Israel bombs Lebanese civilians (2006)
Posted by Barrie on March 11, 2012
In 2006, Israel bombed Lebanon for 33 days. They bombed civilian targets including schools with children screaming. Witness the dastardly acts below.
‘Under the Bombs’
Actual footage of bombing (see how the children scream in panic) by the Zionist regime. And the Zionists are proud of it.
Who is wiping who off the map?
Incidentally, this was the pre-invasion of Lebanon. As usual, Israel will bomb civilian targets (but claim they are striking at militants) to soften the ground, before a land invasion. However, when they rolled in their tanks into Lebanon, they were stunned when Hezbollah wiped out 15% of their armour division. That’s because the Hezbollah were not hiding among the civilians. They were hiding in tunnels at the border away from civilian towns.
So when Israel rolled their tanks into Lebanon, with their barrels facing civilian towns, their backsides were facing Hezbollah hiding in tunnels. Easy meat for Hezbollah. As always, Israel bombs civilians while missing the military.
Israel unilaterally pulled out shortly after the invasion. (Hey, just admit it, they got buttkicked and lost to Hezbollah. Why are they so embarrassed to admit it?) Here is an article I published how they lost the Lebanese War in 2006. Fallacy of the Mean Israeli Defence Force – Part 2
Do not for once believe that Israel targets militants. They always target civvies.

Vote stealing in America!
Posted by Barrie on January 1, 2012
So you thought that vote fraud only occurs in Third World countries? You thought hurdles put up to hinder free elections only happen in Singapore and Malaysia? Lobbyists who have been using the West (especially America) as their role model, take a look at this.
A few days ago, I wrote about how Ron Paul, the only anti-war US Presidential candidate for 2012, will face an uphill task. Ron Paul for US President; any other, it’s more wars. I predicteed (in the comments section of the article) that the war hawks will do about anything, unethical means included, to stop him from even smelling the White House. True enough, this is what is gonna happen come 3 Jan 2012.
It looks like the war hawks are gonna steal the Iowa Caucuses from Ron Paul. This is just the “preliminaries” to the actual Presidential Elections. The Republicans are deciding WHO to put up as candidate to represent their camp. And they are stealing it from Ron Paul!
It has been decided the the vote count would be done in a secret and undisclosed location! What? Even Singapore and Malaysia don’t do that! This gives cheaters the chance to steal the elections from Ron Paul. Here is a video clip from a very angry American who hosts his private radio talk show. You need only to view the first few minutes to get the idea how serious this situation is.
Ron Paul: Iowa Vote Fraud
Click “Show More” to see what you can do! If Ron Paul has Iowa stolen from him, then violent revolution has become inevitable, as John F. Kennedy warned.
Iowa GOP moving vote-count to ‘undisclosed location’: to prevent a Ron Paul victory. http://12160.info/profiles/blogs/iowa-gop-moving-vote-count-to-undisclosed-lo…
Threats to disrupt the Iowa Republican caucuses next week have prompted state GOP officials to move the vote tabulation to an “undisclosed location,” POLITICO has learned.
to prevent a Ron Paul victory?
The war hawks, in collusion with the media and the various corrupt govt agencies of the US, are desperately trying to prevent Ron Paul, the only anti-war pro-economy Presidential Candidate, from even being put up as a Republican rep for the coming US Elections!
Here’s another video clip, showing that vote fraud is nothing new in America!
Proof of voter fraud in the USA – from the horse’s mouth
What DEMONcracy and democrazy elections that exists in the US, some of our own Sinkies who have been using America as their model to tell PAPpies to hold free and fair elections?

Ron Paul for US President; any other, it’s more wars
Posted by Barrie on December 25, 2011
The American Decay began after Ronald Reagan completed his second presidential term in 1988. Since then, we had dumb George Bush (Senior) who was more interested in settling a score with Saddam. Followed by Bill Clinton who was more interested in Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky than his presidential duties or his husbandly duties to his wife, Hilary. Followed up by George W Bush who was more interested in finishing off Saddam on behalf of his dad. Then by Barrack Obama, who continues the wars the Bush admin created.
Because of the terror wars America caused, invading lands of others, it is now the most hated nation in the world. All presidential candidates for the next term are war hawkish, save for Republican Ron Paul. This is the only guy who could save America, and the world, from WW3. Before we take a look at Ron, let’s see how America looks like. Strong video message below (less than 3 min). The message of Ron Paul.
