Abubakar Shekau, leader du Boko Haram : Un autre illuminé!

La secte islamiste radicale Boko Haram fait exploser une voiture piégée à l’extérieur d’une église dans une ville du centre du Nigeria [le principal temple de l’Église du Christ au Nigeria], alors que les fidèles prenaient part à une cérémonie matinale.

L’attaque fait suite à d’autres actes violents dont se réclame la secte contre des chrétiens dans le nord du pays, aggravant la méfiance entre les deux principaux courants religieux dans cette nation multiethnique de plus de 160 millions d’habitants.

Le président Goodluck Jonathan a condamné l’attaque par voie de communiqué. « Ceux qui tentent de nous diviser en employant la peur et la terreur échoueront. Ces attaques aveugles contre les chrétiens et les musulmans sont une menace envers tous les Nigérians amants de paix », a-t-il déclaré.

Ouf !

William Hague Warns Against Stiking Iran

William Hague, UK Foreign Minister

JMD / https://jmdsystemics.wordpress.com/

LONDON — An attack on Iran would carry huge costs. Striking Iran could lead to a dangerous nuclear standoff in the Middle East. Striking at Iran’s disputed nuclear program would have enormous downsides. Britain’s foreign minister warned.

While allowing Iran to proceed with its nuclear program unchecked would lead to a Cold War-style arms race in the Middle East, with neighboring countries rushing to match the Iranian arsenal, we are very clear to all concerned that we are not advocating military action, he said. We couldn’t assume that a strike would be over quickly. There would be large scale and long-lasting repercussions. And so, the most serious round of nuclear proliferation since nuclear weapons were invented would have begun with all the destabilizing effects in the Middle East. That would be a disaster for world affairs.

Tensions over Iran’s nuclear program are running high. Israel, the U.S., Britain and others suspect that the Islamic Republic is using the program as cover for the manufacture of atomic weapons and observers fear that a pre-emptive strike may be in the works.

Toward Global Unity?

Imagine Global Unity!

JMD / https://jmdsystemics.wordpress.com/

For untold ages humankind has dreamed and foretold of its eventual unification in a state of global unity. From Albert Eisenstein to Aristotle the greatest intellectuals among us of realized the need for this alternative to mankind’s present anarchic nation-state relations. Why must this remain a theory?

Today, it is only common sense for everyone, for every nation, for all the people on earth to call for a global recognition of their rights and freedoms, and their stringent enforcement. The need for a global governance system has never been greater, nor the means to accomplish it easier. A global generation exists more familiar culturally and socially to one another across nations than to previous generations. Global youth unemployment and worldwide economic stagnation and environmental degradation have already forced upon this generation the need to work together intimately, globally, consistently or face a decline into extinction. If humanity cannot unite, then it is not fit to survive, but many know it is fit, it is ready: the 21st century will be defined by the rise of supra-nationalism.

While each country is now dealing with civil and economic crisis that have trickled down in the form of austerity measures by all governments, world citizens are fighting within the ideological boundaries of national sovereignty. There have been millenniums of talks on this issue: the time has come for action, for change, for the realization and creation of a Universal Global Planetary Party by practical day-to-day action.

From all these conflicts and revolutions that we see now around the world, a Global Social Universal Planetary Federation of people and nations, that is neutral non-partisan, shall rise to advocate and create these institutions in a grassroots and truly global manner.

Peace and Security / Paix et Sécurité

The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Syrie/ sommet de Tunis: les décisions ?

Moncef Marzouki se demande que soit accordée "l'immunité judiciaire" au président syrien Bachar al-Assad et sa famille.

Beaucoup d’idées et très peu de concret : tel est le bilan de cette conférence internationale sur la Syrie, organisée à Tunis et réunissant des représentants de l’opposition syrienne et plus de soixante pays.

Un « engagement » à prendre des mesures pour appliquer et renforcer les sanctions sur le régime ; un « appel » à l’arrêt des violences afin de permettre l’accès de l’aide humanitaire ; la « reconnaissance » du Conseil national syrien comme « un » représentant légitime des Syriens et l’encourage à former un groupe “représentatif” et incluant toutes les sensibilités.

Le président tunisien Moncef Marzouki ainsi que le ministre qatari des Affaires étrangères Cheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani ont appelé de leurs vœux la création d’une force arabe. Le groupe de 60 pays demande par ailleurs au gouvernement syrien de “permettre l’accès libre et sans entraves des agences humanitaires”.

Si je comprends bien, femmes et enfants vont continuer à être assassinés et qui plus est : Le trou du cul de président tunisien Moncef Marzouki se demande que soit accordée “l’immunité judiciaire” au président syrien Bachar al-Assad et sa famille.

Paix et sécurité mon cul !

Hilary Clinton official Secretary of State portrait

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has blasted Russia and China as “despicable” for opposing U.N. action aimed at stopping the bloodshed in Syria. In his most forceful words to date on the Syrian crisis, President Barack Obama said Friday the U.S. and its allies would use “every tool available” to end the bloodshed by the government of President Bashar Assad.

