"Virtually every opinion poll puts Nahda, the main Islamist party, in the lead...

"Last week two prisoners died in the third jail riot since January.
In Germany, 23% blame the US government and 1% blame Israel. In Britain, 57% blame al Qaeda. (Who Was Behind 9/11?)
Of course, the US government, al Qaeda and Israel all work together. Al Qaeda was set up by the US government, which many people say is increasingly manipulated by Israel. (Al Qaeda – The Database)
Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, "told an Italian newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies."(thewe.cc/mossad.htm)
Mossad pulls the strings in many countries and organisations.
The German government is suspected of involvement in the decision to grant bail to Uri Brodsky, the suspected Israeli intelligence agent wanted for alleged involvement in the killing of a Hamas leader in Dubai. (Israeli 'agent' freed in Germany / Angela Merkel?)
Zev Barkan aka Bruckenstein was at one time a Mossad agent in Brussels. Reportedly, Barkan got Bernard Weinstein involved with Marc Dutroux's organisation, so that blackmail could be applied to Dutroux's customers. Dutroux was at the centre of an international child abuse and murder ring.- MOSSAD'S MURDEROUS ACTIVITIES IN AUSTRIA, DUBAI, MUMBAI ...Reportedly, Mossad operative Zev Barkan and his accomplices ran a studio making snuff and porno movies in the Mekong River town of Pen Yauin in Cambodia. (aangirfan: AUSTRALIAN JEWS UNDER SURVEILLANCE)
Mossad has infiltrated all the political groups in Lebanon (Christian, Druze, Sunni and Shia.)
The UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is expected to charge Lebanon's Hezbollah with the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
The STL has, as its chief prosecutor, Daniel Bellemare of Canada.
Bellemare is suspected by Lebanese intelligence of having close previous contacts with agents of both the CIA and Mossad.
Bellemare is suspected of using doctored cell phone intercepts pointing the "smoking gun" at Hezbollah.
Mossad operations in Lebanon are being supported by Saudi Arabia.
Mossad and the CIA are said to work with a Sunni group in Lebanon which includes a member of the family of Ziad al-Jarrah, one of the alleged 9 11 hijackers.
Former Syrian Vice President Abdel Halim Khaddam, who accused Syria's President Assad of ordering Rafik Harir's assassination, is tactically backed by Israel and the United States.
Khaddam's group receives support from Mossad and the CIA.
Canadian Stefan Christoff supports the Palestinians..
In the past eight months at least seven of Christoff’s friends have been visited by Canadian spooks (CSIS agents).
The pro-Israel Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper has equated support for Palestinian rights with extremism.
The Conservatives have strengthened Canadian intelligence cooperation with Israel.
In his 1990 book Official Secrets: The story behind the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Richard Cléroux noted that "Mossad agents are located in every major [Canadian] city, working closely with CSIS."
Mossad agents have used Canadian passports to carry out numerous foreign assassinations.
1. Israel's intelligence agencies target the United States intensively.
Israel leads all others in its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense Department.
It also dominates two commercial sectors that enable it to extend its reach inside America’s domestic infrastructure: airline and telecommunications security.
Israel is believed to have the ability to monitor nearly all phone records originating in the United States, while numerous Israeli air-travel security companies are known to act as the local Mossad stations.
2. Ben-Ami Kadish, who admitted to providing defense secrets to Israel while working as an engineer at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, walked out of a Manhattan court after paying a fine.
And what about Pakistan, Iran, China and Russia?
General Aslam Beg, Pakistan's former army chief, notes in an article that the Strategic Partnership Deal between India and the United States has led to the creation of a joint espionage network comprising the CIA, Israel’s Mossad, Britain’s MI6, India’s Research and Analysis Wing, and others in Afghanistan engaged in destabilizing Pakistan and Iran, China, Russia and other Central Asian states. (aangirfan: Pakistan and China versus Mossad, CIA, RAW and MI6)
Saudi Arabia's Abdullah meets Syria's Assad in Lebanon in July 2010. Does this mean that Syria is distancing itself from Iran or that Saudi Arabia is now less friendly with the USA and Israel?
Iran, Syria, Lebanon's Hezbollah, and Palestine's Hamas are usually seen as being on one side.
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Jordan and United States are usually seen as being on the other side.
