a. telling the truth and risking their own lives/health and those of their families, or

b. lying or omitting information hurtful to Hamas or helpful to Israel.

The purpose of a fact-finding mission is *not* to broadcast raw testimony without verification; rather, it is to determine the facts based on all sources available, including *confidential* sources, and then to report on the facts as uncovered. Its procedures must be designed to encourage truthful testimony, not to facilitate intimidation of witnesses.

Gaza is a totalitarian statelet ruled by Hamas, an organization that seized absolute power in a violent coup in 2007. Within Gaza, Hamas armed fighters and security teams operate with an iron fist, and their tactics are consistent and violent. Many Ordinary Gazans are intimidated.
So… . Goldstone made witnesses testify *in public*. He placed honest witnesses in potentially mortal danger, and he made it easy for dishonest witnesses to succumb to their dishonesty.

While native national guard troops are moved overseas in the escalation to WW3 (all predicted by freemason Albert Pike 150 years ago), foreign troops are being rolled in just like the Hessians were brought in against American Revolutionaries to do the dirty work….they will have no problem killing and incarcerating American citizens.

Articles like the above seem to get their jollies from America-bashing, but that’s just the surface issue. The author is just another useful idiot to these freaks.

We are all basically pawns to the global elitists. Part of their PLAN is to demonize America/Americans (like they did to Germany in WW2) because America stands in the way to their one-world-government.

Better to focus on the root of the problem: global elitists, aligned with their god Lucifer, who are out to control humanity. The U.S. military is just another pawn in their blueprint.

I believe we have reached the tipping point …. God will remove his hand of protection, and it smells like we’re at the beginning of the Revelation prophecies.

Therefore, there is only one way “out.” Salvation through Jesus Christ. There is a REASON the globalists have been trying to destroy Christianity…..strong Christians are the enemy. You may not believe it, but THEY certainly do, and will act accordingly.

You cannot take on supernatural evil w/o supernatural savior through Jesus Christ. Sorry, no new age crystals or seances will do it (I know, I tried there first). Forget the Catholic church, the Pat Robertson’s, the Joel Osteen’s….they are NOT Christianity.

Christianity is our relationship with God Above, through Jesus Christ and the word, as written the King James Authorized Version of the Bible (NOT later “versions”—all slickly satanic).

Yes, I’m a new freak for Jesus.

Please choose a side.

The British, facing severe financial problems and problems with their African bases wanted the US to participate in a joint base development further north of Diego Garcia. The US wasn’t interested. Diego Garcia was suggested. While the Senate was on board and the House was reluctant to spend the money (about $25 million was a good bit of spending in the late 60’s) Defense wasn’t all that interested in Diego. Robert McNamara nixed the idea because it was too far from the oil tanker routes to be of any use.

Then the British unexpectedly announced they were pulling out all troops from east of the Suez. The US had relied on the British troop presence in the Middle East to ride herd on oil interests. That changed things decidedly and Diego became necessary to continue the oil-based foreign policy in the Middle East.

From what I turned up and from reading various accounts of the ‘evacuation’ it appears that the islanders were moved by the British in a very insensitive fashion. It may not have been legal under international law for the US to move those people.There is some dispute about who gassed the dogs and the beasts of burden. Since it was done during the evacuation it is reasonable to conclude that the ones evacuating the Chagossians, the British, did the gassing.

The British eventually gave the Chagossians some money but many had fallen into alcoholism, depression, and other form of despair. They were eventually given British citizenship, some moved to England, others elsewhere.

It appears to me after reading various articles that Mr. Vine may have an unspoken agenda. Who knows what that might be but he seems to be tapping a sentiment that the US military is some anonymous force that goes about the world surreptitiously carrying out the will of evil corporations at the expense of the taxpayers and the US image overseas.

Perhaps that is true but I don’t think so in this matter.

There was some legal trickery that prohibited the Chagossian’s case from being heard in US courts. You can look at that as the US avoiding its responsibilities or protecting taxpayer dollars from being spent when the British should be the ones to pay.

What readers might consider is that all Middle East foreign policy decisions over the past 60 years have been, are, and will be about oil. Oil that is needed to meet the demands of our culture and economy. You know, the one that allows you to waste energy on unnecessary car trips, inefficient use of home and office electricity, and gadgets we can probably do without.

The continuing saga on this issue is far more riling; it appears that the forces behind relocating the Chagossians would like to see a very expensive eco-resort there. The Chagsossians wouldn’t necessarily get to rebuild their culture but would get to run shops, clean rooms, serve the guests. Frankly, I’m not sure I would want to visit an eco-resort or live in a location that is within impact distance of a terror strike against Diego.

Go ahead, Mr. President. Sign the “hate” bill. By doing so you will help to fulfill the predicted repeat of the “days of Lot” in Luke 17 – days which today seem anxious to outperform their ancient counterparts! You have already been helping to fulfill the predicted repeat of the “days of Noah” in the same chapter – that is, violence towards the unborn which presently is matching, if not surpassing, the violence that forced God in Genesis 6 to announce that He would soon destroy everyone except Noah and his family. Mr. President, by helping to fulfill both of the above “days” you will discover that God has His Almighty veto over what you say and do!
