Assalamualikum,

It is very much alarming that seismologists at Columbia University, Dhaka University, Vanderbilt University, University of Minnesota, Queens College, and researchers in Germany, Italy and India predicted that the next earthquake and Tsunami will be in Bangladesh. One of the top scientific journal - "SCIENCE" - published an article (VOL 332) in last month (10 JUNE 2011) on this issue. The article is also attached herewith.

Further details information:

This will be a natural punishment due to our action and activities: "Say: 'He has power to send torment on you from above or from under your feet, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another'" (Al-Quran 6:65). "And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much" (Al-Quran 42:30).

This punishment will must come: "And if the people of the towns had believed and guarded (against evil) We would certainly have opened up for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they rejected, so We overtook them for what they had earned. Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them as a night-raid while they sleep? Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (care-free)? What! do they then feel secure from Allah's plan? But none feels secure from Allah's plan except the people who shall perish." (Al-Quran 7: 96-99)

All the scientific measurements and actions can reduce the risk and losses, but cannot stop it except Allah's wish. "Evil has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned, that He (Allah) may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return" (Al-Quran 30:41). "And if Allah were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving (living) creature on the surface of the earth; but He gives them respite to an appointed term, and when their term comes, then verily, Allah is Ever All-Seer of His slaves" (Al-Quran 35:45). "Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (Al-Quran 25:70).

May Allah save us and allow us to realize the truth.

[ALOCHONA] Fake Freedom Fighter Works for North Korean Dictatorship

Fake Freedom Fighter Works for North Korean Dictatorship

You, American taxpayer, were robbed of your money and your honor when Congress wasted time in 2007 passing House Resolution 64 endorsing a Bangladeshi fraudster named Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury. He is a journalist who fooled many people into thinking he was persecuted for fighting for democracy in his country.  Choudhury calls himself a "peace activist" and a "Muslim Zionist" and appeared to embrace Western values.

 

As it turns out, this fake friend of the West has been working for the military dictatorship of North Korea for more than three years.

 

Choudhury publishes an online newspaper called the Weekly Blitz. Since January 1, 2010, he has published nearly seventy propaganda pieces for dictator Kim Jung Il's House of Horrors. Here are a few quotes,

 

"…the US imperialists, under the name of "counterterrorist war," are flagrantly violating the sovereignty of those countries and nations that follow the path of independence against imperialism." click here

 

 "The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet military warmongers perpetrated such reckless military provocation as firing thousands of bullets and shells from the sensitive area of Yonphyong Island in the West Sea of Korea for an hour from 14:30 Monday despite strong warning of the KPA and condemnation of the public at home and abroad, far from drawing a lesson from the disgraceful defeat they suffered in the last Yonphyong Island shelling." click here

 

"The DPRK is winning victory after victory in the showdown with the US because it is led by Kim Jong Il, who is a man of will, courage and pluck." click here

 

Most of the propaganda articles in the Blitz are paid advertisements, identified as "special supplements." Choudhury thereby lets the world know that he is being paid by the dictatorship of North Korea to promote it. A recent Wall Street Journal article discloses the pay rate. 

 

Some of the advertisements for North Korea are not called special supplements, however,   perhaps because North Korea asked for an appearance of greater sincerity from the Blitz. Another rubric the Blitz uses for its articles singing the praises of the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea is "International News".   Yet another category Choudhury uses is the oxymoronic "Op-ed and Editorial."   Writing under the name of Anita Mathur, a sock puppet Choudhury has used to promote himself elsewhere, he composed an editorial that says in the matter of the Yonphyong shelling incident in November, 2010, "the U.S. was the arch criminal who deliberately planned the incident and wire-pulled it behind the scene… The U.S. instigated the south Korean puppet forces to perpetrate an armed provocation against the territorial waters of the DPRK…"

 

The Blitz says nothing good whatsoever about South Korea. The only mention of them is a recent complaint that they tried to hack into the Blitz computer and another piece jeers at them for having lots of brothels. 

 

A creature called Sunita Paul is another Choudhury sock puppet. "She" has been clearly identified as an Internet mask for Choudhury by anti-Islamist Bangladeshi bloggers Sajjad Jahir and Mashuqur Rahman and his commenters, and at the ShadaKalo blog.

