OBAMA’S BROTHER WANTED ON TERROR WATCH LIST

Obama’s half brother Malik Obama is on Egypt’s Terror Watch List as a Muslim Brotherhood member.

Shoebat.com:

Several prominent Egyptian media sources are reporting that Malik Obama, half-brother to President Barack Obama is quickly becoming a person of interest in that country relative to his role with the Islamic Da’wa Organization (IDO) – based in bordering Sudan – and the larger Muslim Brotherhood umbrella group. Complaints have been filed with Egypt’s Prosecutor General that call for Malik to be put on Egypt’s terror watch list and brought in for questioning about his role in financing terrorism.

The following is a direct translation from an article from Youm7:

[…] Complaint No. 1761 for the year 2013 reported to the Attorney General asked the Egyptian High Court to consider the suspicious activity of a group called the Islamic Da’wa Organization (IDO), which is owned and managed by Malik Obama. This group is now being investigated by international bodies and the attached evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt that a close link exists between Malik Obama and some of the most notorious characters already wanted for their involvement in terrorism, as is consistent with the pictures and reports attached…

The complaint also asks the court to bring in Malik Obama – a resident of the United States – to be questioned in regards to the terrorist groups in Egypt, whether by inciting or participating with or in any form of support punishable by law. It seeks permission to declare Obama a defendant in his right outside Egypt diplomatically, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the case of non-appearance and compliance for the investigation, the complainant requests monitoring [Mr. Obama] by including his name on all Egyptian airports and ports, and take the necessary legal steps.” {emphasis ours}

‘EITHER YOU CONVERT TO ISLAM, OR YOU WILL BE BEHEADED’

The village of Maaloula has been taken over by Syrian rebels associated with al Qaeda, who have stormed the Christian center and offered local Christians a choice: conversion or death. A resident of the town said the rebels shouted “Allahu Akhbar” as they moved through the village, and proceeded to assault Christian homes and churches.
“They shot and killed people,” he said. “I heard gunshots and then I saw three bodies lying in the middle of a street in the old quarters of the village. Where is President Obama to see what has befallen us?” Another witness stated, “I saw the militants grabbing five villagers and threatening them and saying, ‘Either you convert to Islam, or you will be beheaded.’”
The village is located just 25 miles from Damascus, and sites within the village are dedicated as United Nations world heritage sites. Residents still speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus. The rebels who took over the city are associated with the al Nusra Front, an al Qaeda-associated Islamist group. Villagers reported foreign dialects ranging from Tunisian to Libyan, from Moroccan to Chechen.

In an interview on US television President Assad of Syria warned the US that “everything” would be possible if the US were to strike the country. Assad also repeatedly denied claims that he had used his chemical weapons stoke pile against his own people.

“You’re going to pay the price if you’re not wise. There are going to be repercussions,” Assad told CBS television in an interview recorded in Damascus and broadcast on Monday. “It’s an area where everything is on the brink of explosion. You have to expect everything.”

Also today Russia has urged Syria to hand it’s chemical weapons over to the international community. Russia’s plan was welcomed by the US and European leaders. Since the chemical weapons attack Russia has stood by the Syrian regime, claiming that rebels carried out the attack. However, most in the international community believe the weight of evidence points to the Assad government was to blame for the attack.

Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year!

Almost a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012
BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013
Publication of UN climate change report suggesting global warming caused by humans pushed back to later this month

A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 60 per cent.
The rebound from 2012’s record low comes six years after the BBC reported that global warming would leave the Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013.
Instead, days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia’s northern shores.

GRAVITY, BLOOD TIES, RUSH 2013 TIFF MOVIE PICKS

The Wind Rises: Nothing from Japanese anime master Hayao Miyazaki ever disappoints, even as he works into his 70s at the famed Studio Ghibli. This unusual piece of work, covering decades of time, is a poetic reverie about a pre-WWII aeronautical engineer who becomes inspired by visits to a fantasy world in the clouds.

Gravity: Nothing from Mexico master Alfonso Cuaron fails to ignite the fires of my imagination. That applies even with his part of the Harry Potter franchise. This time around, working from a script he co-authored with his son, Cuaron tells an American story set in space with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts who will soon face a crisis.

Blue is the Warmest Color: Nothing about Tunis-born director Abdellatif Kechiche’s lesbian love story is routine, so this French production won the Palme d’Or as best film at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It is said to be frankly told, sexually explicit and extraordinarily personal and insightful. Can’t wait!

TIFF 2013 – It took nearly four decades, but TIFF has truly become The Festival of Festivals

The next time you hear about the imminent death of film, think on the Toronto International Film Festival, which used to be known by the brash title The Festival of Festivals, and has grown over its 37-year history to become just that.

The event, which kicked off Sept. 5 and runs until Sept. 15, is a deal-making Mecca and a cultural force to rival the Academy Awards. In fact, the ovations that will greet many of this year’s 288 features also function as a kind of starter’s pistol for the race to the Oscars. They may be six months away, but the clock has started ticking.

The opening day features only a handful of films — screenings don’t start until 3:30 p.m., and half the venues remain dark until Friday — but even at quarter-speed, the power of the festival is astonishing.
