Over 1000 US foreign military bases yet commotion over Sri Lanka’s internal military

ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-I emphasized the importance of progress in reducing the role and profile of the military in the North, and full respect for human rightsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” thus said Robert Blake, an US official flying regularly to Sri Lanka bringing messages from his Government. Interesting as the statement is, it raises one simple question ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” in which international law book does it say that the US can have over thousands of foreign military bases while US can dictate to a sovereign nation on how to place its military inside its country? This is the question Sri Lankans like to ask and have answered. When the nations legally made to host these US foreign installations oppose US presence, what ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-accountabilityƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ does the US have for respecting the calls of these natives ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” since The ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Status of Forces AgreementƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ has guaranteed that US cannot be held accountable for their crimes in any country that the US has bases in.

Exact US foreign military bases: Keep Guessing

It is believed that the US has over 1000 foreign military bases in over 120 nations and territories while UK and France have a further 200 in their former colonies. Inside these territories and nations the US bases and outposts are equally shocking. The number of US personnel currently stationed number over 160,000 and excludes US personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and Kwajalein Atoll. All bases functions as storage facilities for weapons including nuclear arms, training, intelligence gathering, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-echelonƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ bases monitor all email, phone and data communication traffic, extra-judiciary transport, imprisonment and torture of which Guantanamo Bay is the best example.

World War 2 gave US the excuse to strategize and establish a global network of military bases to protect its interests and those of its allies. Ironically, much of the security concerns US has today results from its own self-destructive actions and bullying approach. But, the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-security factorƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ has been used to install bases in East Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Thus, the bases are crucial for US, NATO and EU and are perfect to overthrow governments diplomatically or militarily. The shocking military invasions numbering over 300 over the past century have been launched from these foreign bases thus the need to understand the threat posed to national security of any country entering the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-enemyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ list or ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-economic targetƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ list.

The US has divided the world into 6 territories ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” 4 are located in the US and the other 2 in Stuttgart where the European Command territory stretches from Greenland to Alaska including Turkey, while the AFRICOM oversees military operations in Africa. EUCOM and AFRICOM is authorized to command US missions from Germany. Germany is the center of US military intelligence in Europe. Its not just foreign bases that the US has secured. What about the buildings, the heavy infrastructure, the storage tanks, the runways, rail lines and even pipelines that the US secures in all of these nations and territories?

To add to the confusion has been the numbers of private security contractors like Blackwater (Xe) who are based in all of the locations that the US troops are in. It is they who carry out the drone attacks and have been responsible for much of the mayhem taking place in the Middle East through their mercenary services.

Bases in Iraq and Afghanistan

The number of US bases in Iraq (505) were revealed only after US troops were preparing to leave Iraq. Officially, we are told that the US has removed troops from Iraq but does this not include the Dept of Defense staff currently in Iraq? The bases in Afghanistan is over 1500 counting all the forward operating bases, checkpoints, mega-bases, military installations and other logistical support facilities. The number of US troops stands at over 100,000 if not more. In 2002 NATO had 800 bases in Afghanistan. We may never know the exact numbers as at present but the Afghan bases are not reducing! Another question is why would US and NATO desire to have bases with sophisticated offices and gigantic airbases only along the gas and oil pipeline that is being built?

Why is it that the entirety of US bases in Afghanistan are all located along the route of the gas/oil pipeline? Why has opium production increased by a staggering 3100% (from 185tons before arrival of US in 2001 and now 5800tons in 2011) ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” Afghanistan accounts for 90% of opium and cannabis supplies to the world? What about the precious minerals like lithium, gold, iron, copper and cobalt that has also been discovered? Opium, morphine, cannabis, heroin, codeine, thebaine are all sought after by pharmaceutical companies.

Unknown to most of us AfghanistanƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Hindu Kush region is the home to rich soil ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” uranium, copper, lithium, gold and iron ore worth upto $3trillion. Hajigak area is said to contain 1.8tons of iron ore. Lithium is rare but needed for cell phones, portable computers, electric car batteries and so Afghanistan certainly has much to offer the mining industries!

The 9/11 attackers were not IraqiƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s nor had they links to Al Qaeda, neither did Iraq have WMDs but Iraq was attacked. US attacked Iraq to secure 115billion barrels of oil reserves! US spends $900billion per year on destruction when 49m Americans live in poverty and 46million depend on food stamps to survive and 4m are homeless.

Are there geological treasures in Sri Lanka in particular the North and East apart from the natural harbor?

Europe

US has 293 bases in Germany ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” why is it necessary for the US and UK to have bases in Germany or Japan 65 years after World War with over 70,000 US troops currently in Germany, more than 45,000 US soldiers in Japan and close to 30,000 US troops in South Korea?

The largest overseas US base is in Ramstein Air Base where US sent 40,000 troops to Afghanistan in 2009 ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan are flown and then sent to Landstuhl the largestƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  US military hospital. Ramstein is used to cover 3 continents (51 nations) and has the largest US military shopping center and a 350 room hotel. There are 20 nuclear weapons at Buchel guarded by 50 US special forces troops. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Over 80% of supplies of weapons, troops and other logistical requirements are routed via Germany. In 2008, there were over 1350 military transport landings in Leipsiz including 500,000 GIs en route to or from Iraq and Afghanistan. German-owned DHL has the exclusive US Army contract for courier services in Afghanistan and Iraq. Commercial airports like Hahn and US training at Grafenwohr is also provided.

Though the reunification agreement of the early 90s gives Germany the right to cancel US bases the Stationing of Forces Agreements with the US makes it unlikely that Germany would prohibit or restrict US military bases as Turkey did following the Iraq invasion though majority of Germans opposed the Iraq invasion.

The Netherlands is another US ally and hosts 7 US bases with nuclear warheads including 2 undisclosed locations that functions are reconnaissance flights over Colombia. All US arms and materials enter US without going through Dutch customs. All pilots flying on KLM have signed contracts that declare they have to take direct orders from the US air force in case of a war.

Asia ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” Countering China and Pilfering Resources

Following the Korea war the US has over 100 bases and facilities in Korea. Cases of US crimes in Korea are many yet US soldiers are never accountable and are instead repatriated where military court generally declares them ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-not guiltyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ or passes the most lenient of judgments. No damages can be claimed by the victims as the guilty enjoys legal immunity.

Iran and Pakistan have also begun building an oil and natural gas pipeline traversing Afghanistan and the pipeline has completed the Iranian portion and is now at the Pakistani border. Iran, Pakistan and even Afghanistan are all looking to push US away. While the US has been doling blood and money into these nations the people hate the US and are now looking for partners in China. US is seeking to include India into its periphery.

Rising demand for closure of US bases

Much of the outcries to close foreign military bases is due to their impact on land, water resources, communications, environment and health, cultural identity and the crimes that take place with foreign troops violating humanitarian international laws but having a carte blanche and immunity.

The military bases are located in strategic places, not only from the political and economic point of view, but they are placed near natural resources such as oil, water and biodiversity.

The US appears to care less over the rising numbers of calls for the closure of its military bases on the grounds that the facilities are undermining international peace and security as they are stations meant to prepare for war. Let us not forget that it was the US bases in Germany, Turkey, Diego Garcia, Saudi Arabia and other pro-US Gulf States that facilitated the Iraq invasion. Aerial bombings on Pakistan are launched from Diego Garcia, Ecuador base is used for covert military actions on Colombia, Iraq and Turkey bases functions as intelligence missions for Iran and Syria.

Iran is aware that it is being watched from US-occupied Iraq and Afghanistan while 8 of its neighbors are also hosting US/NATO bases. Moreover Iran is also faced with threats from US-backed nuclear powers of Israel, Pakistan and India and nuclear warheads in Turkey.

