WORLD SERVICE AUTHORITY ISSUES WORLD PASSPORT FOR SNOWDEN
16:26 10/07/2013 " SOCIETY
The World Service Authority (WSA), a Washington-based charity and
executive branch of the World Government of World Citizens, has
issued a world citizen passport for Former US national Edward Snowden,
who disclosed America's mass monitoring program, the Voice of Russia
reported.
"WSA Issues World Passport to Edward Snowden Based Upon Article 13
(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," reads the message
posted on the charity's Twitter page.
"This unprecedented situation reveals dramatically the power of
one individual versus the nation-state system, while highlighting
individual sovereignty. The fact that Snowden is immobilized in
a Moscow Airport Transit lounge further exposes the fiction of
nation-state frontiers," WSA's founder Garry Davis said.
The World Government of World Citizens has been issuing its passports
since September 1953, although only four countries - Mauritania,
Tanzania, Ecuador and Togo - recognize these IDs.

GERMANY CANCELS SPYING PACT WITH US, UK
09:52 03.08.13
Germany has canceled a Cold War-era surveillance pact with the US
and Britain on Friday in response to revelations by National Security
Agency leakerEdward Snowden about those countries' alleged electronic
eavesdropping operations, Ya Lybnan reported.
The move appeared largely symbolic, designed to show that the German
government was taking action to stop unwarranted surveillance directed
against its citizens without actually jeopardizing relations with
Washington and London. With weeks to go before national elections,
opposition parties had seized on Snowden's claim that Germany was
complicit in the NSA's intelligence-gathering operations.
Government officials have insisted that US and British intelligence
were never given permission to break Germany's strict privacy laws.
But they conceded last month that an agreement dating back to the late
1960s gave the US, Britain and France the right to request German
authorities to conduct surveillance operations within Germany to
protect their troops stationed there.
"The cancellation of the administrative agreements, which we have
pushed for in recent weeks, is a necessary and proper consequence
of the recent debate about protecting personal privacy," Germany's
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in a statement.
British Foreign Office brushed off the significance of the German
move. "It's a loose end from a previous era which is right to tie up,"
the Foreign Office said in a statement, noting that the agreement
had not been used since 1990.
A spokeswoman for the US embassy in Berlin, Ruth Bennett, confirmed
that the agreement had been canceled but declined to comment further
on the issue.
A German official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said the
cancellation would have little practical consequences.
He said the agreement had not been invoked since the end of the
Cold War and would have no impact on current intelligence cooperation
between Germany and its NATO allies. The official spoke on condition of
anonymity because he wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the issue.
Germany is currently in talks with France to cancel its part of the
agreement as well.
Public reaction in Germany to Snowden's revelations was particularly
strong, with civil rights campaigners recalling the mass
surveillancecarried out by secret police in communist East Germany
and during the Nazi era. Chancellor Angela Merkel went so far as to
raise the issue of alleged NSA spying with President Barack Obama
when he visited Berlin in June.
"The government needs to do something to show voters it's taking the
issue seriously," saidHenning Riecke of the German Council on Foreign
Relations, a Berlin-based think tank. "Ending an agreement made in
the pre-Internet age gives the Germans a chance to show they're doing
something, and at the same time the Americans know it's not going to
hurt them. Given the good relations between the intelligence agencies,
they'll get the information they need anyway."
According to Snowden, Germany has been a particular focus on U.S.
intelligence gathering operations in recent years. Several of those
who plotted and carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in
the United States had lived in Germany.
In March 2011, two U.S. Air Force members were killed and two wounded
when a gunman from Kosovo fired on a military bus at Frankfurt
International Airport. The gunman told police he was motivated by
anger over the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Re: Fascist USA
Press TV has talked with Kenneth O~RKeefe, a former US marine and
war veteran from London, to shed more light on the hawkish position
of the Western countries and their Persian Gulf allies against Syria.
- Ken O~RKeefe, let us talk about the US military action. It is quite
confusing; it went from a limited strike, initially said to last for
24 to 48 hours, those were some of the statements coming from Obama,
and now it seems that like it is an open-ended 90-day timetable.
What is your reading into that? General Dempsey saying it is not
bound to an immediate attack, it could be done in days or weeks from
now. It almost sounds like that this is much wider in scope than
initially introduced.
- Well, we have to have some semblance of understanding of what is
happening here and the idea that America would strike, a so-called
limited strike, is really quite ridiculous.
