إنهم المسيحيون الحقيقيون ...يحبون أعدائهم ويباركون لاعنيهم ، ويشحذون سكاكين ذابحيهم

"Live Like Mohamed. Fight Like 'Ali. Die Like Hussein."

إنهم المسيحيون الحقيقيون ...يحبون أعدائهم ويباركون لاعنيهم ، ويشحذون سكاكين ذابحيهم

....حقاَ إن هذه الروح الحسينية تستحق الإجلال

الشيعة والحسم صنوان متلاصقان ولكنهما ضدان لا يلتقيان ، يحسمون معاركهم إنتصارات بالدم أو بالسيف ، بالدم مقتولين دون أن يستسلموا أو بالسيف منتصرين، ولكنهم مع ذلك كانوا الخاسرين سياسيا على الدوام .

كانت ثورات التوابين والثقفي في القرون الهجرية الاولى نصرا عسكريا كبيرا مدفوعا بتضحية الحسين وشهادته، ولكن نظرة عدم القداسة التي تعامل بها زين العابدين مع الثورة وعدم قناعته بدنيوية أهدافها أعادت الامويين إلى قصورهم في ارض السواد.

في البحرين- القرن الخامس عشر الميلادي- الممتد من عمان إلى شرقي ما يعرف بالسعودية اليوم أغلبية شيعية خاضت معارك للحفاظ على إستقلالها الذاتي أو الناجز ولكن تلك الجماعات المنتصرة كانت تحول إنتصارها العسكري إلى هزائم سياسية بقبولها حكم أسر سنية مهاجرة لم تكن تلبث أن تسيطر على مقاليد الحكم حتى تبدأ بانزال الظلم برعاياها الشيعة كما حصل مع حكام البحرين الحاليين ومع ابناء مبارك الكبير في الكويت .

تاريخ العراق الحديث أشد وضوحا من اي تجربة شيعية أخرى، فقد قاد علمائهم ثورة العشرين ضد البريطانيين حتى أنهكوا الامبراطورية العظمى فلجأت تلك إلى منح الملك صلاحيات حقيقة أسست للحكم العربي المستقل في العراق فربح الشيعة الحرب ولم يطالبوا بالمكافأة فخسروا ما يقرب من قرن كامل من تاريخهم التالي حيث إضطروا بعد ذلك للقبول بصفة مواطني الدرجة الثانية تحت حكم يدين بالفضل لهم ولكنه أول من أنكرهم على صعيد الوظائف والتوزير والمنافع الدنيوية والتنموية والتعليمية .

في تاريخ الشيعة كثير من الرغبة بالحسم الثوري والعسكري ، والاكثر منها صفحات تمتليء بالخيبات السياسية ، لعله القدر أو النوستالجي الكربلائية التي تقاتل لأجل موت يشبه موت الحسين ، شهادة كاملة لأجل آخرين ولكن من رافضيهم ومعذبيهم ومضطهديهم، وفداء طوباويا خاليا من المقابل الدنيوي .

منذ تلك الحقبة وحتى إنتصار الثورة الاسلامية في إيران لم يحسم الشيعة معركة فاصلة لمصلحتهم ، بل كانوا في كل مرة يثورون ضد ظالم ينتهون بقبول التسوية وتحكيم غيرهم في رقابهم باسم قداستهم وزهدهم بالحكم تارة ، وباسم الامة الاسلامية مرات وباسم القومية والناصرية والبعثية والقضية الفلسطينية مرات ومرات.

بالشيعة قامت ثورة اليسار المسلحة في حرب السنتين، وبالشيعة إمتلك كمال جنبلاط قوة عسكرية، وبالشيعة تضخمت اعداد مقاتلي فتح وفتحت ابواب البيوت والقلوب للفدائيين في جنوب لبنان بعد خروجهم من الاردن ، فكانت النتيجة تسلط ميليشيات فتح والمنظمات على الجنوبيين حتى وصلوا إلى درجة الكفر بكل ما قاتلوا من أجله من قبل لولا أن عادوا إلى الجذر الكربلائي فكانت إنتفاضة النبطية في عاشوراء ضد المحتلين فكان منهم راغب حرب ويسار مروة وانور ياسين.

ليست صدفة أن أكثر الشيوعيين العرب إخلاصا لايديولوجية معركة ستالينغراد كانوا من الشيعة أكانو في لبنان أم في العراق.

كانت الثورة الايرانية كما وصفها أحدهم ، رصاصة قادمة من القرن الهجري الاول وأستقرت في قلب القرن العشرين، وتطلع الشيعة إليها لا بوصفها ثورة فارسية بل ثورة حسين جديد ضد يزيد جديد وحسينهم هذا – الخميني – حدد يزيد الجديد باسرائيل وأمريكا فانحاز إليه شيعة لبنان ، واما العرب فانحازوا ضد أنفسهم وشنوا على الحسين معركة كربلاء – قادسية صدام الاميركية – التي بذل من أجلها عرب الردة ملياراتهم السعودية الكويتية والاماراتية – وارواح رجالهم السودانية المصرية المغربية العراقية.

في لبنان التاريخي – بر الشام الغربي – إعتقد الشيعة أن الملك فيصل في الشام هو حسينهم المنتصر فوالوه لانه عربي في مواجهة القرار الفرنسي بانشاء إسرائيل مارونية – مطعمة بزعماء سنة على شاكلة الاقطاعي الانتهازي رياض الصلح ، فدفعوا ثمن موقفهم حرمانا تاريخيا لم يشفع لهم فيه رضاهم اللاحق بالوطن الممسوخ على قياس بطريركية .

ثم رأى الشيعة في السنديانة الحمراء وفي زعماء اليسار حسينهم ثم في ياسر عرفات حسينهم وخاب أملهم بالطرفين .

لم ينتمي الشيعة باعداد كبيرة إلى حزب العقيدة السورية القومية الاجتماعية في البداية ، صار انطون سعادة زعيم اغلبية كبيرة منهم في الخمسينيات بعد إغتياله فتحول إلى حسينهم السوري.

البناء النفسي للجماعة يختلف عن بناء نفسي لفرد قرر التضحية من أجل مبدأ أو وطن أو قضية في لحظة إعتناق أو حماس، يندر أن تتخذ جماعة قرار موحدا بالموت لأجل آخرين.

إنتحاريو القاعدة يموتون كرها لآخرين وحقدا عليهم فياتي الموت في سبيل موت المكروهين لا اكثر ولا أقل وفي مقابل مجزي هو نساء لا يمكن الحصول على متعتهن إلا بالموت، على الاقل هذا ما يعتقده إنتحاريو الكراهية والحقد.

عناصر حزب الله في لبنان حين ينتحرون يطلبون لقاء الحسين حبا بافكاره وبمن مات من أجلهم للتباهي . والاكثر غرابة أن طائفة بامها وابيها تريد الموت لاجل آخرين بدون وعي منها وبلا قرار متخذ.

ما يحدد مقدار التضحية المقبولة عند جماعة ما عن الآخرين ليس أمرا يأتي من دراسة منهجية لفكر سياسي معين، ولا هو وليد إعتناق مرحلي لفكر ومنطق عادلين، العطاء اللانهائي والموت في سبيل أن لا تنتصر ليس قرار حماسيا بل تصرف نفسي روحي يستند إلى ذلك الفهم اللاواعي لدور الشيعي كشيعي في الحياة ....شهادة لاجل الآخرين...