These foreign bases are causing social and environmental problems ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” rises in rapes by US soldiers, crimes, pollution, health hazards caused by testing conventional and non-conventional weapons are grounds for the opposition. The tragedy is that the agreements signed to enable the presence of US troops in these countries makes US soldiers unaccountable and immune from all local laws.

Nevertheless, it has not deterred residents from crying foul ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” activists and locals protested against expansion of US base with a new landing strip in Italy, the people of Okinawa, Japan are continuing their opposition that 30% of the island of Okinawa is being used by the US military since World War 2 and Okinawans even blocked the construction to a new base which was stopped in 2008 by a US court on ecological grounds. Residents of Okinawa have increased their opposition due to 12 MV-22 Osprey aircrafts operating in highly populated areas (Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Ginowan and Okinawa) following crashes in Morocco and Florida. The Status of Forces agreement is a hindrance to the Japanese Government taking any action though US moved 4700 marines to Guam and 3000 to Hawaii, Philippines and Australia. Okinawa is important to the US because of its vantage on China, Taiwan and North Korea. However Futenma base (in the city of Ginowan which has overƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  90,000 residents) is unlikely to be ever moved off Okinawa. The plight of the Okinawians is made worse because Okinawa has only 4 seats in JapanƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s lower house therefore the peopleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s verdict is of little consequence to political decisions.

Africans strongly opposed the US Africa Command with a headquarters costing over US$500m with close to 2000 US troops in Djibouti.

Natives from Puerto Rico (Vieques) were expelled from their homes to make way for a US bomb testing range that used 2/3 of the island and protests resulted in US navy withdrawing in 2004.

In 1973, under the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) all citizens of Diego Garcia were rounded up, put on ships and sent to Mauritius following a US-UK deal allowing US to have an airbase in Diego Garcia. However, the Chagossian natives have won court cases in the UK to their right to return by that right has been blocked by British executive orders.

A RAND Corporation study reveals that 57% of all Germans want a complete withdrawal of US troops from Germany.

There are numerous local campaigns and movements like the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases and the No Bases Network that are continuing the fight to resist military bases overseas and making progress internationally. The closure of the Manta military base in Ecuador is one such success story.

Costs Incurred

The cost of running over 1000 military bases overseas is over $100billion annually and excludes costs for Iraq and Afghanistan.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Of the 2012 Federal Budget 59% – USD553billion has gone towards military and homeland security. 2% on Agriculture, Justice and Energy, 4% on Dept of State, Urban Development & Housing, 6% on education and healthcare &15% on other. In 1990 the national debt was $3.2trillion today it is a whopping $15.7trillion and counting (a 500% increase in 22 years).The next question is how or who has benefited from $11.5trillion spending on war?19 hijackers who pulled off 9/11 has resulted in US spending $3trillion on wars and denying the American people their own freedom and liberties. Yet the irony is that since 1941 the US has NOT being attacked by any foreign power to warrant spending on the military. It then appears that much of the hate the US administrations and its media enjoy promoting amongst the masses are self-created. With the creation of nuclear missiles that should be ample security! The current reliance of pre-emptive wars has made the US financially defunct and internationally mocked by those aware of the truth.

Meanwhile, globally the world spends $1.7trillion annually on designing new ways to kill, 13m die every year from starvation, 925m are undernourished, 1 child dies every 5 seconds due to hunger (16,000 daily deaths and 6m deaths cer year) ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” the cost taken to make a missile could give lunch to a school for 5 years! Does US elect representatives to allocate 44% of taxes towards killing?

It is the Politicians and not the military that start wars often coerced to do so by the super rich whose avarices and sadisms forces Governments to leave the fighting role to the poor. People are simply pawns and they die like dogs while millions is spent on devising lies to feed the world. Then comes the patriotic speeches for the bravery of the troops who had been sacrificed.

Over 6500 US soldiers have died while close to 50,000 are badly injured. Suicide rates of soldiers have increased by 80% – 300,000 that returned from Iraq and Afghanistan suffered post-traumatic stress disorders.

The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform has suggested to cut US troops in Europe and Asia by one-third which would save America $8.5billion in 2015 will the US close its bases?

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Violent Truth

What America needs to understand is that if it thinks the world hates America it is because American Governments are killing innocent people ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” none of them are ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-terroristsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. America is spending trillions for the past 11 years and who has benefited? American taxpayers are footing the bill, American soldiers are sacrificing their lives and body parts to enable a handful of companies to reap gigantic profits from drugs!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The US became the sole superpower in 1989 with the collapse of the Soviet Union ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” why would it want to go to wars without provocation and spend trillions? What kind of an acceptable excuse is it to argue that the US arms industry is employing millions and benefiting the US when all that they are doing is to make weapons that are meant to kill and create a supply for those weapons?

Invasions with military action has nothing to do with security of nations but everything to do with pilfering nations by a handful that uses politicians to order wars and invasions so that their corporations could walk in and plunder the natural resources of nations is what todays wars, terrorism and R2P is all about.

US tax payers are paying for numerous foreign invasions putting their country in debt while a handful of elite global powers are reaping the benefits and US envoys play puppet diplomatic dictators to former colonies!

We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

Dwight D. Eisenhower

We know more about war than we know about peace, we know more about killing than we know about living. We need to now change.

    The USA’s evolution from a civilian to military economy reached a point of no return about fifty years ago.Since then, a perpetual war machine was in motion with Wall Street Zionist investment banks funding USA’s military economy.

    33rd President of the USA – Harry S. Truman’s National Security Council Paper, “NSC-68”, which put forth that the USA could sustain its economic growth by applying John Maynard Keynes’ emphasis on the role of government to the military or “security” sphere.

    President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Council Paper, “NSC-68″ as the USA’s basic policy doctrine in Sept 1950. Although the world was at peace at that time, the President Harry S. Truman’s directive called for increasing the annual military budget by 350%. “Military Keynesianism” soon became the essence of the USA’s economy and the Wall Street Zionist investment banks took full advantage of this new investment opportunity.

    While the US Military contracts were awarded to defense contractors to maintain the “Cold War” with Soviet Union(USSR), American industrial plants began to decay. Outsourcing came into vogue as Americans bought foreign TV sets, cameras, and cars. The US labels on foreign products were just US wrappers on Asian products.

    Turning their investments to consumer production and commercial markets abroad, Wall Street Zionists began concentrating their finances on US military production. Skilled technique and able management now belonged to Japan, not America.

    Wall Street Zionist bankers were no longer interested in US civilian production. Their market was the US government and payments were fed by the Zionist owned Federal Reserve. So why bother investing in US-made cameras or washing machines when you could invest in bombers and drones where the profits were much higher with no risk.

    Reaching a position of permanence after 9/11, “Military Keynesianism” had produced a “National Security State” — controlled by Zionists and financed by Wall Street. By signing NSC-68 in 1950, President Harry. S.Truman had given birth to a Military/Zionist global beast. The push for new and more deadly military arm and ammunition is currently fueled by Wall Street Zionist investment banks, with Goldman Sachs and State Street Corporation at the lead.

    With US military spending being the largest single item in the federal budget for fiscal 2010 and calls from Obama for a record $708 Billion to fund his wars, defense contractors get their marching orders from Wall Street Zionist investment analysts who dictate contractors’ business policies from their financial towers on Wall Street.

    Based on a Goldman Sachs Report published on June 5, 2009, which forecasted a decline in investments in defense industries, General Dynamics announced that it was acquiring Axsys Technologies, a company that provides high-end optics for unmanned drones, in order to attract investors.

    In another example of Zionist bankers’ control of Defense contractors, shares of Lockheed Martin were driven down by 1.3% on January 6, 2010, after Goldman Sachs told investors to “sell” rather than “hold” Lockheed stocks.

