The 67 year old slender Jinnah calmly grabs his wrist while his driver arrests the attacker. Jinnah proceeds with his work as if nothing happened. Rafiq Sabir belonged to the 'Khaksar Tehrik' that believed Muslims must rule the whole India by way of power. 
Dec 18, 1943: "The most important man in Asia is 67, tall, thin and elegant, with a monocle on a gray silk cord and a stiff white collar." (Beverly Hill Nichols, in his interview with the great leader titled 'Dialogue With A Giant')

1946 address: M.A. Jinnah addresses students in Deccan, "In Islam, the ultimate obedience belongs to God alone. The only way to follow His Guidance is through the Holy Qur'an. Islam does not preach obedience to a king, parliament, person or any institution. The Islamic government means Rule of the Qur'an. And how can you establish the Rule of the Qur'an without an independent state? In this state, legislation will take place within the boundaries drawn by the Qur'an." 
1946: Jinnah reaches this conclusion, "All the conferences in the world cannot reconcile the stark differences between the Hindu and Muslim ideologies." 
1946: "What are our utmost demands? The answer is Pakistan."

1947: "Jinnah is the Muslim League. For him, people invariably fall in line. No one has any doubt what he means when he speaks. He speaks what he means and he means what he speaks." (R.G. Casey, Governor of Bengal) 
June 3, 1947: Quaid-e-Azam gives the great news of freedom to the Indian Muslims. From All India Radio, Delhi he exclaims, "Pakistan Zindabad!" (Long Live Pakistan!) 
July 1947: "In the history of nations, an enemy of today is a friend of tomorrow." 
August 7, 1947: Jinnah flies from Delhi to Karachi in his beautiful silver Dakota. 
August 7, 1947: "Do you know I never expected to see Pakistan in my lifetime?" (On reaching Karachi)

You may belong to any religion or caste or creed, that has nothing to do with the fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of the state…" 
These words were Jinnah's, but the thought and beliefs were an inheritance from Prophet Muhammad: "Today I trample under my feet all the distinctions of caste, color, and nationality." (Hector Bolitho) 
Aug 12, 1947: "Muhammad (the exalted Prophet) was the greatest lawgiver, statesman and sovereign." 
Aug 13, 1947: "The single-mindedness and persistent integrity of Muhammad Ali Jinnah gave him the victory over all his adversaries." (M.K. Gandhi)

July 1, 1948: Comes to Karachi for the inauguration ceremony of the State Bank of Pakistan. He asserts, "The adoption of Western Economic Theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contented people. We must work our destiny in our own way, and present to the world an economic system based on the true Islamic concepts of equality of mankind and social justice." This was the last official engagement of M.A. Jinnah. 
Aug. 1948: Muhammad Ali Jinnah's personal physician Col. Elahi Baksh said, "Sir! You must have woolen pajamas." Quaid-e-Azam replied, "Listen Doctor, whenever you spend money on me. Think twice whether it is necessary or not."

Sep 11, 1948: Moves back to Karachi.

1950: Jinnah used to say, "A spade should be called a spade." And he always did that. (Historian G.A. Alana) 
 1950: Gandhi was not happy if he achieved his objective through logical progression. He appealed to emotions. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was logical, practical and appealed to reason. (Sir D.B. Cunningham) 
1950: Jinnah apart from his integrity, which was frightening, was a powerful man; when he decided to dominate anyone, an individual or a multitude, he did. He spoke to Urdu understanding masses in English but they listened to him, bewitched! (Professor Khalid Bin Saeed, a noted historian)

Fox News Ignores and Pulls Post Debate Poll That Ron Paul Wins

Fox News Ignores and Pulls Post Debate Poll That Ron Paul Wins
Posted by Wake Up 1776 at 12:18 AM

The Fox News commentator tells everyone who just got done watching the Republican Presidential debate in Iowa to go on FoxNews.com and vote.  So then Hannity comes on and brings his hired propagandist Frank Luntz and then interviews several candidates except Ron Paul.  I don't even remember Hannity showing a video clip of Ron Paul during the entire show.

The announcement of the poll results was supposed to be done during the hour long Hannity post-debate show.  The entire show was a propaganda piece saying nice things about everyone but Ron Paul.

Well, it turns out Ron Paul won the FoxNews.com poll handily.  He won it by several thousand votes.  Here is a screenshot and a breakdown of the poll results shortly after 12 am ET (after Hannity's show concluded).

[]

1st Place: Paul with 7,796 votes
2nd Place:  Gingrich with 4,751 votes
3rd Place:  Cain with 2,425 votes
4th Place:  Romney (the supposed front-runner) with 1,870 votes
5th Place:  Bachmann (the other so-called front-runner) with 1,818 votes
6th Place:  Santorum with 835 votes
7th Place:  Huntsman with 303 votes
Last Place:  Pawlenty with 250 votes

Here is a state breakdown of the poll.  Ron Paul takes almost every state in the union except Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Georgia, and Mississippi.

[]

Shortly after Hannity's show, Fox News pulled the poll off their website:

[]

It was somewhere in the yellow area before it was pulled down.

