Iran Replaces USD with Euro as Reserve Currency..and so begin the war

It is really a bold move (click here) . Strategically it is within Iran's sovereign right. However no other nation has the ball to make the first move ditching the sinking dollar for fear of US brutal retaliation.

Saddam tried and was hung for it. And now I sense war with Iran is inevitable.

Sabra and Shatila Massacre Revisited

Most of You who are below thirty years of age probably have never heard of the tragedy of Sabra and Shatilla since it happened 27 years ago in which 700-3000 Palestine civilians refugees was brutally slaughtered by phalangist militia which aligned themselves to Israel.


The Sabra and Shatila Massare

On 6 June 1982, the Israeli army invaded Lebanon in what it described as ‘retaliation’ for the attempted assassination of Israeli Ambassador Argov in London on 4 June. The invasion, soon dubbed “Operation Peace for Galilee,” progressed rapidly. By 18 June 1982, Israel had surrounded the Palestine Liberation Organisation’s (PLO) armed forces in the western part of the Lebanese capital. A cease-fire, mediated by United States Envoy Philip Habib, resulted in the PLO evacuation of Beirut on 1 September 1982.


On 11 September 1982, Israeli Defence Minister Ariel Sharon, the architect of the invasion, announced that “2,000 terrorists” had remained inside the Palestinian refugee camps around Beirut. On Wednesday 15 September, the day after the assassination of Israeli-allied Phalangist militia leader and Lebanese President-elect Bashir Gemayel, the Israeli army occupied West Beirut, “encircling and sealing” the camps of Sabra and Shatila, which were inhabited by Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. By mid-day on 15 September 1982, the refugee camps were entirely surrounded by Israeli tanks and soldiers, who installed checkpoints at strategic locations and crossroads around the camps in order to monitor the entry or exit of any person. During the late afternoon and evening of that day, the camps were shelled.


Around mid-day on Thursday 16 September 1982, a unit of approximately 150 Israeli-allied Phalangists entered the first camp. For the next 40 hours members of the Phalangist militia raped, killed, and injured a large number of unarmed civilians, mostly children, women and elderly people inside the encircled and sealed camps. The estimate of victims varies between 700 (the official Israeli figure) to 3,500. The victims and survivors of the massacres have never been deemed entitled to a formal investigation of the tragedy, since Israel’s Kahan Commission did not have a judicial mandate and was not backed up by legal force.

Mengapa aku baling Kasut itu...

Kepada pejuang ini, aku salut kami di pagi hari raya ini. The Shoe thrower- I Am No Hero. I Just Acted As An Iraqi Who Witnessed The Pain And Bloodshed Of Too Many Innocents - By Muntazer al-Zaidi (19/9/09)

Muntazer al-Zaidi

Saturday, 19 September 2009 09:03

The Guardian, UK I am free. But my country is still a prisoner of war. There has been a lot of talk about the action and about the person who took it, and about the hero and the heroic act, and the symbol and the symbolic act. But, simply, I answer: what compelled me to act is the injustice that befell my people, and how the occupation wanted to humiliate my homeland by putting it under its boot. Over recent years, more than a million martyrs have fallen by the bullets of the occupation and Iraq is now filled with more than five million orphans, a million widows and hundreds of thousands of maimed. Many millions are homeless inside and outside the country. We used to be a nation in which the Arab would share with the Turkman and the Kurd and the Assyrian and the Sabean and the Yazid his daily bread. And the Shia would pray with the Sunni in one line. And the Muslim would celebrate with the Christian the birthday of Christ. This despite the fact that we shared hunger under sanctions for more than a decade. Our patience and our solidarity did not make us forget the oppression. But the invasion divided brother from brother, neighbour from neighbour. It turned our homes into funeral tents. I am not a hero. But I have a point of view. I have a stance. It humiliated me to see my country humiliated; and to see my Baghdad burned, my people killed. Thousands of tragic pictures remained in my head, pushing me towards the path of confrontation. The scandal of Abu Ghraib. The massacre of Falluja, Najaf, Haditha, Sadr City, Basra, Diyala, Mosul, Tal Afar, and every inch of our wounded land. I travelled through my burning land and saw with my own eyes the pain of the victims, and heard with my own ears the screams of the orphans and the bereaved. And a feeling of shame haunted me like an ugly name because I was powerless. As soon as I finished my professional duties in reporting the daily tragedies, while I washed away the remains of the debris of the ruined Iraqi houses, or the blood that stained my clothes, I would clench my teeth and make a pledge to our victims, a pledge of vengeance. The opportunity came, and I took it. I took it out of loyalty to every drop of innocent blood that has been shed through the occupation or because of it, every scream of a bereaved mother, every moan of an orphan, the sorrow of a rape victim, the teardrop of an orphan. I say to those who reproach me: do you know how many broken homes that shoe which I threw had entered? How many times it had trodden over the blood of innocent victims? Maybe that shoe was the appropriate response when all values were violated. When I threw the shoe in the face of the criminal, George Bush, I wanted to express my rejection of his lies, his occupation of my country, my rejection of his killing my people. My rejection of his plundering the wealth of my country, and destroying its infrastructure. And casting out its sons into a diaspora. If I have wronged journalism without intention, because of the professional embarrassment I caused the establishment, I apologise. All that I meant to do was express with a living conscience the feelings of a citizen who sees his homeland desecrated every day. The professionalism mourned by some under the auspices of the occupation should not have a voice louder than the voice of patriotism. And if patriotism needs to speak out, then professionalism should be allied with it. I didn't do this so my name would enter history or for material gains. All I wanted was to defend my country. Muntazer al-Zaidi is an Iraqi reporter who was freed this week after serving nine months in prison for throwing his shoe at former US president George Bush at a press conference.