The ultimate endgame here is to get to Iran and the only way to
realistically get to Iran is to eliminate Syria as a threat because
if there is a war on Iran, Syria will also be able to attack Israel,
its nemesis, in tandem with Iran and this is the important aspect of
eliminating Syria as a tactical threat.
So to say that there are going to be limited strikes is really just
an insult to our intelligence yet again, ultimately this is really
begging the third world war and this is not a joke and everyone who
is paying attention knows this.
So, every war supposedly is going to start off with limited action,
but it will accelerate into a full-scale war and potentially into a
third world war and it would be foolish to think otherwise.
- Ken O~RKeefe, one thing that is very surprising about all of this
is..., again I am going to the military buildup that has occurred,
not to mention obviously what Syria has in its arsenal in terms of
weaponry, in terms of their airpower, and that is Israel~Rs security.
Why would ..., what appears to be US~R military attack that is going
to endanger that by retaliatory measures that perhaps might come from
Syria; we cannot forget what, and I am going to quote what the Syrian
Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Miqdad has said that we will not give
[in to attack threats] even if there was world war three.
- Yea, I think that it is really important for us to see the big
picture here and really understand what is going on. The powers that
be, which I will bring back to the bankers, those that control the
issuance of money and these are the real powers, that is real power,
as Baron Rothschild said in the 1800, I care not what government is
in power as long as I print the money.
If you want to know what power is, you need to know who controls the
money supply and those people who control the money supply, control the
politicians, they control the corporations, they control the mainstream
media; they control every aspect of human society with rare exceptions.
The countries that we see being attacked right now, are those countries
that are not bought and paid for by the banksters. So, Iran and Syria,
Venezuela was also being targeted for getting out of the IMF debt,
Libya was also part of this game, Iraq was also part of this game. We
see a pattern here of who is attacked.
Only those countries which are not part of the bankster system are
the ones that are targeted and this is very important for the rest
of the world, especially those of us in the West, who are being told
by our ... politicians that there is no money for social services,
that we need to increase tuition fees that pensioners, who work
their whole lives cannot afford even to pay for gas and die from
cold because the heating cannot be turned on in their homes, there
is no money for them but we can bail out the bankers to the tune of
trillions and we can continue ceaseless wars.
This is the big picture, this is the reality and this gentleman in
the United States is just absolutely delusional or he is bought and
paid for, because the bottom line is, this is going to turn into a
war which banksters relish because the banksters make tons of money
off of war. In fact, it is the best profit-making business of all
and even more importantly it keeps us, people, divided.
As long as we are fighting each other, we will not focus on who the
real criminal and psychopaths are; and the ones at the top of pyramid,
specifically the banksters, and all of the .... that work for them.
- Interesting point, Ken O~RKeefe go ahead!
- I absolutely have no problem whatsoever accepting that the corruption
that comes from bankster system, the financial fraud that is usury,
debt-based money being issued by private bankers, it pervades every
aspect of human society including the Russian society, there is no
question about that.
However, Russia is not going around the world setting up military
bases to the tune of over a thousand bases and attacking anywhere and
anything that is not down with the international bankster program;
that is the United States, that is doing that and that brings us back
to the real issue here as well with regards to the so-called use of
chemical weapons by the Assad regime.
This is absolutely insane to even be talking about this, because if
there is one nation on this planet that has no right, whatsoever,
to point the finger at anybody for the use of weapons of mass
destruction and including the chemical weapons, it is the United
States because as we know with recent reports that have been levied
from CIA, declassified reports about the CIA, we knew full well that
our attack dog Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons against
innocent people including the Kurds, innocent people in small cities
in Iran and hitting military personnel in Iran to the tune of tons
and tons and tons of Tabun, Sarin and mustard gas and guess what
we did? The United States, when our attack dog (Saddam Hussein) was
attacking Iran mercilessly with these weapons, not only we did not
stop him [but also] we continued to give him logistical support and
we provided the means for him to continue these attacks.
So, we have no problem whatsoever with using chemical weapons, we
used white phosphorus in Fallujah, we also used ungodly amounts of
Agent Orange in Vietnam. There are still people dying from cancers
from those chemicals. Birth defects in Fallujah have gone to the roofs.
So, the United States is in, absolutely, no position at all to be
talking about the use of weapons of mass destruction or chemical
weapons and it is beggar~Rs belief that anybody could stand up and
put forward the position of the United States that it is in any kind
of moral position or authority to talk about this.