So what does this mean?  This means that Ron Paul got over 7,000 votes in less than an hour from all 50 states from an audience that is mostly conservative that watched Fox News.  It also shows that he almost doubled the 2nd place contender's votes.  It also shows he won Iowa -- the main purpose for the Iowa debate and an early primary state.  It shows that Fox News is scared and that Frank Luntz is a liar.  It shows that Ron Paul has a real good shot at winning this election.

Urges for Swift Action to Locate Abducted Journalist in Pakistan

http://www.williamgomes.org/blog/?p=158

August 12, 2011

Mr. Asif Ali Zardari
President of Pakistan
President's Secretariat
Islamabad
PAKISTAN
Tel: +92 51 9204801/9214171
Fax: +92 51 9207458

RE: Urges for Swift Action to Locate Abducted Journalist in Pakistan

Dear President Asif Ali Zardari,,

I am sure you are just as horrified and concerned as I am about the abduction of Mr.Rehmatullah Dawar, who works with AAJ TV and the Urdu daily Ausaf.

According to information I have received Mr.Rehmatullah Dawar was abducted at a bazaar in Miranshah, the capital of the militancy-gripped agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), by unidentified men travelling in two cars with tinted windows.

The men fired shots in the air to keep people away as they bundled Dawar into one of the cars, according to reports.

The motivation for the abduction is unclear, and no one had claimed responsibility.

However, Ahmadullah Ahmadi, the spokesman for Haji Gul Bahader, the most powerful militant commander in North Waziristan, condemned the abduction and said the local Taliban would assist to locate Dawar, according to the Tribal Union of Journalists (TUJ).

I write to you to express my deep concern. I join International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) , Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) in demanding authorities in Pakistan take swift action to locate and safely recover a senior tribal journalist who was abducted in North Waziristan on August 11.

 

I urge to the Government of Pakistan to direct its authorities not to delay in investigating the abduction of Rehmatullah Dawar and to recover him safely.

I remind the Government of the failure of its authorities to take appropriate action in the case of Hayatullah Khan, who was similarly abducted in 2005. I urge that a similar failure not be permitted again.

The abduction of Dawar, who comes from Darparkhel village, reportedly has similarities with the case of Khan, who also worked with Ausaf and was abducted in North Waziristan in December 2005. His handcuffed body was found with several gunshot wounds six months later.

North Waziristan, bordering Afghanistan, is in the grip of an armed conflict between Pakistan security forces and militant groups believed to be associated with Al-Qaeda. The area is subject to regular strikes by US drones targeting suspected militants.

By the years in Pakistan Journalists have been harassed, arbitrarily arrested and detained, subjected to enforced disappearance, torture and extrajudicial killings. Contrary to the spirit of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, state agents have committed such violations at a recently increased rate, and with impunity.

These are crimes in domestic law, under international human rights law the state bears responsibility to prevent such abuses or to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.

I demand that Pakistani government take steps to provide security for journalists and allow them to carry out their duties without fear of harm and intimidation.

President Zardari, you have told the international community that the protection of journalists is in your mandate. I also want to remind you that you have told the international community that in past you had asked your cabinet members to work with Parliament in developing legislation to monitor and address attacks on journalists.

I ask you and your government to reaffirm the pledges you made to us and Pakistan's community of journalists.

It is shocking for me that government of Pakistan is silent on the issues of abduction and disappearances by the state intelligence agencies and no one has yet made responsible for these acts which have been happening since 2002. And during the civilian government this menace has increased many fold and it looks as if the government is simply a silent spectator before their powerful law enforcement agencies.

The case of abduction of Mr.Rehmatullah Dawar is the clear demonstration of the violation of freedom of expression and freedom of media even the freedom of right to making opinion which are not only guaranteed in the constitution of Pakistan and laws of the land but also to the article 18 and 19 of the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which was ratified by the government of Pakistan in April 2010.

Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and other international human rights instruments ratified by Pakistan.

I urge you to assure the safe recovery of Mr.Rehmatullah Dawar and prosecute in open court those who are responsible for the abduction and disappearances of the citizens.

I hope that you will take personal interest into the case and provide redress to the victim.

Yours sincerely,

William Nicholas Gomes

Re: Judge Halts Search for Cartoonist Who Embarrassed Cops

From I9 instructions: As you can see an I9 does not come close to
proof of citizenship. All the documents required that are available
require a passport to get .... the exception is a "social security
card". Indian ID's are indeed passports.


All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each
individual they hire for employment in the United States.************
This includes citizens and noncitizens.********** On the form, the
employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity
document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s)
reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual and
record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of
acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form.

In my ideal world, airline safety would be the responsibility of those with the most directly to lose financially from doing it poorly: the airlines and the airports. But even in a world where government has taken on that responsibility, we should be protected by the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches. It s one thing to walk through the standard metal detector, which seems reasonable, but when we are expected to pose virtually nude in a submissive position for government agents, and when refusing to do so earns you a feel-up that would count as sexual battery in most states, that is something else entirely.

