Time for healing -- A town vows to not forget four murdered Mounties BRIAN BERGMAN, Jun. 10, 05

For Mayerthorpe RCMP Const. Joe Sangster, emotions are still running high. It's been three months since Sangster's four friends and colleagues -- Peter Schiemann, 25, Anthony Gordon, 28, Brock Myrol, 29, and Leo Johnston, 32 -- were brutally murdered by local misfit James Roszko before the gunman killed himself. [. . . . ]

Within days of the murders, there was much talk around town about the need to create a permanent memorial to the slain officers. Margaret Thibault, who worked closely with all four constables as coordinator of victim services for the RCMP detachments in Mayerthorpe and Whitecourt, took on the cause. Thibault now heads a committee that will spend the next two years trying to raise at least $500,000 to develop a memorial site. [. . . . ]

Even as they seek to honour the slain officers, Mayerthorpe residents make a point of distinguishing between the man who committed the murders and members of his large extended family. . . . says George who, like many other family members, had been estranged from his younger brother for years. "It was just a sick little man who did a sick, awful deed."

Like so many others in the area, George thinks his brother's murder spree shows how the country's justice system sometimes fails to protect the public. "Jim should have been deemed a dangerous offender and locked away years ago," he says. [. . . . ]

Coming to a protest near you: "The Scream" Judi McLeod, June 13, 2005

If the Israeli army does its homework, it will find that "The Scream" originates from First Earth Battalion technique.

Author and New Age Movement expert Constance Cumbey describes First Earth Battalion as "an openly New Age operation with planned allegiances to "Person/Planet" rather than to Nation State." [. . . . ]

Some truthful history By Steven Plaut -- Trackback: http://www.israpundit.com/mt-tb.cgi/7219

While most of us know the following, it does not hurt to publish this again and again. Perhaps some more casual visitors may be educated on the truth rather than the cloud of lies put out by the Arabs over the years.

The Arabs Stole Palestine from the Jews, and not the other way around! [. . . . ]

Triple-pronged Jihad -- Military, Economic and Cultural April 5th, 2005, American Thinker

[In a wide ranging interview with Islamic scholar Bat Ye'or comes a frank discussion of Eurabia: what it is, and what it means for Americans. Interview by Alyssa A. Lappen ]

In her new book, Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, Bat Ye'or takes a sweeping view of history, not the one that most of us consider, just past the ends of our noses. The world's preeminent historian of two unique Islamic institutions, jihad and dhimmitude—the latter, the humiliated, precarious state of non-Muslim peoples living under Islamic rule—Bat Ye'or has masterfully portrayed the means by which the Euro-Arab Dialogue unfolded over the past 30-plus years. “There are three forms of jihad,” she says today, “the military jihad, the economic jihad and the cultural jihad.” The EAD between the European Community and the Arab League has been a means of spreading [the] economic and cultural jihad from the Middle East to Europe.

In November 1967, Charles De Gaulle announced at a press conference that henceforward, France would assume a pro-Arab policy. His goals were to prevent a return to intra-European wars and to help France resume its leading role in European politics and history. Little could he have imagined the far-reaching results. De Gaulle died in November 1970, but in October 1973, following Egypt and Syria's war against Israel, Georges Pompidou picked up his policy reigns and led Europe into the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD), a process that took hold and changed the face of Europe for the worse.

On French initiative, the European Community sought to open a Euro-Arab Dialogue, but the Arab League for their part made any dialogue dependent on the establishment of an anti-Israel policy in Europe. [. . . . ]

For Muslim countries, Sharia rules take precedence over any other rules, especially over man-made rules. They consider Western rules inferior to their God given rules. For this reason, America is right to refuse to participate in the International Court of Justice, which is dominated by Islamic and European nations, both abiding to the Islamic principles of justice.

Osama's Road to Riches and Terror By Georg Mascolo and Erich Follath, Jun. 6, 05, DER SPIEGEL.

