التاريخ سينفض غبار حقيقته المطموسة والمسيح إبن الحضارة اللبنانية


"اليهود أبناء إبليس" ولآدم ولدٌ إسمه "لبنان".الأب يمين لـ"tayyar.org": المسيح وتلامذته لبنانيون وليسوا يهوداً.
بول باسيل


التاريخ سينفض غبار حقيقته المطموسة والمسيح إبن الحضارة اللبنانية. كلمات واضحة من الأب يوسف يمين الذي أمضى 30 عاماً من حياته دارساً وفاحصاً كثيراً من الكتب التاريخية القديمة والجديدة. فالجنين برأيه لا يعٍ وجوده في أحشاء أمّه. لكنّ وجوده حقيقة علمية أحبّها الولد فيما بعد أم لا... ومن له فهمٌ واعي للمعرفة ليعِ تلك الحقيقة الناصعة.

الـ"tayyar.org" التقى الأب يوسف يمين في مكتبه في زغرتا وكان هذا الحوار الشيّق.

الموضوع هام وخطير جداً برأي عالم الذرّة الأب يوسف يمين. المسيح لبناني وليس يهودياً على الإطلاق، المسألة لا تتعلّق بشوفانية وعنصرية لبنانية، هناك خرائط ومستندات تاريخية ووثائق صريحة تكشف هذه الحقيقة الساطعة وكلّها موضوعة في كتاب "المسيح ولد في لبنان لا في اليهودية"(1) أنا شخصٌ منفتح ولبنانيتي الكونية علمتّني التواضع كما تخصصي في علم الذرّة، لكنّ التواضع شيء وإبراز الحقائق شيءٌ آخر". يضيف: "لبنان إمّا أن يكون كوني أو لا... البادرة التي إتخذّها رئيس تكتّل التغيير والإصلاح العماد ميشال عون خطوة تتخطّى المستوى السياسي الضيّق... نحن نتحدث عن مصير لبنان ودور المسيحيين. أقدّر كافة الطوائف. هناك أمور كثيرة نلتقي حولها والذي يجمع أكثر بكثير من الذي يُفرقّ. لا ذرّة كالأخرى في الكون فكيف بالحريّ الإنسان. اللبنانيون أو الفينيقيون أو الكنعانيون هم رواّد العالمية. وتركيزي على كلمة لبنانيين يعود لسبب أنّه في الأساس نحن لبنانيون قبل ان نكون كنعانيين أو فينيقيين... قلائل من يعرف ذلك، لكن من يقرأ ويطّلع بامكانه معرفة أنّ لبنان هو الإبن الرابع لآدم. علم الذرّة علمنّي التواضع كما التراب الذي لا يتذمّر منذ ايام آدم ... لآدم إبن اسمه لبنان حسب المؤرخين الكبار "كالطبري"(2). صحيح لا يجب العودة الى التاريخ والبقاء فيه لكنّه كما يقول الفيلسوف كانط (3) نحن مصلوبون على التاريخ - ماضٍ وحاضر ومستقبل- الماضي لا ليأسرنا بل ليُطورنا والحاضر ليطلقنا تجاه المستقبل".

الأب يمين الذي يفتخر بامتزاج دمه بتراب لبنان أيام الأحداث اللبنانية يعتبر أنّ الإتفاق بين التيار الوطني الحرّ وحزب الله أكبر عمل إستراتيجي منسجم مع تراث وتاريخ لبنان القديم من أجل التوجّه نحو مستقبل أفضل للمسيحيين واللبنانيين على السواء. وفق يمين "نحن لبنانيون إنطلاقاً من إبن آدم الرابع، ولاحقاً دعينا كنعانيين ثم فينيقيين. إنفتاحنا وسلامنا لجميع الحضارات لم يجنّّب "لبنان" الإحتلالات بدءاً من السومريين والآكاديين والأشوريين وإسكندر المقدوني والفرس واليونان والمماليك والعثمانيين... وفي النهاية بقى لبنان.

قايين أب اليهود الحقيقي
يعتبر الأب يمين نفسه من أكثر المدافعين عن تعاليم الكنيسة المارونية والكاثوليكية يقول: "أنا كاهن مسيحي ماروني، وانفتاحي المسيحي الكوني ينسجم مع كونية لبنان. للأسف بعضاً من المسيحيين يسيروا وراء اليهود معتقدين أنّ ابراهيم هو أب الديانات الثلاث (اليهودية والمسيحية والإسلام) ولكن في الحقيقة هم نسب قايين الذي كان قتالاً منذ البدء". يستشهد الأب يمين بالكتاب المقدس، الفصل الثامن من إنجيل يوحنا: "39 أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَبُونَا هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ». قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لَوْ كُنْتُمْ أَوْلاَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ! 40 وَلكِنَّكُمُ الآنَ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي، وَأَنَا إِنْسَانٌ قَدْ كَلَّمَكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنَ الإِلهِ. هذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ. 41 أَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ أَبِيكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُولَدْ مِنْ زِنًى. لَنَا أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ الإِلهُ».
42 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لَوْ كَانَ الإِلهُ أَبَاكُمْ لَكُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي، لأَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الإِلهِ وَأَتَيْتُ. لأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ ذَاكَ أَرْسَلَنِي. 43 لِمَاذَا لاَ تَفْهَمُونَ كَلاَمِي؟ لأَنَّكُمْ لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا قَوْلِي. 44 أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَبٍ هُوَ إِبْلِيسُ، وَشَهَوَاتِ أَبِيكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا. ذَاكَ كَانَ قَتَّالاً لِلنَّاسِ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ، وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي الْحَقِّ لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ حَق. مَتَى تَكَلَّمَ بِالْكَذِبِ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِمَّا لَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ وَأَبُو الْكَذَّابِ".

تلامذة المسيح لبنانيون باستثناء يهوذا.
سألنا الأب يميّن "لعل بكلام السيّد المسيح مغزى مبطّن؟" يشرح: "المسيح نور العالم وكلامه واضح في الإصحاح الثامن من إنجيل يوحنا، وهل يتفوّه السيّد المسيح بغير الصدق! اليهود هم أبناء قايين الذي كان قتالاً منذ البدء، وهذه المعادلة تأخذنا للتفتيش عن نسب المسيح الحقيقي. كلّ الدلائل تشير الى أنّ بيئة المسيح هي الحضارة اللبنانية الكونية، حضارة "إيل". هذه البيئة هي التي مهدّت وإحتضنت مجيء المسيح. وفق الحضارة الكنعانية اللبنانية المسيح هو عمانوئيل أي "الله معنا". سألناه "ما دامت الحضارة اللبنانية مهدّت لمجيء المسيح لماذا رسله بعد مماته وقيامته أتوا بلاد فينيقيا وكنعان للتبشير بالمسيحية؟ يفسّر : "تلامذة المسيح جميعهم كنعانيين باستثناء يهوذا الأسخريوطي الذي هو يهودي من قرية "ish kariot" التي تبعد 8 كلم جنوب غرب اورشليم ولهذا السبب دُعي بالإسخريوطي. من هنا نؤكد للبنانيين والعالم أنّ المسيح جليلي كما تلامذته.