If China Attacks America (JUST IMAGINE)
Incidentally, the voice you hear from the 2:05 min mark is the voice of Ron Paul relaying his message why the wars must stop. The only sane American Presidential candidate is Ron Paul. All other candidates want to have more wars, wars, wars.
Ron Paul’s previous Presidential Campaign -
As promised, more about this guy. Many Singaporeans don’t know who Ron Paul is. Not surprising. Not too many Americans know either! Why? Because he is censored by the major news media. All major news network prefer duds like McCain, Obama, Mrs Clinton, Gingrich etc. Same for last presidential campaign.
Here’s what I wrote about Ron Paul (Nov 2007) during his last presidential campaign. Last Hope for America (and the world) – Ron Paul
Note that in the link above, although Ron was the most searched of all candidates on the internet, he got very little air time or mention in the mainstream media. That’s because the media is controlled by the war hawks. They don’t wanna an anti-war US President.
Ron Paul’s Presidential Campaign 2012 -
Ron’s back. And this time, the mass media’s tricks are less effective. More and more Americans are getting to know him and more and more of them like him! Here is Ron’s official campaign website – Ron Paul 2012. His fan site is over here – Ron Paul Fan Site
Here is a video clip of an actual debate between some pro-war guy (Rick Santorum) with Ron. The point discussed is setting up a war with Iran. Note how Ron Paul (the guy on the right) gets interrupted intermittently by his opponents when he replies – just like how PAPpies like to cut off opposition members when they speak!
Ron Paul Destroys Rick Santorum On Iran! – Iowa Republian Presidential Debate (2 min)
Ron Paul is definitely more well-known and popular this campaign than the last. Thanks to the internet. But no thanks to mainstream media, which still tries to down Ron’s credibility. Just like in Singapore, no? See video below from CNN.
Ron Paul Walks Out On Interview With CNN Media Whore
Summary of Ron Paul’s Stand on Issues -
Here is a summary of Ron’s stand. On the Issues (Ron Paul).
Quite a long list which I did not go through all. But I do know that he is anti-war and pro-economy. The only issue I have against is his pro-drug legalisation. Other than that, I don’t have any real objections with his stand.
In the meantime, here’s one of Ron’s debate on why the Afghan war is illegal. This speech was made sometime in 2010.
This War Is Illegal! Ron Paul Afghanistan War Debate
1:55 min – Ron explains why the war in Afghanistan is illegal.
Oh yeah. This never gets played up on MSM in America, and neither does it get air time in Lapdog of America, Sinkiepore.
Concluding Words -
There’s really no choice but to vote for Ron Paul if you’re an American and don’t wish to have wars. There’s really no other presidential candidate who is serious about ending the illegal terror wars caused by America.
Unfortunately, the war machine of America has big funds to sponsor big guns and would never allow Ron to smell the White House.
Let’s hope that the American people are saner than the war hawks.

S’pore like US, makes enemies out of friends
Posted by Barrie on December 17, 2011
US the warmongering nation is known for its ability to make enemies out of allies and friends. I have covered much about how US does that in the Mid Easts region in this blog. As if making foes in that part of the world is not enough, it has of late been irritating China by being nosy in the South China Sea region. And who but Lapdog Sinkiepore is behind Nosy US on a collision course with China?
US Navy eyes stationing ships in Singapore
The US Navy will station several new coastal combat ships in Singapore and perhaps in the Philippines in coming years, moves likely to fuel China’s fears of being encircled and pressured in the South China Sea row.
The US gives the excuse that it is to fight piracy in the area. But we all know that is bull. It just wants to control the sea routes around this part of the world.
Sinkiepore, the Lapdog that will do anything to America’s bidding, stupidly jumps into the fray. Firstly, by allowing US to put its big ships here, America’s enemies see our shares as perfect targets. Secondly, this is not going to please China either.
So now, not only we make ourselves targets of attacks against American interests, we have also rubbed our good economic friend China, the wrong way.
Lapdog Sinkiepore, like US, sure knows how to make enemies out of friends.

Unstealthy Drone is latest incident of US Incompetency and Embarrassment
Posted by Barrie on December 11, 2011
Why all the hooha from the Mainstream Media about the US downed drone? Why all about America’s loss of military tech and know how to Iran and its allies like Russia and China, rather than about America’s hostile action of sending a drone deep into Iranian territory?
