Israel attacks Gaza-bound boat in International Waters, Defying International Law Kidnaps Parliamentarians and activists

From Robert Naiman

follow #Estelle on Twitter.

Shortly after 4:00AM EDT when the Gaza-bound Estelle was in international waters approx. 17 Nautical Miles north of Arish, Egypt (as per the last coordinates we have) Israeli warships surrounded the Estelle and the assault on the peaceful ship started.

Communications were lost at that time and all reports we got from the ship were choppy.

We believe based on prior Israeli threats and practice that the boat and passengers will be taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod and that the passengers will be charged with entering Israel illegally even though they have done no such thing.

Among others, the following individuals were on board:

Former Member of Parliament Manly James, Canada
Member of Parliament Hagen Aksel, Norway
Member of Parliament Britton Sven, Sweden
Member of Parliament Kodelas Dimitios, Greece
Member of Parliament Sixto Ricardo, Spain
Member of Parliament Diamantopoulos  Evangelos, Greece

Obama supports fascist Zionism and is a totalitarian tyrant
Submitted by Socialchange on Sat, 10/20/2012 - 8:37am.

 



Several years ago, when commenting on Newsvine, I came to some fundamental conclusions, which have unfolded over the last few years. I realized that all social theories, from Plato to Marx, was a response to totalitarian class systems to reclaim independent, indivisible social power that existed before class history and Patriarchy usurped, inverted, corrupted, co opted, substituted the Matriarchy and its social mechanism for class enslavement, deforming Human Nature, our social Nature as well.

I also came to the conclusion that all class systems cripple, deform , limit social reforms and degenerate into devolving class cycles into proto totalitarianism and Empire sliding into police states and dictatorships. All social reforms, experiments in democracy are partial, corrupted class outcomes, never independent, indivisible, so long as the Patriarchal class mechanism and its class hierarchies have not be dissolved by a global, universal, INDIVISIBL...
E middle class, not FRACTURED OR SUBORDINATED by class hierarchies which corrupt democracy, into a zero sum game as all rigged class systems do.

Like Plato who attempted to graft social and democratic reforms into the existing Patriarchal class mechanism, the Enlightenment and French revolution also failed when the social theories were co opted, corrupted, inverted, by introducing class compromise, even slavery, colonialism, apartheid, as a new class system, Capitalism, in the mix with Democracy. Class democracies, class republics are always failed class states, not moving towards evolutionary social power, democracy, instead degenerating into devolving class cycles, proto totalitarianism, whose capitalist form is proto fascism, or corporatism. Western nations and its criminal leaders, along with Obama, Bush and many others, have become totalitarian, proto fascist tyrants, forming a global fascist Matrix. He supports the crimes of Bush and Israel, including fascist Zionism, and illegal seizures of ships in international waters.
