Assad didn’t just give away the Golan Heights, they were taken by force before he was 1 and a half years old. Syria did re-take 30% of the Golan Heights in Yom Kippur and that was under the direction of Assad’s father his 3 year in office. And Again the UK France and America all backed Israel. The annexing was in 1981 many other things happening those years like the Iran Iraq War the post Iranian revolution, Reagan /Bush Sr in the White House etc Assad became president in 2000 WAY after these problems like Golan had been established.. more http://original.antiwar.com/justin/20…
Think fighting Assad can be anti-Israel too just cause you want it to be? You’re a pawn you’re following Israel policy papers which even stated that they could get a bunch of you pawns to act exactly how you’re acting.
Christof Lehmann (nsnbc),- As more fatalities and thousands of injured are reported, the violent police crack-down on protesters throughout Turkey continues. After the arrest of 600 military officers and dozens of civilians in the Ergenkonen espionage case, described by critics of the AKP and Erdogan administration as coup d’état, the militarization of Turkey´s police forces, and the entrance of thousands of terrorists and shiploads of weapons into Turkey since the beginning of the proxy-war against Syria in 2011, Turkey risks descending into a civil war.
Fatalities have been reported, since the onset of the violent police crack-down on protesters in Istanbul on Friday morning caused 200.000 in more than 35 cities to mobilize on Friday evening, and mass protests and violent clashes erupted. Yesterday eyewitnesses from Istanbul reported of several fatalities and at least 1.700 injured.

Today, as the protests are in their fifth day, a second fatality could be positively confirmed and identified while latest casualty reports mention several thousand of injured. The figures are vague, because many of the injured are treated in makeshift emergency facilities as protesters fear arrest if they are seeking medical attention at hospitals, and as police and clashes often prevent emergency evacuations. Since Sunday the police has begun literal man-hunts for protesters in bars, restaurants and shops. Arrests are reported to be extraordinarily brutal and some 1.700, most likely more are under arrest.
The Bar Association of Istanbul´s lawyers has held a meeting and prepares to defend the many detainees.
On Monday the Turkish Medical Doctors Union confirmed the death of 20-year-old Mehmed Ayvalitas, who was hit by a car on Sunday, when a civilian car drove into a crowd of protesters.
According to the Foreign Secretary of the Workers´Party – Turkey two persons were seriously injured in the incident and transported to the hospital immediately afterwards. So far, there are no reports available about the identity or the condition of the other victim.
The Turkish Union of Medical Doctors has confirmed the death of the 22-year-old Abdullah Cömert who died in the city of Antakya in Hatay province near the Syrian border. Turkish media report that Cömert died after being shot by unidentified gunmen. According to reports on social media however, Cömert was shot by police forces. Cömert was, according to BBC reports a member of the Republican Peoples´Party, which is in opposition to the AKP (Muslim Brotherhood) led government of Prime Minister Erdogan.
According to casualty figures published by the Turkish Medical Association 3.195 people have sustained injuries during the protests so far. 26 of the injured are in critical condition. Because many are treated in makeshift medical facilities and the “fog of war” however, the actual number of casualties could be significantly higher, and it is probable that there have been more death than have been reported so far.
The majority of injured are reported from Istanbul, although the protests have spread to Ankara, Izmir, Adana, Antakya and many other cities. On Monday protests were reported from 48 cities.
Militarization of Turkey´s Police after AKP / Erdogan Came to Power and after Ergenkonen Arrests.
After the AKP (Muslim Brotherhood) -led government of R. Tayyip Erdogan came to power, the Turkish police forces have undergone a militarization process. The militarization process is according to some analysts a security measure implemented by the Erdogan administration, to prepare the country against the eventual repercussions of the Ergenkonen Case arrests.
The Ergenkonen case is one of the most contentious issues in Turkish domestic politics. 300 military officers were arrested under espionage charges. 300 more officers were arrested under minor espionage charges, along with dozens of opposition members. Among the many arrested and imprisoned opposition members is the Chairman of the Workers´Party – Turkey, Dr. Dogun Perencek.
Many opposition members describe the Ergenkonen arrests as a de facto coup d’état by the AKP / Muslim Brotherhood. The Turkish military has traditionally been one of the primary guarantors for protecting the secular constitution and Turkey´s integrity as a secular, democratic republic based on Kemalist principles.
According to Turkish media reports, Turkey has over the past 12 years imported USD 21 million worth of pepper spray, predominantly from the USA and Brazil. In total, the Turkish newspaper Sozcu reports, Turkey has imported 62 tons of tear gas and pepper spray between 2000 and 2012.
Police forces, who are cracking down on Turkish protesters are dressed in military style riot gear. The protests and the police crack-down are the largest and most violent the Turkish people have witnessed for decades.
The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party Devlet Bahceli, along with all other opposition leaders strongly condemns the excessive use of police force. Bahceli, a member of parliament, stated: “It is true that the ruling party AKP has established gas chambers similar to the Nazis, it is true that the AKP pokes its nose into everybody´s private lives”.
The United Nations Human Rights Office has urged Turkey to conduct an independent investigation into the security forces treatment of anti-government protesters. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Cecile Pouilly said: We are concerned about reports of excessive use of force by law-enforcement officers against protesters in Turkey”.
Condemnations of the brutal crack-down have also been issued by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other Human Rights Organizations.
Mixed Signals from Erdogan and His Administration and Demands that the Government has to Step Down.
On Tuesday the Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc apologized for the harsh treatment of the initial protesters, who were protesting the planned demolition of Gezi Park near Taksim Square to build a mall and to reestablish military barracks from the Ottoman era. Bulen Arinc admitted that the police actions were wrong and said that security forces have been ordered not to use teargas except in cases of self-defense. “The excessive violence that was used in the first instance against those who were behaving with respect for the environment is wrong and unfair. I apologize to those citizens,” Arinc said at a news conference.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan however, blasted the protests as the work of secular enemies who have failed to come to terms with the election victory of the AKP. Erdogan stated, that the police would be working yesterday, and they will be working today, and continued by stating that he would not allow extremists to prevent the building of the mall or the military barracks.
Neither Erdogan nor officials from his administration have so far commented on the protesters demand that the AKP government has to step down, while the protesters and opposition become ever more
Turkey may Descend into Chaos – Civil War Risk is High.
Protests in Turkey are likely to continue throughout the week and are likely to culminate in renewed mass protests throughout Turkey on Friday and throughout the weekend. The participation of prominent members of opposition parties will, if protests continue, likely draw trade unions and other mass organizations into the protests. Turkey could face a general strike.
If the strike develops into a protracted stand-off between protesters and the government, to such a degree that the national security of Turkey is threatened, it is not unlikely that the military could intervene.
Under given circumstances the possibility of a counter-coup within the military could arise. The 600 detained military officers who are charged with trumped-up espionage charges is a fertile ground for a possible internal stand-off within the military that could result with the military siding with either the government or with the protesters.
Turkey is currently hosting thousands of al-Qaeda associated terrorists. The borders to Syria are porous, weapons are entering Turkey by the ship-load. Peace negotiations between the Turkish government and the PKK have not progressed as much as was expected from both sides and over the past two weeks there have been renewed clashes between the Turkish military and PKK fighters.
The situation in Turkey is as volatile as it is complicated and the country could erupt into a civil war faster than anyone would have anticipated it to be possible just one week ago.

