OBAMA SLAPS SANCTIONS ON IRAN’S CURRENCY AND AUTO INDUSTRY: The Obama administration on Monday announced new sanctions on Iran, targeting the country’s currency and automobile industry. An executive order by President Barack Obama authorizes sanctions on foreign financial institutions that make transactions in Iran’s currency, the rial, or keep accounts denominated in the rial outside the country. The new rules, which go into effect July 1, penalize the sale of goods and services to Iran’s auto industry, a key part of the country’s economy. The latest executive order is the ninth Obama has signed on Iran since the start of his presidency and the sixth in the last two years. The country’s Finance Minister, Shamseddin Hosseini, recently said that international sanctions against his country had pushed inflation above 30% and were causing “a lot of trouble.” At the same time he stressed that Iran’s nuclear drive would not be halted.

UN NUCLEAR CHIEF SAYS TALKS WITH IRAN ARE GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES: Talks with Iran over its nuclear program are “going around in circles,” Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Monday. Addressing the IAEA’s Board of Governors, Amano maintained that, “Iran is not providing the necessary cooperation to enable us to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities. The Agency therefore cannot conclude all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities. Amano said that “despite the intensified dialogue between the Agency and Iran since January 2012, during which time ten rounds of talks have been held, no agreement has been reached on the structured approach document. “This is not the right way to address issues of such great importance to the international community, including Iran. We need to achieve concrete results without further delay to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities,” he added. (Arutz-7) Meanwhile, Iranian leaders are laughing behind the scenes at the impotency of the West - while the Islamic Republic rolls ahead with its nuclear weapons development program. Very soon, according to many experts, it will be too late to do anything about it.
ASSAD BOASTING MASSES OF RUSSIAN ARMS: Syrian President Bashar Assad already has several air defense systems from Moscow, according to analysts who monitor arms shipments. While they agree the S-300s are more accurate and have greater range than Assad’s current weapons system they say the Syrian leader is far from powerless without them. “We have seen over the past few years Russia supplying several different air defense systems,” said a senior researcher in the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri), which tracks weapons flows worldwide. “They [Syrian government] have really increased their capability. The missiles are both short and long range. If the S-300s do arrive, that would top it all off.” Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon responded to Assad’s recent arrogant posturing with “Israel will know how to react,” alluding to the fact that as previously, Israel retains the right to target many more stockpiles of Syrian arms in order to dissuade Assad from considering retaliation, at the price of total devastation. (Arutz-7) “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” Ps 20:7
ISRAEL’S DEFENSE MINISTER: WE’RE PREPARING FOR A DIFFICULT 2014: Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Monday, that his ministry’s portion of recently-enacted budget decreases will translate to operational and training cuts and that regular soldiers will have heavier workloads due to slashes in funding for reserves. He said the short-term cuts must have long-term responses and “We’re preparing for a very difficult year in 2014.” Ya’alon added that Israel would not get involved in the Syrian civil war as long as it didn’t hurt Israeli interests, including the transfer of advanced weapons - missiles or chemical weapons - to Hizbullah. He said that Hizbullah is moving its elite forces into Syria, and that the country has become a battleground between the Shia and Sunni worlds with each side “massacring the other.” Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian issue, the defense minister said that Israel does not wish to rule over the Palestinians. “We are ready to launch negotiations as long as there are no preconditions,” he said, “and then discuss everything, not just borders.” However, he added, “the Palestinians keep avoiding negotiations by setting preconditions. We are not willing to pay just for the Palestinians to agree to sit at the table.” (Ha’aretz/INN) The peace talks broke down in 2010, when Abbas refused to negotiate with Israel even though it agreed to his precondition and froze construction in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem for 10 months. Instead, he has continued to impose new preconditions on talks with Israel.