Saudi Arabia fears that the USA and Israel want eventually to treat Saudi Arabia as they are at present treating Pakistan.
"One of the largest arms deals in US history, involving the sale of weaponry worth some $60bn to Saudi Arabia, is likely to go through Congress without significant objections, according to people on Capitol Hill...
"People knowledgeable about the deal say a big factor smoothing its passage is Israel's relatively relaxed position, at a time when it and Saudi Arabia are both focusing on a possible threat from Iran... 'The lack of Israeli opposition is very telling,' said a congressional staffer..."
On 23 July 2010, World Net Daily reported that, according to "Arab security sources", Mossad boss Meir Dagan recently made a secret visit to Saudi Arabia to discuss Iran. (Arab countries working with Israel on Iranian nuke threat)
In 2009, it was reported that Dagan met Saudi spy chiefs to get assurances that Saudi Arabia would turn a blind eye to Israeli jets using Saudi airspace during any raid on Iran's nuclear plans. (Saudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran - Times Online)
After Israel invaded Lebanon, this Lebanese family ended up in a Refugee Camp in Beirut. United Nations Photo. Israel wants the water resources of the Litani river in Lebanon.
Are we being conned about an attack on Iran?
Is Lebanon the real target?
Israel Shamir, who may be a disinformation agent (ISRAEL SHAMIR IS A FAKE?), has views on the subject.
"The most likely interpretation for the sabre-rattling is that the Israelis plan yet another invasion of Lebanon, while hoping that Iran will be scared into immobility by the threat of an all-out war."
1. Until the 1930s, the United States had plans for the invasion of Canada.
But the USA did not invade Canada.
(It did infiltrate Canadian institutions - Aangirfan)
2. The United States cannot win a non-nuclear war with Iran.
3. The U.S. could 'win' by dropping hundreds of nuclear weapons on Iran, killing five to 10 million people.
4. In the 1990s, Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism adviser in the White House, revealed that the Clinton administration had considered a bombing campaign against Iran, but the military told them not to do it.
"After a long debate, the highest levels of the military could not forecast a way in which things would end favourably for the United States," he said.
5. Any halt to Iran's oil exports would raise the oil price sky high and seriously hurt industry.
Iran could block a large part of global oil exports by sinking tankers coming from Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the other Arab Gulf states.
6. Iran could supplying surface-to-air missiles to the Taliban in Afghanistan, and that would shut down the U.S. military effort there.
(The arrival of U.S.-supplied Stinger missiles in Afghanistan in the late 1980s drove Russian helicopters from the sky and doomed the Soviet intervention there.)
7. Iranian ballistic missiles could strike American bases in the Gulf.
Iran's Hezbollah allies could drop missiles on Israel.
8. If the US resorts to the nuclear option, pressure on it to stop the war would mount as the world's industries and transport ground to a halt.
The result would be an embarrassing retreat by the United States.
That was the outcome of all the war games the Pentagon played.
"A confidante of Netanyahu, Ari Shavit, has told us that 'the Israeli leader applied hidden pressure to the American leader,' which made him fall on his knees and beg for mercy.
"The name of the 'hidden pressure' is a Jewish billionaire from Chicago Lester Crown, who 'made Obama' and supposedly retains full control over his creature, or alternatively, another Jewish Chicagoan Marty Nesbitt...
"After Iran, Syria would fall.
"After Syria, Saudi Arabia.
"It will be the classic domino game: Iran rejoiced when Iraq fell.
"A few months after 9/11, Rand Corporation analyst Laurent Murawiec briefed Richard Perle’s Defence Policy Board, calling upon the US to break up Saudi Arabia.
"Its oil fields should be targeted and its financial assets seized, advised this neocon."
"The riches of the Arabian Peninsula hoodwink the Jews, being tantalisingly within the reach of IDF Merkaba tanks.
They have too many good reasons to undo Saudi Arabia.
- The Saudis have too much money, too much oil and too few friends.
- The elimination of all Saudi financial assets will invigorate the flabby Dow Jones average and strengthen the weakened dollar.
- This prosperous and well-armed country must be reduced before Israel takes its most important step, the seizure and destruction of the beautiful Umayyad Mosques in Jerusalem.
