Everyone wants that little extra edge as preparatons for the Olympiad in London approach. Apparently Western athletes have been literally blazing a trail in secret training in Iran leaving in their wake parched trails. An Iranian vice president has suggested that the West is responsible for the recent droughts in southern Iran. Seyed Hassan Mousavi, the head of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO), claimed sneaking suspicions that Western powers are being behind the chronic episodes of drought in Iran’s south and blamed it on global imperialism.
(see link at end )…Iran officials wrote to the IOC complaining that the 2012 logo resembles the word “zion.” This is something that has been noticed by some since the logo was first revealed, but it has not been covered in the mainstream media until now. Iran is threatening to boycott the Olympic games in protest….This isn’t the first time the word has appeared in an Olympic logo. “Zion” can also be seen in the Beijing 2008 logo.
Munich Massacre Memorial. Tel-Aviv. Dawkins:These kosher investigators run a telephone hot-line on which up-to-the-minute red-alerts of suspicion are recorded against chocolate bars and cod-liver oil. The rabbi sighs that the green-inspired trend away from artificial colors and flavors “makes life miserable in the kosher field because you have to follow all these things back.” When the interviewer asks him why he bothers with this obviously pointless exercise, he makes it very clear that the point is precisely that there is no point:
That most of the Kashrut laws are divine ordinances without reason given is 100 per cent the point. It is very easy not to murder people. Very easy. It is a little bit harder not to steal because one is tempted occasionally. So that is no great proof that I believe in God or am fulfilling His will. But, if He tells me not to have a cup of coffee with milk in it with my mincemeat and peaces at lunchtime, that is a test. The only reason I am doing that is because I have been told to so do. It is something difficult. Read More:http://rational-buddhism.blogspot.ca/2012/01/metameme.html
There’s also the “All Seeing Eye” London 2012 mascots. Notice in the video below, the freemasonic checkerboard pattern the children walk over with the mascots, and the Nazi style salute the children are made to do….Read More:http://leaksource.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/iran-complains-olympic-2012-logo-spells-zion/
Hilary Clinton has acknowledged she is ready to pass the baton on the relay as Secretary of Foreign Affairs. After repeatedly pulling up lame, she left Israel with the peace process in the Lost Baggage lane at Ben-Gurion airport. She did say “the world is moving fast” and certainly in her tenure we have seen improved times for Al-Qaeda in the cross-country training and Jihad jumping moving into those new Muslim Brotherhood nations.
—He may also feel hostile towards other modes of thought that are potentially inimical to his faith, such as the method of scientific reason which may function rather like a piece of anti-viral software.
The threat to kill the distinguished novelist Salman Rushdie is only the latest in a long line of sad examples. On the very day that I wrote this, the Japanese translator of The Satanic Verses was found murdered, a week after a near-fatal attack on the Italian translator of the same book. By the way, the apparently opposite symptom of “sympathy” for Muslim “hurt,” voiced by the Archbishop of Canterbury and other Christian leaders (verging, in the case of the Vatican, on outright criminal complicity) is, of course, a manifestation of the symptom we discussed earlier: the delusion that faith, however obnoxious its results, has to be respected simply because it is faith.

Israeli P.M. Netanyahu has stuck more to the field events. And if there is anything more boring than watching track, its field. Mainly shot-put and arm twisting and the gold medal for simply sitting on opponents with his keegster. Israel is working on having its first ultra-orhtodox athlete and based on the speed of the Haredim’s draft dodging maneuvers and verbal gymnastics there could be some surprises in London. Even the great Maimonides has had his “Athletes guide for the perplexed” dusted off, in which he wrote, that one is to “exercise and exert oneself greatly… Thus those who accomplish acts of exercising their body in the wish to be healthy, engaging in ball games, wrestling, boxing and suspension of breathing . . . are in the opinion of the ignorant engaged in frivolous actions, whereas they are not frivolous according to the Sages.” The Israelis are seeing a possible advantage in Kabbalistic competition. Except on Saturday.
—Pope Benedict XVI enjoyed Beethoven conducted by Daniel Barenboim and performed by the West-Eastern Divan, his orchestra of musicians from Israel and Arab countries “who hope to further the cause of peace”. In a speech, the Pope said “music unites people beyond every division”.
The Catholic Church, which today is busy in fighting the Jewish and free existence of the State of Israel, could not have chosen a better performer than this unfeeling and egocentric “maestro”, the cosmopolitan Jew and self proclaimed citizen of the world.
