A Shia man was shot by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) supporters as he was leaving an Islamic prayer center in southwest Sydney, according to eyewitnesses.

"Gonna crack some heads now mate!"

The 47-year-old victim, identified as an Iraqi Shia leader at the center, suffered superficial pellet wounds to the face and shoulders, and is currently awaiting surgery in a Sydney hospital.

A witness, who did not give his name, alleged that before the shooting, the attackers drove by hurling insults at Shias gathered near the center.

"They called us ‘Shia dogs’ and they threatened to come back down tonight and kill you, shoot you, whatever," the witness told ABC Radio.

Prior to the shooting, the attackers drove by several times shouting "IS lives forever," according to the witness. Others confirmed they heard a group of men yell: "ISIS is coming" and "ISIS will stay."

The Islamic State, which is waging a bloody insurgency in Iraq and Syria, has announced the creation of a caliphate in the region. The Sunni IS fighters consider all other religions heretical, including other branches of Islam and have imposed a restrictive version of Sharia law on the seized territories, beheading, crucifying and stoning those who are non-compliant.

In Sydney, the victim was reportedly locking up the center and getting ready to head home as he was shot early on Monday morning.

Several hundred members of the Shia community were at the Islamic center for a prayer gathering commemorating the death of Imam Hussein, one of Prophet Mohammed’s grandsons, according to Jamal Daoud, a Shia who attended the meeting.

AU can look forward to U.S. style "policing"

Daoud said that lately threats have escalated to violence as sectarian tensions have come to a head. 

On Friday, three unidentified men punched a Shia guard at the center.

"These people have been conducting a campaign of intimidation for the past few weeks. I talk to many of the people in the community and they're very concerned and they're very scared," Daoud told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Welcome to America, Australia:  "You have the right to be arrested without cause, the right to have the shit kicked out of you for simply asking why, the right to rot in jail without charge.."  Be afraid Diggers - BE VERY AFRAID

Meanwhile, police are investigating the motives for shooting.

"At this point in time, it does not appear that there is any type of motivation for the shooting," said Police Inspector Dave Firth.

Rampant Terror In Mexico

Mexico is a failed state, should be sealed off and then cleansed by the U.S. military - preferably the Marine Corps who have an axe to grind with the narco-cops and judiciary following the illegal imprisonment of USMC Sgt. Andrew Tahmoressi - BOYCOTT MEXICO    

STRATEGIC CULTURE FOUNDATION

The criminal statistics in Mexico are shocking. The US special services do what they want on Mexican soil. There are no restrictions whatsoever. Many Mexicans perceive it as occupation. The practice is justified by the need to fight drug trafficking though US specialists have hardly reached any great achievements to be praised for – drug flows to the US are on the rise. 

American dollars should not support THIS

Former Mexican President Calderon promised to make a short work of drug dealers and do away with drug business forever. According to official data, around 103 thousand people were killed during his tenure. Incumbent President Enrique Peña Nieto is in power for 14 months. Drug traffickers have murdered at least 24 thousand. Shootings, decapitations, dismembered bodies and reprisals against women and children have become routine. The video clips of committed crimes are posted to Internet for intimidation. 

At least 100 journalists have lost their lives in the recent years. 400 Americans have been killed. Many of them were suspected of being CIA or DEA agents. 

The spread of drug terror in Mexico is compared to what it was like in Colombia. It’s not an occasion that following the US embassy’s advice President Enrique Peña hired Colombian General Oscar Naranjo to become his top External Security Advisor who knows how to fight drug trafficking. Mexican La Jornada called the General “a US export commodity for Latin America”. Naranjo hit the spotlight as the one who organized the self-defense groups to fight guerilla forces. At least seven thousand Mexican policemen and military have gone through a training course run by Colombian instructors learning how to fight the no rules war. 

If the Obama administration wants to conduct "humanitarian missions" Mexico with it's geographic location close to America should be first on the list

By the end of September in the town of Iguala, 120 miles south of Mexico City, 43 student teachers came in buses to stage protests against the education reform and the plans to close elementary schools for the poor. They were rounded up by police, then marched into the hills and apparently massacred. The death toll was 6 with 20 wounded. 43 students were detained, their fate is still unknown. 

Teachers were the first to ring alarm. At the beginning the central government tried to use local strife for explanation and shift the blame on local powers – Jose Luis Abarca, the mayor of the town of Iguala, and then on Angel Aguirre, the governor of Guerrero state. They failed. The facts impossible to conceal surfaced. The operation against the students was conducted upon the orders of the Iguala’s mayor who wanted to make the “subversive elements” from the teachers school learns a lesson. Police also received orders from mayor's wife Maria de Los Angeles Pineda Villa who comes from a family with known ties to the Beltran Leyva cartel. She acted as a link with the cartel called United Warriors (Guerreros Unidos) that paid $200-300 thousand for protection. A large part of this sum was allocated for the pre-election campaign of Guerrero’s governor who was the cartel’s insider. 

