Worldwide Carrier news roundup

This news is important. While the world focuses on Russia and China the rest of the World is very active. While the news from India and Brazil is to be expected, Japan is clearly preparing for some kind of war. Most definitely is Australia, and the Canberra being completed so quick shows Australia is planning some kind of offensive war, either on Iran or somewhere in the Pacific. Notice the news from Turkey as well, though this comes after Iran’s announcement about developing the ability to build a Carrier, Turkey is scrapping the ex-hms invincible, and may be studying it’s design.


Indian Navy to Buy 4 Landing Ships

Indian Navy issued a tender for 4 landing helicopter-carrying dock ships.

According to Indian defense Ministry A.K. Antony, national defense procurement council has already approved acquirement of four large-size landing ships.

As for the ministry, these ships will improve Indian Navy's landing capabilities and make possible to conduct rescue operations in regions suffered from natural disasters and emergencies.

According to Mer et Marine, Indian Navy command had consulted with domestic shipbuilders, but they could not offer an adequate project. For this reason, the navy sent requests to foreign companies.

As is expected, the tender will be attended by French, Italian, Spanish, and South Korean companies.

Most probably, French DCNS would offer Mistral-class assault landing ship operated by French Navy and purchased by Russia, Spanish Navantia – Juan Carlos I type (Project BPE - Buque de Proyeccion Estrategica), Italian Fincantieri – Multifunction Ship (MS), and South Korean Hanjin Heavy Industries – Dokdo class landing helicopter carrier.

DCNS and Fincantieri have a kind of advantage because they have already signed naval-related contracts with Indian Navy. DCNS builds Scorpene-class submarines and Fincantieri – Deepak-type fuel replenishment tankers. Besides, the Italian company takes part in construction of the first Indian aircraft carrier.

In Sept 2011 Indian Navy and state-led company Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (Calcutta) signed a contract for construction of 8 landing boats LCU to protect islands better and strengthen amphibious fleet. The boats are expected to join Indian Navy in 2013-2015.



Japan To Build Another Carrier

Japan plans to build another helicopter-carrying ship in reply to China's acquirement of its first home-made flattop, reports Korean information agency Cho Sun.

The information that China had started construction of its first aircraft carrier was circulated by Chinese media on Wednesday. Reportedly, the first Chinese-built carrier would be 320-meter long accomodating 50 deck-based aircrafts.

As a reaction, Japan intends to build a helicopter carrier of new type – Project 22DDH – with displacement of 19,500 tons. Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force currently operates two new heli-carriers Hyuga and Ise commissioned in March 2009 and March 2011 respectively. However, a Project 22DDH carrier planned to be put in service in 2015 will be significantly larger with length of 248 meters and 14 helicopters on board. The ship's construction is evaluated as $1.04 bln.

Carriers of the previous type have length of 197 meters, displacement of 13,500 tons, and 11 helicopters on board. Despite smaller size comparing to the Chinese aircraft carrier, the Japanese ship will be equipped with the most up-to-date US-made arms including new onboard air/missile defense system designed by Raytheon.

During WW2 Japanese Navy did operate aircraft carriers, but having lost the war, it renounced the concept of such ships shifting to helicopter carriers which were more effective against basic threat of the post-war period, i.e. Chinese and Soviet submarines. Helicopters based on new ships are mostly ASW-oriented as well. In its turn, China is aware of Japan's possible acquirement of American aircrafts F-35B which easily transform any ASW helicopter-carrying ship into attack aircraft carrier.

Japan seems strongly about to modify Project 22DDH into a full-fledged aircraft carrier. However, analysts regard such possibility with skepticism, since having an aircraft carrier is inexpedient for the country with overall Navy's manpower of 45,000 and being in tight economic situation.

In addition, Japan implements several large military projects; JPY 39 bln have been spent for national 5-gen fighter which is expected to take off in 2014, and JPY 15 bln – for unmanned vehicles and various robots.



Australian Defense Ministry: Construction of Heli-Carriers Goes Ahead of Schedule

Construction of the lead Canberra-class helicopter carrier at Spanish shipyard Navantia is on schedule, the second ship HMAS Adelaide is built ahead of schedule, said Australian defense minister Stephen Smith and minister for defence material Jason Clare on Dec 13 at commissioning ceremony of landing ship HMAS Choules, reports Australian Navy's website.

Recall that Australian Navy tied a $3-bln contract for two prospective helicopter carriers with Navantia in 2007. The hulls are built by Navantia, bridges – by BAE Systems at Williamstown Shipyard in Melbourne; ship assembling will be also carried out by BAE Systems.