 

Sunita Paul started pumping for North Korea on July 1, 2008, while it was still on President Bush's Axis of Evil list. In an article titled  North Korea's Beloved Leader Sunita Paul gives an improbably technical lesson on Kim Il Sung's obscure political Juche philosophy and concludes with these words, "Today, tomorrow and till the world lasts, people in the Korean peninsula will hold President Kim Il Sung in their heart with all their love, respect and affection. The nation will remember his contributions on every sun rise (sic)." Choudhury continued to write under Sunita Paul's name until "she" was outed in April, 2009 by the Bangladesh bloggers mentioned above.

  

When a North Korean torpedo sank the South Korean warship Cheonan killing 46 sailors on May, 2010, there was not a peep of protest out of Choudhury, who calls himself a "peace activist." Choudhury has clearly taken sides with our warlike enemy and against our ally in the region. 

 

We must not forget that we are in North Korea's gun sights too. According to the Washington Times, North Korea has Taepodong-2 missiles that can reach United States territory. It has been conducting underground nuclear tests, in violation of U.N. regulations. Belligerently, North Korea declares that any attempt to interdict its ships would be regarded as an act of war, even though such an action is authorized in a limited way by a U.N. resolution.

  

President George W. Bush in his State of the Union address in 2002 named Iran as another member of the "Axis of Evil" threatening US security. Iran and North Korea have formed an unlikely alliance in an attempt to escape their growing isolation from the outside world. They regularly exchange ballistic missile technology, defying UN regulations.

 

Iran's Shahab-3 missile is a modified version of North Korea's Nodong missile. The Shahab-3 can reach Israel. Iran, as we know, has vowed repeatedly to destroy the "little Satan," Israel, and the "big Satan," the United States.

 

Wikileaks reveals that Iran has missiles produced by North Korea that can hit cities in Western Europe. 

Also, North Korea is supplying banned nuclear technology and missiles to Syria and Burma and is believed to have chemical warfare weapons.

 

North Korea devotes most of its resources to building up its military while starving its population, often forcing them to eat grass. The World Food Program estimates between 5 and 6 million were starving in May, 2011. One of the periodic famines that Kim Jong-Il could have ended but did not killed three million people. Orphans beg in the streets for scraps of food that are not available; even soldiers, previously well-fed by the dictator, are becoming weak with hunger, right now. While paunchy Kim Jong-il grows fat on lobster and caviar, he spends the country's money forcing his starving subjects to build a private train line for his son, and presumptive heir, Kim Jong-un. Yet there has not been a word of protest from the chubby, double-chinned Mr. Choudhury.

 

North Korea is possibly the worst dictatorship on the planet at this time, and yet its horrors receive little press coverage, saturated as we are by very bad news from other parts of the world. Satellite images show that as many as 200,000 people are living in concentration camps for political prisoners where they work as slave labor, all the while being starved, raped, and tortured. Their crimes were trying to escape the hell hole of the "Dear Leader" or uttering any kind of criticism of him.

 

The dictatorship makes money from state sponsored slavery. Workers are shipped out to toil in other countries, sometimes with only two days of rest a year. Their earnings are confiscated by the state, with little given back to them. Protests imperil the relatives who remain at home. 

 

North Korea floods the world - and fills its coffers - with poisonous drugs: heroin, amphetamines, and the date rape potion, ryhopnol. They are believed to be manufactured in state run factories, given their high quality. 

 

Counterfeiting American currency is also a big business for North Korean official enterprise. Huge amounts of $100 bills have been traced to the Pyongsong Trademark Printing Factory, the state run national mint. According to the Heritage Foundation, the Kim Jong-il regime resembles a cult-based, family run criminal enterprise rather than a government.

 

We should not ignore a possible connection between North Korea's crimes and Choudhury's anti-social activities. A 2007 Congressional report states that many North Korea diplomats are involved in drug trafficking and we also know that Choudhury had direct dealings with North Korea through its embassy in Bangladesh since the embassy is named as the author for some of the Blitz articles. Illegal drugs were found in Choudhury's desk draw at his Blitz office in a 2008 police raid but Choudhury was not prosecuted for this.   Was Choudhury selling illegal drugs he got from the North Korean embassy? If so, his cover as a mascot of the West would have protected him. At the time, Choudhury was getting a great deal of good press and enjoyed much favor with the American public as a persecuted dissident standing up for democratic values. Is he engaged in criminal drug deals even now, still protected as he is by Resolution 64? 

 

Choudhury was charged with Grand Larceny via Fraud by the New York Police Department for swindling two of his supporters. He invented a fake business with fictitious associates that he asked his supporters to invest in to keep his anti-Islamist work going, and then he bounced checks to the supporters who trusted him. He emailed one of the investors a counterfeit check, indicating she would be paid after he was paid – by his fictitious associate.  That is to say, never.  