    Not only do the Zionists on Wall Street control defense industries externally, but they maintain leverage over the defense contractors, internally. A greater amount of power over the military industries has been concentrated into fewer hands – as it only takes 10% ownership of stock to control a widely-held corporation) – and these hands are those of huge Zionist investment blocs.

    Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman have large Zionist banks as their major investors. The huge investment bank, State Street Corporation, is the major stockholder of these 3 top US defense contractors. In the Board of Directors of SSC, one can find the names of Robert S Kaplan (Former Senior Director of Goldman Sachs); Robert Weissman; and Peter Coym (Former Chairman of Lehman Brothers.)

    State Street Bank owns 19% of Lockheed Martin stock, 11% of Boeing stock, and 9% of Northrop Grumman stock. Co-shareholders in these companies as well as in Halliburton and Raytheon, include the Zionist Investment banks, Goldman Sachs, Oppenheimer Funds, and Capital Research And Management Company.

    No General of US armed forces and thus the entire US military, makes a decision apart from the Zionists on Wall Street who control his ability to wage war with the deadly armaments they provide.

    The U.S. government does NOT issue the U.S. “paper” money. The Federal Reserve Notes are issued by the Rockefeller founded and controlled Federal Reserve Bank. It is a PRIVATE Bank and is not part of the U.S. government. The Federal Reserve Bank has the power to create money out of nothing and with access to unlimited credit has financed ALL the wars of the 20th century and will finance the coming aggression against Iraq. hus the priority that Israel placed on U.N. recognition after President Harry Truman acknowledged Israel on May 14, 1948, eleven minutes after the Zionist enclave declared itself a state.

    In 1948, the Rothschilds bribe US President Harry S. Truman to recognize Israel (Rothschild owned Zionist not Jewish territory) as a sovereign state with $2,000,000 which they give to him on his campaign train.

    They then declare Israel to be a sovereign Jewish state in Palestine and within half an hour President Truman declared the United States to be the first foreign nation to recognize it.

    In December 1948, Albert Einstein and 27 prominent Jews urged us “not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.” They warned that a “Leader State” was the goal of the “terrorist party” that has governed Israel over all but a handful of the past 62 years.
    Zionists have just about sucked the USA dry, and like most parasites, will be seeking a new host. Zionist strategy will be to use the US Military as its muscle to take over each country, while concurrently sucking the USA’s own citizens dry with corruption and thus relegating them back to a 3rd world economy. They have gutted the US economy via shipping middle class manufacturing jobs etc. to China and building up China to be what the USA once was. Then when the time is ripe, the Zionists will do to China what it has done elsewhere. Zionists will switch identities and citizenship as they change their jackets. If China becomes stronger than the USA, they would all move to China.

    Trillionaire masters of the universe remain hidden whilst Forbes magazine poses lower ranking billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett as the richest men in the World. Combined wealth of Zionist Rockefeller family in 1998 was approximately $11 trillion and the Zionist Rothschilds $100 trillion. The known history of civilization is merely the visible part of the iceberg. There is a shadow economy, shadow politics and also a shadow history, known to conspirologists. There are unseen forces acting in the World, unstoppable for most powerful countries and even continents.

    “Examining the organization and function of the Federal Reserve Banks, and applying the relevant factors, we conclude that the Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA, but are independent, privately-owned and locally controlled corporations.”
    – US Court Decision – Lewis vs. U.S., 680 F. 2d 1239, 1241

    “We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are U.S. government institutions. They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies; domestic swindlers, rich and predatory money lenders which prey upon the people of the united States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. The Federal Reserve Banks are the agents of the foreign central banks. The truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States by the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board.”
    Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking & Currency Committee, speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, June 10, 1932

    “In the united States we have, in effect, two governments….We have the duly constituted Government….Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution.”
    -Congressman Wright Patman, Chairman of the House Banking & Currency Committee, speech on the House floor, 1967

    “Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders….The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and….manipulates the credit of the united States.”
    -Senator Barry Goldwater

    “Federal Reserve Notes are illegal”
    -US Representative Dr. Ron Paul

    Basically, it is because the international bankers, having unlimited funds, own and control the mainstream media. “These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.”
    – Teddy Roosevelt

    Thank you NT again exposing ( rather publishing ) the truth.
    Zionists you mentioned , Rockefeller, Rothschilds et al are the worst criminal against humanity. Prabhakaran is nothing compared to crimes comitted by these barbaric murderers, hiding behind money.

    Our own Zionist is silent.

  3. Nalliah Thayabharan Says:

    USA was deeply concerned with the stability of the host nation of any potential base, and sought an unpopulated territory, to avoid United Nations’s decolonisation requirements and the resulting political issues of sovereignty or anti-US sentiment. The Chagossian right of occupation was violated by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office as a result of the 1966 agreement between UK & US governments The forced removal of the Chagossian people was an act of ethnic cleansing. The frustration of more than four decades of of exile for the Chagos islanders exacerbated by the refusal of successive UK governments to find a just solution kept breaking though. How can it be that a military settlement is lawful when the rightful inhabitants are not allowed to settle there? US & UK military squatters have taken over the rightful habitation of the islands. Each revelation about the UK’s dealings with Diego Garcia is more disgraceful than the previous, and still the cover-up continues.
    Presently about 50 British and 1,500 U.S. military personnel, and 3,000 support workers of various nationalities – primarily Sinhalese and Filipinos – reside at Diego Garcia.
    Most of the roughly 1,500 displaced Chagossians were agricultural workers and fisherman. Uprooted and robbed of their livelihood, the Chagossians now live in poverty in Mauritius’s urban slums, more than 1,500km from their homeland. A smaller number were deported to the Seychelles. About 800 islanders forced off Diego Garcia are alive today, and another 5,000 Chagossians have been born in exile. As G deSilva mentioned , a 2003 60 Minutes segment and a 2004 documentary by Australian journalist and filmmaker John Pilger, “Stealing a Nation”, have done much to publicize the little-known plight of the islanders.
    In May 2006, the British High Court in London ruled that the Chagossians may in fact return to other Chagossian islands, and offered a withering assessment of the British conduct in the case, calling it “outrageous, unlawful and a breach of accepted moral standards.”
    “The suggestion that a minister can, through an Order in Council, exile a whole population from a British Overseas Territory and claim he is doing so for the ‘peace, order and good government’ of the Territory is repugnant.”
    The Chagossians have accepted that they cannot return to Diego Garcia because of the U.S. airbase, but the islanders want to move elsewhere in the Chagos archipelago, to the Salomon islands and Peros Banhos, which are more than 150km from Diego Garcia. USA is opposed to anyone other than military personnel and their employees living anywhere in the Chagos archipelago, asserting that security will be compromised. According to a US State Department official, Lincoln Bloomfield Jr., allowing civilians in the archipelago could potentially lead to “terrorists infiltrating the islands.”
    Visit http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3667764379758632511# to watch the documentary by John Pilger titled ‘Stealing of a Nation’ which discusses the current plight of these indigenous people who have been forcibly exiled by the so-called guardians of democracy and human rights, the British, for the benefit of their loyal friends, the Americans, so that the US has an unrestricted platform to launch attacks on other nations which do not comply with the so called ‘new world order’ as dictated by the US.

    “They (the Zionists) work more effectively against us, than the enemy’s armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in… It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pest to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.”
    – GEORGE WASHINGTON
    George Washington (1732 – 1799), was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and later as the United States’s first President. He also presided over the convention that drafted the US Constitution. Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, is named for him, as is the State of Washington on the Pacific Coast.