If anyone needs to be punished, it is not the United States punishing
somebody else. It is the entire world which needs to punish the United
States for its continued act of aggression and its state-sponsored
terrorism that has now killed a million or two million people in
Iraq and continues to destroy lives mercilessly. It is the United
States of America, Israel and Britain, which are the real problem,
not Iran and not Syria.
[In response to Stewart Stogel]: I served three years in the [US]
military and if you want to take it in that direction I have no problem
answering any question about my time in service including my combat
service in the Marine Corps.
How much time have you served in the military? And have you been
involved in a war?
[In response to Stewart Stogel]: No, I was a brainwashed idiot like so
many of us who have been indoctrinated for years and years pledging
allegiance to the flag with liberty and justice for all. Saying that
every single day ends up making you rather stupid and I did not know
the truth about my country when I was 19 years old, I was an ignorant
kid and like so many other Americans I did not realize that until later
but thank God, I actually woke up at some point and realized the truth.
- Do you agree with that (Stewart Stogel~Rs comments) Ken O~RKeefe?
- Absolutely not! If a nation from halfway around the world that
had a history of violent aggressive acts, including state-sponsored
terrorism were banging down the doors of the United States or Britain
and threatening us with attacks, with bombings and so on and so forth,
we would have every right to defend ourselves with whatever means
we had. The people of Syria are voluntarily subjecting themselves
to a potential harm and in fact a potential death because they know
that the fall of the Assad government and the destruction of Syria,
as designed by those who fantasize about the Greater Israel Project,
who want to destabilize and create sectarian divide and merciless
killing for generations to come, that they have to do everything they
can to defend their country and the only thing they really have,
many of them, is their bodies. So, they are voluntarily submitting
to that and you have to admire their strength and courage in doing so.
What I would also say is that the tactic of using human shields,
which is something that is close to my heart since I initiated the
Human Shield Action to Iraq back in 2002, 2003, is that the importance
of human shields... , if indeed they are used, is that they must be
deployed to places that are supposed to be protected by the Geneva
Convention.
So, if what this gentleman says is true, which is not, but let us say
that it is true and they only intend to attack military sites, unlike
what they did in Iraq, which is they attacked all sorts of civilian
sites such as water treatment facilities and electrical power plants,
food storage sites; if human shields are deployed to sites that are
supposed to be protected by the Geneva Convention and those sites are
attacked by the United States, then let it be known first and foremost
and forever that the United States is in fact nothing more than a war
criminal who has attacked sites that are critical to the civilian
population, which punishes not Bashar al-Assad but the civilians,
women and children who will die from dysentery and other diseases,
waterborne carrying diseases and all sorts of other nonsense. This
is the truth. The United States will attack the infrastructure just
as it did with Iraq, if we are going to recall it back, in 2002,
2003 in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq.
They also said, Oh! We do not intend to attack the infrastructure!
That was a lie. Everything that comes out of the mouth of people like
John Kerry and Barack Obama and every other stooge that came before
them, is a lie.
How do you know they are lying? They open their mouth and you know
that they are lying.
- And Ken O~RKeefe, Stewart Stogel talks about how the US is doing the
dirty work ..., it was the al-Qaeda insurgents that are related to the
US in terms of the backing from the US doing their dirty work. Your
final comments?
- Well, let us be clear about this. We have no doubt that al-Qaeda
associates, al-Nusrah Front, who were caught with two kilos of Sarin
gas in Turkey, that is not Syria reporting that, that is the Turks
and we know that we have provided material support to the so-called
rebels in Syria, we also know that there are accusations that Israel
provided the Sarin gas to Prince Bandar (of Saudi Arabia), Bandar Bush
as he is known, who delivered those chemicals to the so-called rebels
in Ghouta for the recent massacre. That is the rebels themselves who
were saying that.
So, if that be true, and I believe it is, Barack Obama has provided
material support to al-Qaeda and this whole war on terror that we
supposedly fought for the last 12 years, is nothing more than a farce
used to justify military aggression by the United States at the behest
of the banksters. That is my assessment of what is happening and I
can defend it with more time if I had it.

Re: Fascist USA
GENOCIDE DENIER NAMED STATE DEPT. SPOKESMAN
Thursday, September 5th, 2013 | Posted
by Ara Khachatourian
Doug Frantz
WASHINGTON-Doug Frantz, the notorious Genocide denier and former
Los Angeles Times managing editor who lost his job when he blocked
the publication of an article about the Armenian Genocide penned by
journalist Mark Arax has been appointed the new spokesperson of the
US State Department, a White House memo reported.
Frantz's stint as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the State
Department will not be his first with Secretary of State John Kerry.
