Orthodox Priest Kidnapped and Executed by US-NATO Sponsored Rebels
by Agenzia Fides (Vatican News)
Global Research
October 25, 2012
Damascus (Agenzia Fides) – The body of the greek orthodox priest Fr. Fadi Jamil Haddad, pastor of the church of St. Elias in Qatana, was found today in the Jaramana neighborhood (north of Damascus) not far from the place where he was kidnapped, on October 19, by unidentified armed group (see Fides 24/10/2012). This was confirmed to Fides by Fr. Haddad’s greek-orthodox confrere, who asked for anonymity. “His body was horribly tortured and his eyes gouged out,” he told Fides. “It is a purely terrorist act. Fr. Haddad is a martyr of our church. ”
With regards to the responsibilities of the terrible act there is an ongoing rebound of responsibilities between the opposition forces and government authorities, that accuse the armed gangs of armed rebellion in the army. According to Fides sources, the kidnappers had asked the priest’s family and his church a ransom of 50 million Syrian pounds (over 550 thousand euro). It was, however, impossible to find the money and meet this exorbitant demand. A source of Fides condemns “the terrible practice, present for months in this dirty war, of kidnapping and then killing innocent civilians.”
Among the various Christian communities in Syria, the greek orthodox is the largest (with about 500 thousand faithful) and is concentrated mainly in the western part of the country and in Damascus.

Psyops 101: An introduction to psychological operations [video]
BoilingFrogsPost.com
October 23, 2012
Psyops, or psychological operations, is a term used to describe the techniques of psychological manipulation used in warfare. These operations are used to deceive, confuse, disrupt and demoralize the enemy, with an aim toward weakening enemy resistance or even causing enemy forces to surrender and enemy populations to capitulate.
As the flip-side to the ancient wisdom that knowledge is key to all successful warfare strategies, the art of deliberately sewing deception has been understood and practiced for thousands of years.

Obama Benghazi Massacre Cover-up BREAKING Mainstream
CounterPsyOps
October 25, 2012
After weeks of lying and repeated deflection, it now appears the Main Stream media is finally poised to demand answers from an Obama administration that literally watched and did NOTHING as an American ambassador and three others were killed during a terrorist attack against the Benghazi consulate on the anniversary of September 11th, 2001.
Senate Intel vice chair: We’ve been demanding these e-mails since the Benghazi attack
Emails detail unfolding Benghazi attack on Sept. 11
With the growing proof now coming from mulitiple media sources, look back on Barack Obama acting defiant regarding the possibility of anyone questioning his response to the Benghazi Massacre – and then ask yourself if a man so easily lies about the most sacred duty of a President of the United States, what more is he willing to lie about? What more is he willing to do to try and secure a second term?
Barack Obama DID mislead. He DID lie. He IS playing politics with the death of four Americans. Among the most disgusting public displays of any American president. Utterly deplorable.

The real Benghazi scandal
By MUNROE JONES, Swannanoa, N.C. for The Washington Times
Much has been made by the conservative media of the Obama administration’s changing explanation of what really happened at our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last month, but the real scandal is what happened before the attack (“The real reason behind Benghazigate,” Commentary, Tuesday).
Since the U.S. support for Libyan revolution began last year, Libya has been a dangerous place, full of radical Islamists and leftover heavy weapons like machine guns, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades. To make its involvement in Libya seem successful, the Obama administration has pursued a policy of “normalization” of relations with Libya. This has meant scaling down the U.S. security forces in and around the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Libya, and turning much of the security for the ambassador and his staff there over to the Libyans.
In September, we saw the results of this naive, incompetent and politically motivated policy decision. The U.S. security forces that had been in Libya, a 16-man team of ex-Navy SEALs and Green Berets assigned to protect the ambassador and his staff, was pulled out in August, just a month before the attacks. This was done over the protests of the leader of the team, the State Department regional security director and Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens himself, who asked to keep the security team for at least one more month. On the day he died, Stevens had reiterated to Washington the danger and volatility of the Libya situation.
Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty paid the ultimate price for President Obama’s flawed worldview and inept policies.
Child trafficking, a rising concern in France [video]
PressTV
October 24, 2012
Child trafficking is a rising concern; so much so that NGOs are launching a Europe wide awareness campaign.
Various estimates show 15000 children and adults are trafficked in and out of France every year. A vast majority of them do not register complaints after they are sold into forced labour and prostitution.
According to various NGOs at this conference, the other part of the problem lies with European travelers who visit other countries, be it for business or for holidays. The campaign aims to hit viewers mainly in Europe which generates most of the clients.
The biggest concern: big international sport events in Brazil which will hold the Confederation Cup in 2013, the Football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016 expecting a high number of rich tourists from Europe.

NO WAR ON IRAN!
HANDS OFF SYRIA!
WAR CRIMINALS – OUT OF HALIFAX!
CANADA OUT OF NATO!
DISMANTLE NATO!
NO HARBOUR FOR WAR!
Established 4 years ago the Halifax International Security Forum, based in Washington, D.C., will take place Nov. 16-18 at the Westin hotel.
Warmongers from more than 40 countries will join Peter MacKay and some 300 others at the Forum “to learn from each other, share opinions, generate new ideas, and put them into action.”
This is all looked at from the perspective that as the world’s sole superpower, the U.S. is free to dictate to the peoples of the world as it pleases.
It is unacceptable that Halifax, or any Canadian city, be used as a venue to plan further crimes against the peace and the peoples of the world. Bring your banners and placards, bring your music and statements, and most of all bring your friends to oppose this war conference.
A world conflagration looms. Only through conscious and systematic organization can the people stop the warmongers.
HANDS OFF SYRIA! HANDS OFF IRAN!

[Potent News Editor’s note: Again, while these events are being organized in part by Marxists, I do not condone Marxism and I merely oppose wars of aggression waged against innocent people anywhere. The issue is that imperialism/domination has been disguised as a humanitarian effort and people just keep eating up propaganda that is urging them to support the slaughter of other countries in the name of honour and justice.
I can’t deny that the NSPIRG logo reminds me of the OTPOR logo and (while that could be a coincidence) it is noteworthy that OTPOR/CANVAS has been one of the main culprits involved in various US-backed regime change operations (serving as controlled-opposition) so I’ll be keeping a close eye on NSPIRG in order to maintain a healthy level of skepticism…
That said, Canada’s foreign policy threatens to play a significant role in igniting a 3rd World War. That is something I think few people on this planet would actually want when all is said and done. It seems like a big subject but to me it’s just common sense. You simply can’t help people by bombing them. That is the opposite of help. Bombs cause destruction. They don’t transform into bananas on the way down or anything like that. They explode and inflict widespread carnage ending many innocent people’s lives. Bullets don’t turn into fries before they hit a person. They maintain their metallic structure and blood gets spilled. If you value the sovereignty of other countries, please join us in asking difficult questions, raising awareness and challenging the orthodox narrative that we are constantly force-fed by our corrupt mainstream media.]