 

During his long career as an Islamist, Choudhury worked for a mobster called Aziz Mohammed Bhai, who used his ties to Iranian organized crime to become a billionaire by smuggling high-powered weaponry and narcotics into Myanmar and India. Based on what is available about Choudhury's work history, he clearly knows his way around the world of gangsters. However, very alarmingly, there are thirteen missing years on Choudhury's resume, and we need to know if he was involved with mobsters at that time too.

 

Let us put together the pieces of this puzzle. Underworld figures often find each other in grey or black market endeavors where mobsters, dictators, and terrorists interact.  North Korea operates a variety of front companies around the world through its embassies, many of which are involved in buying and selling goods for Pyongyang.  Choudhury runs an online export/import business, Jethro Conglomerates, that has been flagged as a scam operation by an industry regulator, and is also tied to a larger operation, Noca. Noca seems very shady too, with a list of representatives that should be concerning to law enforcement and Homeland Security authorities.   Is the WeeklyBlitz a front group for Choudhury's nefarious activities? The extent of Choudhury's illegal activities is not fully known yet. It must be explored.  To whatever extent Resolution 64 inhibits Bangladesh from investigating Choudhury's fraudulent and dangerous activities, it must be lifted.

 

In a previous article, I revealed a repulsive and frightening side of Choudhury. His online C.V. shows that he worked for the mad Mullahs of Iran, translating a book for them. These are the same men who are now calling for the annihilation of Israel and the U.S. He promoted and protected the sadistic Islamist war criminals who were responsible for the murder, rape and displacement of millions of their fellow citizens during Bangladesh's 1971 War of Independence, and even went to prison in defense of his Islamist convictions. He lied to the world about his education, his employment, the depth and intensity of his involvement as an Islamist, and he obscured his ties to mobsters. Now, after his so-called conversion to anti-Islam in 2003, he is publishing Islamists in the Blitz. Some of his authors, apart from the North Korea articles, have ties to caliphate seeking Hizbut Tahrir and are openly anti-democracy and anti-America. The arrest at the Bangladesh airport that catapulted Choudhury to international fame as a supposed martyr for Israel was staged by him to win attention and donations. 

 

North Korea is one of the most hellish dictatorships the earth has ever known. Yet Choudhury sings its praises. He was actively involved in shilling for North Korea when he visited the United States in October and November, 2009. Do we know the full story about what he was doing here? No, we do not. We took him at his word that he was dedicated to our values and that he came here solely to give talks about his devotion to Israel as a persecuted 'Muslim Zionist.'

 

Everything we admired about Choudhury turns out to be a scam. We were punked and we need to admit it. 

 

Choudhury is a menace to the United States. He must be denied re-entry and fully investigated. Congress needs to revoke the Resolution it passed in 2007 urging the Bangladeshi government to stop making Choudhury return to court on a charge of sedition. Under cover of enormous diplomatic approval from the United States and other countries' legislative bodies as well, Choudhury has been carrying on all manner of evil. Bangladeshis with whom I have communicated said that they knew he was a fraud and that he might be a spy, but they were either afraid to speak out or their voices went unheard because of Choudhury's great favor with the U.S. 

 

Choudhury's former fans must speak out against him, rescinding their approval. To continue to extend American support to this man is morally disgusting. It is a disgrace. And it is dangerous.

[ALOCHONA] Mubarak's wife threatens to publish scandals of the Arab leaders and princes

Mubarak's wife threatens to publish sex scandals of the  Arab leaders and princes

iReport — iReports are not pre-screened before they post.

Watni News - Oman: Suzanne Mubarak, the wife threatened to former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be published as recordings of sex scandals and the princes of the leaders of Arab and Egyptian officials that did not stop her trial, her husband and sons.

He said the media Ahmed Aboul Naga in an article published on Thursday that there is already a conspiracy to prevent the trial of Mubarak and his wife, Suzanne Mubarak, even if it was paid hundreds of billions of pounds by the kings and princes, the Arabs and the reason they provide money to prevent the trial of Mubarak and Susan because Susan Mubarak has more a flagrant record of 40 for princes and kings of the Arabs by Safwat al-Sharif, who has managed to record a full 30 hours of sex scandals of the princes, kings and Egyptian officials and Arabs are still in office.
The strangest thing is that Susan has threatened to these scandals if it does not interfere with the leaders and princes and officials who are in these strips to prevent her trial she and her husband, deposed Here's that story that reflects the role that was played by Safwat al-Sharif in Egypt, it was Susan fixed vehemently seeks ways and means to pass power to son, Gamal, and this Story details are known and we dealt with a lot, but new it had decided to take revenge on anyone who is close to Gamal Mubarak, even if it has this revenge to the use of explicit recordings.
I have asked Susan Sharif to think in the way of revenge by the dignity and the dignity of her son the next president of Egypt, and Safwat al-Sherif has recordings of obscene for a large number of Arab officials, including officials from that country, and days later returned it, along with recordings of obscene for a large number of princes and officials from Arab countries, it was a "clandestine networks" run by stretching in all Arab countries, and use the girls' ads, actresses and dancers.

