(TheHindu) – After a long time, the U.S. drone campaign in Pakistan opened a new front on Thursday with the unmanned Predators striking a compound in the Orakzai tribal agency, reportedly killing at least a dozen people.
The compound was owned by Maulana Shakirullah, a commander of the Hafiz Gul Bahadar group of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Orakzai has not been pounded by drones since April 2009. It was the second drone strike in the tribal areas in two days — a compound in North Waziristan’s main town of Mir Ali bore the brunt of Wednesday’s attack.
Pakistan’s government registered a protest with the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad over the drone strikes, stating that these attacks were a clear violation of international law and Pakistan’s sovereignty. Such protests by the Pakistan government have been futile in the past.
Only last week, the spotlight was trained on the U.S. drone policy with American peace activists joining cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan on his abortive bid to march into South Waziristan with his anti-drone peace march.
The biggest counter argument against drone attacks is the collateral damage. Though the U.S. maintains that the targets are zeroed in on the basis of ground intelligence to minimise civilian casualties, the mainstream narrative here is very hostile to the Predators as they are seen to be violating sovereignty and killing innocent people, women and children included. In fact, this line of thinking maintains that the drones actually produces more terrorism as many of the innocent victims then want revenge as per the tribal code.
The link on my previous post below would tell you that there’s no holding back to launch a war against Iran. In other words, it is just a matter of time and timing to execute the Evil plan, IMO…

Former Israeli premier blasts Netanyahu over approach to Iran!
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has lashed out at Benjamin Netanyahu for adopting a bellicose approach towards Iran.
“Back in 2003 they said that in 2007 Iran will have a bomb. Now it's 2012 and there is no bomb,” Olmert said on Sunday during a meeting with students at Ono Academic College.
Every year on the last Friday of Ramadan, Muslims commemorate al-Quds day and show their solidarity with the people of Palestine. The Palestinian cause is an indisputable aspiration shared by not only every Muslim in the world, regardless of their national and sectarian differences, but also by people aware of the Palestinian plight under the occupation of Israel. Al Quds is another way to express hope in liberating Palestine and al-Quds from Israel. In this news analysis, we'll explore why this year's al-Quds day, in the aftermath of revolutions and political turbulences in the Muslim and Arab world, and in the prospect of sectarian conflicts and civil wars ignited by the western powers, is so important.
NOTE: How do you stop the yearly march in solidarity with the people of Palestine?
International al-Quds Day in Iran. The occasion is marked every year on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. It's meant to express solidarity with the Palestinians and their cause. The day was designated by the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khoemeni back in 19-79. Millions of people throughout the world took to the street to condemn Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories. In Iran the event was commemorated in more than 550 cities. Iranian officials also attended the event. Among them was President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Addressing worshippers at the Friday prayers, he slammed the U-S and its Western allies for supporting the occupying regime of Israel.
This video explains why Israel wants the USA to attack Iran. Three well known experts explain how the facts are twisted to create fear similar to the fear created about Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction to be a pretext for attacking Iraq and then it was discover that it was a BIG LIE but no one was held responsible for the war crimes committed against Iraq.
Now, it is Iran and the use of Nuclear weapons fears as a pretext to attack Iran. The Israeli and US leaders and the Zionist media is spreading fear about Iran threat to the world while the Zionist state has an arsenal of nuclear weapons that represent an existential threat to all the Middle East countries combined.

They challenge myths and misrepresentations surrounding Iran's nuclear program. What is the evidence and why is Iran targeted with sanctions and war threats? Several Iranian nuclear physicists have been assassinated; recent Wiki-leaks cables revealed that last year the U.S. agreed to "quietly transfer" bunker-busting (nuclear) bombs to Israel; Who is threatening whom?
Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst with the CIA for 27 years in January 2006 in Atlanta, publicly challenged Donald Rumsfeld about the "WMD's" in Iraq in what became a mini-debate on live TV. Brian Becker is the National

When i was younger i wanted to study philosophy, psychology and history because like most i wanted to understand what drives humans and how the world works, but life had different plans for me and now that this place exists and one can see what humankind is all about and why most of us are blind with Souls polluted by greed and envy, scared and traumatized looking with closed eyes and desperation for love and harmony while being fed with fear and hate to achieve confusion and uncertainty in a world full of lies, war and poverty, one could come to the conclusion that there is no point and that resistance would be futile, but do not forget it is not over yet and we got enough doormats already so do yourself a favour and be unique for god´s sake.
h/t +Joachim Wahl Great POST! Humankind supposed to be curious of all things. Remember your childhood days, you wanted to learn and "curious" about things. Well the Sick Society erased that to majority of the human race. The Puppeteers and the GREAT puppets made you brain-dead. Think about it for a moment.
Just ALWAYS remember the quote above…
Please ALWAYS do your researches then analyze the whole thing by using your Human Brain… I say, “Openness then Reservation ALWAYS"… Be INQUISITIVE ALWAYS!
American Officials Admit that the U.S. Is a Huge Sponsor of Terrorism!!!
The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan – Lt. General William Odom - noted:
Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics, the slogans of today’s war on terrorism merely makes the United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world.
Odom also said:
By any measure the US has long used terrorism. In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation.