أضاع بري البوصلة في الاجتياح- 1982 - فرضي بما لم يرضاه شيعي قط بعد الحسين....الخروج من المعركة يوم كربلاء (أسطورة العلقمي مجتزأة وخيالية وتسحب تصرف فرد من حاشية خليفة على جماعة كانت بالعرف وفي الموقع في موضع الضد له)

كان الرد سريعا ومن حسين الايراني – الخميني – الذي أكد لتلك المجموعة التي زارته في بداية غزو لبنان – كربلائكم في قتال إسرائيل .

لم يقل لهم إنكم ستنتصرون ، ولم يقل لهم سنقاتل عنكم ، قال لهم سنعطيكم العدة واللوازم وأما الارواح التواقة إلى إستعادة مقتل الحسين فتلك منكم .

هل هي صدفة أن لا يقاتل الجنوب بعد هروب القيادات الفتحاوية ؟

لم يقاتلوا وبعضهم رش الارز على الجيش الغازي (حيث وقعت مجازر ميليشيات فتح ضد الجنوبيين مثل بلدة أنصار مثلا) لانهم لم يعرفوا الحسين هاربا ...الحسين يموت في أرض المعركة ولا يهرب ....

على عكسهم هرب أهالي بيروت السنة وزعمائهم من ياسر عرفات وطالبوه بالرحيل حين حاصرتهم الدبابات الاسرائيلية وكان صائب سلام ولا يزال يمثل رمز طرد ياسر عرفات من بيروت لان إسرائيل لم تدخلها إلا بعد أن رحل ومقاتليه بناء لطلب علني من تجمع سياسي ضم زعماء السنة البيارتة .

هل هي صدفة أن يقاتل الجنوب كما لم يقاتل العرب حين وجد لنفسه حسينا في المقاومة؟

يقول اليسار اللبناني أن السوريين وأمل منعوه من إستكمال المقاومة ، لقد منع حزب الله معهم وهرب أتباعه إلى الجبال لاجل أن يقاتلوا إسرائيل فرأى الناس فيهم حسينا فاعطوهم ما لا يعطيه عاقل .......ارواحهم والقتال فأنتصروا على أمل وعلى السوريين وعادوا إلى القرى الجنوبية منتصرين وأحرار في مقاتلة إسرائيل فهزموها .

هل هي صدفة ان يقاتل الشيعة ويقتلوا في الحرب الاهلية وحين توقفها بقرار اميركي – سوري – سعودي يقبل المقتولين واهاليهم بان تسند الصلاحيات إلى غيرهم والمنافع إلى غير مناطقهم ؟

هل هي صدفة أن يقبل الجنوبيون تدمير قراهم ومدنهم برحابة صدر لأجل عيني سمير القنطار ؟

وهل هي صدفة أن يكون لآل الحكيم اكبر جماهيرية في العراق عند سقوط صدام حسين ثم ينتهي وريثهم عمار لاجئا في السعودية ينكره حتى قائد قواته العسكرية ؟

وهل صدفة أن يقتل مقتدى الصدر خائنا هو عبد المجيد الخوئي فيتحول القاتل إلى أهم قائد شعبي شيعي في العراق ؟

هل هي صدفة أن يقبل الشيعة اللبنانيين برحابة صدر طردهم ومطاردتهم من الخليج ومن مصر إقتصاديا ومن كل الدنيا أمنيا ومخابراتيا لاجل فلسطين وحماس والجهاد ؟

ما لنا ولفلسطين لقال بعضهم خاصة بعد تجربة ابو عمار الفاشلة والمأساوية مع الجنوبيين.

كان في مصلحة الشيعة الدنيوية أن يوقفوا القتال وهم منتصرين في العام 2000، يومها كان يمكن للعالم كله أن يدفع مليارات وترليونات مقابل قرار واضح من حزب الله بترك السلاح، وكان يمكن للاميركيين وللسوريين ان يتفقا على تولية الشيعة كل لبنان كما تولاه الحريري مقابل وعد منه بانهاء السلاح وروح المقاومة ودورها .

كان يمكن لنصرالله ان يصبح زعيما أكبر لكل الطوائف ،وللدولة والجمهورية....

فقط إن ترك فلسطين وشأنها ولو ترك السلاح ومخازنه ، وكان يمكن للشيعة كجماعة طائفية في لبنان أن ينقلبوا على نصرالله وعلى حزبه مرتين....... في الالفين وفي الالفين وستة لانه لم يفعل، لولا تلك النوستالجي التي تسكنهم بيسارهم ويمينهم بملحدهم المعلن وبمؤمنيهم...........إنهم جماعة لا تريد الحياة إلا من أجل الآخرين ...إنهم المسيحيون الحقيقيون ...يحبون أعدائهم ويباركون لاعنيهم ، ويشحذون سكاكين ذابحيهم ....

ما كان للسنيورة أن يستمر في قهرهم سنين ثم ليقبلوا بتوليته من جديد لولا تلك الروح الكربلائية التي لا ترى في الانتصار منافع ومتاعا ودنيا ، وما كانوا ليقبلوا بسعد الحريري رئيسا لحكومة هم أولى بها وهم من مكنها من بناء ما بنته بتحريرهم لبنان من نفوذ الاطلسي أولا ومن إسرائيل ثانيا ...

لو قتل الشرتوني بشيرا ولم يجتاح ذاك الانتحاري مركز المارينز في المطار لبقي الشرتوني يتيما شعبيا.

ولو قتلت لولا عبود ولم ينتفض الجنوبيون في جبشيت وفي معركة وفي الشريط في ايار لماتت لولا ليحيا كريم مروة في قصر قريطم

والياس عطا الله في بكركي

إسرائيل لم تهددها في وجودها تضحيات حزبية كبيرة ومعطاءة ، هي تموت رعبا من جماعة بامها وابيها تلعب دور اسباطة وكربلاء في الوقت عينه ، قتال من يتوق للحياة الباذخة بعد الانتصار ، وصمود حتى الموت لاجل اللحاق بالحسين في السماء .... المشكلة الاكبر أن هذا الارث الشيعي بدأ يبث ذبذباته المعدية إلى ملايين العرب بدءا من فلسطين

ZOG of Canada and the Jewish National Fund....

