies from liars with long track records of lies such as weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Time for the civilized world to act in unison to stop the war pigs once and for all.

Daniel Rubin: Arabic flash cards got him detained at airport

A federal agent sizing up Nick George might peg him as Most Likely To Be Recruited By The CIA. He's a physics major at a top college, he minors in Middle Eastern studies, speaks Arabic, has lived in Jordan and is adventurous enough to have backpacked through Sudan and Egypt.

At Philadelphia International Airport last August, his interest in the world got him handcuffed.

The Wyncote native was detained for five hours after Transportation Security Administration screeners grew suspicious about something in his pockets.

Arabic-language flash cards.

He spoke as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Tehran to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

Investigators declare, “Obama never attended Columbia University”

American Grand Jury has archived extensive records over the past year which we used in our jury hearings.  We now believe beyond a reasonable doubt that Obama is not a “natural born” citizen and it is even possible that he may be an illegal alien.

We also have records showing the Democratic National Convention fraudulently declared Obama constitutionally eligible while never vetting the “natural born” requirement with the electorate.

Did anyone see the "green police" commercial during the superbowl? Very disturbing...

It was funny but also kinda disturbing on how far they went in the commercial. Maybe a sign of things to come?

Maybe they are trying to prepare us for the global NWO's new rules and punishments.

Your thoughts?

Absolute proof: A Pentagon picture montage from start to finish on 9/11/01

ABSOLUTE proof is hard to find but it is utterly necessary in some cases, a murder for example, a robbery, something where people's lives are at stake.

I have found that proof, thanks to a valiant effort by, and my opposition to, some very diligent believers in the Original Story given to us by the media on 9/11. Take a look!  ... << MORE >>

Rorschach's Journal: Last Night, a Comedian Died in New York... "Goldman Helped Push A.I.G. to Precipice"

This was no accident, no act of God. No unforeseen mishap, no simple miscalculation.

Somebody pushed AIG out a window, to collect the insurance. Then they saw the opportunity to extort billions from the Congress and a Presidency in transition by bringing the financial system to the point of collapse. And they took it. And somebody knows who and how they did it.

Somebody knows. ... << MORE >>

Another Look at Obama's Origins

The murky circumstances of Obama's birth invite attempts to make the known facts fit together. This article was prompted by two emails. The first asked me why I had never weighed in on the birth certificate controversy surrounding President Barack Obama. 

I responded that although I was troubled by the lack of documentation regarding all phases of Obama's history -- I'd be content with his SAT scores -- I could not understand why ...