  7. Nalliah Thayabharan Says:

    “I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. The menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation is founded, by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within the state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal. For over 1,700 years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only among themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other people not of their race. If you do not exclude them from these United States, in their Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives our substance and jeopardized our liberty. If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will nor how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise. Their ideas do not conform to an American’s, and will not even thou they live among us ten generations. A leopard cannot change its spots. Jews are Asiatics, are a menace to this country if permitted entrance, and should be excluded by this Constitutional Convention. ”

    by Benjamin Franklin at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention of 1787.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and the glass ‘armonica’. He facilitated many civic organizations, including a fire department and a university.

    GEORGE BERNARD SHAW – London Morning Post, December 3, 1925

    “This craving for bouquets by Jews is a symptom of racial degeneration. The Jews are worse than my own people. Those Jews who still want to be the chosen race (chosen by the late Lord Balfour) can go to Palestine and stew in their own juice. The rest had better stop being Jews and start being human beings”

    “Marx is a Jew and is surrounded by a crowd of little, more or less intelligent, scheming, agile, speculating Jews, just as Jews are everywhere, commercial and banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers of all shades; in short, literary brokers, just as they are financial brokers, with one foot in the bank and the other in the socialist movement, and their arses sitting upon the German press. They have grabbed hold of all newspapers, and you can imagine what a nauseating literature is the outcome of it. Now this entire Jewish world, which constitutes an exploiting sect, a people of leeches, a voracious parasite, Marx feels an instinctive inclination and a great respect for the Rothschild’s. This may seem strange. What could there be in common between communism and high finance? Ho ho! The communism of Marx seeks a strong state centralization, and where this exists there must inevitably exist a state central bank, and where this exists, there the parasitic Jewish nation, which speculates upon the labor of the people, will always find the means for its existence . . . In reality, this would be for the proletariat a barrack regime, under which the workingmen and the working closely and intimately connected with one another, regardless not only of frontiers but of political differences as well — this Jewish world is today largely at the disposal of Marx or Rothschild. I am sure that, on the one hand, the Rothschild’s appreciate the merits of Marx, and that on the other hand, women, converted into a uniform mass, would rise, fall asleep, work and live at the beat of the drum; the privilege of ruling would be in the hands of the skilled and the learned, with a wide scope left for profitable crooked deals carried on by the Jews, who would be attracted by the enormous extension of the international speculations of the national banks . . . ”
    – MIKHYL BAKUNYIN
    This startling piece of prediction is particularly impressive to those who have observed the Soviet scene and notice its strange relationship with capitalist financiers — overwhelmingly Zionists – since the revolution. The line runs from Olof Aschberg, self-described “Bolshevik banker” who ferried to Trotsky the huge sums raised for the revolution by financiers in Europe and USA, to Armand Hammer in the 1970s, who has specialized in multimillion-dollar trade concessions with the now supposedly ‘anti-Semitic’ commissars.

They complained Sri Lanka is being unfairly criticized for alleged abuses as the war was ending in 2009.”

    jews ( sometime, there weeks or months, or years or certain periods that jews are against Sri lanka, depend on what Sinhalese says. When western spies write a article supporting tigers or Tamil Nadu, Singhalese response with Israelis illegality. then Jews come with some thing ugly attacking sinhalese identity and Buddhist religion. British did this over last thirty years. In fact attacking identity or religion or other culture is British way of hurting other people deep down their hearts.

    Why British who took the lead in attacking Sinhalese and Buddhism allow Jews to make film or Denis to make fun of Islamic culture? the secret is Muslim will ex pell British out of Indian and other continents which British can afford.

    But The real fact is that All western Jews run their agency in UK, US, Canada, Norway. France , Australia, Canada and other European and now established eastern European countries.
    all these spies work done by fully backed UK US ,Canada and other European countries. And also, Western Jews are stationed as part of Israel spy agency in UK, US, Canadian, Norwegian and French embassies but also, other European like Denis s too authorised them to do it.
    Other organizations like Canadian American, British, Danish and other European NGOs run by Western Isreli Jewish agencies.
    Canadian and other NGO got into Sri lanka by threatening war crime charges. and they are right now spying on Sinhalese and try to change Sinhalese culture.
    Asoka Weerasignhe said about two weeks ago ” to send Canadian “to influence Sinhalese” what is influence? To teach Sinhalese girls wear naked dress and destroy sinhalese culture using possible every other tool. However, all
    these fashion industry is one part of western tool which is one of thousand tools used to destroy Sinhalese.
    one of main one was already introduced to Singhalese which is drugs and rape.

    There are NO LAND OR AREAS in Sri Lanka that belong EXCLUSIVELY to Tamil People.

    ALL of Sri Lanka belongs EQUALLY to ALL of its people, irrespective of community.

    As the Defence Secretary points out, the MAJORITY of Tamils in Sri Lanka live in the South among the Sinhalese.

    Why then is the settling of Sinhala people in the North & East called “Colonization”? They are entitled as Sri Lankan citizens to settle and live ANYWHERE in Sri Lanka just as the Tamils settle and live in the South. We cannot have one set of rights for Tamils and another restricted set of rights for non-Tamils.

    These DEMANDS REFLECT the Racist, Apartheid attitudes of Greedy Selfish Eelamists who want to have their Exclusive Cake in the North and EAT an EQUAL Share of Cake of the Sinhalese also.

    Such Selfish Racist DEMANDS cannot be Accommodated in Sri Lanka, whatever the jaundiced “international community” may say! We will not ALLOW the creation of a patchwork of Apartheid Bantustans in Sri Lanka, come what may.

    Tamils should adjust to living as EQUAL citizens of Sri Lanka without DEMANDING for SPECIAL RIGHTS UNAVAILABLE to OTHER Sri Lankan citizens.

    The “INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY” should recognize the RACIST INTOLERANT UNDEMOCRATIC SEPARATIST character of Tamil Eelamist demands and NOT PANDER TO THEM!

    Defence Sec. dismisses TNA claims

    By Shamindra Ferdinando
    September 20, 2012

    Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said yesterday that Tamil speaking people living in the Northern and Eastern Provinces were free now.

    Tamil people appreciated the ongoing accelerated development programme in war devastated districts. The international community was appreciative of the post-war recovery process, the Defence Secretary said, alleging that despite all that an attempt was still being made to portray a bleak picture.

    The international community should realize that those making unsubstantiated allegations against the GoSL today remained silent to Tiger atrocities as long as they felt the LTTE could achieve its military objectives, he said. The government welcomed senior representatives of the international community seeing the ground situation and raising contentious issues with relevant authorities. “We don’t have anything to hide. In fact, those alleging state sponsored colonization in the Northern and Eastern Provinces are mum on people driven out of their villages during the war by the LTTE,” the Defence Secretary said. They were also silent about large number of Tamils from a North and East freely settling down in a South, he said.

    Rajapaksa recalled how the LTTE detained even local UN staff and prevented their families from seeking refuge during the Vanni offensive. The official expressed confidence that the international community would examine the post-war situation.

    The Defence Secretary was responding to a spate of allegations made by the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) at a meeting it had with a visiting UN delegation.

    A delegation of the Tamil National Alliance met Hanny Megally, Chief, Asia, Pacific,

    Middle East and North Africa Branch, Field Operations and Technical Cooperation Division of

    the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and his team of officials

    at the office of the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations. UN Resident Coordinator

    Subinay Nandy was also present. The TNA delegation comprised R Sampanthan, Mavai Senathirajah, Suresh Premachandran, Selvam Adaikalanathan, P Selvarajah and M A Sumanthiran, Members of Parliament.