By YVES ENGLER

Ten days ago, Greg Selinger, the New Democratic Party (NDP) Premier of the Province of Manitoba, and two of his ministers visited Israel. Among other things, the official delegation strengthened the longtime "progressive" government's ties to the Jewish National Fund (JNF). The trip was a sad spectacle that should embarrass every Canadian who opposes racism. Indeed, J.S. Woodsworth, the Winnipeg-based founder of Canada's social democratic party, must be turning in his grave.
The province and JNF signed an accord to jointly develop two bird conservation sites while Manitoba water stewardship Minister Christine Melnick spoke at the opening ceremony for a park built in Jaffa by the JNF, Tel Aviv Foundation and Manitoba-Israel Shared Values Roundtable. During the trip Mel Lazerek, a regional JNF president, was also appointed Manitoba's special representative to Israel for Economic and Community Relations.
Manitoba's ties to this openly racist institution are shocking, but also part of a decades-old pro-Israel policy of the NDP that must be challenged by real progressives.
Shutting out Palestinian citizens of Israel, JNF lands can only be leased by Jews. A 1998 United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights found that the JNF systematically discriminated against Palestinians in Israel. According to the UN report, JNF lands are "chartered to benefit Jews exclusively," which has led to an "institutionalized form of discrimination." In 2005, Israel's high court came to similar conclusions. It found that the JNF, which owns 13 percent of the country's land and has significant influence over most of the rest, systematically excluded Palestinian citizens from leasing its property.
JNF Canada officials are relatively open about the racist character of the organization. In May 2002, Mark Mendelson, JNF Canada's executive-director for Eastern Canada, explained that "We are trustees between world Jewry and the land of Israel." This sentiment was echoed by JNF Canada's head Frank A. Wilson in July 2009. Wilson stated that the "JNF are the caretakers of the Land of Israel on behalf of its owners, who are the Jewish people everywhere around the world."
Established in 1910, JNF Canada is one of the most important Israel-focused charities registered in Canada. It raises about $10 million annually in tax-deductible donations. Despite projecting itself as "an environmentally friendly organization concerned with ecology and sustainable development," it is a linchpin of Zionist colonialism.
The Canadian branch of the JNF has been directly complicit in Palestinian dispossession. At the end of the 1920s, a JNF representative came to Canada to raise $1 million for the lands of Wadi al-Hawarith (or Hefer Plain). A 30,000 dunam (roughly 7,500 acres) stretch of coastal territory located about half way between Haifa and Tel Aviv, the land was home to a Bedouin community of 1,000 to 1,200 persons. Without consulting the Palestinians living on the land, in 1928 the JNF acquired legal title to Wadi al-Hawarith from an absentee landlord in France.
For four years the tenants of Wadi al-Hawarith resisted British attempts to evict them. In All That Remains historian Walid Khalidi explains that "The insistence of the people of Wadi al-Hawarith to remain on their land came from their conviction that the land belonged to them by virtue of their having lived on it for 350 years. For them, ownership of the land was an abstraction that at most signified the landlords' right to a share of the crop."
The conflict at Wadi al-Hawarith became a lightning rod for the growing Palestinian nationalist movement. In 1933 a general strike was organized in Nablus to support the tenants of Wadi al-Hawarith. Palestinians, especially those without title to their lands, resented the European influx into their homeland.
After the June 1967 War, JNF Canada raised $15 million to build Canada Park on illegally occupied land. Three peaceful villages (Beit Nuba, Imwas and Yalu) were demolished to make way for the park.
Despite repeated attempts, the 5,000 expelled Palestinians were not allowed to return home. A 1986 UN Special Committee reported to the Secretary-General that it considers it "a matter of deep concern that these villagers have persistently been denied the right to return to their land on which Canada Park has been built by the JNF Canada and where the Israeli authorities are reportedly planning to plant a forest instead of allowing the reconstruction of the destroyed villages."
The JNF Canada, which launched a $7 million campaign to refurbish the park in 2007, replaced most traces of Palestinian history with signs devoted to Canadian donors such as the Metropolitan Toronto Police Department, the City of Ottawa and former Ontario premier Bill Davis. Inaugurated by former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in 1975, the Diefenbaker Parkway bisects the park.
In the early 1980s JNF Canada helped finance an Israeli government campaign to "Judaize" the Galilee, the largely Arab northern region of Israel. "The government is building Jewish settlements on our land, surrounding us and turning our villages into ghettos," Khateeb Raja, mayor of Deir Hanna, a Palestinian-Israeli town in the Galilee, told The Globe and Mail in 1981. Ishi Mimon told the paper that he planned to move his family to the newly settled "Galil Canada" area because "the Galilee should have a Jewish majority."
JNF Canada's representative in Israel, Akiva Einis, described the political objective of Galil Canada stating that "The government decided to stop the wholesale plunder (by Israeli Arabs) of state lands [conquered in the 1947/48 war]. ... The settlements are all on mountain tops and look out over large areas of land. If an Arab squatter takes a plow onto land that is not his, the settlers lodge a complaint with the police."
JNF Canada spent tens of millions of dollars ($35 million was the total fundraising target) on 14 Jewish settlements in Galil Canada. In the contested valley of Lotem a stone wall and monument was erected, reported the Globe, with "hundreds of small plaques etched with names and home towns of Canadians who have contributed money to the Galilee settlements." Most of the donors to Galil Canada were Jewish, "but a Pentecostal congregation in Vancouver, the Glad Tidings Temple, has given $1-million."
Tawfiz Daggash, Deir Hanna's deputy mayor, denounced Canadian financial support for the settlements. "I want to say to the people of Canada that every dollar they contribute [to JNF] is helping the Israeli government in its attempt to destroy the Arab people here."
The JNF has long been supported by key figures in the Canadian political elite. Former Prime Ministers John Diefenbaker, Lester Pearson and Brian Mulroney have all spoken at JNF events and leading politicians continue to endorse the organization. In addition to this political support, the JNF is a registered charity, which means that up to a third of its budget effectively comes from public coffers. Yet Canada is supposed to outlaw institutional racism.
In 2007, Lebanese-Canadian Ronald Saba filed a detailed complaint concerning the JNF's charitable status with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The claim was leveled at the "Government of Canada for violating the Canadian Human Rights Act and Canada Revenue Agency Policy Statement CPS-021 by subsidizing racial discrimination through granting and maintaining charitable status for the Jewish National Fund."
Considering the group's political connections, it's not surprising that Canadian officials refused to address Saba's complaint or follow-up ones (all the documents can be found at Montreal Planet Magazine). With the government's failure to address Saba's legitimate complaint, it is now time to launch a political campaign to push the Canada Revenue Agency to revoke the JNF's charitable status.
Victory won't be easy but the educational work involved in such an endeavor will be invaluable. With quasi-state status in Israel, the JNF is at the heart of Israeli apartheid and drawing attention to this institution is a way to discuss the racism intrinsic to Zionism.
Real progressives in Canada have never shied away from difficult, but important tasks such as fighting racism wherever it raises its ugly head....

Most Amazing Airplane In History

FROM AN SR-71 PILOT.......Very interesting read.....

http://thebrigade.com/2010/11/04/this-is-the-plane-i-had-a-post-of-sr-71-blackbird-in-high-res-19-hq-photos/

SR-71 Blackbird



In April 1986, following an attack on American soldiers in a Berlin disco, President Reagan ordered the bombing of Muammar Qaddafi's terrorist camps in Libya .


My duty was to fly over Libya , and take photographs recording the damage our F-111's had inflicted.

Qaddafi had established a 'line of death,' a territorial marking across the Gulf of Sidra , swearing to shoot down any intruder, that crossed the boundary.

On the morning of April 15, I rocketed past the line at 2,125 mph.


I was piloting the SR-71 spy plane, the world's
fastest jet, accompanied by a Marine Major (Walt),
the aircraft's reconnaissance systems officer (RSO).
We had crossed into Libya , and were approaching
our final turn over the bleak desert landscape, when
Walt informed me, that he was receiving missile
launch signals.

I quickly increased our speed, calculating the time
it would take for the weapons, most likely SA-2 and SA-4
surface-to-air missiles, capable of Mach 5 - to reach
our altitude.
I estimated, that we could beat the rocket-powered
missiles to the turn, and stayed our course, betting
our lives on the plane's performance.


After several agonizingly long seconds, we made
the turn and blasted toward the Mediterranean .
'You might want to pull it back,' Walt suggested.
It was then that I noticed I still had the throttles
full forward.

The plane was flying a mile every 1.6 seconds, well
above our Mach 3.2 limit.

It was the fastest we would ever fly.

I pulled the throttles to idle, just south of Sicily ,
but we still overran the refueling tanker, awaiting us
over Gibraltar ...


Scores of significant aircraft have been produced,
in the 100 years of flight, following the achievements
of the Wright brothers, which we celebrate in
December.

Aircraft such as the Boeing 707, the F-86 Sabre Jet,
and the P-51 Mustang, are among the important machines,
that have flown our skies.

But the SR-71, also known as the Blackbird, stands alone
as a significant contributor to Cold War victory, and as the
fastest plane ever, and only 93 Air Force pilots, ever steered
the 'sled,' as we called our aircraft.



The SR-71, was the brainchild of Kelly Johnson,
the famed Lockheed designer, who created the
P-38, the F-104 Starfighter, and the U-2.