There is no justification for allowing this to exist just South of the U.S. border

According to one of the story’s versions, United Warriors were asked to solve the students’ problem. As search and rescue operation went on in Iguala, dozens of hidden months and years old burial places were found. 

The process of mass extermination hits no glitches on the Mexican soil. The cartel prefers to hide corpses in city’s garbage dumps. The bodies found by investigators are still to be identified. Casarrubias Salgado, the head of the cartel, and some accomplices, including policemen, expedited the investigation procedures to make the head of police, the mayor and his wife run away. The Guerrero’s governor resigned. 

To exercise the control over the situation in Iguala and neighboring populated areas the central powers called in federal law enforcement agencies but tensions continue to grow. The people of Mexico are concerned. The fate of students is still not known. 

The government affirms the students are kept in a secret cartel’s prison. It says their liberation is a matter of time but Mexican bloggers don’t believe it, they think the students are dead for more than a month. President Enrique Peña Nieto is dragging time to cool the indignation down. He met the students’ relatives for six hours to let them speak out their minds and promised to an urgent solution with a happy end. 

There other events to add to what happened in Iguala. Charred bodies of four Texans were found in the state of Tamaulipas. The Americans came to Mexico in early October for vacation. The bodies were burnt and had gunshots to the head. According to witnesses, the youngsters were detained by members of the Hercules Group, a police unit that provides security to the mayor of Matamoros, Norma Leticia Salazar. The representatives from the U.S. Consulate and the FBI joined the search. Tamaulipas is notorious as the country’s number one state caught in the iron grip of organized crime linked to drug trafficking. The terror continues to go on a rampage in Mexico. 

A country degrades if there is no law and order. Washington does not need a strong and independent Mexico. Today it is often called a failed state. 

Many Mexicans still recall former President Lasaro Cardenas, the unmatched leader of the country. 

During his tenure (1934-1940) a law was enforced to allow the government nationalizes foreign companies. In 1938, no matter tough resistance offered by the United States and Great Britain, oil producers were expropriated to establish the state company PEMEX. After Cardenas there have been no real national leaders in Mexico able to offer resistance the United States. Many Mexican presidents came to power thanks to the CIA. The operation LITEMPO is a good example. Winston Mackinley Scott, a Central Intelligence Agency officer, served as Mexico City station chief from 1956 to 1969. He launched the operation recruiting agents and collaborators, and gained then Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos, as well as Gustavo Diaz Ordaz and Luis Echeverria. He liked to call himself a US proconsul in Mexico. Nothing has changed since then except the growing political and financial dependence of Mexican presidents on the United States. 

BOYCOTT MEXICAN VACATIONS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES

Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderon and Enrique Pena Nieto are all the heroes of pro-US movie serials. Others, especially those who propagate populist views, are rejected by Washington like, for instance, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the two-time presidential contender in 2006 and 2012. The Mexican presidents controlled by the United States are unable to put an end to drug trafficking. 

The US ghost economy needs the inflow of drug money and nobody is going to tighten the faucet. But the rampant drug trafficking has started to hit snags on the way. The disappearance of the students in the estate of Guerrero with the investigation still not over has become the grim and gloomy page in the contemporary Mexican history.

Win Ugly Or Lose Pretty : "Dr. Evil" Lobbyist Teaches U.S. Oil And Gas Execs To Play Dirty

As if oil company criminals need tutoring on this subject: Exxon destroyed Alaska, BP the Gulf of Mexico and are now working on the heartland of America    

RT

A top US political consultant, dubbed “Dr. Evil”, has been caught on tape at an industry conference, advising oil and gas execs to regard public policy as "endless war" and to play on people's fear and greed to lobby their interests.

Alaska's Prince William Sound never recovered 

Richard Berman's speech, which he gave in June in Colorado Springs, was leaked to The New York Times by one of the participant's at the conference who said: "It just left a bad taste in my mouth". The whistleblower asked for their identity not to be revealed. 

"If you think about it these groups: the Sierra Club - who is the natural enemy of the Sierra Club? Who is the enemy of Greenpeace? You know at the surface, you would love to be a group like that because everyone should be in favor of you, who could be against you? 

That’s very difficult to overcome, and they play on that, and they trade on that, and that's our opportunity and also our challenge. So, it is an endless war." 