نقاش.
ولأنّ كشف "الحقيقة" عملٌ جبّار، وضع الكاهن الزغرتاوي كتابه بتصرّف المسيحيين واللبنانين على السواء. فالكبار أمثاله وجدوا من أجل رسائل عظيمة.
وبانتظار إنتشار الحقيقة التي لا تتأثر بضجيج أكثرية غير واعية، توجهّنا للأب يمين بالسؤال التالي: ما دام تلاميذ السيدّ المسيح الأحد عشر كنعانيين كيف إستطاع اليهودي تزوير كلّ تلك الحقائق؟ ولماذا أسندت الأناجيل الأربعة والرسائل ورؤيا يوحنا على التوراة؟ يردّ الإهدني: الكذبة أسرع إنتشاراً، وكتاب التوراة مليء بالكذب والنفاق. يتحدثون أنّ أباهم هو ابراهيم. الأوروبيون ليسوا أجدر بفهم تاريخ الشرق. والتوراة ليس مستنداً علمياً، حالياً بدا بعض العلماء الغربيين يفضحون هذا التزوير المتعمّد". يتابع: "تلامذة المسيح بشّّروا أتباع ديانة إيل وبعل بما كانوا ينتظرونه... وبيت لحم التي يؤمها المؤمنون المسيحيون القريبة من أورشليم - 12 كلم - لم تكن موجودة أيام السيّد المسيح، فالسيّد المسيح ولد في "بيت لحم" الجليل – جبل الكرمل- حوالي 30 كلم جنوب الناقورة، وتاريخياً كان الجليل الأعلى يتبع قضاء صور. عليك أن تعرف أنّ اليهود شعب كذاب ولبنان التاريخي كان يمتدّ من عريش مصر والسيناء جنوباً حتى أنطاكيا جبال طوروس شمالاً، البحر الأبيض المتوسط (من ضمنها قبرص) غرباً وغوطة دمشق شرقاً (4).

"لبنان": الإنسان – الإله و إهدن جنّة عدن.
بحسب الأب يمين كنية لبنان الأرض تعود الى "لبنان" إبن آدم الرابع اله الكنعانيين. تاريخياً كان الكنعانيون القدماء يؤلهون عظماءهم الكبار. وتكشف أقدم مخطوطة تاريخية عن إهدن مدونّة في أيام المماليك عن توطّن أولاد "سام" بن نوح في إهدن التي أصبحت محلاً شهيراً. وفي سنة 2500 للخليقة أي حوالي عام 1000 ق. م. خربت اهدن لتوجّه أهلها محاربة الإسرائيليين مع أهل فلسطين (الآراميون). وبقيت خراباً لعام 2939 أي حوالي عام 850 ق. م. عندما أتاها الملك "هددعازار" السرياني وجددّ بناءها فأقام نصباً لإلهها المعروف بـ"لبنان" اله الثلج. الإبن الرابع لآدم". (5)

رغم مرور 10 سنوات على طباعة كتاب "المسيح ولد في لبنان" تجاهلت الكنيسة تلك المعطيات، لا تأكيد ولا إعتراض. فسألناه بحماس لمَ لا تتحرك الكنيسة المارونية لبتّ الأمور؟ ألا يجدر بالموارنة توزيع الكتاب داخل الأبرشيات سيما وأنّ الكتاب يؤكد لبنانية المسيح؟ يجيب: "كتابي حقائق تاريخية وجغرافية وتوبونومية وتوبولوجية وليست أساطير. أنا من أكثر المدافعين عن المسيحية ومعتقداتها، نحن بصدد طباعة نسخة ثالثة للكتاب، المسألة يلزمها وقت لأنّ الإنسان عدو ما يجهل، هل يمكننا تعليم فلسفة ارسطو لتلامذة الروضة والإبتدائي؟ يتابع ضاحكاً: "هذه الأمور جديدة وأنا لا أدعّي معرفة كلّ شيء. ثلاثون عاماً من الدرس والتمحيص العلميين أثبتا بالفعل لبنانية المسيح. ومهاجمة بعض الكهنة للأب يمين لا تزيد ولا تؤخر شيئاً في الموضوع."

سألناه عن رفضه الإتجاه الى الفاتيكان والكنائس الأخرى الأورثوذكسية والقبطية والبروتستنتية لوضع الإكتشاف موضع التنفيذ وإحراج الجميع؟ يقول: "راديو الفاتيكان أشار الى الموضوع وإتصلّ بي مرتين لمعالجة الموضوع رأي الفاتيكان واضح الكتاب كتابٌ تاريخي وعلمي ولا علاقة له بجوهر الدين".

ورداً على إستفسار عدم تواجد أيّ وثيقة في الفاتيكان تؤيد أبحاث هذا السرّ المُكتشف يجيب يمين: "الإكليروس الغربي لا يزال تحت وطأة اليهود. والتاريخ الذي تعلمناه في أوائل القرن الماضي تاريخٌ أوروبي بامتياز ولا علاقة له بتايخنا الشرقي. نعم هناك صحوة لدى بعض علماء الأثار الغربيين وهناك طمسُ متعمّد من قبل اليهود. الديانة اليهودية لا تعرف المعمودية على الإطلاق. فكيف يفسرّون معمودية السيّد المسيح ومعمودية يوحنا المعمدان! التفسير العلمي يكشف بوضوح أنّ يوحنا المعمدان وعائلة المسيح (مريم ويوسف) هم من جماعة الأسينيين (6) – التيار الروحاني اللبناني - الكنعاني الذي كان ينتظر مجيء المسيح - بجديّة يتابع الأب الجليل حديثه "إفتحوا كتاب التوراة هل يتحدثون فيه عن المعمودية؟؟؟".

أنا تيار أكثر من ناشطيه
يستطرد الأب يمين في شرحه: "ما فعله الجنرال عون هام جداً في هذا الخصوص. لديه كلّ الحق أن يقول نحن مشرقيون. زيارته الى براد في سوريا من أجمل ما يكون على الإطلاق... لست عضواً في التيار الوطني الحرّ. أنا من مؤسسي فكرة حزب المردة، لكن في العمق والجوهر هذان الحزبان يتلاقيان. أنا أكثر من ناشطيه مع التيار الوطني الحرّ خصوصاً لناحية لبنانيته الصرفة... لكنّ لبنانيتي منفتحة وليست موجهّة ضدّ أحد... أنا شخصياً ضدّ الصهاينة. هل يعرف الجميع أنّ الدين اليهودي الأصلي لا حرية له بالتحرّك داخل اسرائيل... للأسف الحركة الصهيونية هي السائدة في العالم وليست اليهودية... والغرب زرعوا الصهيونية في الشرق لمصالحهم والصهاينة يستفيدون من الغرب لتحقيق مآربهم".

سمار جبيل
يتابع الأب يمين كلامه: "المسيحيون عموماً متأثرون باليهود لإعتبارات كثيرة. هل يجوز القول مثلاً أنّ قلعة سمار جبيل الهامة يعرف اخبارها الغرب أكثر من الشرقيين أنفسهم؟ للأسف غلبة الحضارة الغربية على باقي الحضارات في القرون الماضية شوهّت الكثير عن قصد وغير قصد تألق حضارتنا المشرقية وخصوصاً الحضارة اللبنانية – الكنعانية. الكنيسة غرباً وشرقاً تقرّ حالياً أنّ يوحنا المعمداني كان من أتباع الكنعانيين القدماء، ومعموديته كانت وفق التقاليد الأسينية، والقديس بطرس في عظته على جبل الكرمل أدخل الرهبان الأسينيين الى المسيحية بعد تلقفهم للإشارات بعكس اليهود الذين كانوا ينتظرون مخلصاً مدنياً لينقذهم من الرومان". يعقّب الأب يمين "المسيح أتى لإنقاذ الكون بأسره".

أسرار تاريخية
وعن معرفة الفرس بمولد السيّد المسيح يقول كاهن زغرتا: "كانت الرهبنات في مصر وأرض فينيقيا – كنعان على إتصال دائم بالديانة الفارسية". يستطرد "لهذا السبب حزب الله يُدافع عن لبنان بكلّ ما أوتي له من قوّة. هم اتباع الفرس والمجوس الإيرانيين الذين اتوا جبل الكرمل ولبنان للإهتمام بالمسيح، ورؤية الجيش الفارسي للفسيفساء المجوسية لكنيسة المهد أوقفت التعرّض للمقام الديني أثناء إحتلالهم المنطقة.

برأي يمين تصويب إعوجاج يزيد عمره عن 2000 عام لن يكون بـ"كبسة زر". فالبابوات والأساقفة والمؤمنون يحجوّن الى بيت لحم غير بيت لحم الحقيقية. هناك صدمة طبيعية للمؤمنين سيما وأنّ مطلقها كاهن ماروني لبناني "صغير" من زغرتا.