Wouldn’t there be a big loud cry among US and its hypocritical allies, if Iran were to send a spy drone into say Europe or Israel? That’s food for thought.
The fact that US had remained silent about this incident for so long, which is so much in contrast to its usual roaring chest-thumping style, shows that its downed drone in Iran is seriously affecting and compromising US military strategy and technology.
Iran shows film of captured US drone
Iranian TV has shown the first video footage of an advanced US drone aircraft that Tehran says it downed 140 miles (225km) from the Afghan border.
Images show Iranian military officials inspecting the RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft which appears to be undamaged.
US officials have acknowledged the loss of the unmanned plane, saying it had malfunctioned.
However, Iranian officials say its forces electronically hijacked the drone and steered it to the ground.
Another report below.
Iran shows film of captured US drone
Iran’s Press TV said that the Iranian army’s “electronic warfare unit” brought down the drone on 4 December as it was flying over the city of Kashmar, about 140 miles (225km) from the Afghan border.
Nato said at the weekend that an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft had been flying a mission over western Afghanistan late last week when its operators lost control of it.
Pentagon officials have said they are concerned about Iran possibly acquiring information about the technology.
Iran, the most challenging target -
I have been writing quite a few articles on why Iran is the most difficult target to be attacked. One of the biggest factor is that so little is known about Iran. Ever since the Shah (America’s lackey) was deposed, the US and its allies have very little military intelligence info on Iran. This includes Iran’s defence tech, hardware and the physical locations of their military installations. Bomb Iran? Let’s lay out the cards (Part 2 – Geopolitical Perspective)
US Lacks Intelligence -
(I mean militarily and not literally – but if you want to take the latter, that’s fine too, ha ha)It is an irony that this break in diplomatic relationship between US and Iran is one of the reasons why it is now difficult to invade Iran, as compared to Iraq or even Afghanistan.
US had a close relationship with Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war. US could collect intelligence easily. As for Afghanistan, US helped it against the war against Russia. Again, intelligence gathering could be done easily. However, because of the break in relationship with Iran since 1979, only limited intelligence could be gathered from inside the country, if any at all. This now poses a problem. US can only gather intelligence from the outside, eg using satellite images and feeders who “defect” from Iran – not forgetting the fact they have proven to be unreliable at times.
Iran is a huge country and many of the targets US would like to hit are underground. How deep? How well fortified? How well defended? All not known – unlike Iraq.
US tries to downplay the claim that Iran downed the drone electronically. If that claim by Iran is true, it serves as a warning to US and all its warmongering allies that there is so much about Iran’s military defence tech they do not know.
The fact that the drone is in one piece, without any damage supports the claim that it was brought down deliberately by electronic means, rather than blasted off the sky, or it crashed down due to malfunction.
America has had an embarrassing record of incompetency waging war against Iran -
The downed drone is a reminder to the United States of Terrormerica that after more than three decades since US was kicked out from Iran in 1979, it still is not ready to invade its prized target, Iran. Here are past very embarrassing events of US incompetency, which would have been good for laughs, if not for the deaths of hundreds, innocents included.
I wrote an article on the above here – US Armed Forces – the most incompetent military in the world
In the article above, I discussed America’s horrendous incompetence which could have been passed off as a comedy of errors, if not for the large number of lives lost. Here is the list.
1. During the Iran-Iraq War in which US at that time supported Iraq, one of its frigate was hit by two Exocets released by (friendly) Iraqi fire. The captain of the frigate took no defensive action to take down the missiles. 37 US Navy crewmen died. USS Stark (FFG-31)
2. In the same war, probably due to panic because of the frigate incident, the US captain of a warship mistook a big fat slow-moving jumbo Iranian civilian airbus for a small fast fighter jet and brought it down with an anti-aircraft missile. 290 innocent civilians died. Again, this shows incompetence on the part of the US military. Iran Air Flight 655
Note that when defensive action was needed in Case #1, no action was taken. 37 US crewmen died because of the inaction due to US incompetence. In Case #2, where defensive action was not needed, action was taken. This time, 290 innocent civilians died and again it was because of US incompetence.
