Iran seeks swap of Brits for suicide attackers

Report says 40 Revolutionary Guard 'volunteers' held by UK

Iran apprehended British military personnel and Navy vessels earlier this week in order to secure release of 40 "suicide operations volunteers" held by the UK, according to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard source.

The source told the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the British Army command in Iraq received the demand from the Revolutionary Guard, reported the Middle East Media Research Institute.

According to the source, the content of the message was very simple: "Release our comrades, whom you are holding, and we will release your soldiers."

This post #55 should be sent to every newspaper and radio station show host that you can find.

If possible send it ready to read, if not the URL alone may not get clicked.

Unless you are big time, the show host does all the research and 'info hunting' for himself.

If we want the public to be aware of what is really going on, then we need to use our best efforts to tell them.

That is the Beauty of Free Republic, it requires a link and proof that the report is real, or you must identify it as a "Vanity" or opinion article.

It might even help if such as this were sent to the politicians, if one each day read it, maybe the politics would take a turn to being what they should be.

this report is not on CNN.

Maybe there is a larger need than you have realized, the
KDWN radio a few moments ago, did the weekly emergency test.

There was one minute of silence.

The connection to the emergency system never happened, there was not a sound from them.

Only the local announcers voice.

OK, this was first cup of coffee thoughts. Now that I don't have email, I can no longer supply the stations that I have forwarded to for years.

From the article: "Meanwhile his next door neighbor says Crooker was in and out of the apartment in all hours with packages wrapped in paper.

In 1987, Crooker was sentenced to up to five years in prison after being convicted of fraud charges and admitting to illegally possessing a machine gun."

I wonder if he's a prison convert

Have you tried any of the free e-mail services? I recently got my hands on the beta-test of googlemail. I am sure it would run on just about any computer. I should be getting 3 invites in the next day or two if you are interested in trying it out.

I found this on the forums yesterday

@ the madness before the withdrawal :
# the greatest hitting appeared in America or its outside ¿ !
# the coming greatest hitting is its consequences and their traces : do they be dropping or no .
# the hitting influence extent on the directions of the falcons .

Is that what you were asking about?

The Religion Of Peace..........



FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN
Radical Islam's 'plan'
to take over America
Arab-American author outlines secret
20-year strategy to undermine country



Posted: August 4, 2003
1:00 a.m. Eastern

Editor's note: Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin is an online, subscription intelligence news service from the creator of WorldNetDaily.com – a journalist who has been developing sources around the world for the last 25 years.

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

A refugee from the Muslim Middle East thinks he has discovered Islam's 20-point plan for conquering the United States by 2020 – a plan revealed in the latest issue of Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Anis Shorrosh, author of ''Islam Revealed'' and ''The True Furqan,'' is a Christian Arab-American who emigrated from Arab-controlled Jerusalem in January 1967.

''The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020,'' Shorrosh says. ''Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?''

1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities who promote Islam as the religion of African-Americans while insisting Christianity is for whites only. What they fail to tell African-Americans is that it was Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves. In fact, the Arabic word for black and slave is the same, ''Abed.''

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office to bring about favorable legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible by buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of the imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – black gold. America’s economy depends on oil and 41 percent of it comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran'' anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions and get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. (Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?) Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:


Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961).

Use no birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years – since one can't legally marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2,000 released inmates have joined al-Qaida worldwide). Only a few ''sleeper cells'' have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil.
10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1,500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are currently 300 exclusively Muslim schools in the U.S. which teach loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution. In January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America's high schools – free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish ''Centers for Islamic studies'' with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher-education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, when in truth, Islam hijacked the terrorists.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans with reports of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls.

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not America's justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S., but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting freshman take at least one course on Islam.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by Internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the U.S. by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

Shorrosh is a member of the Oxford Society of Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries, and is a lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. ''Islam Revealed'' is a bestseller now in its eighth printing. His forthcoming 10th book, from which the 20-point plan is abridged, is titled ''Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.''

How we deal with data here occasionally needs to be reviewed against a standard - reality. Since today is the 24th, it provides an opportunity to review a great deal of discussion about what was to have occurred yesterday (23 June) ranging from an astroid impact to a massive terrorist strike. Intelligence circles 'rate' the sources according to their accuracy. Were the sources accurate this time? What needs to be learned to sift out the bogus from the real for the next time? Not trying to cause any flaming or ill feelings but this is an intergral part of the intelligence cycle - evaluating the data.

Many tears were shed that day and disbelief and anger. Where is the anger now? Our lives will never be the same.