مخطوطة هامّة
وفق الأب يمين الإسرائيليون، محترفون بتزوير التأريخ والتاريخ. "سلبوا تاريخ الشعوب المجاورة ووضعوها في كتابهم، تاريخهم تاريخ ابليس. والنبي موسى ليس يهودياً على الإطلاق. ما يُشاع في التوراة غير صحيح، العالم اليهودي "ڤزنسكي" والقاطن في "تل أبيب" نقّب لمدة 37 عاماً في اسرائيل ليجد أثراً لليهود ولرجل إسمه موسى. لم يجد". يضيف: "إن قلت لي أنّي قادر على قتل 300 شخص في سيفي هل علّي تصديقك! اليهود أنفسهم في إحدى المخطوطات التي عاينتها يقولون فيها بصراحة "هزئنا من الناس وإدعينا أن أبانا هو ابراهيم، وصدقّنا المسيحيون والمسلمون... والدنا هو قايين - الذي كان قتالاً منذ البدء بحسب السيد المسيح في إنجيل يوحنا – يعقّب الأب يمين: لا يخاف أحد من أقوال هذه المخطوطة حرفياً عاينتها وقرأتها، اليهود شعب كذاب بعكس لبنان وحضارته التي قال عنها قداسة البابا يوحنا بولس الثاني "إنّه أكبر من وطن إنّه أنموذج حضاري للشرق والغرب".

سوريا: دولة أم قومية!
ولأنّ الحدود تكبر وتصغر سألنا الأب يمين عن حدود لبنان القديم وتقارب القوميتين اللبنانية والسورية مع تواجد تقارب كبير بين مفكري القومية اللبنانية وفكر انطون سعادة؟ أجاب: "طبعاً هناك التقاء بكثير من الأمور. القومية السورية تؤمن أنهم كنعانيون ومن أتباع ايل لكن نحن اللبنانيون كما لبنان موجودون قبل سوريا بكثير. السريان قومية والأكراد قومية كما العرب والفرس. والسريان الآراميون ينتمون الى القومية الكنعانية لا الى سوريا كمفهوم دولة".

خديعة اليهود تستمدّ قوتها المادية من أبيهم ابليس. قوتهم في العالم ركزتّهم في عالم المال والإقتصاد. لكنّهم في الحقيقة لا يخشون أحداً كخشيتهم من البناني. عام 1973 و1975 تغلّب عليهم جيشنا الوطني وفي حرب تموز تغلّب عليهم حزب الله. الروح والعقل والحب أقوى من المال وهذا هو لبنان وسرّه. لبنان هو الحب والعطاء والإنتشار والنور، لبنان لم يستعمر بلداً ولم يهجم على أيّ شعب، وجلّ ما يفعله إعطاء الحرية للشعوب".

العذراء مريم.
تقول الوثائق التاريخية أنّ السيدة العذراء والقديس يوسف كانا يخدمان في هيكل "أسيني"، فالأخير كان يعمل في هيكل جبل الكرمل اللبناني. وبيت لحم – الجليل – مكان ولادة المسيح كانت بلدة السيدة العذراء. يقول أبو المردة: "ذهاب مريم الى نسيبتها اليصابات التي كان تسكن بجوارها لا تصحّ مع تلفيقات اليهود التي تدعّي أن اليصابات كانت تسكن في بيت عنيا، ففي هذا الكلام تحريفُ متعمّد لتقريب بيت لحم من اورشليم". يفسّر بحماسة الأب يمين: "الجميع يقرّ أنّ المرأة اليهودية لا تخدم في الهيكل وهذه ليست حال مريم العذراء التي كانت تخدم في هيكل أسيني، فالأسينيون لا يميزون بين الرجال والنساء. والمسيح إبن الحضارة اللبنانية – الفينيقية وبرتبة "ملكيصادق".

المسيح على الصليب خاطب إيل – اله الكنعانيين.
يشرح الأب يمين علاقة المسيح بلبنان: عودة تلامذة المسيح الى جبل الكرمل كانت لمعرفتهم أنّ المسيح قبل إعلان بشارته قضى معظم حياته في جبل الكرمل حيت تعلّم كافة الأمور في جامعتها" (7). سألناه عن عدم ذكر ذلك في الكتب! أجاب: هذه الحقائق ليست مدونّة أو معروفة لأنّ الأسينيين كانوا يحافظون على اسرارهم. ألم يقل السيّد المسيح لا تعطوا الكلاب ما هو مقدّس! ألم يقل لا تُلقوا جواهركم الى الخنازير لكي لا تدوسها بأرجلها... المقدسات لا تُعطى للزعران أو للأولاد الصغار". والأسينيون الذين تلقفوا المسيحية مع وعظة القديس بطرس على جبل الكرمل وحلول الروح القدس جعلتهم يبنون أوّل كنيسة في التاريخ في لبنان باسم العذراء مريم التي كانت لا تزال على قيد الحياة". يضيف الأب يمين: "الأسينيون تأثروا بالديانة الكنعانية ديانة ايل، حتى أنّ الكبار منهم كانوا يضعون حول أعناقهم قلادة تحمل إسم إيل، اله الكنعانيين، الإله الموحد الكوني الأول وسوف يقول المسيح نفسه على الصليب: أيلي إيلي لماذا تركتني؟ لقد خاطب إيل – أباه – اله الكنعانيين اللبنانيين ولم يخاطب "يهوى" اله اليهود لأنّه كان كنعانياً لبنانياً لا يهودياً. (8)

علم الأثار
من ضمن السياق نفسه كشفت المجلة الكاثوليكية "La Revue de la Bible" في فرنسا أنّ الأركيولوجي الإسرائيلي "افيرام أوشري" اليهودي والمتواجد في بيت لحم الجليل – لبنان - (9) أن بيت لحم الجليل - التي هي كنعانية - هي المهد الحقيقي الذي ولد فيه السيّد المسيح مشيرة الى أنّ كتّاب الأناجيل المقدسّة قالوا أنّ المسيح ولد في بيت لحم اليهودية لتقريبها قليلاً من اورشليم".

الأب يمين يقول: "بيت لحم اللبنانية تقع شرق - شمال جبل كرمل (أرض كنعان) وكانت تابعة فيما مضى لمدينة صور (ضمن فلسطين المحتلّة حالياً - 30 كلم جنوب لبنان - رأس الناقورة) وهي حالياً مكتشفة من قبل علماء الأثار الفرنسين والألمان... وكانت تُسمّى "افراتا" (10) لتمييزها عن بيت لحم الأخرى الجنوبية، مشيراً الى أنّ هذه القرية مكتشفة ومعروفة تماماً من قبل العلماء ومن قبل الفلسطينيين والإسرائيليين على السواء".
ويكشف الأب يمين في حديثه لـ"tayyar.org" أنّ أضرحة عائلة المسيح لجهتي والده بالتربية يوسف ووالدته مريم موجودة أيضاً في لبنان في "القليلة" قرب قانا الجليل "المسيح كنعانيٌ وليس يهودياً على الإطلاق... أهالي "القليلة" التي هي بجوار بلدة قانا أوقفوا الجرافات الإسرائيلية من جرف هذا المقام لأنّ الإسرائيليين يبغون طمس هذه الحقيقة... العذراء كنعانية وليست يهودية لأنّ المرأة اليهودية لم يكن مسموحاً لها الخدمة في هيكل الربّ بعكس العذراء مريم الكنعانية - الأسينية التي كانت منذورة للعمل في خدمة الرب وهي من قانا الجليل اللبنانية... وبالتالي المسيح عاش في لبنان كما يقول المؤرخ الفرنسي "ارنست رينان" يقول: "العذراء مريم بعد موت يوسف عادت الى قريتها قانا الجليل في لبنان... والمسيح عاش في لبنان واعجوبته الأولى كانت حيث تربّى ونشأ".
ويعتبر يمين أنّ المرأة اليهودية لا تخدم في الهيكل اليهودي فيما يقول المؤرخون القدماء من بينهم العرب "الطبري" أن مريم العذراء كانت تخدم في معبد كنعاني أسيني في جبل الكرمل وهناك تعرف المسيح على الأسينيين في الجامعة اللبنانية في جبل الكرمل".
وبعد إكتشاف علماء الأثار في بيت لحم الجليل أنّ طبقات الأرض تحتوي على ثلاثة كنائس... أقدمها محروقة من قبل اليهود عام 100م. أمّا بيت لحم اليهودية التي يحجّ اليها المسيحيون فقد بنيت عام 339 م. وكانت مقبرة للعموم. يعلّق الأب يمين: "اليهود مع نفيهم أيام طيطس عام 60م. وهدمهم لهيكل اورشليم إتجّه قسم منهم صوب الجليل وانتشروا في الدول العربية".