"With the destruction of Iran, the countdown for the takeover of Saudi Arabia would begin.
"In words of a neocon: 'Everyone wants to take out Tehran. But real mensch wants to take out ar-Riyadh'.
"Provided that no attack on Iran is possible without Saudi connivance, the 'irony of history' will be complete.
"The enemies of Israel will be taken out one after another, each with help of the next, still unsuspecting victim."
1. The killing of civilians is intended to trigger a response by Palestinian resistance forces, which in turn justifies Israeli retaliation.
2. Several high level US-Israel meetings were held in the months prior to the May 31st attacks.
Rahm Emmanuel, Obama's White House chief of Staff was in Tel Aviv a week prior to the attacks.
The Israeli press confirmed that Rahm Emmanuel had a meeting with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, whose Ministry was responsible for overseeing the Commando attack on the Flotilla.
3. At the time of Rahm Emmanuel's confirmation as White House chief of staff, there were reports in the Middle East media of Rahm Emanuel's connections to Israeli intelligence.
4.Israel, although exercising a certain degree of autonomy in military and strategic decisions, will not act unilaterally, without receiving the "green light" from Washington.
5. Washington influences the direction of Israeli politics.
There have been reports to the effect that Rahm Emmanuel would "lead a team of high octane Democratic party pro-Israel political operatives to run the campaign for the Defense Minister Ehud Barak" against Netanyahu in the next Israeli election.
(Ira Glunts, Could Rahm Emanuel Help Barak Unseat Netanyahu? Palestine Chronicle, June 2, 2010)
6. The attack on the Freedom Flotilla is intended to create conditions favoring an atmosphere of confrontation and escalation in the Middle East war theater.
"All the signs are that Israel has been stepping up its provocations to engineer a casus belli for a war against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"Tel Aviv sees as unfinished business its inconclusive wars: the first in Lebanon in 2006, and the second in Gaza in 2008-09."
(Jean Shaoul Washington Comes to the Aid of Israel over Gaza Convoy Massacre, Global Research, June 4, 2010)
7. Netanyahu has stated "We will not allow the establishment of an Iranian port in Gaza," suggesting that the Gaza blockade was part of the pre-emptive war agenda directed against Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
(Israeli forces board Gaza aid ship the Rachel Corrie - Telegraph, June 5, 2010) .
The raid on the Flotilla coincided with NATO-Israel war games directed against Iran.
8.Israel and Turkey are partners and major actors in the US-NATO planned aerial attacks on Iran, which have been in the pipeline since mid-2005.
The rift between Turkey and Israel undermines ongoing US-NATO-Israel pre-emptive war plans directed against Iran, which until recently were endorsed by the Turkish military.
The Israeli-Turkish military alliance was directed against Syria, as well as Iran and Iraq.
During the Clinton Administration, a triangular military alliance between the US, Israel and Turkey had unfolded.
Starting in 2005, Israel has become a de facto member of NATO.
9. Israel's blockade of Gaza is in large part motivated by the broader issue of control of Gaza's territorial waters, which contain significant reserves of natural gas.
What is at stake is the confiscation of Palestinian gas fields and the unilateral de facto declaration of Israeli sovereignty over Gaza's maritime areas.
If the blockade were to be broken, Israel's de facto control over Gaza's offshore gas reserves would be jeopardy.
(See Michel Chossudovsky,War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields, Global Research, January 8, 2009. See also Michel Chossudovsky, The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil, Global Research, July 23, 2006)
Reportedly, Israel would like to take over Southern Lebanon, in order to get Southern Lebanon's water supplies.
Maps of Greater Israel show Israel in control of parts of Syria.
And all of Gaza.
And parts of Iraq.
So, a war might be needed.
On 20 May 2010, the Financial times had an article entitled "Threat of war across region..." which refers to a possible Israeli attack on Lebanon and Syria.
Step 1
There is an attack on Iran.
Step 2
In Lebanon, Hizbollah is expected to side with Iran.
Step 3
Israel invades Lebanon.
Step 4
Israel claims that the supply lines for Hizbollah's missiles run through Syria.
Israel attacks Syria.
Step 5
Hamas in Gaza is said to have the support of Iran.
Gaza becomes involved in the conflict.
Step 6
Other areas which could become involved include: Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar...