Over 70% of the foods on the Canadian shelves contain GMO foods. The main ones are corn, soy, oil from canola and cottonseed, sugar from sugar beets, and a small amount of zucchini and crook neck squash. Livestock feeds are GMO too so it’s having an effect on the animals we eat.
So GMOs are not good for our health. They can cause food allergies. Some plants produce toxins but the levels are too low to damage humans. GMO can increase toxicity in plants and studies have shown that by consuming GMO plants people are risking Antibiotic resistance. I have also read that GMO food makes people gain weight and gives people cancer. Studies on rats 100% verify the dangers of ingesting GMO foods.
On Saturday May 25th 2013 The March Against Monsanto saw millions in 436 cities in 52 countries challenging biotech corporations and protesting against genetically modified foods.
This video records the events at city Hall Saturday May 25th 2013, here are some words from the people that attended the March Against Monsanto in Hamilton Ontario:
This video gives a quick over view of Monsanto’s dark history in the involvement of producing an abundant of commercial toxic chemicals to being involved with environmental warfare in Vietnam by producing Agent Orange which has left the country with children still being born deformed to this day. Their fertilizers, their herbicides and GMO foods are nothing but trash for the human body and is causing bodily harm to anyone who eats it for long periods of time:
In Canada, by law, grocery stores and producers have the free will choice to inform the consumer or to not to inform the consumer if it’s GMO. Other words GMO’s don’t have to be labeled. So unless you’re getting organic , you honestly will never know if you’re consuming GMO or not.
How do you know what’s organic and what’s not?
“Many people are left wondering if the food they are buying has been genetically modified or not. Mainly because there is no law or regulation stating that the foods need to be labeled as such.
The way to find out is surprisingly easy. By reading the PLU code, you can tell if the fruit was genetically modified, organically grown or produced with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides.
I am going to use bananas as an example. A banana that has been regularly grown with pesticides and other chemicals has the PLU # 4011.
Many people believe that a 5 digit PLU means that it is gm produce. Which is only 50% correct. I will explain.
An organic banana will. have the PLU 94011. All organic produce has a 5 digit PLU code that always starts with the number 9.
But gmo produce also has a 5 digit PLU. A genetically modified banana would have the PLU code 84011. All gm produce .starts with the number 8.”

It seems like a lot of effort by political parties such as the NDP are trying to put legislation for mandatory GMO labeling but I don’t really feel like there is enough effort being put into banning them. The GMO crop’s pollen can travel far distances and it can cross contaminate with organic crops and ultimately is a huge risk at making organic food go extinct because once it cross contaminates the organic crop is no longer organic because it contains the DNA of the GMO crop.
Our government and farmers should be taking a bigger stance on this like the way they did in European Union in the country of Hungary in 2011 when they burned the fields of GMO crops to ashes. One can not fight the new world order if they are sick and have diseases. Get involved in raising awareness, research where to get organic foods and stop giving into corporatism. First step to change is action and awareness. Act upon yourself to incorporate more healthy food in your diet and raise awareness in hopes of bringing change to eventually ban these poisonous foods.