At the moment, Navantia has constructed all 105 sections of Canberra's hull, launched her, and conducts finishing works including assemblage of medical compartment, living accommodations, and store rooms. The hull is expected to leave Spain on heavy transport ship in July 2012 and arrive in Melbourne in Aug 2012.

Four bridges and 3 mast elements of HMAS Canberra have been built at Williamstown Shipyard since June 2011. The hull-to-island attachment is scheduled in the end of 2012.

Kiel for HMAS Adelaide was laid down in Feb 2011. By now, 60 out of 105 sections have been mounted on the slipway, 27 are under construction, and 18 are being painted before putting on the slipway. The ship is expected to be launched in third quarter of 2012.

Over 400,000 working hours were spent on the ships' construction in Australia.

Canberra-class landing ships will be the largest warships ever operated by Australian Navy. Displacement is 27,851 tons; length is 230.8 meters; beam is 32 meters; draft is 7.18 meters; speed is 20.5 knots; crew is 243 men (max 279 men), troop capacity is 978 men (max 1,124 men); deck capacity is 3,290 sq meters (up to 100 armored vehicles), helicopter hangar capacity is 990 square meters; air wing is 12-24 helicopters; armament is 4 x 25-mm deck-based stabilized gun mounts.


Brazil would possibly buy two Mistrals

Photo: Mistral class assault landing ship. flot2017.com
Brazilian Navy nourishes an idea to purchase at least two assault landing ships. Those ships should have a "double football ground" deck and be capable to perform wide range of missions – transport infantry, tanks, helicopters, landing craft, missiles, have onboard hospital, and carry out functions of a "sophisticated analytic center", i.e. command ship.

Each of those vessels costs today $600-850 mln. Procurement plan of such ships is considered to be "ambitious". According to Brazilian Navy Commander ADM Julio Moura Neto, acquirement of those ships depends on budgetary funds available; the ship's type has not been chosen so far".

The most competitive suppliers are the US and France. Reportedly, France has developed advanced variant of Mistral class assault landing ship. Russia is about to purchase four such ships.

Assault landing ships must be capable to transport 900-1,400 men of landing party, 280 self-propelled vehicles, and 30 helicopters at the range of up to 5,000 km; operate 10 days autonomously 100 miles away from landing zone. Such ship should have early warning helicopters to support fighters covering the ship. In high seas the ship should be protected by escort ships.

An assault landing ship is virtually autonomous. Apart from helicopters, tanks, armored transport vehicles, and hundreds of marines on board, such ship has a hospital capable to conduct any surgical operations. Sophisticated electronics interfaced with encrypted communication satellite systems is located in command post at the level of 15th floor.

There are some political reasons in favor of these big ships. As is known, Brazil strives for being a member of UN Security Council, and such ships would raise prestige of the country; old aircraft carrier San Paulo plays no part any more. Brazilian Navy plans to purchase 61 ships within 20 years. When having assault landing ships in inventory, Brazil will be able to attend various multinational transcontinental operations, which is a requirement to the world-leading countries.


Turkey is capable to build a carrier – national defense industry
13.05.2011
Text: World Arms Trade Analytic Center
Turkish shipbuilding industry has sufficient capabilities to build an aircraft carrier, said director of Turkey's defense industry department Murad Bayar.

According to him, to create carrier strike group, Turkey should have two new destroyers, one submarine, four missile boats, 40 deck-based fighters, and multipurpose/antisubmarine/antisurface helicopters. The crew of a carrier (depending on dimensions) may number 1,000-5,000 men.

At present, Turkish defense industry covers requirements of national armed forces on 52.1%. Its total turnover has reached $2.7 bln, export – $ 853 mln, annual expenditure on research and development is evaluated as $600 mln.

