SEVEN PARLIAMENTS IN BELGIUM


YELLOW  - Flemish and Walloon
RED - French
BLUE - German

BBC report reveals an unbelievable situation in Belgium. Not only do they have different language such as Flemish, French, Dutch, Walloon and Champenois to cope with but have seven different Parliaments.

It is this complex system that attracts extremists because it is easier to live there amongst their people without being detected.

A further advantage Belgium is bordered by four countries and with Schenken open borders makes it easy to slip in and out.

There are many EU institutes based especially in Brussels makes it Europe’s diplomatic and military centre, include NATO.

Brussels is also known for international illegal arms trade.

Belgium immigration began after the WW2. It needed workers for its coal and steel industry. The real reason lies in Belgium’s complex and almost a ludicrous administration attracting extremists.

Not only do they have six different original native languages with lots different structures but they also do not pass on information.

There are also six different police zones across and 18 different boroughs in Brussels with 19 different mayors which do not help the security of the country. The security is very small in comparison to other European countries and in need of intelligence officers is obvious.

Belgium has also seven different Parliaments because of so many different nationalities. Even the small German-speaking community has it own Parliament.

Despite of this entire drawback it is amazing and greatly to be admired that they were able to detect one of the Paris bombers and arrest him but also identify the bombers from the Brussels’ airport as well as the Metro.

BBC’s security correspondent Frank Gardner said: “One is they are not sharing intelligence with the right people. So the spooks aren’t passing on enough information to the Belgian police. They don’t trust them.

“The other problem is that they have really rubbish community relations. Look at the reaction when they went in and caught that guy on Friday night (Salah Abdeslam).

“Instead of the local people going ‘Oh my God, this is so embarrassing you’ve caught a terrorist in our midst’ they threw bottles at the police.

Belgium, according to the statistics, has the highest trained fighters in Western Europe.

RUSSIA STARTED AIR STRIKES IN SYRIA-- UPDATE 1 Oct., 2015



UPDATE: 1 October, 2015 --
US is willing to talk to Russians as soon as possible to avoid clashes of their air strikes.

Why could it not be done at the UN meeting only a few days ago?  

Their aim is to hit rebel-controlled areas as of Homs and Hama provinces in Syria. Russia informed the US one hours before the military operation began.

An US defence official said: “A Russian official in Baghdad this morning informed US embassy personnel that Russian military aircrafts begin flying anti-Isil mission today over Syria. He further requests that US aircraft avoid Syrian airspace during these missions.”

This action seems to be the result that Russia does not think there will be a diplomatic resolution, either from the UN Security Council or the Western allies.

Russia reported that SUKHOI-Su-24 warplanes were involved and operated out of an airbase near Latakia.

It is not quite clear what Russia targeted. According to US official they are not striking any IS-territory. However, the information should not be treated as gospel truth because it could be propaganda. The Russian statement is their planes to support Syria government forces and is striking against the multiple enemies of the Assad’s regime. They revealed further that the air force had targeted IS military equipment, 
communication facilities, arms depots, ammunition and fuel supplies.

If that is the case it is a serious escalation of the conflict and a result of the US State Secretary John Kerry.

The multiple enemies, as quoted by the Russian, are US, UK and West’s Arab or Turkey.

According to the BBC, the Russian’s upper house of their parliament granted President Putin permission to deploy the Russian air force in Syria.

The Syrian opposition reported that the Russian planes bombed Zafaraneh, Rastan, Talbiseh, Makarmia and Ghanto. So far 36 people were killed including children. They emphasized that none of the areas have been control by the IS.

Mr Putin said in a TV interview: “The air strikes were targeting at Islamic militants and Russian citizens – who were taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq.

He added further: “If they (militants) succeed in Syria, they will return to their home country, and they will come to Russia, too.” Mr Putin emphasizes “Russia will not send ground troops to Syria, and that its role in Syria’s army operation will be limited. We certainly are not to plunge head-on into this conflict. We will support the Syrian army purely in a legitimate fight with terrorist groups.”

The net seems to be closing just like before the First World Was and the Second when it started one country and another and another got involved.

Surely, the big powers US, UK, France and Russia could solve the problem round the negotiating table. As the saying goes “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

Russia saved the world last year, in the last minute, from a total war and most probably from a chemical war.  The US and UK could have left it at that but no they had to start air strikes. The IS would have been defeated within the Middle East countries. The West would not have to be involved. Now they pushed it again to the limit and Russia saw no other way but to support Assad’s regime by military actions.

At the moment there are Iran, Russia, Lebanon’s Hezbollah supporting Alawite-led government, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar opposing US, UK and France.  Israel flying air strikes. Details are not known.

There are far too many involved already and threaten the world peace.