    At the conclusion of the meeting, the TNA said: “Amongst the matters discussed were land issues relating to security zones, particularly Valikamam and Sampur where the displaced people have not been able to resettle, their lands being taken over for military purposes, lands being taken over ostensibly for development purposes and on which, persons of the majority community are being settled, cultural and religious places being denied to the Tamil people, issues relating to demilitarization, disappearances, detenues, changes in the demographic composition in the North and the East, accountability and the evolution of an acceptable political solution. The question of whether the Sri Lankan government is unequivocally committed to the implementation of the recommendations of the LLRC and the resolution adopted by the UNHRC at its sessions in March 2012 were also discussed.”

  17. Ananda-USA Says:

    I don’t agree with jayt that Jews are responsible for NGOs activities in Sri Lanka, or even that they are trying to destroy the Sinhalese people and Buddhist culture. Where is the evidence for that?

    Speaking as a Sinhalese Buddhist, I think I can speak impartially about Jews, and there seems to be a compelling need to set some facts straight.

    Because of their Biblical history related to the role the Jewish religious leaders played in the execution of Jesus by the Romans, Jews were discriminated against and ostracized in Europe, ignoring the fact that Jesus himself was a Jew, falling under the jurisdiction of the Jewish leaders! A glaringly peculiar, inconsistent, and disturbing fact is that Christian Europeans readily worship Jesus the Jew, but have denigrated and ostracized his Jewish people. Only recently is that discrimination abating.

    The expulsion of Jews from Palestine by the Romans after crushing their final rebellion created a Jewish diaspora outside Palestine in both the East and the West. In Christian Europe where they concentrated, they were denied ownership of land and subjected to periodic pogroms, whereas they were relatively secure in the East, especially in Muslim lands. As a result of this exclusion fromland ownership and farming, they were forced to enter financial, professional, administrative and trading occupations that did not require land. Ther lost access to land that was the primary source of wealth in the past enabled them … as an entire people … to focus on education, and the acquisition of professional skills that led to even greater wealth. In current parlance, we would say that they moved … as an entire people …. from the Agricultural Sector to te Service Sector.

    Even in the past, they had valuable skills. For example, when the Moors were defeated and Spain was unified as a Christian nation by the Monarchs Isabella & Ferdinand, the Muslims and Jews were largely killed or ejected as a part of their religious cleansing of the population of Spain. The Jews, in particular, as non-combatants in that conflict, were loaded onto a fleet of ships that sailed from port to port in the Mediterranean begging for permission to land … to no avail. However, the Muslim Turkish Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, recognized them as accomplished and talented people, and invited them to settle in Turkey granting them religious freedom and lucrative employment. Except for a few isolated incidents going back to the struggles of Prophet Mohammed with his own tribe in Arabia, and the recent conflict in Palestine associated with the creation of modern Israel, historical records show that Jews were well treated in Moslem lands.

    The prolonged discrimination Jews experienced living among Christian communities in Europe compelled them to keep much of their their assets liquid, ready to flee for their lives at any moment. They rightfully acquired an abiding fear of other people, and a yearning for a secure homeland of their own where they would not be persecuted for their Biblical, in my view wrongfully interpreted, associations. In desperation, driven by the Jewish Holocaust in Europe, the Jewish people created Israel in 1948 … the same year that Sri Lanka reawakened as a sovereign nation … as a refuge for all Jews in their historical place of origin: Palestine.

    Unfortunately, there were people already living there …. largely Muslim Palestinians although there was a small minority of Jews as well … who were wrongfully displaced in the process. Understandably, the native Moslem Palestinians did not want to lose their land to any other people, and fought back as they had during the Crusades. They were unsuccessful in their resistance to being ousted because of the support the Jews received from the Jewish diaspora, from Europeans feeling guilty about what they had collectively inflicted upon the Jews over centuries, and the Americans because of their guilty conscience about their failure to help the Jews who were being murdered wholesale by Hitler in concentration camps. The Muslims of the Middle East, themselves a Semitic people and close cousins of the Jews, had no part in this killing of Jews in Europe, but paid the price for the crimes of the Europeans against the Jews.

    This solution, aided and abetted by the Myopic West plying their own agendas then as they do now, without regard to the long term consequences of their actions to others, reminds me of the story of mythical Sri Lankan King “Kakille’ Rajjuruwo” who ordered the fat Moslem neighbor of the skinny goldsmith to be executed by the Royal tusker by being gored to death. A bricklayer who built the Royal wall crooked said he was distracted by the comely damsel making repeated trips to and fro. The damsel blamed the goldsmith making a necklace for her for making repeated errors. The goldsmith pleaded that although he was indeed guilty and the penalty was just, executing him would fracture the Royal tusker’s tusks because they would easily go through his skinny torso and hit the ground, whereas there was a very fat nicely rotund Muslim next door who was a perfect candidate that could be gored by the tusker without any injury to the valuable Royal elephant. So, he was!

    In the same way, the West assuaged its own guilt, not by granting the Jews a land of their own that was theirs to give, for example in Europe, but in Palestine without asking the inhabitants of that land. The British had offered Uganda to the Jews before that …. again without asking for permission from the natives of Uganda. I just happen to think that Wales in Britain, or the province of Alsace/Lorraine between France and Germany, would have been a perfect fit for compensating the Jews with land that actually belongs to people who tormented them. Don’t you?

    Today, there are many Jews who are human rights advocates, who while supporting Israel also criticize the policies of Israel in the occupied lands of Palestine that prevent a peaceful settlement there. There are also Jews who are equally vociferous in their drive to permanently annex the West Bank of Palestine, and whatever other adjoining Arab lands they can conquer, for Jews only. In the middle between these two warring groups is a large mass of Jews, Israelis included, who fully cognizant of their people’s history as an insecure minority in other lands, want to preserve the majority status of Jews in a safe and secure Israel, and want to somehow come to a settlement with their non-Jewish neighbors without expanding the existing borders of Israel. I hope that that silent majority of Jews will ultimately prevail.

    With regard to Sri Lanka, I see no evidence that Jews are attempting to undermine Sinhala Buddhists, but I do believe that various Christian missionary organizations including fanatical born-again Evangelical Christians on the one hand, and virulent Wahhabi Moslems on the other are both trying to change the religious demography of Sri Lanka. They should be stopped dead in their tracks by passing and enforcing laws against foreign missionary work in Sri Lanka, and the influx of foreign funds geared to that goal.

    If anything, Israel has sold us military equipment that no other Western country was willing to sell us in our existential struggle to defeat the LTTE and unify our Motherland into a place where all can live and prosper irrespective of community. Today, Israel is also employing Sri Lankans, giving them valuable training in advanced methods of agriculture and manufacturing technologies, and is generally a valuable ally for Sri Lanka, that understands the existential threat of terrorism to national survival as Sri Lanka understands it.

    It is true that Sri Lanka also has valuable allies in the Moslem world, among them countries such as Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Therefore, Sri Lanka will have to walk a fine line between both warring parties to avoid antagonizing either side. Sri Lanka should generally stay out of Middle East conflicts … because only the opposing parties can solve them … not Sri Lanka. At most, Sri Lanka should attempt to be an impartial friend by offering its good offices to defuse the conflict and bring peace and prosperity to both sides … but should take care not to violate the sensitivities of either side.

    We have ENOUGH problems of our own without taking on the BURDENS of others. NON-INTERFERENCE, MUTUAL-RESPECT and FRIENDSHIP should define our goals.

  18. Fran Diaz Says:

    We agree with Ananda-USA on all the main points he has raised here.

    Also, re the Jewish people and the death of Jesus Christ : There is new evidence to show that Jesus did NOT die on the cross, but was taken to the Kashmir area where he revived and was known as St Issa. We think Jewish people were persecuted because they were money lenders. Since Jesus broke up the money lenders stalls, some of the Jews in that time opposed him.
    The Jews are a remarkable people. They have suffered greatly due to persecutions and now deserve Israel. We wish that a peaceful solution can be found to the Palestine issue. The Sinhala Buddhists have nothing against the Jewish people.