After the Soviets shot down Gary Powers U-2 in 1960,
Johnson began to develop an aircraft, that would
fly three miles higher, and five times faster, than
the spy plane, and still be capable of photographing
your license plate.

However, flying at 2,000 mph would create intense heat
on the aircraft's skin.
Lockheed engineers used a titanium alloy, to construct
more than 90 percent of the SR-71, creating special tools,
and manufacturing procedures to hand-build each of the
40 planes.
Special heat-resistant fuel, oil, and hydraulic
fluids, that would function at 85,000 feet, and
higher, also had to be developed.


In 1962, the first Blackbird successfully flew, and
in 1966, the same year I graduated from high school,
the Air Force began flying operational SR-71 missions.
I came to the program in 1983, with a sterling record
and a recommendation from my commander,
completing the weeklong interview, and meeting
Walt, my partner for the next four years.

He would ride four feet behind me, working all the
cameras, radios, and electronic jamming equipment.

I joked, that if we were ever captured, he was the spy,
and I was just the driver.

He told me to keep the pointy end forward.

We trained for a year, flying out of Beale AFB in
California , Kadena Airbase in Okinawa , and RAF
Mildenhall in England .

On a typical training mission, we would take off near
Sacramento , refuel over Nevada , accelerate into Montana ,
obtain a high Mach speed over Colorado , turn right over
New Mexico, speed across the Los Angeles Basin, run up
the West Coast, turn right at Seattle , then return to Beale.

Total flight time:- Two Hours and Forty Minutes.

One day, high above Arizona , we were monitoring
the radio traffic, of all the mortal airplanes below us.
First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers
to check his ground speed. 'Ninety knots,' ATC replied.
A Bonanza soon made the same request.
'One-twenty on the ground,' was the reply.

To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio, with a
ground speed check.

I knew exactly what he was doing.

Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit,
but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley,
know what real speed was, 'Dusty 52, we show you at 620
on the ground,' ATC responded.

The situation was too ripe.

I heard the click of Walt's mike button in the rear seat.
In his most innocent voice, Walt startled the controller
by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet,
clearly above controlled airspace.
In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied,
'Aspen 20, I show you at 1,982 knots on the ground.'
We did not hear another transmission on that
frequency, all the way to the coast.


The Blackbird always showed us something new,
each aircraft possessing its own unique personality.
In time, we realized we were flying a national treasure.

When we taxied out of our revetments for take-off,
people took notice.

Traffic congregated near the airfield fences, because
everyone wanted to see, and hear the mighty SR-71.

You could not be a part of this program, and not come
to love the airplane.

Slowly, she revealed her secrets to us, as we earned
her trust.

One moonless night, while flying a routine training
mission over the Pacific, I wondered what the sky
would look like from 84,000 feet, if the cockpit lighting
were dark.

While heading home on a straight course, I slowly turned
down all of the lighting, reducing the glare and revealing
the night sky.

Within seconds, I turned the lights back up, fearful that the
jet would know, and somehow punish me.

But my desire to see the sky, overruled my caution,
I dimmed the lighting again.

To my amazement, I saw a bright light outside
my window.

As my eyes adjusted to the view, I realized that the
brilliance was the broad expanse of the Milky Way,
now a gleaming stripe across the sky.

Where dark spaces in the sky, had usually existed,
there were now dense clusters, of sparkling stars.

Shooting Stars, flashed across the canvas every
few seconds.

It was like a fireworks display with no sound.

I knew I had to get my eyes back on the instruments,
and reluctantly, I brought my attention back inside.

To my surprise, with the cockpit lighting still off,
I could see every gauge, lit by starlight.

In the plane's mirrors, I could see the eerie shine of
my gold spacesuit, incandescently illuminated, in a
celestial glow.

I stole one last glance out the window.
Despite our speed, we seemed still before the
heavens, humbled in the radiance of a much greater
power.

For those few moments, I felt a part of something far
more significant, than anything we were doing in the plane.

The sharp sound of Walt's voice on the radio, brought me
back to the tasks at hand, as I prepared for our descent.


San Diego Aerospace Museum
The SR-71 was an expensive aircraft to operate.
The most significant cost was tanker support, and
in 1990, confronted with budget cutbacks, the Air
Force retired the SR-71.

The SR-71 served six presidents, protecting America
for a quarter of a century.

Un-be-known to most of the country, the plane flew
over North Vietnam, Red China, North Korea, the
Middle East, South Africa, Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, Libya,
and the Falkland Islands .

On a weekly basis, the SR-71, kept watch over every
Soviet Nuclear Submarine, and Mobile Missile Site,
and all of their troop movements.

It was a key factor in winning the Cold War.

I am proud to say, I flew about 500 hours in this
aircraft.

I knew her well.

She gave way to no plane, proudly dragging her
Sonic Boom through enemy backyards, with great impunity.

She defeated every missile, outran every MiG, and always
brought us home.

In the first 100 years of manned flight, no aircraft was more
remarkable.

The Blackbird had outrun nearly 4,000 missiles,
not once taking a scratch from enemy fire.

On her final flight, the Blackbird, destined for
the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum ,
sped from Los Angeles to Washington
in 64 Minutes, averaging 2,145 mph, and setting four speed records.

9/11: The Media Ignores Evidence of WTC Explosives since 2001....

Rob Lonaker

Persuasive evidence exists (see Christopher Ketcham’s “High-Fivers and Art Student Spies”) that Israeli intelligence was aware of the 9/11 plot well in advance. Not only were Israeli agents found to be tracking alleged Muslim plotters, there was “intense political pressure apparently … brought to bear” to release the five Israeli spies caught filming the event, without any acknowledgment of foreknowledge on their part. Congress never investigated the incident. Nor was there an investigation of the Israeli art students, trained in military intelligence, who allegedly “attempted to form friendships with [New York] federal employees, photograph their offices, tap their phone lines and infiltrate their databases” in 2001, as reported by Nathan Guttman of Ha`aretz.

None of these issues was mentioned in the official 9/11 Commission report.

There was also a great deal of pressure on the media not to discuss these events:

A former ABC News employee high up in the network newsroom told [Ketcham] that when ABC News ran its June 2002 exposé on the celebratory New Jersey Israelis, "Enormous pressure was brought to bear by pro-Israeli organizations"—and this pressure began months before the piece was even close to airing.

Fox News reports by Carl Cameron were also fiercely opposed by Jewish activists.

The attack against Cameron and Fox News was spearheaded by a pro-Israel lobby group called the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), which operated in tandem with the two most highly visible powerhouse Israel lobbyists, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (itself currently embroiled in a spy scandal connected to the Defense Department and Israeli Embassy). "CAMERA peppered the *** out of us." … According to a source at Fox News Channel, the president of the ADL, Abraham Foxman, telephoned executives at Fox News' parent, News Corp., to demand a sit-down in the wake of the Cameron reportage. The source said that Foxman told the News Corp. executives, "Look, you guys have generally been pretty fair to Israel. What are you doing putting this stuff out there? You're killing us." The Fox News source continued, "As good old boys will do over coffee in Manhattan, it was like, well, what can we do about this? Finally, Fox News said, 'Stop the e-mailing. Stop slamming us. Stop being in our face, and we'll stop being in your face—by way of taking our story down off the web. We will not retract it; we will not disavow it; we stand by it. But we will at least take it off the web.'" Following this meeting, within four days of the posting of Cameron's series on Fox News.com, the transcripts disappeared, replaced by the message, "This story no longer exists."[Ketcham]

But what if Israeli involvement extended beyond espionage and advance warning, to ensuring the event would have maximum impact, or even to planning the operation? It is not unreasonable to inquire whether Israel and its operatives in the US may have at least taken steps to ensure that the attack would result in enough destruction and loss of life to create the political impetus for a war against Israel’s enemies, secure in the knowledge that public discussion of these issues could be suppressed.