يوسف ليس نجاراً.
لفهم حقائق التاريخ علينا فهم بيئة وعادات الحقبة التي نتحدّث عنها. حسب الأب يمين والد المسيح يوسف ليس نجاراً. في اللغة اليونانية "تكتون" تعني tailleur de pierre أي "معمرجي" باللغة العامية اللبنانية. وسبب إخفاء هذه المعلومة والصاق مهنة "النجّار" ليوسف تعود لخوف الأسينيين من التباس مهنة "tailleur de pierre" المتقنة منهم للأدوات السلمية -كان محرماً عليهم العمل في أدوات الحرب - و "معمرجيي" ذلك الزمان الذين كانوا يبنون القلاع العسكرية خصوصاً أنّ بيوت ذلك الزمان لم تكن مبنية من الحجارة. يضيف الأب يمين: "المسيح غسّل أرجل تلامذته لأنّه متواضع طبعاً ولكنّ لسبب آخر أكثر أهمية، في تلك الأيام كانت تلك العادة يقوم بها العبد. يهوذا الإسخريوطي أُعطي 30 قطعة من الفضة كثمن خيانته طبعاً وكثمن العبد الذي يٌقدّر بـ30 قطعةً فضية". يكمل يمّين حديثه "هكذا حررّ المسيح العبد والكون بأسره، المسيح علمّنا محبّة الأعداء، لأنّ الله هو فعل حبّ. وكلمة "أغابي" agape في اليونانية تعني l’amour بالفرنسية وحب في العربية لا محبة.

في حياته يبشّر الأب يمين بلبنان وبعد مماته سيبقى مبشّراً به كما يقول. "لبنان هو سرّ الله على الأرض ومسيحه. المؤامرات تُساق عليه من كلّ حدبٍ وصوب. ولكنّ رسالته تبقى أنموذج حضاري للشرق وللغرب. لبنان والكونية امرٌ سيّان. عام 1979 حلقّت بالجو نتيجة تعرضّي لإنفجار ولكني أفتخر بمزج دمائي بتراب لبنان.

حقيقة دامغة: المذنّب "هالي"
من المعروف انّ "المذنّب هالي" قد مرّ قريباً من الأرض في 19 آذار 1986، وقد شاهده بالعين المجردّة العديد من الناس... وكان موضوعاً لدراسات فلكية وعلمية عديدة من قبل كثير من علماء الفلك والفيزياء والكيمياء. وقد أعطت هذه الدراسات الحديثة معلومات جديدة غاية في الأهمية. أبرز علماء الفلك الذين إهتموا بدراسته العالم السوفياتي الشهير الكسندر أ. رزنيكوف. دراسة هذا الفلكي هو ربطه "المذنّب هالي" ببيت لحم الحقيقية اللبنانية. وأبرز حقائق رزنكوف ما يلي:
- المذنّب هالي هو نفسه نجم الميلاد الذي رآه المجوس في المشرق يتقدمّه حتى بلغ المكان الذي فيه الطفل (متى 2:9).
- "مذنّب هالي" لم يمرّ أبداً فوق بيت لحم اليهودية المعروفة اليوم فالمذنّب قد مرّ بحسب دراساته الفلكية والجغرافية فوق شمال فلسطين منطقة الجليل.
- يُسمّي العالم الفلكي رزنيكوف حرفياً بيت لحم الذي مرّ فوقها المذنّب ببيت لحم الكنعانية، ومستنداً على "الموسوعة اليهودية" باللغة الإنكليزية التي تقول بالحرف الواحد "إنّ بيت لحم الجليل في الشمال تقع داخل أراضي مدينة صور وبالتالي داخل اراضي لبنان". (11)

الذرّة.
ولأنّ الأب يمين موسوعة فكرية كان لا بدّ من إقتناص وجود الـ"tayyar.org" معه لمعرفة آخر أخبار الذرّة المتخصصّ بها. يقول: "للذرّة نواة، وسبع طبقات، والكترونات تدور حولها. يخرج من النواة إشعاعات الفا وبيتا وغاما. شعاع الـ"gamma" يغادر نواة الذرّة متخطياً الأرض والنظام الشمسي ومجرّة درب التبانة (مجموعة نظم شمسية) ليصل الى مجموعة شمسية تجاور مجرتنّا فتلتقي مع شعاعٍ شبيه له فيتبادلان المعلومات مع بعضهما ثم يعود الى حيث إنطلق".

علم الذرّة برأيه علم يصدم. "علينا إقتسام رأس الدبوس ستة عشر جيلاً لنصل الى ذرّة واحدة. وقطر تلك الذرّة 3 مليار ونصف كلم.

The Powers-That-Be Are Terrified of the Mass Awakening Taking Place Worldwide


Our situation is admittedly dire....

Oligarchs are seizing more overt control in most countries in the world, the worldwide economy is on course for another - even bigger - train wreck, countries are cracking down on freedom and becoming more tyrannical, we are in a permanent state of war (and see this), and companies like BP are destroying our natural resources without any checks and balances.

But as Andrew Gavin Marshall points out, the elites are actually terrified of the mass political awakening which is occurring worldwide.

Marshall collects quotes from flexian Zbigniew Brzezinski - Obama's former foreign affairs adviser, National Security Adviser to President Carter, creator of America's strategy to lure Russia into Afghanistan, and creator of America's plans for Eurasia in general - to make his point.

Listen to Brzezinski's own words (consolidated from various writings and speeches, and edited as if they were a single passage):

For the first time in history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive. Global activism is generating a surge in the quest for cultural respect and economic opportunity in a world scarred by memories of colonial or imperial domination.

For the first time in human history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive. There are only a few pockets of humanity left in the remotest corners of the world that are not politically alert and engaged with the political turmoil and stirrings that are so widespread today around the world. The resulting global political activism is generating a surge in the quest for personal dignity, cultural respect and economic opportunity in a world painfully scarred by memories of centuries-long alien colonial or imperial domination.

America needs to face squarely a centrally important new global reality: that the world's population is experiencing a political awakening unprecedented in scope and intensity, with the result that the politics of populism are transforming the politics of power. The need to respond to that massive phenomenon poses to the uniquely sovereign America an historic dilemma: What should be the central definition of America's global role?

[T]he central challenge of our time is posed not by global terrorism, but rather by the intensifying turbulence caused by the phenomenon of global political awakening. That awakening is socially massive and politically radicalizing.
It is no overstatement to assert that now in the 21st century the population of much of the developing world is politically stirring and in many places seething with unrest. It is a population acutely conscious of social injustice to an unprecedented degree, and often resentful of its perceived lack of political dignity. The nearly universal access to radio, television and increasingly the Internet is creating a community of shared perceptions and envy that can be galvanized and channeled by demagogic political or religious passions. These energies transcend sovereign borders and pose a challenge both to existing states as well as to the existing global hierarchy, on top of which America still perches.
The youth of the Third World are particularly restless and resentful. The demographic revolution they embody is thus a political time-bomb, as well. With the exception of Europe, Japan and America, the rapidly expanding demographic bulge in the 25-year-old-and-under age bracket is creating a huge mass of impatient young people. Their minds have been stirred by sounds and images that emanate from afar and which intensify their disaffection with what is at hand. Their potential revolutionary spearhead is likely to emerge from among the scores of millions of students concentrated in the often intellectually dubious "tertiary level" educational institutions of developing countries. Depending on the definition of the tertiary educational level, there are currently worldwide between 80 and 130 million "college" students. Typically originating from the socially insecure lower middle class and inflamed by a sense of social outrage, these millions of students are revolutionaries-in-waiting, already semi-mobilized in large congregations, connected by the Internet and pre-positioned for a replay on a larger scale of what transpired years earlier in Mexico City or in Tiananmen Square. Their physical energy and emotional frustration is just waiting to be triggered by a cause, or a faith, or a hatred.

