Meticulous German Record Keeping
One of the great myths of the Nazi extermination of the Jews hoax is that the Germans destroyed all the records of the supposed extermination, particularly as those records related to the various alleged extermination camps. This is completely incorrect. In fact, the Germans meticulously documented virtually everything they did in these camps. Thus, the German documents show that in the western camps such as Dachau, the prisoners were adequately fed and housed until the break down in late 1944..

Another BTFD Week Begins
Following last week's last two day panic buying driven not by data (since in the US it has been delayed until late October and November, and elsewhere in the world it is just getting worse) but by the catalyst that the US isn't going to default (yes, that's all that is needed to push the S&P to all time highs) and just hopes that the tapering - that horrifying prospect of the Fed reducing its monthly monetization by $15 billion from $85 to $70 billion in line with the decline in the US deficit - will be delayed until March or June 2014 because, you see, the Fed isn't sure how the economy is doing, it makes no sense to even comment on the market.

Fallujah government buildings attacked
Two policemen killed in militant attacks on police, electricity HQs in Iraqi city, west of Baghdad.
|
| Middle East Online |
FALLUJAH, Iraq - Militants attacked police and electricity headquarters in the Iraqi city of Fallujah on Monday, killing two police, in the second such attack in two days, officers and a doctor said.
Iraq is suffering its worst violence since 2008, when the country was just emerging from a brutal sectarian conflict, and authorities have so far failed to curb the surge in unrest.
The violence began with a suicide bomber detonating explosives at the entrance of the police headquarters in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, while a second struck the nearby electricity department headquarters, police said.
Militants then hit the police headquarters from three sides with gunfire, mortar rounds and rocket-propelled grenades, entered the electricity department building, and fired on police with sniper rifles.
The violence killed two police, including a major, and wounded four others, the officers and a doctor said.
Interior ministry spokesman Brigadier General Saad Maan meanwhile said that security forces killed five suicide bombers in Fallujah, and that two police were wounded in the attack.
The attack came a day after a coordinated assault by suicide bombers on government buildings in Rawa, a town north of Fallujah that is also in Anbar province.
Two suicide bombers on foot and another driving a vehicle rigged with explosives attacked the local police headquarters in Rawa, while another bomber in a vehicle struck an army checkpoint at the town's entrance.
Another three bombers on foot and a fourth in a vehicle attacked the local administrative headquarters while officials were meeting inside.
The bombings killed at least eight people, including three members of the local council for the area and three police.
Militants, including those linked to Al-Qaeda, frequently target Iraqi security forces and other government employees.
With the latest attacks, more than 490 people have been killed so far this month, and more than 5,200 since the beginning of the year, according to figures from security and medical sources.
A study released this month by academics based in the United States, Canada and Iraq said nearly half a million people have died from war-related causes in Iraq since the US-led invasion of 2003.

Lebanese ex-hostage strung along with lies by Syrian captors
Ali Termos says his captors moved him 13 times in 17 months, constantly stringing him along with lie that freedom was hours away.
|
| Middle East Online |
BEIRUT - Lebanese ex-hostage Ali Termos says his Syrian rebel captors moved him 13 times during his 17-month ordeal, constantly stringing him along with the lie that freedom was hours away.
"My nerves were wrecked. I counted that we were moved 13 times, maybe more," he said in his living room, hours after his release and return home late Saturday via Turkey.
"They told us we would be freed 100 times. But they were lying, they would move us and then there was no release. It tormented our morale," he said.
Termos was among 11 Shiite men abducted by rebel fighters in northern Syria in May 2012 as they were returning from a pilgrimage to a Shiite sacred site in Iran along with female relatives.
They had travelled by bus through Turkey and were heading home when rebels fighting to oust the Syrian regime seized them just a short distance away from the border crossing into Lebanon.
The gunmen ordered all 11 Shiite male pilgrims off the buses but let the women continue on their journey. Two men were subsequently freed.
The nine others returned home at the weekend thanks to a deal mediated by Qatar and Turkey, which also led to the freedom of two Turkish pilots who had been seized in Beirut in August in a tit-for-tat abduction.
Back home in Beirut's southern suburbs, a bastion of Lebanon's powerful Shiite movement Hezbollah, Ali is surrounded by his wife, his three children and a sea of well-wishers.
They have come in waves to congratulate him on his safe return from Syria, flooding his house all day on Sunday.
The house is decked in yellow balloons and relatives offer coffee and platters of sticky-sweet cakes to express their gratitude for such compassion and Termos' return.
Termos recalled how they were moved to various rebel positions near the Turkish border, including a tent under scorching heat and a room with bare essentials.
The men only had the clothes on their backs which they washed and put out to dry, he said.
Cooking was also an ordeal.
"For a while they brought us ready-made food, but the rest of the time they brought us foodstuff and we had to cook. Sometimes we had to cook in a bathroom.
"One of our captors asked me 'What will you say about us after you are released?' I did not answer.
"What can I say about someone who abducted me and deprived me of my wife and my children? That he was feeding me?"
'They are not humans'
Ali Abbas had harsher words for his captors.
"They are not Sunnis, or Shiites, or Christians or humans either," said the young man who also returned home on Saturday after 17 months in captivity.
Well-wishers have also thronged his family home and his parents are greeting them and offering juice and cake to mark the occasion. Flowers and multi-coloured balloons festooned the house.
"You know psychological and moral abuse and undermining people's dignity is worse than physical abuse," he said.
"Our worst fear was fear itself," Abbas added.
"Eleven of the sites they took us to were totally destroyed in bombardment and blasts and many times we thought the would kill us," he added.
But both Termos and Abbas said they were not beaten or tortured by their captors.
Abbas said their fate changed on Thursday when their captors forced them to don bags over their heads and drove them to an unknown destination.
They were taken into a room where a man awaited them, saying "'You are safe inside Turkish territory,'" said Abbas.
"It was a wonderful moment. I cannot describe it, but those words changed everything."
Lebanese officials have said the men were freed on Friday and taken to Turkey the following day before their return to Lebanon.