  19. May182009 Says:

    Agree with Ananda.

    Jealousy against Jews is the main reason for racist attacks on them. No other ethnic group has been subjected to so many racist attacks than Jews. That is because Jews have been remarkable innovators.

    Taliban banned Polio drops and injection in Afghanistan and Pakistan because both were invented by Jews!

    This is the level of intellect these people have. But to be fair to them, at least they had the honesty to reject it than have it and blame the Jews.

    If not for exceptional help Israel extended to Sri Lanka, the war would not have ended. 17 Kfir jets, over 20 Deborah FACs, UAVs, training for STF, EPDP, etc. and military technology (Colombo Class Super Dvora 2000 FAC) are some of the help Israel extended to Sri Lanka as no other country ever did. We must be very grateful to them.

    Over 30% of Jews are Buddhists today and Buddhism is fast spreading among them which will increase Israel-Sri Lanka good relations.

    SL should ban the uncivilised DISGUSTING practice of one man marrying many women. That is only for animals not for humans.

    Jesus was a Jew not an Arab. If he was an Arab, Arabians would be Christians not Muslims. If he was an Arab, he should have had 38 wives with a 9 year old as 39th wife.

  25. jayt Says:

    but this uncivilised religion will help greatly to american, Canadian and European to have respect and civilised wives rather than having 10 or 20 prostitutes-girl friends in a week throughout their. if that was the case, sri lanka could saved thousand sinhalese children who were hatched to death by western prostitutes like Adale Balasighham who fake insulted Indian national clothes by wearing sari,
    today sinhalese society is completely destroyed by these tamil tigers loving, drug addicts western prostitutes spies influencing their clothing habit and drugs habit into singhalese society through tv programs which was inserted into sri lanka by bargain deals done by western prostitutes merchants after each tiger bombing in sl. these tigers arraigned these western prostitutes merchants into india too and introduced drug and rape culture into over there as well

    Where on earth did you dream that information from?

    Perhaps, would you be so kind to provide factual credible information on the very same as Ananda -USA requested?

  33. Nalliah Thayabharan Says:

    Dear Ananda & Marco
    Zionism was created by Theodor Herzel and others at the end of the 19th Century, and in that era it was commonplace to be colonialist, to be racist, to be super-nationalist, to adore the nation-state,so the idea of France for the French, Germany for the Germans, and then some state for the Zionists. This all formed the basis for Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism.

    Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism and Judaism are contrary to each other. Because Judaism is universal and humane, and Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism is exactly the opposite. It is very narrow, very nationalistic, racist, colonialist, and all this. There is no “National Judaism.” There is Zionism and there is Judaism, and they are completely different.

    Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. Because Judaism – a Reform Movement- that is highly, highly ethical. And so, you cannot connect Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism with “highly ethical.” You can only connect the words “aggressive,” “oppressive,” “stealing,” “robbing” with Zionism. But not “highly ethical.”

    The Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazarian Zionists (non-Jewish illuminati) hijacked our governments, currencies, big business, institutions, education, media and minds; got all of us in debt, then collapsed our economy.

    Greedy and ideological Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists contributed to the growth of the Third Reich via the so-called “Transfer Agreement” – a business arrangement to transfer German Zionists to Palestine. In return, German exports would be bought through Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist entities to ensure the economic growth and wealth of Palestine. Most significant is the success of the 18th Zionist Congress to go against the international boycott movement by suppressing the Revisionists and strong-arming them into abandoning their ideology.

    If the boycott had prevailed, Germany may not even exist today and the Holocaust would have never happened.

    The facts are clear that Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists made Hitler’s 3rd Reich possible and ultimately spawned the Zio-Fascist and terrorist State that Israel has now become.

    Israeli Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist leaders continue to indulge in the persecution of Jews by falsely claiming that Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism is a goal of Judaism. It’s time to make a clear distinction between Judaism and Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionism, also known as Zio-Fascism.

    Menaheim Begin, 6th Prime Minister of Israel said “Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.”

    Does this narrative sound familiar to you? Think Nazi.

    The Jewish people has been unique by its identity as a religious entity. Through the centuries its religious character had been a premise agreed upon by Jews and non-Jews alike. Jewish religious and traditional history bears no aspect of racism. Hence, one of non-Jewish origin is capable of being proselytized and attaining the same status as a born Jew. Conversely, one of Jewish birth who does not recognize his being bound to the Jewish Torah, is by Jewish law a heretic, and therefore forfeits his spiritual birthrights as a Jew.

    Through the many years that Jews resided in the Holy Land enjoyed tranquil and cordial relations with the non-Jewish population there.

    The Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist movement which was formed at the latter part of the last century, sought to endow the Jews with a nationalistic character which was heretofore strange to them. It sought to deprive them of their historically religious character and offered a nationalistic ideology and the possibility of establishing through political media, a Jewish national homeland.

    During the period of the British Mandate, the Balfour Declaration, which recognized the eventual possibility of founding a Jewish national homeland, in Palestine, was affirmed to be the British government. The Jewish Agency, who then was the Chief representative of Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist interests in the Holy Land, was entrusted with the issuance of visas to the Holy Land, thus resulting in an increased Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist immigration from various parts of the world, which ultimately succeeded in superceding in numbers, the veteran Orthodox dwellers.

    Orthodox Jewry all over the world and the Orthodox Community in the Holy Land in particular, immediately sensed in this stage of Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist success, the threat of grave danger for the religious future of Jews. The Arab inhabitants began to exhibit open hostility to their Jewish neighbors. The British government failed to distinguish between the Orthodox community, who for generations in habited the Holy Land, and the newly arrived Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist immigrants.

    With the acquisition by the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist nationalists of the power to organize communities in Palestine, they formed the Vaad Haleumi Leknesset Yisroel (National Jewish Council Committee). This committee ignored the rights of the Orthodox veteran dwellers who did not recognize this validity of Jewish nationality, and whose identification as Jews was solely with their loyalty to their religious heritage. The religious inhabitants, on the other hand, shuddered at the prospects of spiritual disintegration of World Jewry, with the new rise to power of the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist nationalists.

    The Orthodox inhabitants actively objected to being subject to the authority of the secularists. They appealed their cause to the League of Nations, who consequently granted them a “Right of exclusion” to the subjugation to the Vaad Haleumi, which rights provided that any Jew wishing not to be incorporated into the Vaad Haleumi, may remain lawfully independent if he so stated his wish in writing. Thousands of Jews did so.

    Such was the case until November 1948, when the United Nations finally sanctioned the establishment of a Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist State. Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists’ success in finally realizing their goal was due in great measure to their having misled the world into viewing the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist cause as the Jewish cause. The formation of the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist state resulted in the automatic deprivation of the autonomy heretofore possessed by the Orthodox inhabitants of the Holy Land.

    The origins of the UN can be found in the financing of the same Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist banking families, the Rothschilds, Schiffs, Warbugs, Lazards and Oppenheimers, who have financed strife on this earth for centuries. The UN was created to justify the existence of the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist entity as a legitimate nation-state, to put a shroud on its hideous supremacist character; this rings true with the fact that the Security Council never even ratified the resolution which proposed the legitimacy of a Jewish ‘state’ in Palestine. Despite this, and despite the illegal Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist colonization of Palestine financed by the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist Rothschild family since the 1880s and the horrible Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist atrocities of the Nakba in 1948, still the UN recognized this fabricated regime, still gave it a name and a seat. Why? Because its godfathers, the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist bankers, wanted it that way. The UN is a tool of international Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist power.