Politically awakened mankind craves political dignity, which democracy can enhance, but political dignity also encompasses ethnic or national self-determination, religious self-definition, and human and social rights, all in a world now acutely aware of economic, racial and ethnic inequities. The quest for political dignity, especially through national self-determination and social transformation, is part of the pulse of self-assertion by the world's underprivileged

The misdiagnosis [of foreign policy] pertains to a relatively vague, excessively abstract, highly emotional, semi-theological definition of the chief menace that we face today in the world, and the consequent slighting of what I view as the unprecedented global challenge arising out of the unique phenomenon of a truly massive global political awakening of mankind. We live in an age in which mankind writ large is becoming politically conscious and politically activated to an unprecedented degree, and it is this condition which is producing a great deal of international turmoil.


That turmoil is the product of the political awakening, the fact that today vast masses of the world are not politically neutered, as they have been throughout history. They have political consciousness. It may be undefined, it may point in different directions, it may be primitive, it may be intolerant, it may be hateful, but it is a form of political activism.

The other major change in international affairs is that for the first time, in all of human history, mankind has been politically awakened. That is a total new reality – total new reality. It has not been so for most of human history until the last one hundred years. And in the course of the last one hundred years, the whole world has become politically awakened. And no matter where you go, politics is a matter of social engagement, and most people know what is generally going on –generally going on – in the world, and are consciously aware of global inequities, inequalities, lack of respect, exploitation. Mankind is now politically awakened and stirring. The combination of the two: the diversified global leadership, politically awakened masses, makes a much more difficult context for any major power including, currently, the leading world power: the United States.
The people of the world are waking up to the reality of what is happening. If we wake up fast enough, we can reclaim our power and dignity, and shake off those who would steal everything we have, including our money, opportunity and freedom.

To see the context of Brzezinski 's quotes - and for a great analysis of the ways in which th epowers-that-be are trying to counter the mass awakening, read Marshall's essay....

No Price to Pay for Torture.

I can't be the only person disappointed with the Supreme Court’s refusal to consider the claims of Maher Arar, the Canadian citizen sent to Syria to be tortured under the orders of the George Bush administration.

Now, we can easily condemn the Bush administration for it's role in all of this, but it is increasingly harder not to also feel disgust at the Obama administration's insistence that torture cases such as this must not be brought before American courts.

Amazingly, Mr. Obama’s acting solicitor general, Neal Katyal, urged the Supreme Court not to take the case, arguing in part that the court should not investigate the communications between the United States and other countries because it might damage diplomatic relations and affect national security. It might even raise questions, Mr. Katyal wrote, about “the motives and sincerity of the United States officials who concluded that petitioner could be removed to Syria.”
Wouldn't it be simply awful to question “the motives and sincerity of the United States officials who concluded that petitioner could be removed to Syria”?

I mean there is already enough in the public record for us to question the motives of those who sent him there.
“The American authorities who handled Mr. Arar’s case treated Mr. Arar in a most regrettable fashion,” Justice O’Connor wrote in a three-volume report, not all of which was made public. “They removed him to Syria against his wishes and in the face of his statements that he would be tortured if sent there. Moreover, they dealt with Canadian officials involved with Mr. Arar’s case in a less than forthcoming manner.”

The Syrian-born Mr. Arar was seized on Sept. 26, 2002, after he landed at Kennedy Airport in New York on his way home from a holiday in Tunisia. On Oct. 8, he was flown to Jordan in an American government plane and taken overland to Syria, where he says he was held for 10 months in a tiny cell and beaten repeatedly with a metal cable.
Contrast the difference between the reaction of the Canadians to this case and the utter inaction from the Americans.
In Canada, the government conducted an investigation and found that Mr. Arar had been tortured because of its false information. The commissioner of the police resigned. Canada cleared Mr. Arar of all terror connections, formally apologized and paid him nearly $9.8 million.
In the US, Arar can't even get his case heard in court, and he can't get it heard because the Obama administration are the ones making the arguments insisting that his case should not be heard.

I am with the New York Times editorial board on this.
There is no excuse for the Obama administration’s conduct. It should demonstrate some moral authority by helping Canada’s investigation, apologizing to Mr. Arar and writing him a check.
Rather than helping to keep the crimes of the Bush administration away from American courts, Obama should be doing the opposite. They certainly should be acknowledging that this man has been wronged and making sure that they compensate him for the dreadful things which were done to him.



Here, Senator Leahy takes apart Gonzales for the way the Bush administration enabled torture. What was done to this man is no less outrageous now that Obama is in the White House.

Stop U.S. Support of Israeli Terrorism

by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy

'Aid' to Israel --better described as a 'rogue' or 'terrorist' nation than a 'state' --must end! Most recent among a series of 'false flag' attacks or so-called "incidents" of Israeli origin is a recent atrocity: Ten dead as Israel storms aid ships, an act of terrorism by 'Israeli commandos, an attack of a convoy of Gaza-bound aid ships'. The time has come to cut off all 'aid' to Israel.

The ships were in international waters. Palestine has --rightly --called the attack a massacre. I call it an act of terrorism by a terrorist state.
The bloodshed sparked street protests and government ire in Turkey, long Israel's lone Muslim ally in the region, which had supported the convoy. Ankara recalled its ambassador from Israel and Turkish President Abdullah Gul demanded that the culprits be punished. The European Union demanded an inquiry and France and Germany said they were "shocked." The United Nations condemned violence against civilians in international waters.Israeli officials said the marines were met with gunfire and knives when they boarded the ships, which included a large ferry flying the Turkish flag. Activists seized at least two pistols from the boarding party, the officials said.Israel's attempts to maintain its three-year-old blockade on the Hamas Islamist-ruled enclave while avoiding bloodshed that would spark an international incident collapsed in spectacular fashion: "It's going to be a big scandal, no doubt about it," Israel's Trade Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told Reuters.--Ten dead as Israel storms aid ships, sparks outcry
This act of terrorism by the 'state' of Israel, a U.S. 'client state', is but the most recent in a long list of Israeli outrages to include the murder of innocent men, women, and children.

By supporting Israel, the U.S. violates the 'Symington Amendment' in which aid of any type is forbidden to 'Nuclear states' not signatory to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty'. Moreover, 'Dual-citizen' Israelis now serve in U.S. government positions, obvious instances of conflict of interest but worse --allegiance! This practice subverts U.S. security and might have been considered 'treasonous' had the U.S. 'war on terrorism' been real! A more convincing case is that Israel itself is a terrorist nation in partnership with the United States. I find it hard to believe that any other nation has ever allowed another nation the access allowed Israel by the United States.K-Street, where paid lobbies 'nest' and purchase favors and preferential treatment, has replaced Congress. Lobbies, in fact, draft the laws and solicit support for them among members of Congress. The most powerful lobby is the so-called 'Jewish Lobby', most certainly bankrolled by the state of Israel. It is not unusual that the U.S. is routinely sold to the highest bidder, but, in the case of Israel, the U.S. taxpayer is stuck with the bill.

At the beginning of every fiscal year, the U.S. makes a lump sum payment of cold hard cash to Israel, a procedure not duplicated for any other nation receiving U.S. 'aid'. It looks like a payoff in response to a shakedown because that is precisely what it is! What leverage, we wonder, is used by Israel on the U.S? The Carvellian quick response: terrorism! Terrorism is a racket! Israel exploits 'terrorism' to shake down the U.S. tax payer. Now we know why Israelis danced on 911.Israel is among the world's richest nations. Nevertheless, Israel receives more U.S. tax payer money than any other 'single recipient' of what is euphemistically called 'U.S. aid', more, in fact, than all of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa combined. Though Israel is barely larger in population than metropolitan Los Angeles, Chicago or Houston, it receives more aid than two continents. Those areas include some of the poorest regions which receive much less U.S. aid than does wealthy Israel who clearly does not need it.