3. But perhaps the most embarrassing and of all goofs is Operation Eagle Claw. This was a rescue op to get American hostages who were held in Iran after the Iranian Revolution. Operation Eagle Claw
The plan called for a minimum of six helicopters; eight were sent in.[3] Two helicopters could not navigate through a very fine sand cloud (a haboob) which forced one helicopter to crash land and the other to return to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68). Six helicopters reached the initial rendezvous point, Desert One, but one of them had damaged its hydraulic systems. The spares were on one of the two helicopters that had aborted. From the early planning stages, it had been determined that if fewer than six operational helicopters were available, then the mission would be automatically aborted, even though only four were absolutely necessary for the operation.[3] In a move still debated,[4] the commanders on the scene requested to abort the mission; Carter gave his approval.
As the U.S. force prepared to leave Iran, one of the helicopters crashed into a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft containing fuel and a group of servicemen. The resulting fire destroyed the two aircraft involved [3] and resulted in the remaining helicopters being left behind and the deaths of eight American servicemen. Operation Eagle Claw was one of the first missions conducted by Delta Force.[5]
The entry was a disaster and the exit was catastrophic. Such is the incompetence of the US military in Iranian territory. This occurred 31 years ago in 1980 . The earlier two incidents occurred in the later part of 1980s during the Iran-Iraq War.
Fast forward to Dec 2011, US is still jinxed whenever it comes to hostile military moves against Iran.
My Personal Observation -
I have noted (since 1979) somehow, whenever US tries to invade or attack Iran militarily, it is humiliated in front of the whole world how incompetent it is.
The latest case is of course the hostile stealth drone that tried to spy on Iran, which turned out to be so unstealthy, it was brought down in one piece for the Iranians and its allies to get “free transfer” of military tech from Terrormerica.

Hypocrisy of Democrazy Elections
Posted by Barrie on December 10, 2011
The Western powers, especially the United States of America, purport to “free the people” of dictatorships, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. But when the people vote democratically an Islamic govt, democracy turns to hypocrisy.
How many times have we seen that whenever the people of the land were to vote in the “wrong govt”, these hypocrites from the West either brand the new govt as terror groups, or stand idly if the newly elected govt is blocked by the incumbent powers that are aligned to the West? The latest example is Egypt.
Egypt’s rulers: Parliament won’t be representative
Egypt’s military rulers said Wednesday the next parliament will not be representative enough to independently oversee the drafting of a constitution, and they will appoint a council to check the influence of religious extremists on the process.
The announcement followed a surprisingly strong showing by Islamist groups who took the overwhelming majority in the first round of parliamentary elections. The outcome caused concern among the liberals who drove Egypt’s uprising and the military, which took power from ousted leader Hosni Mubarak.
“We are in the early stages of democracy,” said Gen. Mukhtar Mulla, a member of the ruling military council. “The parliament is not representing all sectors of society.”
Ha ha. The people voted and they overwhelmingly ditched the liberal western lackey govt into the drain. And the current interim govt (another Western lackey) says this is not representative?
Egyptians threw Mubarak out, but his military still wants power -
The military has had very close ties with Mubarak, the Western Zionist Lackey that the people got rid of. The military took over during the interim period till elections. The electorate chose an Islamic govt. So what’s the military trying to say now?
Wait a minute, why the cold steely silence from United States of Terrormerica and its allies? I am sure if an Islamic party were to block a secular one, these hypocrites would be jumping up sky high from their seats!
Not first time Hypocrite West stands idly -
This is not the first time the Western powers who purport to promote democracy promote hypocrisy instead. Gazans voted Hamas as their governing leaders too. Yet, US and its gangster of allies don’t recognise Hamas as the legitimate ruling power in Gaza, but instead promotes western lackey Abbas.
In 1991, the Islamic Front was on its way to a landslide victory in Algeria. The incumbent govt which sensed the defeat, immediately sent out tanks to mow down the Islamic supporters literally. Many were killed. Yet, the hypocrites of the world did nothing!
Compare that event to the Tianenmen Square incident where tanks were also used to mow down demonstrators. There were no short of harsh words, plus all the PR campaign and propaganda against Red China.
Ah, the hypocrisy of democrazy elections!
My Conclusion -
When the West tells you it favours Democracy, it means that it wants you to vote for the kind of govt it wants.