The tears, the disbelief and the anger - all forgotten. Saddest of all is that a large percentage of the people in NYC and the tri-state area seem to have moved on. I don't think a day has gone by since 9/11 that all of us here haven't thought about some aspect of that day or the aftermath, or the WOT or the continuing threat. This week in particular I've been thinking a lot about it. nwctwx - you're right, we should have declared war from the beginning but I don't think it would make much of a difference in the way the media covers the story or the leftists in Congress undermine the President. The WOT is going to take years and too many people just don't have the stomach for it. They want it over yesterday.

Old article linking Iran and Cuba, but could offer insight:

BRINGING THE TERRORISTS TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF TERROR
By Georgie Anne Geyer

WASHINGTON -- There is something a little strange about taking some hundreds, probably soon thousands, of al-Qaida prisoners from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. No, it is not just strange; it is downright spooky -- but perhaps it is also, even subconsciously, meant as a slap in the face to the Cuban regime. For the United States is doing the transporting, right? The prisoners are shackled and hooded, right? Dangerous compadres, right? They should surely be taken to a place where terrorism is far away. And yet, taking the prisoners to the American base called "Gitmo" -- which the U.S. has occupied on the easternmost end of Cuba since 1903 and against the enraged will of Cuban President Fidel Castro since 1959 -- is in many ways like taking them right into the lion's mouth. In the 1950s, for instance, when Fidel was plotting his revolution in Mexico and Cuba, the Cuban revolutionary leader himself pioneered many of the guerrilla and terrorist techniques that have swept and threatened the world. He kidnapped American servicemen within Cuba; he staged the first hijacking; he spread across Latin America, Asia and Africa the most lethal maxims of guerrilla warfare and terror to defeat the enemy, which was "imperialism" everywhere and the U.S. in particular. Ah, you might well say at this point, but that was all an experience of the past; those days are long gone.

Well, not quite. In fact, only early in December, President Castro enthusiastically hosted in Havana the 10th annual meeting of the Sao Paulo Forum, an international coalition of leftist and anti-American groups that includes members from the Colombian narco-guerrilla groups the FARC and the ELN, the Peruvian MRTA, the Chilean MIR, as well as from Iraq and Libya, two governments long involved with terror and so cited by the U.S. government. Not only did this forum vociferously criticize American "imperialism," which "since Sept. 11 has found another pretext to extend its power throughout the world, resulting in its traditional trail of violence, hunger, sickness and death," but on a larger scale, Fidel Castro's considerable biotechnology program has come under increasing suspicion. There are now too many testimonies -- from former Soviet scientists, as well as others -- that Castro is developing bioterrorism capacities and even selling some to Iran not to believe them. (In fact, when the Cuban president visited Iran last May, one of the things he said was, "Iran and Cuba, in cooperation with each other, can bring America to its knees.") So what are we to make of this new development -- where the United States, seemingly victorious in a war against very real terrorism half a world away -- is now actually transporting those dangerous men to a hostile island with its own terrorist history? The most surprising thing is that Cuban President Fidel Castro publicly has welcomed the Afghan prisoners. At least, he has said he has "no objection" to their presence. But this is surely only one of his acceptances of things he cannot change, for suddenly new waves of the sea-change war against terrorism are breaking around him. One of the new scandals involving Cuba occurred only recently when IRA (Irish Revolutionary Army) officials based in Havana were found in Colombia instructing the Colombian narco-guerrillas in urban warfare. Not only would this mark a totally new stage for the rural-based Colombian guerrillas, but IRA political leader Gerry Adams also just made a personal visit to Havana, obviously to coordinate plans. Ah, but this is not the end of the story, either, for in these same days that the Afghan prisoners were being transported to Guantanamo, the until-now hesitant Colombian President Andres Pastrana suddenly declared his own patient negotiations with his guerrillas at an end! We are clearly at a new point in the entire saga, the next act in the terrorist drama, in which the "play" has moved to secondary, but related, conflicts: the Philippines, for instance, probably Somalia and Yemen, and now the Caribbean. It is unclear now whether the United States, which has been supporting Colombian President Pastrana in his fight against the narco-guerrillas, urged him to move at this time. But this week, when he threatened to move immediately to take over the large part of Colombian land he had given the guerrillas to encourage them to make peace, it was clear that a new stage had opened there, too. Meanwhile, the United States was using Guantanamo because it still is officially Cuban, not American, land; that fact eliminates many questions about the rights of prisoners and detainees. In a piece of great political irony, Fidel, who always saw his island as a safe base to threaten the world, must surely feel the world closing in on him in ways he never imagined.