Then what does U.S. aid to Israel consist of? At the top of the list is, of course, the aforementioned cold, hard cash. Other 'aid' includes the weapons of war themselves.
The U.S. administration has notified Congress of the following proposed government-negotiated Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreements, export licenses for industry-negotiated Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), or leases of military equipment to Israel. The Arms Export Control Act requires only that the administration notify Congress of FMS and DCS valued at $14 million or more. Sales below that threshold are not recorded here. --Arms Transfers to Israel: 1993 to Present
Former Secretary of State Shultz 'credited' Netanyahu for 'effecting a change in American policies on terrorism'. That's 'political speak' for 'Israel extorted billions of dollars in aid by raising the specter of 'terrorism'. Fear of 'terrorism' is responsible for the transfer of billions of dollars to Israel because the U.S. tax payer is brainwashed, literally trained to fear anyone with a tan wearing a turban. Terrorism is how the moneys 'given' to Israel are officially justified. What is 'terrorism' but the practice by the U.S. and its client state, Israel, to extort billions from U.S. taxpayers?
The set of deliberately misleading and discredited assumptions followed by the proponents of the War on Terror must be repudiated. The government is wasting 10s of billions of dollars, propping up this sham, in the wake of the enforced fear-mongering that has crept in since 9/11. In return for the tax dollars that pay for blooding our hands, we had habeas corpus struck down, arbitrary “no-fly lists” are implemented, our government is perpetrating terror hoaxes on the people, and over 100 Canadian soldiers have died fighting what Stephen Harper admits is an un-winnable war.

Despite the obvious ill effects on society, the tenets of the GWOT are still off-limits for inquiry, or you are a ‘troofer’ and subject to derision and ridicule. It doesn’t matter that you are speaking truth. Ask Lesley Hughes.

Canada seems to be under the ideological and political grip of a foreign power, that is leveraging control over Canadian parties and politicians. Many powerful Isr-el lobby groups operate in Canada bending the government’s ear to the Isr-elis.

They need the pretense of the “existential threat” to Western Civilization represented by Arab terrorism to justify what was a long-standing plan to invade the middle east. Thus, we are following a set of deliberately misleading erroneous assumptions that have manipulated us into war.--Origins of the War of Terror: Bush, Netanyahu and the CIA
It was in 1979 that Netanyahu organized an international conference against terrorism, under the auspices of the Jonathan Institute — a private foundation dedicated to the study of terrorism. It is hard to believe that it was not the very purpose of that 'foundation' to frighten the U.S. into coughing up the billions for Israel which habitually milks the U.S. tax payer. Yet recently, Netanyahu is reported to have defied the U.S. over Israeli settlement policies that have clearly destabilized the Middle East. See: Netanyahu defies U.S. over Jerusalem settlement

Leo Strauss, the so-called 'intellectual' godfather of neo-conservativism, believed that neocons ought to 'lie' to the unwashed masses because, it is said, they 'can't handle the truth'. Well --the truth is Benjamin Netanyahu believes he owns the NEOCONS. Tails wag dogs. I say: a pox on both their houses. Israel should be 'cut off' now. No gradualism, no time for therapy sessions! Cut them off now and balance the budget with the savings. (BTW, the last balanced budget was in a Democratic Regime)
The prime minister's speech last night returned the Middle East to the days of George W. Bush's "axis of evil." Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a patriarchal, colonialist address in the best neo-conservative tradition: The Arabs are the bad guys, or at best ungrateful terrorists; the Jews, of course, are the good guys, rational people who need to raise and care for their children. In the West Bank settlement of Itamar, they're even building a nursery school. No empathy for the refugees from Jaffa who lost their entire world, not a word for the Muslim connection to Jerusalem - neither a fragment of a quote from the Koran, nor a line of Arabic poetry. --Netanyahu and a Return to the Axis of Evil
If it has not been eclipsed by Mossad, the CIA is most certainly the world' biggest 'terrorist' organization. The late Benazir Bhutto revealed the truth before she was brutally gunned down in the streets of Karachi: US policy causes world terrorism. Conveniently for 'official terrorists, she died before she could tell the rest of the story.
When the United States aligns with dictatorships and totalitarian regimes, it compromises the basic democratic principles of its foundation -- namely, life, liberty and justice for all. Dictatorships such as Musharraf's suppress individual rights and freedoms and empower the most extreme elements of society. Oppressed citizens, unable to represent themselves through other means, often turn to extremism and religious fundamentalism.--Benazir Bhutto, A False Choice for Pakistan
A favorite CIA tactic is the CIA "front".
The May 12 terrorist attacks on the al Hamra, Jadawal and Vinnell compounds in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, which killed more than 90 people, were not merely assaults on “symbols” of the imperialist West. The bombers were also intent on weakening the rule of Saudi royal family.
While the timing of the bombings in Saudi Arabia and in other countries — just hours before US Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived in Saudi Arabia — suggested a coordinated assault on US targets, the bombings in Riyadh were targeted at key props of the reactionary regime.All three Saudi Arabian targets were associated with Saudi Arabia's role as a US client state: residential compounds housing mainly expatriates working in the country, the offices of the Vinnell Corporation and the residences of its employees.Vinnell, founded in California in 1931, first gained a foothold in Saudi Arabia in 1975. An article by Matt Gaul in the June 1998 Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, revealed that it was the culmination of a close relationship between the corporation, the US military and Washington's intelligence agencies. This relationship stretched back to the end of World War II, when the US government used the company to ship supplies to the China's counter-revolutionary party, the Kuomintang.During the 1950s and '60s, Vinnell constructed US military airfields in Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Thailand and southern Vietnam. According to Gaul, it was during this period that Albert Vinnell, the corporation's founder, “offered his staff's services to the [CIA], and several CIA agents used employment with Vinnell as cover for operations in Africa and the Middle East”.-- Rohan Pearce, CIA front targeted in terrorist attacks, 28 May 2003
How does the CIA do it?
It uses every trick in the book: propaganda, stuffed ballot boxes, purchased elections, extortion, blackmail, sexual intrigue, false stories about opponents in the local media, infiltration and disruption of opposing political parties, kidnapping, beating, torture, intimidation, economic sabotage, death squads and even assassination. These efforts culminate in a military coup, which installs a right-wing dictator. The CIA trains the dictator’s security apparatus to crack down on the traditional enemies of big business, using interrogation, torture and murder. The victims are said to be "communists," but almost always they are just peasants, liberals, moderates, labor union leaders, political opponents and advocates of free speech and democracy. Widespread human rights abuses follow.--Steve Kangas, A Timeline of CIA Atrocities
It is time that people themselves began to demand an end to the un-holy CIA/Israel partnership even if there is precious little that mere 'people' can do against that other 'terrorist' organization: Mossad. There is, however, tremendous political pressure that might be applied to members of Congress and the various 'consulate' offices that the client state of Israel maintains on U.S. soil.

Pakistanis and Indians Dance to America’s Tune

[The following article is not only a good example of what is wrong with both the Pakistani and the Indian media, it is also an excellent example of how American influence distorts what and how is reported in those media. Notice that in this report, the Indian writer cited, tip-toes around the malevolent American intrusion into India's state affairs, and the Pakistani writer ignores the Indian's lack of candor and proceeds to join him in the tip-toeing around any examples that reveal the worst American intrusion into Pakistan's affairs. This is the essence of the CIA formula for subverting any nation, first make a nation's leaders complicit in criminal actions, then undertake new criminal actions which they dare not report to anyone else. The CIA helped both India and Pakistan in their attacks upon the other, now neither side dares to expose American subversion in the region, for fear of exposing their own country's complicity in those crimes.]