That’s Democracy Western style, otherwise known as Democrazy.

Iran the decoy, Syria the target
Posted by Barrie on December 6, 2011
The last few months saw much war drum beating from The United States of Terrormerica and its allies against Iran. However, in the last few weeks, it appears that it was just a decoy. It looks like the real target is Syria. I have come to that conclusion based on two very significant events. They are:
1. Steady US/NATO military build up near Syria rather than Iran.
2. Russia has responded militarily in Syria’s case, whereas none for Iran.
Here’s an article about Russia moving in to prevent an air strike on Syria AFTER US had placed an aircraft carrier some days earlier.
BREAKING: Military Confrontation between Washington and Moscow? Russian Warships head for Syria
Moscow is deploying warships at its base in the Syrian port of Tartus. The long-planned mission comes, providentially, at the very moment when it could help prevent a potential conflict in the strategically important Middle Eastern country.
The Russian battle group will consist of three vessels led by the heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser, Admiral Kuznetsov.
Russian military officials insist that the move has no connection with the ongoing crisis in the region and was planned a year ago, the Izvestia newspaper reports.
No connection with ongoing crisis? Ha ha. Then why the need for Russia to deploy S-300 anti-aircraft missiles?
The Russian warships that arrived in Syrian territorial waters in recent days were reportedly carrying technical advisors who will assist the Syrian government in setting up an array of the super-advanced S-300 missiles.
The S-300 is highly sophisticated. It can track up to 100 incoming targets and engage 12 at a time. Hmm…now wait a minute. Isn’t this an indication that Russia expects US/NATO to use their usual air-raid style on Syria?
The S-300 is very versatile. It is mobile and can be launched within just a few minutes. A sure deterrent to any hostile forces who think they can invade with an air raid.
A video clip showing a military exercise which deployed the S-300
S-300 missile crews destroy ten aerial targets in two minutes
My Personal Observation and Comments
Firstly, it is not a secret that the United States of Terrormerica wants to control the Mid East because of OIL $$$. At the moment, many of the Arab countries are in America’s pocket, simply because the Arab rulers are American Lackeys.
Saddam Hussein had a fallout and hence needed to be replaced. No need to update you on what the status is. So far of all the nations in the Mid East and N Africa, Iran is the most elusive. The last time America managed to control it was in 1979 just before the Shah or Iran (another puppet of US) was disposed unceremoniously. It can also be claimed that of all the nations in the Mid East, Iran is the “most hostile” towards America. Hence, re-invading Iran has always been on America’s plan since 1979.
But Iran is not an easy target. I have discussed that in this blog in detail, in four parts.
Bomb Iran? Let’s lay out the cards (Part 1 – Military Perspective)
Bomb Iran? Let’s lay out the cards (Part 2 – Geopolitical Perspective)
Bomb Iran? Let’s lay out the cards (Part 3 – Economic Perspective)
Bomb Iran? Let’s lay out the cards (Part 4 – Israeli Involvement)
That’s why there’s just a lot of hot air talk for years about invading Iran, but no action yet.
Syria on the other hand is different. Syria appears to be an easier target. In fact, Israel has breached its airspace a few times the last few years, and that is an indication that US, Israel and their allies were testing ground, and are now more confident taking out Syria than Iran.
Russia knows what those warmongers are up to -
Russia ain’t stupid, unlike US. It knows danger when it sees it. The fact that Russia has sent ships and its sophisticated anti-aircraft S-300 to Syria, but rather cool towards defending Iran, shows that it knows that Syria is the more likely target.
Russia has very little waterfront. Iran is currently its ally and that’s the only water front access it has in the Mid East and Asian area. In the west, the only access to the Med Sea is, yep, Syria. So if Syria falls to US, the last only accessible waterfront for Russia in the Med Sea will go too.
That’s the reason is willing to deploy its military to tell US and its warmongering allies that it means business.
My Personal Assessment -
With Russia’s deployment, I doubt that US and their warmongering nations would raid Syria as easily as they did to Libya. After all, Russia has the most sophisticated surface to air anti-aircraft defence system, the S-300, at the moment.
As for Iran, the war drum beating will still continue. As it is, there probably won’t be an invasion just yet over there too. If there is to be one, Russia would be as quick to deploy their military stuff in the Persian Gulf as quickly as they did in the Med Sea.

