Terrorism and its use of satellite tv

http://www.nypost.com/seven/05022009/postopinion/opedcolumnists/terrorism_via_our_airwaves_167196.htm

Hezbollah's station Al-Manar has been used to transmit Hezbollah propaganda in America and the misuse of the democratic media can never be condoned or taken for granted as this landmark conviction illustrates. Javed Iqbal was truly the culprit in this matter and preyed on the naivete of a section of the American public in gaining Hezbollah recruits. The crime is devastating, as much so as perpetrating the Hezbollah crimes. They can strike terror beyond the Middle East and use the very democratic institutions in our mainstream as our worst enemy.

Assistant US Attorney Eric Snyder pinned the Hezbollah label on Brooklyn
businessman Javed Iqbal, who in December pleaded guilty to aiding terrorists
through his activity in America. He was sentenced to six years in prison last
week.
Iqbal's crime was accepting payment to facilitate the satellite-TV
transmission of Hezbollah's station, Al-Manar. Hezbollah has been on the US
government's list of foreign terrorist organizations since 1997, and America
made it illegal to deal with Al-Manar three years ago

Iran created Hezbollah in the '80s as a proxy to aid in its goal of spreading Islamic revolution in the Middle East and beyond. With $100 million annually in Iranian support and arms supplies from the Syrians, Hezbollah has grown into a formidable military force in Lebanon.
In 1995, Hezbollah entered Lebanese politics, winning 14 seats in the 128-member parliament. In the fractured Lebanese political system, analysts say Hezbollah and its allies could win the most seats in the coming elections, on June 7.
Hezbollah's raison d'etre is to further Iran's radical Islamist agenda through violence. Hezbollah was responsible for murdering more Americans than any other group before 9/11 -- 258 in the 1983 bombings of the US Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut. At Iran's behest, Hezbollah devastated the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, proving that the terror group can strike with precision beyond the Middle East.

Temple of the Sphinx the secret entrance

http://www.galactic.to/rune/pyrmyst.html

The exact stone showed only a hairline crack . It would slide inward by a verbal command using proper key words and vibrational pitch. I do not know the allusion to the original scripture found in Greece. The exact entrance to the Temple of the Sphinx is well guarded and know to a select few after 10978 years.The temple as shrine of breathtaking splendor is explained below:

• the maze of marble walls and abutments-In that maze lay a secret door and a downward passage to the tomb beneath the pyramid.


• magnetic forces play a role in the actual door opening


• the 2nd unknown ropute is under the base of thehidden tomb or the chamber of Records.


• Discovery of entrance to thwe secret passage is considered a sacrilege, impious and imprisonment or execution would ensue.
  

However, a select few people of this expedition (including this author)
were well aware of a secret entrance and some sort of an inner passageway that
up to that date in June 1976 had escaped detection from those who scanned its
surfaces with the finest of instruments. As I indicated in this book's
introduction, the entrance was only discovered after forty years of intensified
research, mishaps, trials and errors and the interference by the Egyptian
government officials.
In entering the Pyramid through this secret passage,
one must accept the fact that if anyone were discovered during this process,
either by the Egyptian officials or the guards of the grounds, imprisonment or
execution would be the immediate order of the day with no amnesty for those who
participated in such an atrocity against that government. To re-brief you of the
secret entrances to the subterranean chambers, there are two unknown routes (now
known to all who read this documentation). One such entrance is located near the
top of the Pyramid where magnetic forces play a major role in the actual door
opening, (exact location to be withheld) and the other being an under the base
of the hidden tomb, or Chamber of records.
The exact entrance location, near
the top, was not really pinpointed until a thorough examination was made of
every stone within a range of ten terraced layers and every block between - to
the apex. Even after the ancient scrolls were translated, much difficulty arose
in finding the exact stone that showed only a hairline crack between the actual
cement fill and the stone itself. Simply walking past each stone at a very slow
pace would not reveal such a tiny hairline crack and for this reason, many
frustrating months passed without a trace of such a block that would slide
inward by a mere verbal command (using the proper key words and vibrational
pitch). (they seemed to use a taperecorder for this and had understood that it
had something to do with sound after long interpreted the original scripture
found in Greece .R.Ø.remark.)
The exact entrance to the Temple of the Sphinx
has also remained a wellguarded secret, although after 10,978 years, it is now
known to a select few. This Temple is a shrine of extreme beauty with its
breathtaking splendor of gold inlays with sprays of precious jewels at the
secret altar, arches of unusual architecture, highly polished marble walls of a
pinkish tint and pure silver floor inlays of unusual hieroglyphics. Somewhere on
the maze of marble walls and abutments, lay a secret door and a downward passage
to the tomb beneath the Pyramid of Gizeh. Today, both the Pyramid and the Sphinx
are heavily guarded by a 24-hour vigil of armed Egyptians - and tourists tread a
thin line around and within a structure.