The Safwat hand over tapes of nationality to Susan Mubarak, which I felt finally that it will retaliate for the dignity of heir, and has passed the years and became the recordings of the utmost importance after he was deposed Mubarak and after referred Susan to trial, it has Susan's claim all the Arab officials for their support in her ordeal so that you do leaking scandals of sexual the Safwat al-Sharif recorded them, and I have written dozens of times about the secrets of interventions Arab and foreign countries to save the Mubarak family of trials, has some Arab countries to broadcast programs and publish articles calling for Egyptians to pardon Mubarak and his family, and it was all of these attempts so as not to leak sex scandals keep Susan in the treasury for this day.

If you want to understand the impact of the "war on terror" on America's ally, Pakistan, look no further than Noor Behram's photographs which show, he says, collateral damage as a result of US drone strikes in the tribal area. Behram, who is from Waziristan, has spent the past four years interviewing survivors of drone attacks, shooting video footage and close-up stills of the damage. The photographs – part of a new London exhibition – are gruesome.

Images of a severed hand, a child with half his head blown off, mangled body parts, demolished homes, a mosque reduced to rubble and the blood-splattered clothes of a woman held aloft by her widower have been converted to QuickTime films by the Beaconsfield gallery and projected, unedited, on to a giant cinema screen which plays on a loop. There is video footage of a lone drone hovering above a village in Miranshah, which resembles a fly on the camera lens. The background noise is of children playing and a rooster crowing.

There is another image, of an empty grave. Eighty mourners attending a funeral were struck by a missile and killed before they could bury the body. A local man who was digging the grave lies mutilated beside it. Similar images are regularly printed in local Pakistani papers, fanning the flames of anti-Americanism. A recent Pew poll found that 97 per cent of respondents viewed drones negatively and 69 per cent now view America as the enemy.

Here in the UK, we are more likely to read reports of how many militants have been killed from unnamed Pakistani intelligence officials. For foreigners, the only way to cover the Afghanistan conflict is to get permission from defence ministries and their press minders to be embedded with the Western armies.

Behram's work appears to reveal the truth about the US drone campaign in Pakistan's tribal region – that far more civilians are being killed than the Americans or Pakistanis will admit. His images cannot be independently verified but are backed up by credible documentation. It also raises questions about the ethics of this new video-game warfare. How likely is it that a "reachback operator" sitting at a video screen up to 7,500 miles away at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, will hit the right target in the middle of the night?

The New America Foundation, which tracks drone strikes, estimates non-militant deaths at 20 per cent of the total of 2,464 fatalities, though Behram believes the toll is far greater: "For every 10 to 15 people killed, maybe they get one militant."

Clive Stafford Smith, founder of legal action charity Reprieve, who together with Pakistani lawyer, Mirza Shahzad Akbar, has launched lawsuits on behalf of victims' families, believes that 95 per cent of those killed by drones are not legitimate targets. He says: "We need transparent figures. We know that the US is lying as they say no civilians are being killed by drones and we've seen pictures of dead women and children." He believes that Behram's photographs provide evidence.

There are other questions which the images raise. How can people surrender to a drone? Why is the US regularly bombing its ally Pakistan in the first place?

Since President Obama came to office, the use of unmanned aircraft has drastically increased. Bush used unmanned predator drones 45 times in his eight years in office, while Obama unleashed 118 drones on Pakistan last year alone.

It's not just America however that is reducing its military's dependence on human beings – within 20 years nearly one third of the RAF could be made up of remotely controlled drones.

Reprieve has called its anti-drone campaign Bugsplat – the official term used by US authorities when human beings are successfully killed with drone missiles. Who needs satire?

 

'Gaming in Waziristan', an exhibition including images of the aftermath of drone strikes in north Waziristan, is at Beaconsfield, Newport Street, London SE11. info@beaconsfield.ltd.uk