How scornfully must 9/11's masterminds laugh at us for believing that merely asking questions in an effort to solve the murders of nearly 3,000 people should be off-limits because it may hurt some family members' feelings? The willingness of Americans to feel guilty for wanting answers to the largest mass murder on American soil reminds one of the "White guilt," imposed through relentless cultural assault by Jewish intellectual movements, that prompts White Europeans and Americans to greet gleefully their displacement through mass immigration and multiculturalism.

Why might the media disallow any public questioning of the many unanswered aspects of 9/11?

Could it be because Israeli special operations units may have carried out the attack?

Bernanke: Feds Probing Improper Foreclosures

Fed Chair Is Latest to Vow Crackdown on Bank Malfeasance, Echoing White House and Coalition of State Attorneys General

Federal banking regulators are examining whether mortgage companies cut corners on their own procedures when they moved to foreclose on people's homes, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday.

Preliminary results of the in-depth review into the practices of the nation's largest mortgage companies are expected to be released next month, Bernanke said in remarks prepared for delivery to a housing-finance conference in Arlington, Va.

"We are looking intensively at the firms' policies, procedures and internal controls related to foreclosures and seeking to determine whether systematic weaknesses are leading to improper foreclosures," Bernanke said. "We take violation of proper procedures seriously," he added.

Cut, Cut, Cut the Budget… Just Don’t Touch Israel

If the GOP’s electoral wins next week are enough to take over Congress, one thing they’ve pledged to do is “stop out-of-control spending,” as their “Pledge to America” policy blueprint says. But don’t even think about touching the over $3 billion in annual aid the United States gives to Israel.

Politico‘s Laura Rozen reports, via the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that House Republican whip Eric Cantor “would propose separating U.S. aid to Israel from the foreign operations budget, which the GOP may vote to defund”:

Cantor, of Virginia, said he wants to protect funding for Israel should that situation arise.
“Part of the dilemma is that Israel has been put in the overall foreign aid looping,” he said when asked about the increasing tendency of Republicans in recent years to vote against foreign operations appropriations. “I’m hoping we can see some kind of separation in terms of tax dollars going to Israel.”

Cantor’s statement was a sign that the Republican leadership was ready to defer to the party’s right wing on this matter. Some on the GOP right have suggested including Israel aid in the defense budget, and a number of Tea Party-backed candidates have said they would vote against what is known in Congress as “foreign ops.”

The Republican Party (as well as some Democrats) wants to decrease Social Security benefits, among other austerity measures, in their effort to reduce government spending. But government funding of an illegal and racist occupation? Keep the cash flowing. {source - Aletho News}

Israel is the most immediate threat to the future of the planet

Kourosh Ziabari: In your article "The Israel Lobby and the Left: Uneasy Questions", you elaborately explore the dominance of Israeli lobby over the U.S. administration and cite good examples of the influence of well-off Zionists on the multinational companies and mainstream media in America. My question is that, what are the root causes of this enormous power and immense wealth which the Zionists have possessed?

How did the Jews take over the vast resources of power and money that has made them capable of framing, modifying and overturning the political equations in the United States?

Jeffrey Blankfort: That question requires a long and complicated answer. In short, an important, well organized segment of the American Jewish community emerged after World War II that has been dedicated to the establishment and prospering of a Jewish state in historic Palestine in which the lives and well being of the indigenous Palestinian Arabs were of no consequence.

That this segment did not and has never represented the majority of American Jews has been more than been made up for by its concerted activity on Israel's behalf in every critical sector of U.S. society and at every level of the nation's political life. Its success would not have been possible, however, were it not for the fact that within its ranks have been a sizeable number of wealthy Jewish businessmen who have been quite willing to expend the funds necessary to either purchase the support of the U.S. Congress as well as virtually all of the state legislatures or intimidate Israel's would-be critics into silence.

Well before the birth of the first Zionists, Jewish bankers and capitalists had established themselves in Europe and the United States so it was not surprising that a number of them, beginning with Lord Rothschild in the early part of the century, became supporters of the Zionist project. Now, far and away, they make up the largest segment of individual donors to both political parties.

The media, as could be expected, was one of its primary targets, and that avowedly pro-Israel interests, although not exclusively Jewish, such as Rupert Murdoch, now thoroughly dominate it at every level is, unfortunately proved on a daily basis.

While there should be no question that this Israel support network, euphemistically described as a "lobby," has been a major force in shaping U.S. Middle East policies overall, and the determinant factor in dealing with the Israel-Palestine conflict, its power has its limits. While it was able, through its agents in the White House and the Pentagon, to push the U.S. into a war on Iraq, it has yet to get Washington to bomb Iran or, apparently, to sanction an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities. It is clear that there are important elements within the Pentagon as well as the intelligence agencies which know that an attack by either the U.S. or Israel on Iran would more likely than not lead to a global catastrophe. {more - Uprooted Palestinians}

Israel’s US propaganda machine at work

Three themes run through most Zionist propaganda:

1. Brainwash the public into believing that Arabs are devils and all Muslims are extremist bombers.

Professor Jack Shaheen’s in-depth studies of American films thoroughly establish how Arabs have been consistently vilified in that medium for a century.

2. Convince the public to believe it's a hate crime to criticize Israel, while propagating guilt for the holocaust.

Criticism of Israel in America is a guaranteed route to castigation as anti-Semitic at best and unemployment, like Helen Thomas’s, at worst.

3. Instill fear in Jews and their supporters that others are out to destroy Israel and Jews. “Israel is surrounded by enemies,” writes Steven Rosen. If true, why? {more - Paul Balles}

CIA SUPPORT FOR THE EXTREMIST MUSLIMS IN AFGHANISTAN AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE....

In 1978, the government in Afghanistan was peaceful, moderate, progressive and non-communist.

The US government wanted control of Afghanistan.

The CIA decided to finance some extremist Muslims and put them into power in Afghanistan.

The CIA sets up and finances the extremist Muslim groups. Above, Ronald Reagan meets Afghan Mujaheddin Commanders at the White House in 1983 (Reagan Archives)

According to Andrew Gavin Marshall, at Global Research, 5 September 2010, (The “Arc of Crisis”):

Brzezinski said in a 1998 interview:

"It was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the .... regime in Kabul.

"And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention."

Brzezinski said he "Knowingly increased the probability that (the Soviets) would invade."

The US government plans to balkanise and control the oil rich parts of the world.

Peter Dale Scott pointed out, in The Road to 9/11, that "billions of CIA and Saudi dollars would ultimately be spent in programs that would help enhance ... Wahhabi jihadism...."

In 1979, Hafizullah Amine, who was reportedly a CIA asset, carried out a coup in Afghanistan. .....

Amine "halted the reforms, and murdered, jailed, or exiled thousands of (moderates) as he moved toward establishing a fundamentalist Islamic state." (Michael Parenti, Afghanistan, Another Untold Story. Global Research: December 4, 2008: globalresearch.9)

The Soviets intervened in order to replace Amine. The Soviet invasion took place in 1980.

Reportedly, the US plans to break up Saudi Arabia, and several other oil-rich countries.

The USA took the side of the Muslim extremist Afghan Mujaheddin.

In 1981, CIA Director Casey worked with Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal and the Pakistani ISI "to create a foreign legion of jihadi Muslims."

This idea had "originated in the elite Safari Club," a coalition of intelligence agencies, which included the CIA and French intelligence.

More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan, in camps overseen by the CIA and MI6.

Britain's SAS training future Al-CIAda and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts. ...