Getting it right; Naval Ship classifications

If there is one thing that continues to plague people in naval Affairs it is the classification of ships. Namely the fact that a naval force will classify a Warship in a way that does not properly denote it’s fighting capabilitiy. This I have noticed too often today and can elucidate many excellent examples. Among the major culprits are the Iranian, EU/NATO naval forces, and Janes Defense.
Most famously the Iranian Navy has the habit of calling it’s Frigates Destroyers, it’s Corvettes and Fast Attack Craft Frigates, and it’s Command/Logistical Support Ship Kharg a Battleship. While the Kharg can deploy commando units which can take out a Battleship it certainly does not have the armament of a Battleship. In the other instances Iran’s navy has been basing it’s classification on size rather than fighting capability. For Instance Iran classifies the Jamaran class and Alvand class FFG’s as Destroyers, yet the only Destroyers they have the same fighting capability as are the WWII clunkers operated by countries like Pakistan and Taiwan, the Canadian Iroquois class DDG’s which are slightly larger than the Jamaran and most Frigates but have a fire control system more advanced than any FFG, and the Sachsen, Brandenburg, De Zeven Provincen, and Alvaro de Bazan Destroyers, which NATO classifies as frigates, but which in reality have an armament heavier than most Destroyers, in the case of the first two a reduced weapons payload to comply with an antiquated WWII treaties, the same which has plagued Japan, which I will describe later. Interestingly, by this classification Iran has both inspired foreign powers to step up it’s naval arms, for instance Saudi Arabia was going to buy some Type 45 class DDG’s from the UK because of Jamaran until the specifications of Jamaran became public, and continued scorn.
However, a similar type of scorn exists Worldwide for the EU and NATO’s similar underclassification of their Warships. In this instance tonnage and displacement take precedence over fighting capability when deciding how to classify a Warship. In doing so they are giving the false impression that how much a Warship weighs is more important than how it performs in a combat situation. For instance if the FGS Sachsen were to find itself in a combat situation with either a Jamaran class FFG or an Arleigh Burke class DDG the Sachsen could easily neutralize either Warship in a combat situation, not because of it’s tonnage but because of it’s armament. The fact that not only Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain, but also Sweden, Denmark, France, Argentina, and other NATO countries do this shows a lack of understanding of the combat role a Warship plays, focusing instead on the political aspect of such names. In the case of Germany there is a degree of understanding with the constitution they had to adopt after WWII, though with the current World situation this constitution is anachronistic, as is the classification by the other NATO powers. In the case of such ships like the Swedish Visby and Danish Theits class Frigates to call the former a Corvette and the latter a Patrol Boat is simply ridiculous. Not as ludicrious as the British, with their dearth of overclassification names, like offshore patrol vessel, inshore patrol vessel
Most notably Russia and Japan have been messing with these NATO classifications with their new warships. For instance the Russians classify the new Admiral Gorshkov Destroyers as Frigates, the Tatarstan, Steregushchy, and Gremyashchy classes of Frigates as Corvettes, though in the case of the Steregushchy the Russian Navy does call them Frigates on their website, though in doing so the Russians are belittling the combat capabilities of these ships. India behaves in a similar manner, calling the Kamrota, Kora, and Khurki classes of Frigates Corvettes, and the Shivalik class of Warships could be classified as Destroyers with their combat capability.
With the Japanese for them to call their new Hyuga class Helicopter Carriers Destroyers and their Osumi class Amphibious Assault Ships Landing Craft is ludicrous, though like Germany Japan has a constitution given to them after WWII which limits their armed forces, and like Germany the current World situation makes this constitution anachronistic.
Curiously the US navy is now getting in on this, by classifying the new Freedom and Independence classes of Frigates as Littoral Combat Ships. While this demonstrates one of the purposes of construction, the terminology is overelaborate.
When naming classes of Warships one should make sure the name fits the function, and not some political agenda. This is something even the best people in Naval affairs forget.

Update on more shit u/watson weirdness

Recently I learned that simmons is not the only shakeup at brown. Additionally the watson institute has recieved it's fourth director in the four years since I left. Additionally david kertzer has left as brown provost, though he is still with the anthropology dpt.
More noticeable is that brown has pulled their international writers fellowship program, shortly after I talked Shahriar Mandanipour about the misdeeds at brown. Interestingly enough gusenbauer has left watson, though the aga khan has resumed giving money to the middle east studies department, full of the same discredible zionist/cfr asskissers.

Questionable unicef food aid by british and danish royals

What gets me is the fact that both the danish crown couple as well as wills and kate would not eat the prepared genetically modified food, nor would kate try the gm peanut paste, which tells me that both the british and danish are aware this gm food is some form of bioweapon. Bear in mind the health problems gm food causes, or the damage that gm food, mainly monsanto gm food, does to the environment. Not to mention the blatant disregard of non-Europeans shown by both the windsors and glucksburgs, including wills and kate scheduling their wedding on what would have been Prince Ali-Reza's birthday had he not been murdered the January before, or how danish troops have committed acts of brutality against people in Libya.