Gaza militants: We dug tunnel into Israel to kidnap soldiers
Izzadine al-Qassam insists only way to succeed against Israeli occupation is to kidnap soldiers.
|
| Middle East Online |
GAZA CITY - The military wing of Gaza's ruling Hamas said on Monday that it masterminded what Israel called a "terror tunnel" from Gaza into the Jewish state, meant to kidnap Israeli soldiers.
"This tunnel was made by the hand of the fighters of (Izzadine) al-Qassam and they will not sleep in their efforts to hit the occupation and kidnap soldiers," the group's spokesman Abu Obeida told Hamas's al-Aqsa radio.
"We are working on the ground and under the ground to release the prisoners (held by Israel)," he said.
"Kidnapping soldiers is the only way to succeed against the (Israeli) occupation."
Israeli officials last Sunday said troops had uncovered a tunnel running from Gaza 450 metres (yards) into Israel and allegedly intended as a springboard for attacks.
In June 2006 a group of Hamas and other militants snuck into Israel through a cross-border tunnel, seized Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and took their prisoner back to Gaza the same way.
He was released on October 18, 2011 in exchange for 1,027 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
The trade was feted by Hamas as "an historic victory."
On Friday the Israeli army sent Palestinians in the Gaza Strip phone and text messages accusing the Islamist movement of putting its money into tunnelling projects rather than education and welfare for civilians.
"Know that Hamas is spending millions of dollars on tunnels used for hostile and terrorist acts against the state of Israel," the messages said. "This money should have gone to infrastructure, education and health projects."

France demands US explanation over 'shocking' spying claims
Report US spy agency taped 70.3 million phone calls in France over 30-day between December 10 and January 8 this year, targeted people suspected of terrorism, high-profile individuals.
|
| Middle East Online |
PARIS - France said Monday it is demanding explanations after a report that the US National Security Agency secretly recorded millions of phone calls made in the country.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls described the revelations in Le Monde newspaper as "shocking", in an interview with French radio Europe 1.
The spy agency taped 70.3 million phone calls in France over a 30-day period between December 10 and January 8 this year, Le Monde reported in its online version, citing documents from former US security contractor Edward Snowden.
According to the paper, the NSA automatically picked up communications from certain phone numbers in France and recorded text messages under a programme code-named "US-985D."
Le Monde said the documents gave grounds to believe that the NSA targeted not only people suspected of being involved in terrorism but also high-profile individuals from the world of business or politics.
US authorities declined comment to the French daily on the "classified" documents.
The Le Monde article followed similar revelations by German weekly Der Spiegel that US agents had hacked into the email account of former Mexican president Felipe Calderon.
Mexican authorities have said they will be seeking answers from US officials "as soon as possible" following the allegations.
Snowden, who has taken refuge in Russia, is wanted in the United States for espionage and other charges after leaking details of the NSA's worldwide snooping activities.

Amnesty slams worsening Saudi rights record
Rights watchdog accuses Saudi Arabia of relying on its political, economic clout to deter international community from criticising its dire human rights record.
|
| Middle East Online |
DUBAI - Amnesty International on Monday said Saudi Arabia had failure to act on UN recommendations and "ratcheted up the repression" since 2009, with the arbitrary detention and torture of activists.
The London-based watchdog's statement was released ahead of a UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva on Monday to discuss the oil-rich kingdom's record, and comes after Riyadh rejected a seat on the UN Security Council, citing the international body's "double standards" and inability to resolve regional conflicts.
"Saudi Arabia's previous promises to the UN have been proven to be nothing but hot air," said Amnesty's MENA director Philip Luther, accusing the kingdom of relying "on its political and economic clout to deter the international community from criticising its dire human rights record."
In its report titled "Saudi Arabia: Unfulfilled Promises," Amnesty criticised "an ongoing crackdown including arbitrary arrests and detention, unfair trials, torture and other ill-treatment over the past four years" in the kingdom.
"Not only have the authorities failed to act, but they have ratcheted up the repression" since 2009, said Luther.
"For all the peaceful activists that have been arbitrary detained, tortured or imprisoned in Saudi Arabia since, the international community has a duty to hold the authorities to account," he said.
Amnesty renewed calls for Saudi authorities to release two prominent rights activists handed heavy jailed terms in March.
Mohammed al-Gahtani and Abdullah al-Hamed were sentenced to 11 and 10 years imprisonment respectively for violating a law on cybercrime by using Twitter to denounce various aspects of political and social life in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
They are co-founders of the independent Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA).
"These men are prisoners of conscience who should be released immediately and unconditionally," said Luther.
"Their peaceful activism against human rights violations deserves praise not punishment. The only guilty party here is the government," he added.
Amnesty documented other rights violations it said are committed by Saudi authorities such as "systemic discrimination of women in both law and practise" and "abuse of migrant workers."
Women in the kingdom are not allowed to drive and need permission from their male guardians to travel.
It also accused the Sunni-ruled kingdom of "discrimination against minority groups," including Shiites concentrated in the Eastern Province who occasionally protest to demand more rights.
Amnesty also faulted the kingdom for "executions based on summary trials and 'confessions' extracted under torture."
The kingdom has executed 69 people so far this year.
Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under the Gulf state's strict version of sharia, or Islamic law.