He worked as an investigation for the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee when Kerry was chairman.
The Armenian-American community came to know Frantz when in April
2007, as LA Times managing editor, he killed the publication of a
front-page story penned by Armenian-American journalist Mark Arax
about the Armenian Genocide resolution pending in Congress at the
time. In a memo to Arax, Frantz said the author's ethnicity posed a
conflict of interest.
This sparked a controversy and prompted the Armenian National Committee
of America-Western Region and other community leaders to launch a
grassroots campaign against Frantz and the LA Times demanding an
explanation and his resignation from his top post at the newspaper.
After an overwhelming response from the Armenian community and numerous
meetings by Armenian leaders with LA Times top brass at the time,
Frantz resigned in June 2007 and went to Istanbul.
Frantz has had long-standing ties to Turkey. He was stationed
in Istanbul for several years, first as bureau chief for The New
York Times and then as investigative reporter for the Los Angeles
Times. He had developed close contacts with various Turkish officials,
including the Turkish Consul General in Los Angeles who boasted in a
taped interview with Arax at the time about his special relationship
with Frantz who in May 2007 went to Istanbul to moderate a panel that
included a notorious genocide denier.Hayastan or Bust.Comment

Re: Fascist USA
EGYPT LASHES OUT AT U.S. OVER MILITARY AID SUSPENSION
October 10, 2013 - 14:04 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Obama administration on Wednesday, Oct 9,
announced a modest and temporary freeze on military assistance to
Egypt, even as American officials emphasized their desire to avoid
rupturing a security relationship that stretches back more than three
decades, The New York Times reports.
To signal its displeasure at the Egyptian military's bloody crackdown
on the Muslim Brotherhood, officials said, the United States would
withhold the delivery of several big-ticket items, including Apache
attack helicopters, Harpoon missiles, M1-A1 tank parts and F-16
warplanes, as well as $260 million for the general Egyptian budget.
But in a sign of how the administration is balancing its interests,
senior officials said the United States would continue aid for
counterterrorism programs as well as for Egypt's efforts to protect
its borders and secure Sinai, which has become a haven for extremists.
In announcing the decision, administration officials reiterated that
the Egyptian military's brutal repression of supporters of the ousted
president, Mohamed Morsi, was not acceptable. But in explaining their
specific steps, American officials sounded as if they were reaffirming
a valuable relationship rather than delivering a rebuke.
"This is not meant to be permanent; this is meant to be the opposite,"
a senior administration official said. "It is meant to be continually
reviewed." Still, the official added, "it's fair to say that holding
up hundreds of millions of dollars of assistance is a pretty clear
message."
"We will continue to hold the delivery of certain large-scale military
systems and cash assistance to the government pending credible progress
toward an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government through
free and fair elections," state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said,
according to BBC News.
Among the assistance that will be untouched, officials said, are
programs to train and educate Egyptian military officials in the
United States; the delivery of spare parts for many American-supplied
weapons; and aid for health care, education and the promotion of
business in Egypt.
Egypt has criticized the decision. Foreign ministry spokesman Badr
Abdelatty said the decision was wrong and Egypt would "not surrender
to American pressure and is continuing on its path towards democracy".
Like yeh USA wants to stop the Ecyptian government from cracking down on the muslm brotherhood but its perfectly fine for Israel to crack down on Palastinians hell they even get more aid for it.Hayastan or Bust.Comment

ITALIAN MAGAZINE SAYS NSA SPIED ON POPE
October 31, 2013 - 16:46 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Even the Pope has been spied on by the NSA, an
Italian magazine says, according to the Independent.
The Panorama news magazine says U.S. secret services monitored the
phone calls of Pope Benedict XVI, as well as those of his successor
Francis I. NSA staff listened in on cardinals before the conclave to
elect the Pope in March this year, it says.
In a press release ahead of the magazine's publication today,
Panorama said: "It is feared that the great American ear continued
to tap prelates' conversations up to the eve of the conclave on March
12, 2013."
It added that Archbishop Bergoglio, as he was called before he became
Pope in March, "had been a person of interest to the American secret
services since 2005, according to WikiLeaks". His election came after
Benedict XVI resigned on 28 February.
Panorama said the recorded Vatican conversations were among the 46
million phone calls followed by the NSA in Italy from December 10,
2012 to January 8, 2013.
The phone calls were apparently catalogued by the NSA in four
categories - leadership intentions, threats to the financial system,
foreign policy objectives and human rights.Hayastan or Bust.Comment