William and Kate in Unicef visit to Denmark aid centre
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are visiting Denmark to learn more about the work of children's charity Unicef in East Africa.
An estimated 12 million people in the region are at risk of starvation because of food shortages, and famine has been declared in Somalia.
The royal couple are touring Unicef's emergency supply centre in Copenhagen.
The UK is giving £200m in aid to the affected region, £72m of which has been raised through public donations.
Raise profile
After their arrival at the supply centre, the couple were offered a taste of the special high-protein peanut paste which is sent to malnourished children in Africa.
The duke took a sample before passing it on to the duchess, who declined to taste it and passed it over to Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, who accompanied them on the visit.
The crown prince and crown princess also tasted a multivitamin paste, but no-one tried the tray of muffins made with a corn soya blend.
They were given a briefing by Peter Hailey, senior nutritional manager at Unicef, on the crisis threatening the region and details on nutrition and food being provided for people in the area.
After the briefing the two royal couples were taken into the supply centre's warehouse, which is the size of three football pitches, where they helped to pack boxes.
Prince William said he hoped his visit would raise the profile of the charity's work in the region.
'Horrendous situation'
"I think what has touched me the most is probably the fact there's an incredible amount being done," he said. "Unicef are leading the way and they're doing a fantastic job.
"Sadly there's still a lot more to do and that's why we're here today, to try our best to put Unicef ahead of the system again and get as many people as possible realising the truly horrendous situation going on in East Africa."
The duchess said she wanted to remind people who may have forgotten about the crisis.
"I think it was initially a very big story," she said. "A lot of people did hear about it, but I think because it has been going on, people have perhaps lost track of this terrible situation.
"So I think this, hopefully, will put the light back on this crisis.
She added that she was "shocked by some of the statistics and I think other people would be if they'd lost track of the story".
Airport visit
After their tour of the site they attended a private reception at Unicef, which included Unicef ambassador Sir Roger Moore.
Speaking after their meeting, Sir Roger said: "We just discussed what they had seen and what their thoughts were and how glad they were that they came to support this extraordinary appeal.
"They are both very interested in east Africa, they were engaged in Kenya, it's so close to their hearts.
"It was just reiterating their passion for this cause and I think it must be a passion otherwise the royals wouldn't just give up a day of their very busy lives and the high demands there are on them for attending all sorts of functions - and that's apart from the RAF duties of the duke."
The royal couple then arrived at Copenhagen Airport to view a British Airways Boeing 747 before it left to make a relief flight carrying 45 tonnes of aid, including emergency medical supplies, to East Africa.
BA has lent the aircraft to Unicef for a flight to Nairobi in Kenya where the items will be distributed by the charity and other aid agencies.
The duke and duchess spoke to British Airways staff about the amount of aid being taken on board before being shown the interior of the aircraft and the overhead bins full of boxes of supplies.
David Bull, executive director of Unicef UK, said the supplies would help to save the lives of malnourished children.
The worst drought in East Africa in 60 years has resulted in severe food shortages across Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti.
By going to the Unicef centre in the Danish capital, Prince William and Catherine are seeking to maintain a global focus on what is a long-term situation.
Third engagement
A spokesman for St James's Palace said the visit was instigated by the duke and duchess.
He said: "This visit has come about through a mutual meeting of minds between the two royal couples.
"The crown prince and crown princess have already shown a very keen interest in the terrible tragedy that's unfolding in East Africa and the crown princess has been to Kenya.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have personal links in Kenya - they have friends there, they got engaged there, they've visited many times and they've followed the tragedy unfolding not only on the news but also from people they know on the ground."
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, in Copenhagen, says William and his wife attract intense attention wherever they go in the world.
William wants to exploit this interest and focus it on the plight of people living in East Africa, our correspondent adds.
This is the couple's first joint humanitarian mission and their third official engagement since their wedding in April. They flew out on Wednesday morning and will return on the evening of the same day.

Last deployment of the USS Enterprise

People forget the history the Enterprise has had, be it it's involvement
in operation preying mantis, the gulf wars and war on terror, and the
recent attacks on Libya. Despite this being a historic ship it's hull
is very vulnerable to attack, and although this ship deserves to be
preserved, should it be preserved as a museum or a wreck like the
Rafaello in front of the Bushehr reactor. Something could happen with
this ship.

Carrier Enterprise leaves for final deployment

By Christopher P. Cavas - Staff writer
Posted : Monday Mar 12, 2012 5:30:34 EDT

ABOARD THE ENTERPRISE — Accompanied by three blasts of the ship’s horn,
the oldest active warship in the Navy shoved off from Norfolk Naval
Base’s Pier 12 at 11:50 a.m. on a bright, mild Sunday. As big ships
will, the carrier Enterprise moved almost imperceptibly at first,
gradually gaining momentum as she moved silently away from the pier and
backward out of her berth.