Future Al-CIAda leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia....

This was called Operation Cyclone.

It continued after the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989.

Drugs money was used to finance the Afghan Mujaheddin.

When Britain was in India, Britain's East India Company turned opium into India's main export.

According to Alfred W. McCoy, in The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, "CIA activities in Burma helped transform the Shan states ... into the largest opium-growing region in the world."

In the 1960s and 1970s, the CIA promoted the drugs trade in Laos and Vietnam.

In the 1980s that the CIA turned Central Asia into a major supplier of heroin for the world market.

The CIA helped Afghanistan's heroin to reach Europe and America. (Alfred W. McCoy, The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade.)

CIA money went to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Afghanistan’s leading mujaheddin drug lord.

Between 1979 and1980, drug-related deaths in New York City rose 77%.

The bin Ladens are old friends of the Bush family. Above, Wafah bin Laden.

In the 1980s, the CIA financed Mujaheddin propaganda in textbooks for Afghan schools.

(Carol Off, Back to school in Afghanistan. CBC: May 6, 2002: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/afghanistan/schools.html)

In the early 1990s the Taliban emerged, and it was supported by the CIA.

"Between 1994 and 1996, the USA supported the Taliban politically through its allies Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, essentially because Washington viewed the Taliban as anti-Iranian, anti-Shia, and pro-Western." (Robert Dreyfuss, Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam.)

Selig Harrison, a scholar with links to the CIA, said that the CIA worked with Pakistan to create the Taliban....

(Reportedly the CIA hopes to use the Afghan Taliban to balkanise most neighboring countries....China, India, IRAN, etc.,....from Quetta, to Tibet to Darfur and beyond.....)

Case in point is the PROMISE spyware sold to Khalid bin Mahfouz the eldest son of a Saudi entrepreneur who founded the National Commercial Bank in Saudi Arabia indicted in financing the 9/11 attack and international terrorism and former Chief executive of BCCI and get this Osama Bin Ladins brother in law by marriage to Mahfouz sister.

http://www.users.on.net/~osbornep/

As well as setting up oil venture with the Taliban regime.

In 1996, Delta Oil Company formed a joint-venture with Nimir Petroleum Company, a company controlled by Osama Bin Laden’s brother in law, financial backer, and sponsor of international terrorism Defendant Khalid Bin Salim Bin Mahfouz.
This joint venture was known as Delta Nimir Khazar Limited and its purpose was to negotiate with the Taliban regime.
In December 1996, the Taliban announced that the Taliban government had agreed to allow a proposed pipeline through Afghanistan.

Delta Oil Company p.331

With Khalid bin Mahfouz, Nimir Petroleum engaged in a relationship with the Taliban regime in or about 1994. Nimir agreed to partner with the Saudi Delta Oil Company, by forming a joint-venture known as Delta Nimir Khazar Limited. Soon after, due to Nimir and Khalid bin Mahfouz’ influence, an agreement was reached between a consortium of oil companies and the Taliban. Nimir’s efforts to lobby for the consortium to reach an agreement with the Taliban regime included a meeting in November 1997 with a Taliban delegation to Texas.

SECULARISM: Brain Child Of Freemasons – PART III

Islam and Christianity

By Naveed Tajammal

Religion is religion, when it is believed in as ‘Free from any defect’. A religion ceases to be a religion when its ultimate principles are believed ‘Not to be absolute and unchangeable’. The Fundamentals of the Faith cannot be subject to the ‘Law of Evolution’, like social institutions.

Islam is a ‘Deen,’ and not a religion. Deen is a complete code of life that governs both State and the individual at every level. Religion is a derivative of the Deen which is often subject to debates and conflicts. Deen is derived from two sources the Holy Quran and Sunnah (tradiotions) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The divine part of the “SHARIA” (The Islamic Law or Jurisprudence), being a divine act, is in a state of “Absolute Perfection”; Hence it is exempt from any evolution or progress and it cannot be legislated. The concept of Ijtihad or Ijma (discussions by the scholars on certain unsettled issues) is there but it cannot debate the settled issues mentioned in the Quran or in the traditions of the Holy Prophet. Many Abrahamic traditions also form part of the Quran, the most glaring and visible tradition is that of Hajj and sacrificial animals.

As to the term, SECULARISM, it was coined by an Englishman, named George Jacob Holyoake (1817-1906). He was convicted on account of Blasphemy, in a public lecture, and was sentenced to undergo a six months imprisonment and upon his release he invented the term “Secularism” – as descriptive of his “Opinions”. And so, he also established the “Reasoner” in support of his NEW THEORY, in the various books he wrote. The author of the term “Secularism” has the dubious honor for being convicted for a second time also, for publishing an illegal newspaper. He was the author of a number of books, including two volumes of his own reminiscences, “Bygones worth Remembering” (1905). He died at Brighton, England on the 22^nd of January 1906.

The concept of ‘Secularism’ is to make the people believe that there is no life after death, hence the whole life ends here. The concept of life after death is fundamental to all divine religions be it Judaism, Christianity or Islam. When you make people believe that there is no life after death then you make them believe that there is no God hence the society drifts into atheism, a godless society living in complete spiritual vacuum. No Muslim no matter how weak his faith maybe will ever accept that there is ‘No God.’ Hence the fight would continue as it is today.

The many social ills like the destruction of family, marriage, gay life etc. have sprung up because of this vacuum. If we go back about 100 years or so one had never heard of single parents or common law living. If any woman gave birth to an illegitimate child was not accepted in the society but today being a single mom has become sort of a symbol of modernity and pride. When one woman has children from different men, children not knowing who their fathers are either abandoned who live in foster homes or live off the streets, picking up anti social habits.

Worshiping the Lucifer is a hidden act of all the Freemasons and Zionists. Alex Jones has done a good job in recording such places and exposed them to the maximum.

It’s of utmost importance to the Freemasons and the Zionists to destroy this concept of life after death by any and every means. The present day so called wars on terrorism is a big link of that chain where only the Muslims are being targeted based on false evidence.

All works of the author, of this term, have been in support of his argument which justifies the separation of state politics or administration from religious or church matters. It is pertinent to note here, that, secular education is a system of education / imparting knowledge in which religious teaching is excluded in the school teachings.

Pakistan is a country composed of people having one faith, which is ISLAM. Christians, Hindu and Parsees (Zoroastrians), remain a fraction of our total population. We are an Islamic State and as a State it is unfortunate, that we have a tendency to adhere, and still cling with, the laws and traditions of our previous rulers. As to the mindset and people, who still think as per the western education and see things as per their perceptions, and as they gradually ease out, the national character of our nation will re-emerge, in which no doubt exists, as the chain reaction is already in motion. The point to be borne in mind here is; what is good for Christianity Need not be good for us as Moslem’s. Christianity never had the chance to flourish as did Islam.

Islam, immediately after it’s coming in force and establishing itself as a world power in the known corners of the then known world and since the last almost 1400 years, has flourished without a break as a power and a code of life. Christianity, on the other hand, originated within a community that was under the domination of a powerful state and that had no hopes for political independence. Islam on the other hand flourished among a people, free from external domination, which had the capacity and established an independent state. And a state means a public authority which has the power to enforce its judicial rules over the individuals whose safety it undertakes. At the time of rise of Christianity, the Roman State and its laws were in force. Christianity found a political organization already in existence, and thus it took the matters of organizing a government and maintaining laws as matters outside the concern of religion. It accepted the separation of state and religion, as a principle, and formulated it in the slogan, “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and unto god that, which is gods”.

Thus, Christianity seems, at first sight, like a religion that has left judicial powers entirely to the government and has concerned itself exclusively with pronouncements on matters of righteousness and ethical teachings and rituals of life, death, marriage etc.