    The same UN that introduced Resolution 661 to Iraq, the treacherous ‘sanctions resolution,’ which crippled Iraq, prepared it for the Zionist invasion of 2003 and murdered over 2 million people by starvation including 800,000 Iraqi children. The same UN that paved the way for the mutilation of Libya, in which at least 100,000 have been mass murdered by NATO and its Israeli-advised rebel thugs. The same UN that now seeks to turn Syria into another Iraq or Libya.

    The Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists grasped in the acquisition of their new powers, the opportunity to openly disassociate themselves from any identification with Jews as a religion. They systematically began to orient the minds of their generations according to the tenets of Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist nationalism. Through the Ministry of Religions they employed part of the Rabbinate to assist them in their aims.

    The religious Jews who by virtue of their faith, clearly contradicted Zionist nationalism, and who had lived peacefully with their Arab neighbors for generations, became unwillingly identified with the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist cause and their struggle with the Arabs. They requested the United Nations that Jerusalem be designated as a defacto international city. They appealed to the diplocatic corps assigned to Jerusalem – but to no avail. They were hence confronted with the choice of either becoming a part of the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist State, which diametrically opposed the interests of Jews as a religion, or abandoning the land of which their forefathers were the first Jewish settlers.

    Judaism in its correct form is not a religion of hate any more than are Christianity, Islam or Buddhism. Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists however, is a secular, geopolitical system of hate…it is NOT a religion. It is a power cult (hiding behind the Jewish faith) of death, greed, lying, avarice and self-aggrandizement which views with contempt and derision all who do not subscribe or submit to its dogma.

    Today’s Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists are largely the descendants of the hideous butchers who slaughtered over 30 million Russians. These are the descendants of the murderous thugs who murdered 1.5 million Armenians and do not want to ‘talk about it’. When US Congress voted to recognize the Armenian genocide, the AIPAC and ADL Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist gangsters swung into action and forced the cancellations of the Resolution. And the US wonders why Armenia does not trust Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists and US at all.

    These are the conniving, lying, genocidal beasts who wanted Iraq stomped to death by US and UK so Iraqis could not benefit from their own oil and natural gas wealth.

    These are the same demented nuclear terrorists in control of 600 thermonuclear WMD who are now trying to force a war with Iran…even though Russia is already on the record saying that ANY attack on Iran will be viewed as an attack on Russian interests.

    Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists are always chattering about ‘peace’ but, in reality, it is the LAST thing they want. Peace is not profitable and is simply not going to pave the way for Zionism to dominate the planet. However, divide and conquer just might. This is even all the more mind-boggling to most clueless Americans who cannot understand how a minority group of Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists within the world’s total Jewish population of about 15 million can have come to control so much of the Western world.

    Long ago, there was a Medieval Kingdom of Khazaria, 652-1016 CE that included part of modern day Russia, Ukraine, and a sliver of what is now Kazakhstan. This area was somewhat interesting in history because when considering the choice of Islam, or Christianity or Judaism the leaders of this ’empire’ decided to declare themselves Jewish. That was a very odd choice in an area of the world which was predominately Islam and Christian.

    The Khazaria Empire could not extend any further south because the Tatars and Turkmen proved to be about as obstinate as the Afghans have been throughout history.

    The Khazarian Illuminati Ashkenazi Zionists are NOT descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel and their world view and lack of truly, pious spiritual Judaism have created conflict within that religion ever since.

    To a great extent, these are our current day Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists (including Neocons, of course) who have formed a world power banking, extortion cult of war and death that has little or nothing to do with being devout adherents of Judaism. These are the gangsters who think nothing of breaking the law, lying (Kol Nidre), stealing, graft, corruption, assassination, blackmail, extortion or destroying tens of millions of people to get their way.

    Throughout the past century, they have done just that in directly and indirectly liquidating over 100 million people. These soul- less ‘reptilian’ killers obey only the Talmud, not the laws of the lands they live in. This very behavior and ‘ethics’ appear, in fact, in the Talmud as Rabbinical teaching. Most pious Jews of good heart and conscience who follow the Torah know that such is not the way to achieve civilized, enlightened society.

    This is, in part, one of the reasons “Jew haters” have often been unable to differentiate between the truly religious descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel (the ones the Old Testament of the Bible is about) and these Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionist squatters and interlopers who came from Central Asia and have, for the most part, taken over their religion and turned it into an evil club of power manipulation, greed, money, war, death and destruction.

    Many true Torah Jews are highly-offended at the atrocities these Talmudic Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists have inflicted on mankind. From the huge massacre of millions of Russians, to the mass starvation holocaust of 30 million Ukrainians, to the creation of Nazism/fascism of World War II, to the mass slaughter of million Armenians, and to the current day blood-lust genocide of Iraq. These Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists have made it abundantly clear, to the tune of over 100 million dead, that they have nothing but murderous contempt of Christians and Muslims.

    The problem is not ‘the Jews’…the problem is the Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists who are THE power behind Zionist Israel, the UK and US.

    The first recorded instance of an American being converted to Buddhism on American soil occurred at the 1893 exposition on world religions and the convert had been a Jew named Charles Strauss. He declared himself a Buddhist at a public lecture that followed the World Conference on Religions in 1893. Strauss later became an author and leading expositor of Buddhism in the West. After World War II, there was increasing interest in Buddhism, associated with the Beat generation. Zen was the most important influence at that time. A new wave of Jews involved with Buddhism came in the late 1960s. Prominent teachers included Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg, who founded the Insight Meditation Society and learned vipassana meditation primarily through Thai teachers.

    Some Jewish Buddhists claim that the two religions are compatible, while other Jews believe this represents a serious adulteration of both traditions. Buddhist-influenced rabbis have also existed, such as the late Alan Lew, a Conservative rabbi (and not a Jewish Buddhist) in San Francisco. A number of Jewish Buddhists have found a religious home in the inter-spiritual community of Unitarian Universalism, where they lead Sanghas (Buddhist fellowships).

    According to the Ten Commandments and classical Jewish law, known as Halacha, it is forbidden for any Jew to worship any deity other than the way God is worshipped in Judaism – specifically by bowing, offering incense, sacrifices and/or poured libations. It is likewise forbidden to join or serve in another religion because doing so would render such an individual an apostate or an idol worshipper. Since most Buddhists do not consider the Buddha to have been a “god”, Jewish Buddhists do not consider Buddhist practice to be “worship”. In addition, many Buddhists (particularly Theravada Buddhists) do not “worship” the Buddha but instead “revere” and “express gratitude” for the Buddha’s (and all buddhas’) accomplishment and compassionate teaching (that is, discovering and teaching the Dharma so others might be released from suffering and achieve Nirvana). In Mahayana Buddhism (the dominant form of Buddhism in the world today), the Trikaya (3 bodies) Doctrine, and praying to Buddha as savior in Shin/Pure Land Buddhism significantly blurs the issue for Jews of whether Buddhism is a religion and whether Buddha is considered a God.

    A number of Buddhist books, drawing only on surveys of East and West Coast Buddhist communities, concluded that roughly one third of of all Western-born Buddhists were born Jewish. More accurate statistics from the 2009 Pew Forum demographic survey shows that the number is no more than six percent around one-hundred and ten thousand people – and probably significantly less.

    The influence of Buddhism is profoundly changing what it means to worship at synagogue. Rabbi Allen Lew explains that in his synagogue he leads his followers in meditation before prayer services four times a week. He believes that Buddhist practices can open spiritual doors to enhance Jewish tradition.

    Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, who considered himself a non-theistic Jew, found solace in Eastern religion. A leader in the counterculture movement, Ginsberg explored Buddhist meditation and belief and expressed his spiritual discontent in his poetry. “Jerusalems hated walls, I couldn’t get over the holy side and weep where I was supposed to by history,” he wrote cynically about his trip to Israel in the poem “Angkor Wat”, continuing, “Returning home at last, years later as prophesied, is this the way I’m supposed to feel?”