ABBAS WANTS ISRAEL T0 RELEASE 120 TERRORISTS AS A PRECONDITION FOR RESTARTING TALKS: PA President Mahmoud Abbas has made the resumption of peace talks with Israel conditional on the release of roughly 120 “heavy-duty” murderers. One of the murderers was Fatah operative Ala Abu Sata. On Dec. 31, 1993, he and a fellow attacker stabbed to death David Bublil and Haim Weizmann in their sleep in an apartment in Ramle. He mutilated the bodies of his victims, cutting off their ears as proof of his act. Another is Issa Moussa, a Hamas operative, who was involved in the kidnapping and murder of police officer Nissim Toledano, and two other police officers, Daniel Hazut and Mordechai Yisrael, in 1993. It was one thing to release 1,027 terrorists in exchange for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. It’s another thing entirely to release murderers in exchange for resuming the talks. (Israel Hayom) Pray that twisted tactics of PA leader Abbas to destroy, rather than to make peace via sound and rational negotiations with the Jewish state, will be thwarted at every turn.
ATTACKS PLANNED BY TERRORIST FREED IN SCHALIT DEAL THWARTED: Security forces in May arrested a Hamas member who planned on carrying out a kidnapping and shooting attacks. He was operating under the instructions of a terror suspect who was released in the Gilad Schalit exchange and then deported, the Israel Security Agency announced Monday. The Ramallah suspect is 26-year-old Bahar Sa’ad. During his questioning, it became apparent that Sa’ad had met with Hashem Ibrahaim Hajaz, a Hamas member sentenced to 10 life sentences for his involvement in the murder of 10 Israelis between 2001 and 2003. Hajaz, who is currently based in Qatar, was released as part of the 2011 deal, in which Israel set free and deported over 1,000 Palestinian security prisoners. “During their meeting in Jordan, Sa’ad was recruited to Hamas and instructed to advance shooting and kidnapping attacks against settlers and soldiers upon his return to Judea and Samaria” the ISA said. Sa’ad was also instructed to recruit additional members. He was arrested before he could act. The ISA said the investigation showed once again, how prisoners that were released in the 2011 deal had returned to terrorism. (INN)
POLIO WAVE HITS MUSLIMS BECAUSE OF NIGERIAN’S PARANOIA: According to a leading expert on Islam, Daniel Pipes, the dreaded polio disease is resurgent in the Muslim world, because of one man’s paranoia. Ten years ago, writes Pipes, polio was on the verge of eradication, when Ibrahim Datti Ahmed, president of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria and a physician, suggested in mid-2003 the vaccination program in his country was part of a Western conspiracy to render Muslim children infertile. “His call for an end to the polio immunization campaign touched a nerve and spread to other Muslim religious leaders in Nigeria, causing the vaccination process to slow down and incidences of the disease to pick up. From Nigeria, this dual phenomenon of conspiracy theory and re-appearance of the disease then expanded to Muslims internationally,” writes Pipes, who has been following the resurgence of the disease over the years. “So closely connected have Islam and polio become that the Muslim-only pilgrimage to Mecca became a major mechanism of transmitting the disease to faraway places like Indonesia.” By now, he writes, Ahmed’s paranoia has sent the new wave of polio from Nigeria to Muslim populations in at least 17 other African countries and 6 Asian countries. “A single conspiracy-obsessed Islamist,” Pipes sums up, “equipped with an organization and credentials, has caused polio not to be eradicated but instead to win a new lease on life. Thus has radical Islam brought misery to another aspect of human life – and made fellow Muslims its principal victims.” (Arutz-7)
ISRAELI CHILD’S KIDNEY SAVES PALESTINIAN BOY: When three-year-old Noam Naor fell out of a window and was pronounced clinically dead, his parents decided to donate his organs. One kidney was given to another Israeli child. The other saved the life of a 10-year-old Palestinian. The Palestinian boy had been treated with dialysis at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center for seven years before the match was found. The father of the boy who received the donation said he wanted to thank the donor’s family who gave his son “a new life after years of waiting.” (Times of Israel)
NY SALUTE ISRAEL PARADE HUGE SUCCESS: More than 30,000 New Yorkers and visitors turned out in New York City for the annual Celebrate Israel Parade. Sunday’s event was held under tighter security in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings in March. The procession was dominated by the participation of Orthodox Jewish groups, marching in and watching the parade. On Saturday night, the Empire State Building was lit up in blue and white in honor of the event. (Arutz-7)

Obama’s Wahabi Islamic Extremism and Sex Slaves courtesy of the IRS
By Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack
When Malik Obama, President Obama’s half-brother, and Sarah Obama, the president’s step-grandmother raised money in the United States, they claimed it was for charity work in Kogelo, Kenya. It was later discovered that not only did the IRS illegally grant one of them (Malik) tax-deductible status retroactively, but in so doing, it supported an operation rife with polygamy and terror recruitment.