The Bin Laden family disowned black sheep Osama in 1994. But have they really broken with the mega-terrorist? Recently revealed classified documents seem to suggest otherwise. Osama's violent career has been made possible in part by the generosity of his family -- and by his contacts with the Saudi royals.
In early spring 2002, American intelligence agents tipped off authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina that something wasn't quite right with the "Benevolence International Foundation." Their reaction was swift; special forces stormed eight offices of the Islamic foundation in Sarajevo and in Zenica. They found weapons and explosives, videos and flyers calling for holy war. More importantly, however, they discovered a computer with a mysterious file entitled "Tarich Osama" -- Arabic for "Osama's Story."

After printing out the file -- close to 10,000 pages worth -- the intelligence experts quickly realized they had stumbled upon a true goldmine. They were looking at nothing less than the carefully documented story of al-Qaida, complete with scanned letters, minutes of secret meetings, photos and notes -- some even written in Osama Bin Laden's handwriting. CIA experts secured the highly sensitive material, dubbed "Golden Chain," and took everything back to the United States. To this day, only fragments of the material have been published. Now, however, SPIEGEL magazine has been given complete access to the entire series of explosive documents dating from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. [. . . . ]

MEET THE BIN LADENS, PART II -- Tracking Osama's Kin Around the World By Erich Follath and Georg Mascolo

Osama bin Laden's family has disavowed itself from its terrorist "black sheep," but the discrepancies are considerable. In interviews with his family that took our reporters to Paris, Arlington, Virginia, Geneva and the furthest-flung corners of Pakistan, we take a closer look and the ties he may or may not still have to his relatives. [. . . . ]

Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki visited bin Laden several times after he had moved from Sudan to Afghanistan to join forces with the radical Taliban. Turki allegedly brought along expensive gifts to Kandahar, in the form of dozens of pickup trucks. According to a former member of the Taliban intelligence service, Prince Turki and OBL made a deal: The Saudis would support al-Qaida financially, but only under the condition that there would be no attacks on Saudi soil. (Prince Turki, now Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Great Britain, has denied these claims, telling SPIEGEL that they are "nothing but fantasy.")

On Jan. 9, 2001, OBL attended his son Mohammed's wedding in Kandahar, accompanied, according to CIA sources, by his mother and two of his brothers. The CIA also claims that "two of Osama's sisters traveled to Abu Dhabi" a month later, where they met with an al-Qaida agent at the Gulf emirate's airport to deliver large sums of cash.
In mid-January 2005, New York federal judge Richard Casey wrote, in his grounds for allowing the civil suit against SBG filed by the families of 9/11 victims, that "the Saudi Binladin Group maintained close relationships with Osama bin Laden at certain times," and that it remains "unclear" whether these ties continued when OBL became involved in terrorism.

MEET THE BIN LADENS, PART II Tracking Osama's Kin Around the World (2) -- "The Saudi Arabian Wahhabites are the luxury version of the Taliban"

Osama's sister-in-law, Carmen bin Laden. . . . . While she felt that her years studying in the United States were carefree, the years spent in Jeddah after her marriage to Yeslam were nothing short of martyrdom. [. . . . ]

The outsider observed the trench warfare that was taking place for power within the family dynasty, a battle in which her husband, son number 10, soon moved to the top. "The daily realty [sic -- reality] within the family was jealousy, envy and intrigue," she says. "But the all-powerful Islamic traditions of Wahhabism ensure that no one is excluded from the clan. No individual destiny is more important than the shared system of values."

This is why Carmen bin Laden believes it is impossible that the brothers have severed all ties with Osama. "No matter what he has done, they cannot disown him -- it would be a violation of the Sharia laws." And because of the close relationships between the royal family and the construction company, Carmen also believes that there are still secret links among Osama, various princes in senior government positions and leading religious scholars.

[. . . . ] According to Western intelligence sources, a 20-year-old Yemeni woman and her child recently came to the village from Pakistan, and was taken in by her relatives. The two-year-old child is apparently another offspring of Osama bin Laden. [. . . . ]

Experts say that it would be a mistake to apply Western patterns of thought to Middle Eastern reasoning. [. . . . ]