Since PM David Cameron is so eager to play the knight in shining armour does he not realise this is not Afghanistan or Iraq or the Falklands?  There are far too many big armies backing Syria’s arm. It is not good to listen to the US because they will far away from the shot.  They can happily light the fuse but when it comes to the big bang it is us who sit in the firing line again.

The US always roping in the UK but where was the US when the IRA kept murdering people in the UK? They even supported the IRA financially. Harold Wilson, Labour, was the only Prime Minister who said no to the US getting involve in the Vietnam war.

David Cameron even went ahead with air strikes in spite of the majority of MPs voted against it.

FIRST FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM -- 19TH CENTURY --




WILLIAM MELVILLE
THIS IS A GREAT EYE OPENER 
WHAT WENT ON ALREADY AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY AND STILL GOES ON. 
 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
A book written by Alex Butterworth about the first war on terrorism. There was a serial of bombings in London and Europe at the end of 19th century and its history still has to be fully revealed. The book is called 'The World That Never Was' and the author put in a lot of effort into research.
Apparently, across Europe there was a high alert and for weeks undercover agents reported increased terrorism. One report was about a planned synchronised bombing attacks and the other a suspected assassination of heads of state.
All this sounds like a fiction film but there was a thorough research on a pile of deteriorating papers of French police' reports. These reports from the 1894 give a glimpse on a 'first war on terrorism' and it wasn't the Islamic fundamentalists but anarchists.
Admittedly there was a high immigration and amid revolutionaries finding safe heaven while in their homeland was political upheaval.  In the 1890 whole areas were foreign colonies in London. The most dangerous people were the Russians; plotting bloody action against their own government
Peter Rachkovsky, the head of Russia's sinister political police the Okharana, was brilliant and unscrupulous. From his Paris HQ he skilfully disrupts the activities against the Tsar. The father of the Tsar Alexander II they had assassinated in 1881. Rachkovsky used any method he could, such as sabotage, blackmail, propaganda and provocation.
Victoria showed herself and her government as liberal.  The Tsaristic Russia was seen as tyrants and anybody who seeked shelter in Britain was protected. But Rachkovsky knew how to sway the public opinion. A bomb scare implied coming from a foreign anarchist would soon help the change.
Inspector William Melville, Inspector of the British Special Branch was against the immigrants and a letter stated that he was willing to work with the Russians. Before the end of the year Melville planned the kind of bomb scare Rachkovski needed.
In Fitzroy Square in central London the grand Georgian Houses were full with immigrant families. A plot was hatched.  Anarchists in Walsall were making the bomb.  In January 1892, Melville arrested the Walsall man as he arrived in London and soon arrested the others.
Who was behind the whole set-up? There were rumours of a black book which detailed the Special Branch. But first it was under the 30 years secret act and then it supposed to be destroyed during the Second World War.
Finally in 2002 a Special Branch officer 'rediscovered' contents revealing that a teacher from an anarchist school was paid by Melville, was the man behind it. The so-called book was three vast ledgers and each line listed and cross-referenced letters sent or received by Special Branch. Even then you had to sign a document to reveal nothing of the contents. Mr Alex Butterworth who wrote the book 'The World That Never Was' insisted on the Freedom of Information law. The Metropolitan Police prevented him for three years. The Information Commissioner finally agreed for documents to be realized.
The Met appealed, the Information Tribunal heard testimony from three senior counter-terrorist officers and the ruling was that the names should be kept secret to avoid future informers being put off. The documents turned out to be a sea of black ink which could have been a historical evidence.
To protect informers is a very good reason but we are talking here about documents over a century old. Another reason for secrecy would be Melville involvement with the Russian Okhrana.  In 1893 Melville became chief inspector of Special Branch. Anarchist terrorism set Europe alight and the people of Paris and Barcelona lived in fear of bombings. In February 1894 in London a bomb was carried by a young Frenchman exploded near the Greenwich Royal Observatory.
Joseph Conrad, used the story as the basis for his novel 'The Secret Agent' which pointed at the Russian embassy. Conrad claimed it was a fiction. However, Alex Butterworth's research showed it was facts. Within weeks of the Greenwich bombings a bomb exploded in the Belgium city of Liege. Letters found in the flat pointed to the Russian embassy in Paris again Rachkovsky's agent.
Within a few years the attacks ran its course but the facts remained that Rachkovsky's war on terror' was a terrible 'blowback'.
His forgery of 'The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion' which supposed to be a plan for Jews to achieve worldwide domination; started off an anti-Semitism which snow-balled into the gas chambers.
THIS SHOULD BE A WARNING TO ALL OF US -- HOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN SNOW-BALL INTO A HOLOCAUST.  IT ALWAYS STARTS SMALL - SO DON'T IGNORE IT.

The then home secretary Charles Clarke insisted after the bombings in 2005 that the 19th century war on terror held lessons for us today.
Alex Butterworth wrote a book 'The World That Never Was' and it will give many more information.