The real nature of things, however, was not that way at all. Christianity by accepting the State outside of Religion was relegating the state to a non-sacred realm. It did not appropriate the state to itself, because it looked down on it. This attitude, originally, was due to the fact that the Romans were foreign to the early Christians; both from the point of view of nationality and religion. And this did not disappear, even when the conditions changed. Although Christianity took on political government outside of the realm of religion, it nevertheless brought to the world a new government under the name of heavenly kingdom.

Thus, two kinds of governments came into existence in Christendom, one as the non-sacred, temporal government, and the other as the sacred spiritual government.

Now, ‘IF’ Christianity had not found an already existing order of state at the time of its birth, it would have attempted undoubtedly to create one. And then, it would have regarded it as a sacred being of its own creation. As this government would have been within the religion, and as such a sacred institution, no need would have been felt to establish a spiritual government. If this had happened, there would be no duality of temporal and spiritual governments, BUT, something similar to the case existing in ISLAM.

Europeans who have compared Christianity and Islam usually believe that Islam’s acceptance of judicial matters as part of religion, and of the state organization, as part of religious organization, is a DEFECT, in Islam. More so, unfortunately, our own Muslims and Pakistanis, born and bred in western circles, who have received their ideas from the same sources of knowledge, as the Christians do, also think like them.

However, when the problem is investigated more carefully, it appears that this is NOT a defect but, on a contrary, ‘A MERIT’. In Islam religious provisions are divided into three categories; those relating to piety, to morality and to judicial affairs. All of them are religious because they are sacred. Religion, is the sum total of all beliefs, that are taken as sacred by the “Ummah”. Aesthetic and rational rules are non-sacred and therefore they are outside of religion.

Islam takes ethical and legal rules as religious rules and thus makes them sacred. This conception is contrary to the interpretations of ethics and law, from the point of view of utilitarianism, historical materialism, and the doctrine of social contract. And this creates among the Moslems the bond of “Ummah” which goes beyond the limits of national boundaries, a natural threat to the west of such a bond. And this has always existed. This was the rational of breakup of ottoman / Osmanli Empire, as was also seen when British defused the Khilafat Movement in British India, or they have tried their best not to let Pan Islamism germinate. It is not that in Christianity, the effort on the part of the Pope, has not been there .The “Popes” used every charm in their inventory to claim authority over the political matters, but the Christian rulers declined to accept such claims because, according to rulers – Monarchist, no power can overrule them. And in the Orthodox Church, as we see in the historical perspectives, that the Christian religion was indeed sacrificed for the sake of the ego of the Christian rulers.

The idea and the theme of separating Church from the State originated within the sphere of these petty kings of Christendom. And the history, or political history, of Europe is full of such “CONCORDATS” (agreements between a state and the Church on Church affairs) continuously changing and always dragging both sides into conflicts.

The French parliament decided to separate these two powers from each other, completely. From that time onward, France did not have an ‘Official Religion’ and the Churches ceased to have any official character. They remained, just a private association, under the “Statute of Associations”. As was seen in the Ottoman Empire, the French Concord of 1801 became the source of inspirations of the French Oriented Ottoman Intellectuals whose culmination was the Turkish Constitution of 1924 where secularism became part of it.

وهاب: بعد بضعة أشهر تتبين أسباب حملة البطريرك

وهاب: بعد بضعة أشهر تتبين أسباب حملة البطريرك

اعتبر رئيس تيار التوحيد وئام وهاب، أن "لا وجود للبنان من دون المسيحيين، وأن الوجود المسيحي القوي والفاعل هو ضرورة للبنان والمنطقة قبل أن يكون للمسيحيين"، ولكنه استغرب كلام البطريرك الماروني نصرالله صفير، وأن "كلامه لا يليق بموقع البطريركية ويدخلها في سجال هي بغنى عنه"، مشيرا إلى أن "كل اللبنانيين ينظرون إلى موقع البطريرك باحترام، ولا يجوز لصفير أن يدخل نفسه في تفاصيل لن تؤدي إلى أي مكان"، مؤكدا أن "البطريرك صفير لا يستطيع أن يقيّم "حزب الله" في وطنيته، ولا يمكنه أن يعطي دروسا في الوطنية لأشخاص دفعوا دماء آلاف الشهداء دفاعا عن لبنان وترابه، وأبناء الطوائف جميعاً يشكون من رجال الدين في طوائفهم لكن لا يمكن مقارنة هؤلاء مع سماحة السيد حسن نصرالله وما قدمه شخصياً، ولا يمكن للبطريرك أن يستغبي الناس ويعتبر أن مسيحيي مصر بألف خير كون النظام المصري عميل للأميركيين". مطالباً إياه "بالتوقف عن النقاش في الموضوع، وليسمح لنا غبطته هو لا يمكنه تقييم حزب الله". وسأل "هل "الوطنية" أن يعود البطريرك صفير إلى لبنان خلال حرب تموز على متن طوافة عسكرية أميركية ربما كانت قبل ساعات تنقل أسلحة إلى إسرائيل؟" وأشار إلى أن "هجوم صفير على حزب الله وإيران وسوريا وميشال عون يغطي مشكلة داخلية في البطريركية وخلال الأشهر المقبلة يتبين السبب".

واعتبر وهاب، خلال حديث إلى قناة المنار ضمن برنامج "مع الحدث" مع الإعلامي علي قصير، إلى أن "العلاقة الدرزية المسيحية في الجبل هي صمّام أمان لكل لبنان، ولكن جزء قليل من المسيحيين يلعب باتجاه مغامرة خطيرة وسنخوض المواجهة معه حفاظاً على مسيحيي لبنان والمنطقة". ونبه "من رهان بعض اللبنانيين الموهومين، لكن موقف النائب وليد جنبلاط وجرأته في النقد الذاتي فيه درس كبير لهؤلاء وما قاله عن "أننا كنا أدوات صغيرة في السنوات الأخيرة ولم نكن ندري ماذا نفعل" اكبر دليل على ذلك".

وأضاف "أن يستقبل حسني مبارك سمير جعجع هو تنازل كبير من جعجع، لأن مبارك أسفل شخصية عربية جعلت من مصر العروبة والوطنية دولة هامشية لا دور لها". أما لقاء "جعجع مع كوشنير فإنه ليس غريباً لأن كوشنير إنسان مجنون ووضعه الرئيس ساركوزي في الخارجية ضمن لعبة فرنسية داخلية لتفكيك الأحزاب المواجهة له، ولكن كوشنير ليس لديه أي ملف جدّي ووزير الخارجية الفرنسي الحقيقي هو غيّان. أما لقاء جعجع مع وزير خارجية اسبانيا موراتينوس فإنه يندرج ضمن استقبالات موراتينوس كل القيادات اللبنانية. وفي المحصلة يبدو أن جعجع يستدرج هجوماً عليه حتى يبدو كبيراً، لإظهار نفسه وكأنه الشغل الشاغل لكل الناس، لكنه جزء من لعبة صغيرة جداً، لكن معظم القيادات والشخصيات اللبنانية فيما كان يسمى 14 آذار انتهى دورها الإقليمي".

وأكد أن "التوطين والتقسيم كانا أمراً واقعا لولا وجود سلاح المقاومة، والسلاح هو ضمانة عدم التوطين والتقسيم"، مشددا على "ضرورة معاملة الفلسطيني في لبنان بشكل جيد وحقه في العيش الكريم".

