US ‘banksters’ have Syria in sights
An American author and journalist says war profiteers and “banksters” in the United States have embarked upon a vigorous “media campaign” to bring Washington closer to another war in the Middle East.
“The banksters are looking for a pretext to get at the oil, natural gas and pipeline roots that run through Syria,” Dean Henderson said in an interview with Press TV on Monday.
They seek to "destroy" Syria and would like to see the country descend further into chaos like Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, he said. “Because in chaos they make a lot of money, they ‘rebuild’ a lot of stuff, and there is a lot of contracts.”
“This fascist regime of bankers [is] basically using the United States government, the British government and the French government who are all just servant to these people,” Henderson said.
He made the remarks as a growing number of Republicans and Democrats in Congress are urging the administration of President Barack Obama to approve military action against Syria following reports of a deadly chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus last week.
“It’s obvious that the rebels were behind these attacks,” Henderson said.
The CIA and the Israeli Mossad are using the militants as their “puppets” to incriminate the Syrian government and make the United States launch a military offensive against the Arab country, he suggested.
“It’s a lie. Hopefully enough of the world will wake up to prevent it from happening.”
President Obama said last year that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government was “a red line” that would provoke a military response.

DoD Training Manual Suggests Conservative Views 'Extremist'...
Manual lists people concerned with “individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place” as potential extremists

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch recently obtained a Department of Defense training manual which lists people who embrace “individual liberties” and honor “states’ rights,” among other characteristics, as potential “extremists” who are likely to be members of “hate groups.”
Marked “for training purposes only,” the documents, obtained Thursday through a Freedom of Information Act request submitted in April, include PowerPoint slides and lesson plans, among which is a January 2013 Air Force “student guide” distributed by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institutesimply entitled “Extremism.”
Judicial Watch’s FOIA request asked for “Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to the preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.”
As the group notes, “The document defines extremists as ‘a person who advocates the use of force or violence; advocates supremacist causes based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or national origin; or otherwise engages to illegally deprive individuals or groups of their civil rights.’”
The manual goes on to bar military personnel from “active participation” in such extremist organization activities as “publicly demonstrating,” “rallying,” “fundraising” and “organizing,” basically denying active-duty military from exercising the rights they so ardently fight to defend.
It begins its introduction of a section titled, “Extremist ideologies,” by describing the American colonists who sought independence from British rule as a historical example of extremism.
“In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples,” according to the training guide.
In a section drawing inspiration from a 1992 book titled “Nazis, Communists, Klansmen, and Others on the Fringe: Political Extremism in America,” the manual also lists “Doomsday thinking” under “traits or behaviors that tend to represent the extremist style.”
Extremists often predict dire or catastrophic consequences from a situation or from a failure to follow a specific course, and they tend to exhibit a kind of crisis-mindedness. It can be a Communist takeover, a Nazi revival, nuclear war, earthquakes, floods, or the wrath of God. Whatever it is, it is just around the corner unless we follow their program and listen to their special insight and wisdom, to which only the truly enlightened have access. For extremists, any setback or defeat is the beginning of the end.
“Nowadays,” the manual explains, “instead of dressing in sheets or publicly espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.”
Judicial Watch also acknowledges the Southern Poverty Law Center “is listed as a resource for information on hate groups and referenced several times throughout the guide,” even though the group itself was directly responsible for a “hate crime” perpetrated on the Family Research Council after it was listed on the SPLC’s “hate map.”
Infowars readers will find much of the training guide’s contents unsurprising as they merely reinforce what we have exhaustively documented in the past.
In 2009, Infowars obtained the “law enforcement sensitive” contents of a Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report entitled “The Modern Militia Movement” which listed supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as potential “militia” influenced terrorists.
Also, in July 2012 Infowars blew the lid on a Department of Homeland Security-funded study, produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland, that characterized Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.
Indeed, the latest report echoes scenes from Alex Jones’ prescient documentary 9/11: The Road to Tyranny, made over a decade ago, which covered the fact that FEMA and other government bureaus have for years been training law enforcement agencies to regard people who espouse conservative ideologies, such as those represented by the Founding Fathers, as terrorists.
It can no longer be denied that military and local law enforcement crosshairs have gradually been realigned from targeting phantom terrorists overseas to targeting domestic “extremists,” a broad, all-encompassing term that accommodates anyone generally challenging or questioning the status quo.
As Judicial Watch notes, although the documents were obtained through the Air Force, the fact that they originated in a DOD office means they have likely been distributed throughout the government’s various agencies.
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton concluded that the documents fall in line with the Obama administration’s “nasty habit of equating basic conservative values with terrorism,” and that the language closely “echoes the IRS targeting language of conservative and Tea Party investigations.” “And now… its Defense Department suggests that the Founding Fathers, and many conservative Americans, would not be welcome in today’s military… After reviewing this document, one can’t help but worry for the future and morale of our nation’s armed forces.”

US bars Iranian umpire from tennis games under sanctions pretext
Rich Kaufman, a senior official at the US Tennis Association, said in an e-mail to Iranian tennis umpire, Adel Borghei, that “current United States law” prohibited the Open from “retaining the services of a resident of Iran,” the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Borghei was scheduled to start refereeing in the qualifying rounds of the Open games on August 20. He received a congratulatory letter in May confirming that he had secured the coveted slot at the tennis tournament.
According to the report, the Iranian referee asked for a clear explanation about the decision by the tournament officials, but he only received vague answers.
“If all I cared about was the money, I wouldn’t come here. I wouldn’t be here now,” he said, adding, “I want to be in this tournament. I want to live the dream. This isn’t about money, or politics. It’s about tennis.”
Borghei, 32, has refereed tennis tournaments in many countries across the world such as Australia, Canada, Japan and the Netherlands. He was a tennis player before working his way up and becoming an umpire.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program, with the US and European Union using the claim as an excuse to impose illegal sanctions against Tehran.
Iran has categorically rejected the allegation, stressing that as a committed member of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
back then 2008 before I was president.

Farhad Alavi, a partner at Akrivis Law Group in Washington, also criticized the politicization of the issue and said, “This case does show the personal impact this is having on a lot of individuals. Politics are crossing into everything, even something as universal as sports. We sometimes forget these things do impact people.”