A surprisingly small crowd of well-wishers, kept off the pier by
security, watched with little fanfare as the ship’s crew lined the
flight deck and looked back. A group of U.S. Marines, on board as part
of a Marine strike fighter squadron, stood front and center at the
foremost end of the deck. It was a minor blast from the past and
harkened back to the days of the Enterprise’s youth when Marines formed
a portion of every major Navy ship’s company.

A group of officers on board the amphibious ship Mesa Verde, berthed
across from the carrier, rushed to have their picture taken one last
time with the distinctive island structure of the Enterprise in the
background. On the opposite side of the berth, a small group of sailors
gathered on the flight deck of the Navy’s newest carrier, the George H.
W. Bush, to watch the historic departure.

Two helicopters from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 11 lifted off
from the Big E’s flight deck, carrying Navy photographers to document
the 50-year-old ship’s departure on her 22nd and final deployment.
Although it was a Sunday, virtually no spectator craft were present as
the Enterprise shifted into forward gear and headed down the familiar
Norfolk ship channel to the sea. Only a Coast Guard security patrol
escorted the carrier as she passed a handful of spectators on nearby
Fort Monroe.

Off Virginia Beach, the Enterprise — one of the most recognizable ships
ever built — passed a long line of nondescript merchant ships waiting to
enter the Hampton Roads port. Flight operations began as a dozen F/A-18
jets from the four strike fighter squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 1 came
aboard to recertify their flight deck qualifications. The thunder of jet
aircraft continued into the night as the Enterprise steamed under a
million stars and a phosphorescent wake trailed behind.

More than 5,000 sailors on board the ship quickly adopted a seagoing
routine — stowing gear, checking equipment and working out wherever they
could. A workmanlike atmosphere prevailed throughout the 1,123-foot-long
ship.

Shortly after leaving Norfolk, ocean storms already were causing
navigators to adjust the planned course for the Enterprise and her
escorts to cross the Atlantic. The ships would maneuver to avoid the
heavy seas as best they could.

Behind, the strike group was leaving a country where the media featured
daily stories about a virtual civil war in Syria, a deteriorating
political situation in Afghanistan and increasing signs of some sort of
military action against Iran’s nuclear program.

Ahead, the Enterprise and her group faced at least seven and a half
months of steaming on the other side of the world, in a region where
those stories could become far more real at any given moment.

The truth about “esther”

Recently the story of esther has been brought in the news with the zionist drive to attack Iran. Few people realize that the story of esther from jewish traditions which is in the old testament of the bible, is one of the greatest hoaxes ever told.
First, there is no evidence that Khashayar, who the Greeks call xerxes and the jews ahaserus, had a Queen named Esther. Khashayar’s Queen consort was named Amastra, not Esther, and many historians have mislabeled her tomb in modern day Hamadan as the tomb of “esther” by mistranslating Amastra for Esther, however these same historians neglect to mention that Amastra was not of Hebrew or Jewish origin.
These same historians gloss over the fact that a member of Khashayar’s harem was in fact named esther, as this esther is refered to as a banukha, or harem girl. However this esther never had a brother named mordecai nor did she uncover any plot to murder the jews of Hakhamanish Iran. The evidence is not there, and the story only gets traction because the majority of people who read the bible are familiar only with the king james or new international versions, and have never read or researched the original source material.
The modern zionist obsession with the purim festival, supposedly to commemorate the story of “esther”, comes from the execution of julius streicher on October 16, 1946 in Nuremberg. Streicher was of jewish origin, and like many self hating jews in Weimar Germany joined the nazi party. Streicher’s popularity was in his slanderous stories of jewish “atrocities” in the news, and even the nazis stripped him from all positions of power in 1940. At his execution before he was hanged he claimed that this was the 1946 observance of purim, and even said prophetically to the executioner that the communists would hang him. Therefore the observance of purim by Zionists kicks around the myth of “esther” to mask the celebration of the executions of nazis at Nuremberg, notably streicher.
Today one must look at hard facts of established myths who’s only basis for credibility is that they have been repeated so often they are accepted as truth, particularly by people many are hesitant to criticize. The story of “esther” is one of them, and the more we look at it, the more it is seen as another example of jewish lying.