من جهةٍ أخرى اعتبر وهاب أنه "أمر طبيعي جداً أن استقبل جنباً إلى جنب مع النائب وليد جنبلاط السفير السوري في المختارة، ويكفينا شرف أننا كنا على حق عندما نسمع النقد الذاتي الجريء الذي اجراه جنبلاط للسنوات القليلة الماضية، وعودة الجبل، كما كان في الماضي، إلى جانب المقاومة وسوريا والقضايا العربية". ورد على اتهام جنبلاط بأنه ينفذ شروط خارجية بالقول "الدروز ليسوا تفصيلاً في لبنان منذ ألف عام وهم يلعبون دورهم العروبي وهم من صنع لبنان، وجنبلاط ليس ممن ينفذون شروط خارجية". وتمنى "على الرئيس أمين الجميل أن يميز بين من ينفذون الأجندات الخارجية ومن لا يستزلمون، وأن يلعب هو شخصياً دوراً أكثر ايجابية ولديه الإمكانية لذلك".

وعلق على فكرة "حياد لبنان" بأنه "طرح سخيف يهدف إلى مساعدة إسرائيل"، وسأل "أي حياد والإسرائيلي يهدد لبنان ويحاول منعه من استغلال ثروته النفطية المكتشفة في البحر؟. لماذا طاولة الحوار وان يعطي حزب الله البعض شرف الجلوس معه؟ ماذا يعرف فريد مكاري في الإستراتيجيات العسكرية؟". وقال "تسامحنا بالملفات الاقتصادية وصمتنا عن نهب المال العام وغيره ولكننا لن نتساهل في الموضوع الوطني والصراع العربي الإسرائيلي".

وأشار إلى أن "الإرادة الفردية تغيّر الواقع، وعندما تكون قوياً فإن العالم يخطب ودك ويحترمك وهذا ما حصل مع المقاومة، ونحن منذ عقود نشتكي إسرائيل إلى كل المؤسسات الدولية ماذا قدمت هذه المؤسسات؟ كل هؤلاء الذين يجولون العالم يستمدون حضورهم من قوة المقاومة ولولا المقاومة لما كان يستقبلهم احد، واحترامهم المصطنع يأتي من شتمهم للمقاومة التي هي علة وجودهم". ولفت وهاب إلى أن " رئيس الحكومة الأسبق النائب فؤاد السنيورة يجول في العالم ولديه مشروع واحد هو إزاحة رئيس الحكومة الحالي سعد الحريري، ويطرح نفسه لقيادة أي مشروع غربي جديد في لبنان والمنطقة، ولكنه لن يعود إلى رئاسة الحكومة مطلقاً".

ونبه المعارضة إلى "ضرورة العمل على ملفات اقتصادية واجتماعية وبيئية ومعالجة ملف الكهرباء وتقليص الفوارق الاجتماعية بين المناطق اللبنانية وإنماء الأرياف بشكل يثبت المواطنين في أراضيهم ويوقف الهجرة إلى الخارج والنزوح نحو المدينة والضواحي". وتمنى لو لم "توافق المعارضة على مشروع الموازنة الأخير الذي لا يقدم إلا طروحات كيفية خدمة الدين العام الذي ورطنا به مشروع فؤاد السنيورة".

وانتقد وهاب دور الإمارات العربية المتحدة في "دفع الأموال بأوامر أميركية لتسليح ميليشيات في لبنان، عبر الشيخ محمد بن زايد، وهذا الشيخ المجنون يدفع لأن هذه الميليشيا فقط تشتم حزب الله، وهؤلاء القلة يتوهمون بأنهم قادرون على الوقوف في وجه المقاومة، وينسون أنهم قد جربوا ذلك من قبل في 7 أيار. ولو كان الأمر بيدهم لشنوا الحرب على المقاومة ولبنان ولكنهم موهومون والإسرائيلي سيدفع الثمن وكذلك دول الخليج ستدفع الثمن، ونطمئنهم إلى انه لا بحث في موضوع نزع سلاح المقاومة حتى إشعار آخر طالما إسرائيل قائمة على ارض فلسطين ولو بعد مئة عام".

وانتقد وهاب دور "السفراء الأجانب في لبنان الذين يعودون إلى بلادهم ومعهم الملايين جراء الفساد والرشاوى من قبل بعض السياسيين اللبنانيين "اللحيسة" والعبيد لمن يحكم من السفراء الأجانب".

واعتبر أن "من مصلحتنا أن يبقى القضاء قوي لكن هناك بعض التعديات على كرامة الناس وبعض القضاة يجب أن يعودوا إلى منازلهم، ويجب ان نعمل على معالجة ملف القضاء ووزير العدل رغم خلافنا السياسي معه يعمل بجدية. لكن هناك بعض القضاة يتصرفون بـ"سادية مقيتة"، وأتمنى أن يحافظ القضاء على استقلالية ما بوجه السياسيين، رغم أن القضاة خاضعون لسيف التعيينات فكيف يمكن بناء قضاء صحيح؟. كذلك الأمر في تعيينات أجهزة الأمن بناءً على الولاء السياسي مما يضعف هذه المؤسسات".

وتوقع انه "طالما أن الحكومة الحالية معطلة عن العمل يجب أن نذهب نحو تغيير حكومي ولو برئاسة الحريري". مؤكداً أن "سوريا ليست مهتمة بالوضع اللبناني وهي لا تتدخل وعملها اليوم ينصب على ملف العراق". وأضاف "وضع المنطقة تغير جذرياً بعد الموقف التركي وصمود دول الممانعة والمقاومة، ولبنان سقط في يد الأميركيين في السابق بفعل الجاذبية ولكن اليوم يسقط بفعل جاذبية المشروع المضاد".

وكشف وهاب عن حديث يدور عن "قرار ظني للمحكمة الدولية في شهر تموز المقبل". ودعا الحكومة اللبنانية إلى "وقف التعاون مع المحكمة لأن دانييل CIA بلمار شخص نصّاب ويجب وضع حد لعبث المحكمة في التوازن والاستقرار الوطني اللبناني، والرئيس سعد الحريري جاد بعدم وقوع فتنة في لبنان، والاستقرار اللبناني أهم بكثير من قرارات المحكمة الدولية".

وعن وضع تيار التوحيد الداخلي قال أن "هناك ورشة داخلية وخلال ستة أشهر سيكون الوضع مختلف، ويلقى التيار التأييد الشعبي على ارض الواقع".

وأشار بأنه سيتقدم بدعوى ضد "سمير جعجع والدائرة الإعلامية في القوات على شتائمهم بحقي. وأتمنى على محكمة المطبوعات أن لا تدخل في متاهات تسييس القضايا القانونية".

واعتبر وهاب "أننا لم نكن بحاجة إلى حادثة "أسطول الحرية" كي يفتح حسني مبارك معبر رفح، وقد كان بإمكانه أن يأخذ قرارات "أشرف" من تلك التي اتخذها في السنوات الماضية، ولن نسمح له بمحاكمة من يساعد الفلسطينيين ويقف إلى جانبهم".

ولفت إلى أن "هناك الكثير من الدول التي لا تغطي الحرب على إيران في حال حصولها"، معتبرا أن "الولايات المتحدة الأميركية غير مرتاحة لشن حرب على إيران ولديها مشاكل في العراق وأفغانستان، والحرب على إيران هي مشروع دائم لإسرائيل، ولكن هل يعلم بعض حكام الخليج ماذا سيحصدون من أي ضربة لإيران وماذا سيحصل في مدنهم ودولهم". واعتبر أن "الأمر الخطير اليوم هو تصاعد العقوبات تجاه إيران بمساعدة عاصمة عربية عملت على تعويض الصين عن بعض خسائرها في العقوبات على إيران وفي ظل غياب مؤسف للدور الروسي، لكن إذا ما وقعت الحرب فإن دول الخليج ستدفع ثمن كبير".