While the Tunisia conference offered nothing other than the threat of increasing isolation and sanctions to compel compliance from Assad, Clinton went on to predict a military coup inside Syria of the kind that ended the old regimes in Egypt and Tunisia. “We saw this happen in other settings last year, I think it is going to happen in Syria,” she told reporters at the end of the meeting. “We also know from many sources that there are people around Assad who are beginning to hedge their bets — they didn’t sign up to slaughter people.”

“It’s quite distressing to see two permanent members of the Security Council using their veto while people are being murdered — women, children, brave young men — houses are being destroyed,” she said. “It is just despicable and I ask whose side are they on? They are clearly not on the side of the Syrian people.”

Syrians desperate for help

Why?

As the death toll grows in Syria, so do the desperate pleas for help.

The United States, the European Union, the Arab League and Turkey are all enforcing sanctions against Bashar Al-Assad’s Syrian regime, but the violence has only worsened in recent weeks and there is hesitancy for the U.N. Security Council and the Nations to intervene militarily.

We don’t know the opposition well enough; Al-Assad still has strong support in his country; Geography is an issue; Sanctions could still work; Last week China and Russia veto: So many excuses for the Nations not to intervene. Meantime, people, innocent people are dying.

The key question now is, how long do we wait?

Today, the death toll is approaching 8,000, with 60,000 detained and 20,000 missing. With people dying every day, when do we say enough is enough?

Personally, I don’t give a shit about political and religious leaders dying; I don’t give a shit about soldiers dying while shooting civilians, innocent women and children. I only hope that in Syria, like for in any other countries in the world, economic difficulties will soon turn more and more of “We, the People”, against all the pseudo democratic, capitalist communist, socialist and religious dictatorships of this world.

Once the middle class fully joins the ongoing worldwide uprisings, all the Bashar Al-Assads of this world are goners.

While nations want tsunami wave of pressure on Bashar Al-Assad, I want him dead, hanging by his balls.

Tunis, Tunisia — World powers are convening in Tunisia, mapping out a plan for a political solution in Syria and a “tsunami wave” of pressure that would peel away internal support for the embattled regime.

The Friends of Syria group which includes the United States, Arab nations, Turkey is working on a plan to deliver immediate humanitarian aid to the Syrian opposition. The United Nations has stockpiled of aid such as food and medicine in Syria’s neighboring states that can be deliver immediately.

Thousands have died in Syria since Mid-March of 2011, when Bashar Al-Assad’s Alawite-minority led government launched a crackdown against a predominantly Sunni anti-government protest movement that quickly devolved into an opposition movement with a rebel army and armed militias. More than 9,000 people have been killed since the uprising began in mid-March.

Neither Russia nor China is participating in the Tunisia meeting.

Cyber attacks: the weaponry of the future

Anonymous hacker

Ralph Langner, the researcher who identified that Stuxnet infected PLCs, first speculated publicly in September 2010 that the malware was of Israeli origin, and that it targeted Iranian nuclear facilities. However Langner, more recently, stated that, while the Mossad is involved, the leading force behind Stuxnet is not Israel but the one and only cyber superpower, the United States of America.

Cyber attacks are now targeting high-value infrastructures not only in Iran but all over the world. According to Langner, this trend won’t fade or go away and most major installations and critical infrastructure in the world are not really prepared for this. So when they will be attacked, it will probably take a year until they notice what is going on, which is exactly what we have seen in the case of Stuxnet. According to Langner, we presently don’t have Intrusion Detection System tools and technology that could prevent it. From a technology point of view, you certainly can design a product that would be capable of doing this. But so far, we haven’t seen it.

If most nations and institutions are so unprepared, how come don’t we see more of these intrusive cyber attacks? The answer is quite simple: So far, we haven’t seen any really solid contingency plans for cyber attacks but this is coming sooner than you think. People are fed up with what is going on around the world and there are more and more well educated and knowledgeable people out there and this might get very nasty faster than you think groups like Anonymous could decide [and I hope they will,] to target all major institutions and bring down any superpower on its knees.

Science and knowledge are no longer the appanage of the rich and powerful.

Stuxnet targeted five Iranian organizations

Different variants of Stuxnet targeted five Iranian organizations

Stuxnet is a computer worm discovered in June 2010. It initially spreads via Microsoft Windows, and targets Siemens industrial software and equipment. Now, Virus researchers have discovered a variant of the Stuxnet worm. W32.Duqu, was first identified on October 14. While Duqu appears to have been derived from the Stuxnet, its purpose is different: rather than destroying industrial control systems, Duqu appears to be an information stealing Trojan that collects keystrokes and other information that might be used in subsequent attacks.

Different variants of Stuxnet targeted five Iranian organizations,with the probable target widely suspected to be uranium enrichment infrastructure in Iran. Russian computer security firm Kaspersky concluded that the sophisticated attack could only have been conducted “with nation-state support”. This was further backed up by F-Secure’s chief researcher Mikko Hyppönen. It has been speculated that Israel and the United States may have been involved.

Cybernetic is the future in weaponry and global warfare.