Fellow Sporeans, I told you that you won’t wanna walk like an Egyptian
Posted by Barrie on December 3, 2011
Ten months ago, when Egyptians rallied for a change in regime, many Singaporeans celebrated as if they expect the same change for Singapore. Remember that was Feb 2011, a few months before our GE in May 2011.
The fact that Egypt got rid of their dictator and some Singaporeans (especially blog writers) acted as if it was a precedence to follow, showed just how little these guys know about world politics – especially Mid East issues.
I contested their feeling of joy and celebration and even said that what the Egyptians wanted isn’t really what Singaporeans want – ie a proper Islamic govt. Here is one of my articles on the “Egyptian Revolution” that called for change.
Singapore political scene is nowhere near Egypt’s
Do you really wanna “Walk Like an Egyptian”?
Before Singaporeans walk and talk like an Egyptian, let’s see what the Egyptians are asking for, on top of Mubarak’s ouster.
1. It must be remembered that the biggest opposition party that is asking for Mubarak’s ouster is the Muslim Brotherhood. That’s the organisation that was banned under Mubarak’s regime. Needless to say, the name of the organisation tells you about its ideals.
2. Non-interference from foreign governments, in particular, the US. Ah, isn’t that what Singapore bloggers who are asking for Human Rights and what not, is being detested in Egypt?
3. Closer alliance with neigbouring nations (Muslim ones of course, what did you expect?), and the distancing of ties with Israel. So is that what Singapore bloggers also want?
I made another post two days later, mentioning the Muslim Brotherhood waiting at the sidelines to take over.
For the last time, Egypt is not like Spore
US backed govt corruption the trigger, Islamic govt the “silver bullet” -
That’s about sums up what the Egyptians have in mind. While the US backed govt is corrupted, and that’s what triggered the protests, it is the belief that an Islamic governance would end all that. Suddenly, for the first time in 30 years, all parties who have been supporting the corrupt US Lackey Mubarak Regime are worried. That includes the US and Israel of course.
The biggest opposition influence in Egypt is the Muslim Brotherhood. This organisation is banned in Egypt and as such, the Muslim Brotherhood cannot form a political party to contest elections. But that has been circumvented easily. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood stand as independent candidates – and they have been doing quite well, considering the oppressive Mubarak Regime.
Fast forward ten months ahead and this is what has unfolded in Egypt’s Elections so far…
Islamists sweep early results in Egypt election
Early results from Egypt’s first post-revolution election showed Islamist parties sweeping to victory, including hardline Salafists, with secular parties trounced in many areas.
Partial figures trickled in for the areas of the country that voted in record numbers on Monday and Tuesday, confirming earlier predictions that Islamist parties would win at least two thirds of the ballots cast.
In northern Port Said, the moderate Islamist alliance led by the previously banned Muslim Brotherhood triumphed with 32.5 percent of votes for parties, while the hardline Al-Nur party gained 20.7 percent, the Al-Ahram daily said.
The liberal Wafd party won 14 percent, while another Islamist party, Al-Wassat which advocates a strict interpretation of Islamic law, recorded 12.9 percent, according to the state-run newspaper.
In the southern Red Sea district, the Brotherhood’s alliance won 30 percent, while secular coalition the Egyptian Bloc came in second with 15 percent, it said.
I have noted that ever since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the general population in the Mid East and N Africa have been watching which will be the next Islamic Republic, to the dismay of America and its allies.
1991 in Algeria, the Islamic Front was on its way to a landslide victory, triggering concerns among the Western allies. However, the incumbent govt used its military machinery to literally mow down the Islamic supporters. The West world watched idly at this civil genocide because it was a secular govt that was oppressing the Islamic supporters.
This year in 2011, we have seen Morocco, Tunisia and now Egypt, all voting for Islamic governance. I can’t help the feeling that it is America’s own undoing. For decades, America has used lackeys to control the Muslim states. They have also allowed Israel to oppress West Bank, Gazan and Lebanese Palestinians. After decades of oppression and suppression from US and Western lackeys, these nations have finally decided what’s best for them – an Islamic governance.
Like I said, Singaporeans (especially the blog writers) who have been rejoicing and who wished to have an Egypt style revolution, should know what Egyptians are asking for.
It isn’t just regime change. It is Islamic governance.
You still wanna walk like an Egyptian?