Iran invasion backed by reza pahlavi

Once again reza pahlavi shows he is not fit to call himself Shah or any
kind of leader. The arab spring has made living conditions in Egypt and
Libya worse, as well as in Bahrain, Algreia, Syria, and has only spread
violence in the name of the same radical Islam which khomeini brought to
Iran, and which moderates inside Iran are eroding by themselves. This
statement by reza pahlavi is nothing short of incitement to invasion by
Iran.

Exiled Crown Prince campaigns to bring Arab Spring to Iran

Reza Pahlavi, the son and heir to the last Shah, wants to revive the
opposition by uniting critics of the regime behind a common platform. He
sees Friday’s elections for the Iranian Majlis, or parliament, as an
opportunity.


Calls for a boycott are circulating widely inside the country and
activists hope to push the turnout to a record low.



There have also been warnings from hardliners that President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad was prepared to use the interior ministry to rig the ballot
boxes.



“I believe we can find unanimity among a diverse group of forces for the elimination of a system in which the regime tries everything to claim legitimacy,” the prince said.



“We are waiting for this boycott to show that the regime is only hanging on by sheer terror. The last time Iran voted, the regime was not even willing to tolerate its own candidates. There is no more faith in its system.”



The vote will also, the prince points out, be the first since the Arab
Spring movement transformed the Middle East. At 17, the prince left Iran
for America and has been in exile since his father was deposed in 1979.
A lifetime of opposition to the Islamic regime has left him open to any
form of government that would supplant the current system, including a
constitutional monarchy, a Westminster-style democracy or a
French-modelled presidency.



The prince is vehemently opposed to a military strike on Iran’s nuclear
facilities. As an alternative, he calls for tighter sanctions to be
combined with overt support for the opposition.



“I don’t think anyone in their right mind thinks you could stop the regime from developing nuclear weapons,” he said.



“What you would do is delay it but then give the regime the scope to retaliate. This would be poison. The cost would be huge for the people of Iran. Instead of bringing the state to the point of an uncontrolled explosion with no plan in mind, there is a better alternative.


“We propose a national congress that clearly sets out our proposals for changing the regime.


“You can support this, or try your chances with military action without a clear idea of the outcome.”

Iran attack condoned by american/zionist governments

This news forever shows that Iran can never trusts the governments of
america and israel, and that it must do everything to defend itself.
This also shows that Iranians can not trust members of the jewish
community. While many may dismiss this as talk the threat of invasion
is real, atacks on Iranians in america are real, and zionists
machinations against Iranians are real. Not to mention the history of
lying netanyahu has since Waldheim's days, or the history of the nigger
in the white house bowing to pressure from outside sources. Interesting
this news about the scroll of esther as a gift, as the story of esther
is one of the greatest fabrications in history. Curious that the
zionists are not reporting reza pahlavi now openly backing invasion of
Iran. Or how Russia is organizing the rest of the World to pounce on
america and their zionist backers if war with Iran occurs.

Netanyahu addresses AIPAC (Video: Reuters)

Netanyahu was quick to focus on the nuclear threat posed by Iran: "Every
day, I open a newspaper and read about deadlines and red lines, about
what Israel might do and will do – but I won't talk about that. I will
never talk about that. As the prime minister of Israel, I will not
gamble with its security."

"I want to explain about the dangers of Iran, and why Iran should never
be allowed to develop nuclear weapons," Netanyahu continued.


'If it walks like a duck…'
"President Obama stated clearly that the US wants to prevent Iran from
having nuclear weapons and that… all options are on the table. Israel
has the same policy – we're determined to prevent Iran from having
nuclear weapons and we leave all options on the table.

"Israel has patiently waited for the international community to resolve
this issue. We've waited for

diplomacy to work, we've waited for sanctions to work. None of us can
afford to wait much longer," he said.



"Iran says that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but I say
– if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck
– it's a duck. But this is a nuclear duck! And It is impossible to
believe that the world's most dangerous regime won't use the world most
dangerous weapon.



"A nuclear-armed Iran," he warned, "Will embolden its proxies, like
Hezbollah, to attack Israel and US targets. And they will. They'll be
doing so backed by a nuclear regime. A nuclear-armed Iran could choke
the world's oil supplies. It could blackmail the world on oil."



A nuclear-armed Iran is likely to spark an arms race in the Middle East,
he continued, "And the worst nightmare – a nuclear-armed Iran could
threaten all of us with nuclear terrorism."



"The Jewish state will not allow those who seek our annihilation to
develop such weapons. A nuclear Iran must be stopped," Netanyahu stated.
"When it comes to Israel's survival we must always remain masters of our
fate."