I Malaysia F1 Team- Laju meninggalkan rakyat

Mungkin Pak Najib hendak menonjolkan dirinya setaraf Dr Mahathir sebagai 'visionary'. Seorang pemimpin yang memandang jauh kehadapan dengan idea-idea yang melampui zamannya.

Mahathir dikenali sebagai tonggak yang merubah (transform) negara Malaysia dari pada negara berasas tani kepada salah satu harimau Asia dengan beberapa polisi-polisi yang berimpak tinggi.

Mahathir melahirkan proton, lebuhraya Utara Selatan, Jambatan terpanjang di Asia, Menara berkembar yan ikonik sehinggalah Putrajaya . Idea -idea beliau penuh kontroversi tetapi hasilnya amat 'tangible'.

Apabila Najib sendiri mengumumkan pengelibatan malaysia didalam perlumbaan f1, ia menggambarkan seolah-olah beliau mempunyai pandangan jauh dengan memberi beberapa justifikasi ringan tentang kelebihan yang bakal Malaysia perolehi dengan pengelibatan tersebut.

Tetapi hakikatnya dengan memiliki pasukan F1 pada aku menggambarkan tahap pemikiran dan pemahaman yang sangat dangkal tentang percaturan perniagaan. Perbelanjaan untuk menguruskan F1 sebenarnya melebihi 300 juta USD setahun. Ia bernilai hampir 1 billion duit Ringgit Malaysia!.

Sikap beliau tidak menggambarkan keperihatinan beliau kepada apa yang bakal berlaku kepada dunia dalam sedikit masa lagi. F1 sebenarnya adalah taman permainan billionaire yang tidak tahu apa hendak buat dengan kekayaan mereka SENDIRI. Bukan menggunakan wang pembayar cukai untuk keseronokan yang terhad kepada dua tiga ekor manusia.

Jika Tony Fernandes merasakan dirinya setaraf Branson, biarkan dia menggunakan wangnya sendiri untuk berseronok di paddock. Mengapa kita perlu menaja beliau untuk berseronok-seronok. Wang rakyat hendaklah digunakan bagi menjamin kemajuan dan keselesaan rakyat. Rakyat tersperosok dengan tol, minyak dan kenaikkan harga bahan makanan.

Dunia belum keluar dari kemelut keruntuhan ekonomi. Malah 'rally' di Wall Street yang dibanggakan itu adalah hasil ransangan bertrillion dollar Amerika bukan disebabkan nilai 'intrinsic' syarikat-syarikat yang diperdagangkan. Semua itu hanyalah satu helah Amerika untuk memberi mereka sedikit masa bagi merencanakan sesuatu untuk keluar dari kemelut ini. Itupun jika mereka berjaya keluar.

Banyak petunjuk memberi isyarat yang Amerika akan menyaksikan gelombang keruntuhan kedua yang lebih dahsyat. Sudah tentu jika keruntuhan kedua melanda Amerika, Malaysia sebagai rakan dagang akan merasa bahang dan akan turut terjejas sama.

Lebih menakutkan kita dunia dijangka akan berhadapan dengan krisis makanan yang kronik menjelang 2015. Harga bahan makanan akan melonjak naik. Bacalah penyelidikan-penyelidikan yang dibuat. Apakah strategi kerajaan menghadapi krisis ini? Apakah langkah yang telah diambil untuk mengatasi bahana yang bakal menimpa?.

Tahukah Najib negara-nagara Timur Tengah banyak yang sudah membeli tanah pertanian di Filipina, Indonesia dan Thailand sebalagai satu langkah strategik untuk memastikan bekalan makanan mereka mencukupi?