And on top of everything else,it doesn t work! It s mere security theatre. When residents of the United States have a legitimate fear of being sexually abused by agents of the State when engaging in peaceful air travel, we live in a police state.SWAT TeamsAdd to this 1) the militarization of the police, with no-knock raids by full SWAT teams being the norm for everything from minor possession of marijuana tosuspected student-loan fraud, and 2) the Supreme Court s complicity in eviscerating the Fourth Amendment -- and two more pieces of the police state are in place. These raids often feature what writer Radley Balko calls puppycides. The cops shoot and kill any dogs in the house routinely, regardless of their behavior. Of course the cops often raid the wrong house, terrifying innocent people in the middle of the night and killingtheirdogs too. When residents of the United States have serious reason to fear the door being busted down in the middle of the night by armed agents of the State despite having done nothing wrong, we live in a police state.

The Border Patrol and the State Police had set up a roadblock on the county line about 30 miles from my house and at least 20 miles as the crow flies from the border with Canada. This is not uncommon, but this time two things were different. First, both groups of officers were fully armed. Second, they were asking questions. Normally they just peer into your car and let you go. This time, I was asked, Where are you coming from? ; Were you out of the state? ; and Do you have luggage in your trunk? They did not search the car, nor did they ask for ID (the latter probably because I m white), but it does not matter. When American citizens are stopped while traveling within their own state and asked to account for their whereabouts, we live in a police state.Do You Have Your Papers?Finally, a professional colleague of mine was recently on a train to Chicago with his teenage son. They are of Mexican descent, but both are American citizens. Border Patrol agents boarded the train and conducted a similar inquisition. My colleague and his son were hassled quite a bit and told that they probably should keep proof of citizenship with them when they travel within the United States. When innocent American citizens are told they should have their papers on them, we live in a police state.
> > > > My experience last weekend reflects the essence of the problem. Why were the cops and the Border Patrol there? They were looking for illegal immigrants, drugs, and potential terrorists. It s the perfect storm of statism that has brought us to this point. The combination of xenophobia, irrational fear of drugs, and the terror the State has whipped up about terrorists around every corner is the fuel on which this police state feeds. But a police state cannot emerge without many fellow citizens being willing to trade off their actual liberties for the false promise of security.
> > > > Since 9/11 the biggest threat to the American people is not radical Muslim terrorists, nor deranged domestic terrorists, but the terrorists with the blue uniforms, badges, and body armor. Their weapons of mass destruction are not bombs, but state-approved guns, latex-gloved hands, and a profound disregard for our rights. Until we stand up and say, Enough!theseterrorists will keep winning and our rights will continue to be lost.http://www.thefreemanonline.org/headline/yes-this-is-a-police-state/-Hide quoted text -

What U.S. President Has Multiple Sources in a Foreign Country Say He Was Born There?




What U.S. President Has Multiple Sources in a Foreign Country Say He Was Born There?

If you answered "Barry Soetoro Barack Hussein Obama," you're right!

Here's the evidence, from an advertisement published in The Washington Times, April 18, 2011. The ad was paid for by ordinary American citizens who donated funds at  ProtectOurLiberty.org:

1. Kenyan National Assembly members state at various times that Obama was born in Kenya: http://www.scribd.com/doc/36604073/

2. Kenyan Ambassador to the United States says on a U.S. radio show that Obama's birth location in Kenya is well known:

3. Newspapers in Kenya and other African countries report as far back as 2004 that Obama is Kenyan born:
http://www.scribd.com/my_document_collections/2441535

4. Obama's family members in Kenya say he was born there:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=107524

5. Michelle Obama says in 2008 that Kenya is her husband's "home country":
watch?v=Bx4Afe1NVYI

6. Michelle Obama in 2007 says her husband is a Kenyan:
watch?v=Rep-MB-wbkU

7. NPR radio says that Obama is Kenyan born: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=138293

8. Gov Richardson of New Mexico says Obama is an immigrant:
watch?v=YEjGmT1gmcw

9. School records in Indonesia report that he is an Indonesian citizen:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=72667

10. No hospital records exist in Hawaii proving Obama was born there per Tim Adams a 2008 Hawaii Election official's sworn affidavit:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=254401

All these people -- including Obama's own wife, Michelle -- must all be crazy!

Mark of the beast? I'm just saying that's all.




Mark of the beast? I'm just saying that's all.

Hmm, I wonder..

I don't know about you guy's , but this is kinda scary. Creepy stuff. Then again so is the guy above. :D

MARK OF THE BEAST?

Electronic skin tattoo has medical, gaming, spy uses.

The micro-electronics technology, called an epidermal electronic system (EES), was developed by an international team of researchers from the United States, China and Singapore, and is described in the journal Science.

"It's a technology that blurs the distinction between electronics and biology," said co-author"It's a technology that blurs the distinction between electronics and biology," said co-author John Rogers, a professor in materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

"Our goal was to develop an electronic technology that could integrate with the skin in a way that is mechanically and physiologically invisible to the user."

The patch could be used instead of bulky electrodes to monitor brain, heart and muscle tissue activity and when placed on the throat it allowed users to operate a voice-activated video game with better than 90 percent accuracy.

For Rest of Creepy Story, Pls go HERE!!