During his meeting with the American president earlier Monday, Netanyahu
reportedly stressed that Israel has yet to reach a decision regarding a
possible strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.



Speaking with reports after the meeting, Netanyahu said that "the
Israeli position was met with understanding."


Obama addressed the AIPAC conference on Sunday and reiterated the United
States' commitment to Israel's defense and security, as well as its
resolve to stop Iran from achieving nuclear weapons.


"Iran's leaders should know that I do not have a policy of containment;
I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. And as
I’ve made clear time and again during the course of my presidency, I
will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United
States and its interests," Obama declared.

WASHINGTON – US President Barack Obama told the AIPAC conference in
Washington Sunday that the United States and Israel "share interests,
but we also share those human values that (President) Shimon (Peres)
spoke about. A commitment to human dignity. A belief that freedom is a
right that is given to all of God’s children."

"Yes, we are bound to Israel because of the interests that we share – in
security for our communities; prosperity for our people; and new
frontiers of science that can light the world. But it is our common
ideals that provide the true foundation for our relationship," said the
American leader, who spoke shortly after Peres.

"That is why America’s commitment to Israel has endured under Democratic
and Republican Presidents, and congressional leaders of both parties. In
the United States, our support for Israel is bipartisan, and that is how
it should stay.



"Four years ago, I stood before you and said that 'Israel’s security is
sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.' That belief has guided my actions as
President. The fact is, my Administration’s commitment to Israel’s
security has been unprecedented. Our military and intelligence
cooperation has never been closer. Our joint exercises and training have
never been more robust.

'We all prefer diplomatic solution.' Obama at AIPAC conference



On the eve of his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama
said that "despite a tough budget environment, our security assistance
has increased every year. We are investing in new capabilities. We’re
providing Israel with more advanced technology – the type of products
and systems that only go to our closest friends and allies. And make no
mistake: we will do what it takes to preserve Israel’s qualitative
military edge – because Israel must always have the ability to defend
itself, by itself, against any threat," the American leader said.



Addressing the Iranian threat, the US president said, "Let’s begin with
a basic truth that you all understand: no Israeli government can
tolerate a nuclear weapon in the hands of a regime that denies the
Holocaust, threatens to wipe Israel off the map, and sponsors terrorist
groups committed to Israel’s destruction. And so I understand the
profound historical obligation that weighs on the shoulders of Bibi
Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, and all of Israel’s leaders.

"A nuclear-armed Iran is completely counter to Israel’s security
interests. But it is also counter to the national security interests of
the United States. Indeed, the entire world has an interest in
preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. A nuclear-armed Iran
would thoroughly undermine the non-proliferation regime that we have
done so much to build. There are risks that an Iranian nuclear weapon
could fall into the hands of a terrorist organization," he added.



"It is almost certain that others in the region would feel compelled to
get their own nuclear weapon, triggering an arms race in one of the most
volatile regions in the world. It would embolden a regime that has
brutalized its own people, and it would embolden Iran’s proxies, who
have carried out terrorist attacks from the Levant to southwest Asia."



The president continued to say that "we all prefer to resolve this issue
diplomatically. Having said that, Iran’s leaders should have no doubt
about the resolve of the United States, just as they should not doubt
Israel’s sovereign right to make its own decisions about what is
required to meet its security needs. I have said that when it comes to
preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no options
off the table, and I mean what I say. That includes all elements of
American power. A political effort aimed at isolating Iran; a diplomatic
effort to sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian program is
monitored; an economic effort to impose crippling sanctions; and, yes, a
military effort to be prepared for any contingency.



"Iran’s leaders should know that I do not have a policy of containment;
I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. And as
I’ve made clear time and again during the course of my presidency, I
will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United
States and its interests," Obama declared.



The American leader also addressed the stalled peace Mideast peace
negotiations, saying, "Of course, there are those who question not my
security and diplomatic commitments, but my Administration’s ongoing
pursuit of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. So let me say this:
I make no apologies for pursuing peace. Israel’s own leaders understand
the necessity of peace. Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister
Barak, and President Peres – each of them have called for two states, a
secure Israel that lives side by side with an independent Palestinian
state.



"I believe that peace is profoundly in Israel’s security interest. The
reality that Israel faces – from shifting demographics, to emerging
technologies, to an extremely difficult international environment –
demands a resolution of this issue. And I believe that peace with the
Palestinians is consistent with Israel’s founding values – because of
our shared belief in self-determination; and because Israel’s place as a
Jewish and democratic state must be protected," Obama added.