By Moayyed Jafri

LAHORE: India and Pakistan must work together in order to keep the American influence out of South Asia, said Prem Shankar Jha, former editor of the Economic Times, Financial Express and Hindustan Times.

Citing an example of the American influence in the region, the renowned Indian journalist said, “India has nothing to do with Afghanistan, which does not share any borders with India, but the Indians were allowed to establish their machinery by the Americans there, which implies that America would be at one hand with Pakistan and at the other with India, turning our two countries against each other”.

He said the US, intentionally or unintentionally, treats India and Pakistan differently on issues so as to develop dissent between the two countries. Thus, he said, the Afghanistan issue has particularly served as a wake-up call for both India and Pakistan, demanding that they need to develop a mutually agreed common strategy for Afghanistan, besides all other such issues where American policy line divides the neighboring nations.

Prem Shankar Jha praised former foreign minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri, saying that Kasuri proved himself a brave man enough to openly dismiss the much-touted allegation that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had backed out of the Kashmir resolution framework which had been agreed by both the countries.

He said Pakistan’s then president Pervez Musharraf had categorically said that he could not sell the mutually agreed framework to his nation because of the chief justice’s movement, which had made him unpopular, and thus he requested that he needed time for it all to settle.

Expressing his reservations over the recently-hyped issue of water between the two countries, he said the Aman Ki Asha dialogue has revealed that this issue has been misreported, exaggerated and intentionally whipped up by some agencies in Pakistan in order to alienate the two countries from each other, because the Kashmir issue is no longer spurring anti-India jingoistic sentiments in Pakistanis.

Stressing the importance of Aman Ki Asha project, he said, “It is so important, as it corrects opinion of the peoples through truthful information-sharing which nullifies the propaganda of certain elements who try to arouse offensive sentiments between the two nations”.

Expressing his perspective on the issue of American Influence, former Indian foreign secretary and ambassador Salman Haider said although Indians and Pakistanis perceive America differently, this does not deny importance of the fact that the two countries need to work against the American influence which has the tendency to disturb Indo-Pak relations.

He said the intent of America cannot be doubted totally, because India is among the top growing economic powers in the world and the US wants to tap into this huge market.

Talking about the dissent and a level of anger that exists in the Pakistanis towards India, he said he is not offended by the sentiments of Pakistanis, as it will take some time for building neutral opinion of the masses through untainted information-sharing, for which Aman ki Asha provides a perfect platform. However, he maintained, all this necessitates time and persistent efforts as there has been a lot of negativity in the past.

Commenting on India’s reaction in the event of a civil nuclear pact with America, he said although it is dealing strictly between Pakistan and the US, there is a distinct possibility that India will have concerned issues with it, just like Pakistan had when the civil nuclear pact between America and India came about.

Much of this has to do with the fact that both the countries do not know what the level of cooperation is extended by the US to either of them which raises concern over perceived threat from each other.

Admiral (Retd) K. Nayyar said a young girl approached him after the dialogue and questioned why India is bent upon killing Pakistani agriculture and people by inflicting a drought through violation of the Indus water treaty.

He said, “This is what misinformation has brought about, and that is why the perspective of the people of both the countries hosts grievances, anger and even aggression”. He said if such propaganda is not checked, the pursuance of peace will meet failure.

He said if the misconceptions harbored by the people of both the nations over the water issue are not removed immediately by the governments, it may develop into the most destructive contention. All the three intellectuals, despite their diverse fields, agreed that there is a need to acknowledge each other’s issues, even if they have serious differences.

Pentagon's Cyber Command: Civilian Infrastructure a "Legitimate" Target


When U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates launched Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) last June, the memorandum authorizing its stand-up specified it as a new "subordinate unified command" under U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM), one that "must be capable of synchronizing warfighting effects across the global security environment as well as providing support to civil authorities and international partners."

As Antifascist Calling reported at the time, Gates chose Lt. General Keith Alexander, the current Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), to lead the new DOD entity. The agency would be based in Ft. Meade, Maryland, where NSA headquarters are located and the general would direct both organizations.

In that piece I pointed out that STRATCOM is the successor organization to Strategic Air Command (SAC). One of ten Unified Combatant Commands, STRATCOM's brief includes space operations (military satellites), information warfare, missile defense, global command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), as well as global strike and strategic deterrence, America's first-strike nuclear arsenal.

Designating CYBERCOM a STRATCOM branch all but guarantees an aggressive posture. As an organization that will unify all military cyber operations from various service branches under one roof, CYBERCOM will coordinate for example, Air Force development of technologies to deliver what are called "D5 effects" (deceive, deny, disrupt, degrade and destroy).

Ostensibly launched to protect military networks against malicious attacks, the command's offensive nature is underlined by its role as STRATCOM's operational cyber wing. In addition to a defensive brief to "harden" the "dot-mil" domain, the Pentagon plan calls for an offensive capacity, one that will deploy cyber weapons against imperialism's adversaries.

As a leading growth sector in the already-massive Military-Industrial-Security-Complex, the cyberwar market is hitting the corporate "sweet spot" as the Pentagon shifts resources from Cold War "legacy" weapons' systems into what are perceived as "over-the-horizon" offensive capabilities.

In association with STRATCOM, the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA), will hold a Cyberspace Symposium, "Ensuring Commanders' Freedom of Action in Cyberspace," May 26-27 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Chock-a-block with heavy-hitters in the defense and security world such as Lockheed Martin, HP, Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI, Cisco, CSC, General Dynamics, QinetiQ, Raytheon and the spooky MITRE Corporation, the symposium seeks to foster "innovation and collaboration between the private sector and government to delve into tough cyber issues." The shin-dig promises to "feature defense contractors and government agencies showcasing their solutions to cyberspace and cyber warfare issues."

During pro forma hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) April 15, Alexander's testimony was short on specifics, as were his written responses to "Advance Questions" submitted to the general by the SASC.

During Thursday's testimony, Alexander told the Senate panel that the command "isn't about efforts to militarize cyberspace," but rather "is about safeguarding the integrity of our military's critical information systems."

"If confirmed" Alexander averred, "I will operate within applicable laws, policies and authorities. I will also identify any gaps in doctrine, policy and law that may prevent national objectives from being fully realized or executed."

What those "national objectives" are and how they might be "executed" are not publicly spelled out, but can be inferred from a wealth of documents and statements from leading cyberwar proponents.

As we will explore below, despite hyperbole to the contrary, CYBERCOM represents long-standing Pentagon plans to militarize cyberspace as part of its so-called "Revolution in Military Affairs" and transform the internet into an offensive weapon for waging aggressive war.

"Switching Cities Off"

While we do not know how Pentagon assets will be deployed, we can be certain their destructive potential is far-reaching. We can infer however, that CYBERCOM possesses the capacity for inflicting irreparable harm and catastrophic damage on civilian infrastructure, and that power grids, hospitals, water supply systems, financial institutions, transportation hubs and telecommunications networks are exquisitely vulnerable.

The potential for catastrophic violence against cities and social life in general, has increased proportionally to our reliance on complex infrastructure. Indeed, most of the networks relied upon for sustaining social life, particularly in countries viewed as adversaries by the United States would be susceptible to such attacks.

In densely populated cities across Africa, Asia, Latin American and the Middle East, even a small number of directed attacks on critical infrastructural hubs could cause the entire network to collapse. The evidence also suggests that the Pentagon fully intends to field weapons that will do just that.

As the National Journal reported in November, in May 2007, "President Bush authorized the National Security Agency, based at Fort Meade, Md., to launch a sophisticated attack on an enemy thousands of miles away without firing a bullet or dropping a bomb."

According to investigative journalist Shane Harris, during the Iraq "surge" Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell, requested and received an order from President Bush for an "NSA cyberattack on the cellular phones and computers that insurgents in Iraq were using to plan roadside bombings."

While corporate media, the Pentagon and the security grifters who stand to make billions of dollars hyping the "cyberwar threat" to gullible congressional leaders and the public, the DOD, according to Harris, "have already marshaled their forces."