To win the war, the veteran lobbyist told the crowd to "marginalize" their opponents: "You can either win ugly or lose pretty," the founder and chief executive of the Washington-based Berman & Company consulting firm declared, noting that "wherever possible, I like to use humor to minimize or marginalize the people on the other side." 

Satan in a business suit:  Berman

"I get up every morning and I try and figure out how to screw with the labor unions - that’s my offense. I am just trying to figure out how I am going to reduce their brand." 

According to Berman, who has waged campaigns against labor unions, animal rights activists and environmentalists, the battle is usually worth millions. "I think $2 to $3 million would be a game changer,"he said. "We’ve had six-figure contributions to date from a few companies in this room to help us get to where we are," he said, adding that anonymity is key to success.

"People always ask me one question: ‘How do I know that I won’t be found out as a supporter of what you’re doing?’ We run all of this stuff through nonprofit organizations that are insulated from having to disclose donors. There is total anonymity. People don’t know who supports us. We’ve been doing this for 20-something years in this regard," he explained.

The June 2014 Western Energy Alliance conference featured representatives from Anadarko Petroleum, Halliburton Company, ExxonMobil, Devon Energy, and Noble Energy. 

BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico destroyed the habitat for the foreseeable future along with the lives and livelihoods of Gulf Coast residents

According to the New York Times, Berman has recently solicited up to $3 million from oil and gas industry executives to finance an advertising and public relations campaign called Big Green Radicals. 

Berman said that a sure way to win public support on this or that issue is to confuse people to the point where they can't tell right from wrong and finally give up. 

Obama once more manipulating gas prices before elections

A vice president of Berman & Company, Jack Hubbard, suggested "branding" entire movements, such as anti-fracking movements, as "not credible." 

"What we wanted to do is brand the entire movement behind this as not being credible and anti-science." 

"Fear and anger have to be part of this campaign. If you want to win, that's what we're going to do. We're not going to get people to like the oil and gas industry over the next few months," Berman stated. 

"If you want a video to go viral, have kids or animals," he remarked, showing a spot his company created featuring schoolchildren taking part in a mock union election — to imply that union bosses have "childish" elections. 

"There is nothing the public likes more than tearing down celebrities and playing up the hypocrisy angle,"Mr. Hubbard wrapped up.

Claims Emerge Of "Secret Sex Room" At Top Jakarta International School

Possible CIA connection surfaces; FOIA on FBI JIS investigation in the works  

YAHOO 7 NEWS
10/28/2014

An international school in Indonesia has been accused of drugging and raping children as young as five, hiring pedophiles and trying to cover the whole thing up.

Jakarta International School has been embroiled in allegations of gang rape and the video taping of abuse after the parents of a five-year-old boy alleged that cleaners in the school toilets had anally raped him.

The parents of the child say that he became increasingly aggressive, and started having night terrors in which he screamed, “Please don’t hurt me, please let me go”, according to The Independent.

The school educates more than 2000 children and is one of Asia’s top schools. The allegations shocked the rich ex pat community to which is partially serves.

A medical exam of the boy was said to have revealed anal infections, pus and lesions.

Six cleaning contractors were arrested with four of the five men later admitting to the abuse.

They later retracted their statements, saying they were obtained under torture, The Independent said.

The fifth man died in custody from an apparent suicide.

A second allegation came when another mother claimed her son had also been attacked by cleaners, but had managed to fight them off.

The mother alleges that her son’s abusers were school administrator Neil Bantleman and Indonesian teacher’s assistant Ferdinand Tjiong. They deny the allegations.

The parents of the first child who initially made the first allegation against staff launched a $14 million lawsuit just as details emerged that US paedophile William Vahey had worked at the school from 1992 to 2002.

The mother said her son was drugged and assaulted up to 20 times by multiple people, often on camera and then threatened with death if he told anyone about the rapes.

In late May, the parents increased their claim to $142 million, saying the money would be used to care for their son for the rest of his life.

All three parents then claimed that other teaching staff were involved alongside the cleaning staff already arrested.

The Wall Street Journal released a series of documents that purported to show claims by the alleged first victim of secret rooms contained somewhere in the school and a device call the “magic stone”, which was used to anaesthetise the children before the abuse.

The same documents also identified eight other boys who were allegedly abused this year at the school.

The school said it was co-operating fully with police, but suggested that the abuse claims had been planted into the children’s heads.

Headteacher Timothy Carr told the Wall Street Journal: “How credible were those original allegations when they were delivered by someone who has changed their story so dramatically over time?” The teaching staff involved are counter suing the parents for defamation, amid claims by the mothers of the alleged victims that the school is covering up the abuse.

The school is now holding weekly vigils, attended by some parents, in support of the staff members, and a petition to release them has gained more than 10,000 signatures.