Aku rasa kebanyakkan pemimpin nagara sekarang sudah menjadi Imelda Marcos. Terpisah dari realiti kesengsaraan dan kesukaran hidup rakyat biasa yang terpinggir. Disaat UMNO sedang tenat dengan masalah imej yang kronik, tindakan Najib hanya memperkuat keyakinan lebih 50% pengundi yang tidak mengundi BN bahawa tindakan mereka pada PRU 1 2 dahulu adalah betul.

Tidakkah najib belajar dari musibah Monsoon Cup?

Kandungan Vaksin H1N1 mengandungi enzim Khinzir

Kita minta Kementeria Kesihatan Menjelaskan hal ini. Tetapi hakikat ini adalah logik, sebab vaksin selsema babi mestilah datangnya dari Babikan?

The contents of the H1N1 vaccine that the World Health Organization (and soon too the US Government, via Executive Order or treaty) will be mandating that we all take? The contents might surprise you.

Demokrasi Jalanan Indonesia dan IQ dibawah paras normal

Apa bila Pak Sukarno menciptakan terma 'Demokrasi Terpimpin' di Indonesia sekitar 50 tahun dahulu, beliau mungkin amat tahu bahawa rakyatnya yang bersikap sangat emosional dan tidak punya keupayaan untuk berfikir secara rasional kerana kebanyakkan mempunyai IQ yang berada dibawah paras normal. Itu sebab mereka memerlukan 'alpha male' untuk sentiasa memimpin dan menunjukkan jalan. Tanpa 'alpha male' mereka akan membuat perkara-perkara bodoh.

Namun begitu sikap sombong diri mereka menutup perasaan 'inferiority complex' yang sering bermain didalam benak mereka . Suatu ketika aku pernah berbual-bual kosong dengan seorang pendatang haram Indonesia. Ketika itu umur aku sekitar 25 tahun dan pendatang ini sekitar 20an juga. Perbualan yang biasa-biasa itu akhir berkisar kepada soal kedua-dua bangsa. Menurut pendatang ini bangsa Indonesia sangat berani kerana mendapat kemerdekaannya dengan darah berbanding bangsa Melayu yang hanya mendapat kemerdekaan secara percuma dari British!. Menurut beliau lagi Melayu itu bererti lari..maknanya orang Melayu ini Bangsa Indonesia yang lari ke Semenanjung kerana tidak betah berhadapan dengan Belanda.

Jawapan aku mudah sahaja, kemerdekaan Malaya dari British menunjukkan kebijaksanaan orang Melayu berunding dengan British tanpa menitiskan darah. Apaguna berbunuh-bunuhan jika ia boleh diperolehi di meja rundingan?. Tentang Melayu yang lari itu, aku bertanya kepadanya apa yang dia buat di Malaysia secara haram ini? bukankah beliau juga lari dari negaranya?. Ini membuat beliau tersipu-sipu dan terus beredar.

Mungkin itulah sebabnya Indonesia melarang semua bekas-bekas rakyatnya dari keturunan Jawa, Bali,Batak,Maluku, Madura, Flores dll mengamalkan budaya nenek moyang mereka di Malaysia sebab sebaik melintas selat Melaka, mereka dianggap lari (layu) dan terus dikategorikan sebagai Melayu.

Hakikatnya dalam mana-mana masyarakat kita akan dapati sekumpulan manusia yang mempunyai IQ setaraf lembu dan ini akan mencetuskan banyak hal yang tidak diingini. Tetapi di Indonesia ini semua dibenarkan diatas dasar demokrasi dan kebebasan melahirkan perasaan. Tetapi membawa buluh runcing ke hulu ke hilir hanya menggambarkan undang-undang rimba.

Kata aku kepada orang-orang seperti ini, keluarlah dari tempurung anda!.

Bayangkan jika orang Malaysia melakukan aksi sweeping dengan 'menyetop' (kah kah..aku selalu terfikir mengapa Indon tidak mengambil bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa kebangsaan mereka kerana mereka suka sangat menyalin bulat-bulat perkataan bahasa Inggeris) mereka yang tidak mempunyai kartu pengenalan..MALAYSIA AKAN DAPAT MEMBERSIHKAN 3 JUTA PENDATANG HARAM! WOW SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

Apakah reaksi Indon? mereka akan berpiket lagi. Bakar bendera lagi. Baling telur di kedutaan Malaysia. Wartawan mereka akan segera mendakwa terdapat pencabulan hak asasi mereka. Mereka merasa amat berhak untuk datang dan pergi sesuka hati ke Malaysia secara haram.

Malaysia adalah lubuk emas yang tidak boleh di tinggalkan. Tanyalah Pak Duta mereka yang membalun 10 juta hasil rasuah untuk membuat permit sahaja!

Salam untuk warga yang di'stop'.