A week before his performance in Rome, Barenboim released an interview to Der Spiegel magazine, in which he attacked “the politicization of the remembrance of the Holocaust in Israel”, along with “the alliance of the right and the Orthodox Jews that rules Israel today” and “Israel’s strong lobby in Washington”.
He not only dismissed the Arab hatred for Israel (“the Palestinians weren’t primarily anti-Semitic. They just didn’t accept their expulsion”),…
It’s just inhuman”….
His orchestra was co-founded by the late Palestinian intellectual Edward Said, the Intifada ideologue who was embarrassingly caught by the camera hurling stones at IDF soldiers on the Lebanese border after the Israeli withdrawal and who has made a name for himself…Read More:http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11917#.UAYPq_Vb76M image:http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-daniel-barenboim-conducts-israeliarab-orchestra-for-pope-20120711,0,6189260.story
Finally, there has been some talk of joint Saudi-Israeli exercises to fend off the challenge from Iran. Presumably this will taped and aired on a reality television series in which Al-Jazeera to pexecutives will be the olympic meals food tester and camel hoof cleaner . A combo-undercover boss and spike sharpener.
ADDENDUM:
( see link at end) …An Olympics official admitted that Muslim countries blocked the “One-Minute of Silence” campaign to honor the 11 murdered Israeli athletes, one of the widows said.
Ankie Spitzer, whose husband Andre was one of the athletes massacred in the Munich Games n 1972, told the European Jewish Press that Jacques Rogge, president of the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, told her that his “hands were tied” by the admission of 46 Arab and Muslim members to the International Olympic Committee.
She replied, “My husband’s hands were tied, not yours.”…
Not sure if this has been photo-shopped or not. Image link is at end. Was Coca-Cola selling kosher coke in Germany as well? mmmm—-Munich was not as planned an operation as has often been maintained. This was not planned months in advance, as Abu Iyad maintained in his account written with Eric Rouleau, My Home, My Land. Abu Iyad for years exaggerated the claims about the “carefully planned” Munich operation, and PLO media at the time lied about PLO gunmen throwing grenades into the helicopters, so as to make the last shootout more of a fight that it actually was.
Massacred Palestinians who were being bombed by Israeli fighter jets in their refugee camps demanded heroes and heroism, and the PLO had to give them some, even if they were not legitimate heroes. The German police at the time were going to take the PLO out, no matter what, and no matter how much the Germans endangered the lives of the hostages, and they presumably had Israeli consent. An Arab League diplomat revealed this recently when he broke his silence in an interview on Ziyarah Khassah on Al-Jazeera. He should know: he was the negotiator with the Palestinian guerillas in Munich. —Read More:http://www.revisionisthistory.org/steinsaltz.html image:http://leaksource.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/olympic-symbols-originated-from-hitlers-nazi-propaganda/
…The widow has been conducting an uphill battle to convince the International Olympics Committee to remember the slain athletes with one minute of silence before the opening of the Games in London next week. It never has done so since the murders 40 years ago….
Spitzer gained support for her effort from several countries, including the United States, Britain, Australia, Belgium and Germany. A letter appealing for the minute of silence was signed by 140 Italian legislators, to no avail.
Spitzer called the Olympics “a corrupt organization, led by greed rather than the Olympic spirit.” She added, “The IOC’s refusal is pure discrimination – greed and anti-Semitism.” Read More:http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157926#.UAYWB_Vb76M
IDF head Benny Gantz at the Cave of the Patriarchs.Image: INN —Open source military reports indicate that Israel and Saudi Arabia are forming an alliance against Iran, after the leadership in both countries had become estranged from Obama White House.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and King Abdullah’s mistrust of President Barack Hussein Obama as a credible and reliable ally is quixotically understandable.
Following Obama’s humiliation of Egypt’s long-time ally President Hosni Mubarak, calling for him to step down in the face of the student protests; the Saudis also became upset at the US apparent refusal to help fight off Bahraini uprisings, incited and well coordinated by Shiite Iran.
To significantly preserve their survival and political independence, Israel and Saudi Arabia needs strategic cooperation to succeed against the Iranian threat. But for now, America’s waning influence in the Greater Middle East is superseded by the urgency of finding common ground between allies and enemies.
For the sake of an important intellectual argument, conventional wisdom dictates that an Israel-Saudi alliance is good in theory but from strategic standpoint, a secret alliance would be more practical.—Read More:http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/israel-saudi-alliance-finding-common-ground-2/