PM hands Obama a Megila: Persian plot against Jews
By REUTERS
06/03/2012
“Then too, they wanted to wipe us out,” Netanyahu tells the US president after giving him a gift of the Scroll of Esther.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu handed US President Barack Obama a
gift on Monday that spoke volumes about Israel’s tensions with Iran – an
ancient Hebrew tome about a Persian plot to annihilate Jews, otherwise
known as the Scroll of Esther.

The Scroll, or the Megila, tells a tale of palace intrigue featuring a
Jewish beauty, Queen Esther, who charms a Persian king into foiling an
evil adviser’s genocidal plans for her people some 2,500 years ago.

“Then too, they wanted to wipe us out,” Netanyahu told Obama, according to an Israeli official.

Jews around the world will gather in synagogues on Wednesday to read the
Megila, on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Purim, a celebration of
salvation and of turning the tables on one’s foes.

“And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them,” one of the verses says.

Netanyahu, who has called Iran’s nuclear program a threat to the Jewish
state’s existence, made a point of telling reporters after his White
House meeting with the president that he had given the Megila to Obama.
The Israeli leader, in a frosty meeting with Obama last May, lectured
the president on Jewish history and criticized his approach to resolving
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Netanyahu has also invoked the lessons of the Nazi Holocaust, in which
six million Jews were killed, in citing the dangers he says a
nuclear-armed Iran – the modern-day Persia – would pose.

Obama appealed to Netanyahu at their White House meeting to give
economic sanctions time to work, amid concern that Israel, widely
believed to be the Middle East’s only nuclear power, could strike
Iranian atomic sites.

Iran says it is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes.

Was Zendran set up by occupiers and why?

In viewing the events of the first 10 days in October in the occupy movement and events which occurred around the occupy movement one has every reason to believe that the occupiers wanted revenge on Zendran, for while they had common enemies the difference is that many of them are government provaceturs, acting to hijack movements. Bear in mind that on October 8 2011 I positively identified charles feldman, a RI government official who had looted state funds and misrepresented disabled people, and martin lazzareschi, someone who has impersonated a cop for years, as provaceturs, and that I had blocked the occupy college hill group from merging with the occupy providence group because of the former’s unwillingness to come out in support of local activists harassed by brown university.
The members of occupy providence knew that I’d be travelling to Boston on October 12 and to New York later on October 27 and would have seen firsthand the other occupy movements, and perhaps the other occupiers were afraid I would spot government provaceturs there and out them as well. As the only occupiers who I had talked with at length were jared paul, ike mccarthy, atermis moonhawk, and joyce katzberg, who I later learned had set me up to prevent me from exposing them as provaceturs. In the past jared paul and his friends had coerced me into giving them contact info for CALEA in July 2007 days after the alex svoboda incident, knowing I didn’t attend they threatened to spread rumors I was a snitch for not attending, knowing I had issues with the people who created that incident. I also had confrontations with food not bombs over their vegan supremacist beliefs and with the friends of the our abovementioned at the December 10, 2002 demo against ehud barak and the April 1, 2003 demo against richard perle with friends of the abovementioned provaceturs. As it would turn out the punks who attacked and tried to rob me lived in the same neighborhood as many on the occupy providence provaceturs do.
That the occupy providence punks had the backing of people in government is all too evident when one looks at the facts. The day I was arraigned a teach-in was held at which mike kennedy, the former director of the watson institute and a cfr affiliate, gave a speech
http://www.browndailyherald.com/occupy-teach-in-draws-full-house-in-salomon-1.2651788#.T1Jg8XnLvAk
Additionally both RI governor lincoln chafee, RI senator sheldon whitehouse, RI congressman cicilline, and providence mayor taveras openly came out in support of the occupiers, which was one of the main reasons for the cops not shutting them down, and it was only from popular outrage that the occupiers finally decided to end their encampment. All four of those political figures have had serious issues with me and each would have had an excuse to want me out of the way.
This is particularly true for cicilline, who had targeted me for police harassment while providence mayor, for my investigating him on accusations of rape in 1998 while working as an advocate when he was a RI state legislator. In the case of chafee I had spoken with a member of the US Army on how chafee and other RI political leaders had lied in exaggerating the damage caused by Hurricane Irene. I had also mentioned to that Army soldier about my travel plans for October 12, 2011, namely how I had planned to meet with firouz naderi later that day at a talk he was giving about life outside earth. Seeing how I had documented how the strange weather of September 30/October 1 2011 was caused by ET’s and the strange objects that had appeared in the sky over Boston around the same time this must be mentioned.