Bob Gourley, who was the chief technology officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency told Harris: "We have U.S. warriors in cyberspace that are deployed overseas and are in direct contact with adversaries overseas," and that these experts already "live in adversary networks."

While the specter of a temporary "interruption of service" may haunt modern cities with blackout or gridlock, a directed attack focused on bringing down the entire system by inducing technical malfunction across the board, would transform "the vast edifices of infrastructure" according to geographer and social critic Stephen Graham, into "so much useless junk."

In his newly-published book, Cities Under Siege, Graham discusses the effects of post-Cold War U.S./NATO air bombing campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia as a monstrous instrumentality designed to inflict maximum damage and thereby coerce civilian populations into abandoning resistance to the imperialist hyperpower: the United States.

Much the same can be said of America's "stationary aircraft carrier" in the Middle East, Israel, during its murderous bombing campaign and ground invasion of Gaza during 2008-2009, which similarly targeted civilian infrastructure, reducing it to rubble.

"The effects of urban de-electrification" Graham writes, "are both more ghastly and more prosaic: the mass death of the young, the weak, the ill, and the old, over protracted periods of time and extended geographies, as water systems and sanitation collapse and water-borne diseases run rampant. No wonder such a strategy has been called a 'war on public health,' an assault which amounts to 'bomb now, die later'."

Although critics such as James Der Derian (see: Virtuous War) argue that "new forms of control and governance" are made possible by the modern surveillance state and that "the speed of interconnectivity that the computer enables has, more than any other innovation in warfare from the stirrup to gunpowder to radar to nukes, shifted the battlefield away from the geopolitical to the electromagnetic," exactly the opposite is the case.

Searching for "clean," "sanitized" modes of waging high-tech, low casualty war (for the aggressors), U.S. Cyber Command has been stood-up precisely to deliver the means that enable America's corporate and political masters to "switch cities off" at will, as a tool of economic-political domination.

In this respect, the "electromagnetic" is fully the servant of the "geopolitical," or as Guy Debord reminds us in The Society of the Spectacle: "The current destruction of the city is thus merely one more reflection of humanity's failure, thus far, to subordinate the economy to historical consciousness; of society's failure to unify itself by reappropriating the powers that have been alienated from it."

Part of that "alienation" resides in the chimerical nature of imperialism's quest for high-tech "silver bullets" to assure its continued domination of the planet, despite evidence to contrary in the form of the slow-motion meltdown and collapse of the capitalist economy. The fact is, despite the decidedly "low-tech," though highly-effective, resistance of the people of Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan, our masters will continue to pour billions of dollars into such weapons systems to stave off their "rendezvous with history."

While Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell went to great lengths last year to downplay the offensive role envisaged for Cyber Command, others within the defense bureaucracy are far more enthusiastic.

In a 2008 piece published by Armed Forces Journal, Col. Charles W. Williamson wrote that "America needs a network that can project power by building an af.mil robot network (botnet) that can direct such massive amounts of traffic to target computers that they can no longer communicate and become no more useful to our adversaries than hunks of metal and plastic. America needs the ability to carpet bomb in cyberspace to create the deterrent we lack."

Alexander's equivocal written responses were hardly comforting, nor did they blunt criticism that the Pentagon fully intends to stand-up an electromagnetic equivalent of Strategic Air Command. While promising that CYBERCOM would be "sensitive to the ripple effects from this kind of warfare," as The New York Times delicately put it, Alexander sought to blunt criticism by averring that the Pentagon "would honor the laws of war that govern traditional combat in seeking to limit the impact on civilians."

In written responses to Senate, Alexander went to great lengths to assure the SASC that military actions would comply with international laws that require conformity with principles of military necessity and proportionality.

However, as the Times pointed out, Alexander agreed with a question submitted by the Senate that "the target list would include civilian institutions and municipal infrastructure that are essential to state sovereignty and stability, including power grids, banks and financial networks, transportation and telecommunications."

During questioning by SASC Chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) Thursday, how CYBERCOM would respond to an attack "through computers that are located in a neutral country," Alexander was far more ambiguous. He responded that would "complicate" matters, particularly when it came to the critical question of "attribution."

Despite matters being "complicated" by the fog of war, Alexander didn't rule out an attack on a presumably "neutral" country, even one that unwittingly serves as a "path through."

"Offensive cyber weapons" Alexander wrote, "would only be authorized under specific lawful orders by the [Defense Secretary] and the president and would normally come with supplemental rules of engagement."

While true as far as it goes (which isn't very far!) Alexander's boss, General Kevin Chilton, STRATCOM's commander suggested last year that "the White House retains the option to respond with physical force--potentially even using nuclear weapons--if a foreign entity conducts a disabling cyber attack against U.S. computer networks." (emphasis added)

According to Global Security Newswire, during a Defense Writers Group breakfast last May Chilton told journalists, "I think you don't take any response options off the table from an attack on the United States of America. Why would we constrain ourselves on how we respond?"

Chilton went on to say that "I think that's been our policy on any attack on the United States of America. And I don't see any reason to treat cyber any differently. I mean, why would we tie the president's hands? I can't. It's up to the president to decide."

Hardly comforting words.

In response to an SASC query, Alexander wrote that as Commander his duties include "executing the specified cyberspace missions" to "secure our freedom of action in cyber space."

Among other things, those duties entail "integrating cyberspace operations and synchronizing warfighting effects across the global security environment." According to it's charter, the command will "direct global information grid operations and defense" and execute "full-spectrum military cyberspace operations."

The command will serve "as the focal point for deconfliction of DOD offensive cyberspace operations;" in other words, it will coordinate and act as the final arbiter amongst the various armed branches which possess their own offensive cyber capabilities.

In the Pipeline

Contemporary military doctrine in the United States, but also in Israel, has emphasized the use of overwhelming force as a means to eradicate civilian infrastructure and break a population's resistance, what Graham has called "the systematic demodernization and immobilization of entire societies classified as adversaries."

Whether such force is applied through "traditional" means, aerial bombing preceded or followed by crippling economic sanctions as in Iraq and Palestine, or by the deployment of more "modern" means, cyberwar, state terror has as its primary target the civilian population and crafts its tactics so as to ensure maximal levels of psychological coercion.

This is fully consonant with the Pentagon's goal to transform cyberspace into an offensive military domain. In a planning document, since removed from the Air Force web site, theorists averred:

Cyberspace favors offensive operations. These operations will deny, degrade, disrupt, destroy, or deceive an adversary. Cyberspace offensive operations ensure friendly freedom of action in cyberspace while denying that same freedom to our adversaries. We will enhance our capabilities to conduct electronic systems attack, electromagnetic systems interdiction and attack, network attack, and infrastructure attack operations. Targets include the adversary's terrestrial, airborne, and space networks, electronic attack and network attack systems, and the adversary itself. As an adversary becomes more dependent on cyberspace, cyberspace offensive operations have the potential to produce greater effects. (Air Force Cyber Command, "Strategic Vision," no date, emphasis added)

U.S. campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yugoslavia and Israeli aggressive wars against Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, demonstrate forcefully that contemporary military doctrine now strives to develop the capacity to systematically degrade, as a means of controlling through threats or actual attacks, the infrastructural "glue" that bind entire nations together. There can be no doubt that the Air Force's "Strategic Vision" is now fully integrated into CYBERCOM.

As well, with increasing reliance by the state and its military on high-tech methods of waging war for economic-political-social domination, the self-same methods are appropriated and deployed within heimat societies themselves. Hence, escalating securitization schemes (warrantless wiretapping, watch listing and indexing of "suspect" citizens) are the handmaidens of a generalized militarization of daily life.

What then, are some of the features and future weapons systems being explored by CYBERCOM and their corporate partners? The SASC as part of its confirmation process of General Alexander, has provided a useful summary, Building Cyberwarfare Capabilities in Public Documents.

If anything, the examples cited below clearly demonstrate that CYBERCOM is quietly seeing to it that the "mismatch between our technical capabilities to conduct operations and the governing laws and policies," as Alexander wrote to the SASC, for waging aggressive cyberwar will soon be resolved.