The shatter zones of Eurasia and the return of the primacy of geography

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4862 through p2 par 1.

I have always been an avid reader of FP's articles especially this one reasserting a Hobbesian view of the world and "the revenge of geography" as the sine qua non factor in our equation of "realism" and the gauging of human events.

• The article argues that globalization is reinforcing the fragmenting of the world and a determining factor is geopolitics (a "specter" term)


• Conflict and instability the hallmarks of this age are the product in part of the geography of world regions,especially the shatter zones of Eurasia.


• We must reclaim Braudel's environmental interpretation of events especially in the light of the primacy of global warming,climate change, warming Arctic seas. This occasions the weakening of social orders and other man made creations.


• There is little room for human agency and the liberal humanists are a bit uneasy about the implication of these theories. Note the shatter zones of Eurasia.


• We should seek out those thinkers of "uneasiness".Fernand Braudel,Alfred Thayer Mahan(the primacy of ther Indian ocean determining events in the 21st century).

So now, chastened, we have all become realists. Or so we believe. But
realism is about more than merely opposing a war in Iraq that we know from
hindsight turned out badly. Realism means recognizing that international
relations are ruled by a sadder, more limited reality than the one governing
domestic affairs. It means valuing order above freedom, for the latter becomes
important only after the former has been established. It means focusing on what
divides humanity rather than on what unites it, as the high priests of
globalization would have it. In short, realism is about recognizing and
embracing those forces beyond our control that constrain human action—culture,
tradition, history, the bleaker tides of passion that lie just beneath the
veneer of civilization. This poses what, for realists, is the central question
in foreign affairs: Who can do what to whom? And of all the unsavory truths in
which realism is rooted, the bluntest, most uncomfortable, and most
deterministic of all is geography.
And yet, to embrace geography is not to accept it as an implacable force
against which humankind is powerless. Rather, it serves to qualify human freedom
and choice with a modest acceptance of fate. This is all the more important
today, because rather than eliminating the relevance of geography, globalization
is reinforcing it. Mass communications and economic integration are weakening
many states, exposing a Hobbesian world of small, fractious regions. Within
them, local, ethnic, and religious sources of identity are reasserting
themselves, and because they are anchored to specific terrains, they are best
explained by reference to geography. Like the faults that determine earthquakes,
the political future will be defined by conflict and instability with a similar
geographic logic. The upheaval spawned by the ongoing economic crisis is
increasing the relevance of geography even further, by weakening social orders
and other creations of humankind, leaving the natural frontiers of the globe as
the only restraint.
So we, too, need to return to the map, and particularly to what I call the
“shatter zones” of Eurasia. We need to reclaim those thinkers who knew the
landscape best. And we need to update their theories for the revenge of
geography in our time.
If you want to understand the insights of geography,
you need to seek out those thinkers who make liberal humanists profoundly
uneasy—those authors who thought the map determined nearly everything, leaving
little room for human agency.
One such person is the French historian
Fernand Braudel, who in 1949 published The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean
World in the Age of Philip II. By bringing demography and nature itself into
history, Braudel helped restore geography to its proper place. In his narrative,
permanent environmental forces lead to enduring historical trends that preordain
political events and regional wars. To Braudel, for example, the poor,
precarious soils along the Mediterranean, combined with an uncertain,
drought-afflicted climate, spurred ancient Greek and Roman conquest. In other
words, we delude ourselves by thinking that we control our own destinies. To
understand the present challenges of climate change, warming Arctic seas, and
the scarcity of resources such as oil and water, we must reclaim Braudel’s
environmental interpretation of events.

So, too, must we reexamine the blue-water strategizing of Alfred Thayer Mahan, a U.S. naval captain and author of The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783. Viewing the sea as the great “commons” of civilization, Mahan thought that naval power had always been the decisive factor in global political struggles. It was Mahan who, in 1902, coined the term “Middle East” to denote the area between Arabia and India that held particular importance for naval strategy. Indeed, Mahan saw the Indian and Pacific oceans as the hinges of geopolitical destiny, for they would allow a maritime nation to project power all around the Eurasian rim and thereby affect political developments deep into Central Asia. Mahan’s thinking helps to explain why the Indian Ocean will be the heart of geopolitical competition in the 21st century—and why his books are now all the rage among Chinese and Indian strategists.