    Judaism and Buddhism are not complementary ideologies that always fit snugly inside one another. The film points to the fact that the ancient traditions have profound, unavoidable differences. For one thing, most Jews believe in one God, and Buddhists believe in no God.

    The film shows an archival television interview of Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion and his old friend, the Buddhist former Prime Minister of Burma as they discuss religion. Before they begin, the Prime Minister from Burma blurts out, “How is your wife? How is Mrs. Ben-Gurion?” His question is full of genuine interest and sets the tone of their debate, what seems to be the understanding that their religious differences are trumped by something more important—their human connection.

    Notable Jewish Buddhists include Leonard Cohen, Lama Surya Das, Robert Downey, Heather Paige Kent, Doug Fieger, Allen Ginsberg, Tetsugen Bernard Glassman, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Jack Kornfield, Jeremy Piven, Steven Seagal, Garry Shandling, Adam Yauch, Thubten Chodron, Zoketsu Norman Fischer,,Bhikkhu Bodhi, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sylvia Boorstein, Helen Tworkov, Bernard Glassman, Charles Prebish, Rick Fields, Daniel Goldman, Robert Thurman & Tara Brach

    This completes answering LankaWeb Zionist LorenZion. ( Remeber Z for Zion. There is no “Z” in Sinhala opr Tamil, even though recently some TamiZ Nadu idoits started promoting “Z” in place of “L”, convince that only their race knew how to pronounce “L” in Tamil way – pur stupidity.)

    This inhuman promoter of hatred in the web in nothing but a born again “Illuminati Ashkenazi Khazar Zionists “.

    I appeal all readers of Lanka Web should never approve murderous racist slogans pretending to be a Sinhala protectors.
    We Sinhala Buddhist should not be copying unncessary Zionist superiority complex and cruelness, but remember
    one become great only by behaviour not by birth. We do not need Zionist ideas by only Buddhism to protect out mother land.

    May182009: Well, I did some research on “30% of Jews are Buddhists” statement for my own edification, and I found this:

    “BOB ABERNETHY: Here’s another statistic, not as scientific, but it intrigued us. It seems as many as one third of American Buddhists are Jews. Some of you noticed this connection as well. Last fall, after our stories on American Buddhism were aired, several people called asking about these ties between Jews and Buddhism. So what is it about Buddhism that attracts so many Jews? And what does this mean for Judaism? We asked our chief correspondent, Maureen Bunyan, to find out.”

    at PBS.org: Religion and Ethics Weekly, Feb, 27, 1998.

    That is not the same as “30% of Jews are Buddhists”, but that is all I could find now. I will continue my search”

  43. May182009 Says:

    Dear Ananda,

    I quoted it from Oscar-nominated film Jews and Buddhism: Belief Amended, Faith Revealed.

    They are called JuBu (or JewBu) or BuJu.

    The 30% (Jews living outside Israel) has been challenged but everyone agrees this is a growing and irreversible trend.

    Biggest impediment to a larger scale integration is cultural matters (not so much the philosophy) of each group. But this powerful movement will surely overcome this.

    Further reading in the Jewish Channel website.

    A counter argument has been put by Rabbi Daniel Freitag who harps on the differences and plays down similarities. However, his arguments failed to attract mainstream endorsement.

    There have been a few Jewish Sri Lankan Buddhist monks including Venerable Nyanaponika Thero who co-founded the Buddhist Publication Society. The completion of the book of Torah in Sri Lanka took place in 2010 with the participation of another Jewish Sri Lankan Buddhist monk (among others).

    It is the wish of all peace loving Sri Lankans, Jewish Sinhala and Jewsih Buddhist relations to grow from strength to strength. And they are.

  44. Ananda-USA Says:

    Nalliah Thayabharan: Thank you for the detailed reply.

    I know all about the Zionist movement that was central to the creation of Israel. The Ashkenazi were a Yiddish speaking branch of Jews primarily resident in Germany and Eastern Europe who were nearly wiped out by the Nazis. They indeed were prime movers in the Zionist movement and the creation of Israel.

    But, why do you refer to them as Illuminati? That is a rather negative term associated with a secret conspiratorial society dedicated to world domination and establishing a new world order. You may recall that the Illuminati were also featured in the movie “The Da Vinci Code” about Crusader Knights Templar and an alleged marriage of Christ. What do any of these things have to do with the Jewish Zionist movement?

    BTW, I found most of your comments on Buddhist Jews word-for-word at other websites, including the Wikipedia. It would also be helpful if you cite the original sources and link your text to them as is customary.

    However, your detailed post didn’t answer my specific question regarding “30% of Jews are Buddhists” statement of blogger May182009. I am still looking to confirm that.

    GOVERNMENT MINISTER WHO TELLs innocent sinhalese “we are fighting american and British selling out sri lanka on the daily basis to western tiger supporters being in fear of war crime charges. Are they real war heroes?

    On other hand, these ministers copied down american rape culture and involved raping ladies. Instead raping, why not introduce and adopt part of Islamic culture and marry how many wives you want and make respectful life
    Of course, there are many men in Islam who abuse that clause but better than american culture which has become a world biggest rape & murder kingdom.
    True fact is non Islamic cultures are Hippocratic. look what happen on daily in Sl and india. Ladies are raped which is recent introductory of american and culture by western tiger supporters.
    So why not introduce that many wives clause and it is not historically islamic. every culture practised it including sinhalese before 1950s.
    Today jews practice it american and European practised it. Hindus practice it

    President Clinton secretly love it.

    Jayt,

    Beauty is only skin deep. And you can’t measure a person from the clothes she wears. If anyone marries an already married man to other women, there is no difference between them and common prostitutes; isn’t it? Please answer honestly.

    I don’t intend any disrespect for anyone. I only want to point out the obvious.

  47. Nalliah Thayabharan Says:

    Lorenzo Aiya,
    There is a BIG difference between RACE and RELIGION

    Jews as members of a racial group and Talmud portrays the Jews as God’s Master RACE and depicts all other RACES as trash.

    “If Israel had not come into existence after World War II than I am certain the Jewish RACE wouldn’t have survived.”
    – Benjamin Netanyahu
    Daily Pilot, Newport Beach/Costa Mesa, Feb. 28, 2000, front page

    “There could have been peace between the Arabs and the Israelis had it not been for the bigoted, Nazi-like RACIAL views of Israeli’s Prime Minister Menachem Begin who believed the Jews were a Master RACE, a holy people superior to Egyptians and Arabs. ”
    – President Jimmy Carter in his memoirs of his years in the White House

    “Israeli laws harshly prohibit people of non-Jewish RACES from immigrating to Israel. The Jews are determined to keep their RACE “pure” and unblemished, just as the Nazis sought for the Aryans.”
    – Ze’ev Chafeto, Editor – The Jerusalem Report magazine

    “Jews are different, and the differences are not just skin deep. Jews exhibit a distinctive genetic signature.”
    – Prof Harry Ostrer of Albert Einstein College of Medicine – New York in his book “Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People”

    Ananda!
    I like to provide links of other websites here – but if it won’t be posted right away by Lanka Web due to moderation.

  48. Lorenzo Says:

    NT,

    Those are horrible statements supposedly made by a handful of people with no relation to reality.

    They DON’T prove anything!!

    There are more Tamil racists (and Tamil racist political parties) than any other in the world.

  49. Lorenzo Says:

    Jewish people cannot belong to a special race. They are as mixed as others. How stupid to believe in racial pureness!

    Didn’t some popular Tamil illegal immigrant call all others (other than Tamils) mongrels in 1939 leading to riots?

    He belongs to the list of these racists (if the statements are true).

    NT, give links to what you copy and paste so we know the credibility and do further research.