Read the full 22-page, explosive report here:
New IRS Scandal: Islamic Extremism and Sex Slaves
The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) and Mama Sarah Obama Foundation (MSOF), are two entities claiming to be non-profit charities yet solicit funds from the United States. The money they claim is to build homes for widows, orphans and HIV/AIDS victims that are nowhere to be found. The only evidence where monies were spent involves a compound, which housed Malik’s 12 wives with a restaurant including a mosque with a madrassa.
While building mosques is legally considered charity, evidence shows that the entire funding came directly from entities and individuals from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain. There is nothing of charitable nature to show for all the funds Malik raises from the United States. To date, there is no evidence for any accomplishments towards building homes for orphans, widows and AIDS victims in Kogelo or anywhere else in Kenya.
The land, from the visible signs on the property, identifies the donor as “Alislah Society, Bahrain” and “Munadhamat Al-Dawa Alislamiya” (Islamic Da’wa Organization) Mission of Kenya (here). The photos were captured from de-linked web-pages that hadn’t been deleted. The mosque building, it turns out, was fully donated by two individuals – “Dr. Muhammad Al-Maneea” from “Saudi Arabia” and “Ali M. Zaghmout” from Qatar (see here, here, and here.)
So what is Islamic Da’wa Organization?
The Middle east media sheds much light never mentioned by western media until now regarding the activism of Malik Obama, the bulk of which documents some troubling realities: Malik’s only active role in charities is within his position as Executive Secretary for the Islamic Da’wa Organization itself, centered in Khartoum, Sudan and according to the home page of Malik’s Kenyan section, we learn its purpose:
“Muslims in Kenya suffer from the great challenge of the tyranny of the church which is known for its aggression…”
All of Malik’s non-profit work seems to involve attending events only in his capacity as executive secretary for Islamic Da’wa Organization. In these reports, Malik is shown actively working with some of the most notorious Wahhabists known in the region, to include Omar al-Bashir, the President of Sudan who also happens to be wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity. At one event where Bashir collaborated with Malik, the Sudanese leader was even spewing virulent rhetoric against the United States.
Al-Riyadh Saudi news reported Malik even meeting with the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) “to get to know the work of this global charity, and discuss aspects of cooperation with them”. WAMY is known to have aided Al-Qaeda’s Usama Bin Laden by allegedly funding militants in the Philippines and has also welcomed speakers such as Khaled Mash’al Hamas terrorist leader. WAMY’s funds have reportedly wound up in the hands of Hamas terrorists on several occasions.
Even president Obama’s uncle—Sayid Hussein Obama—works for Sarah and is quite active in the notorious Muslim World League (MWL) as reported by Saudi media. MWL has extensive ties to terrorism and numerous connections with al Qaeda operatives. Like Sayid, Malik also works closely with Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. On March 4, 2009 the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against Bashir for 7 counts of crimes against humanity. Malik Obama (aka Roy Abongo) is also a U.S. resident and has lived in Washington D.C. since 1985 while traveling back and forth to Kenya.
Sarah’s charity (MSOF) is a similar case; she essentially operates as a non-profit by using California Community Foundation (CCF) in Los Angeles, itself a 501(c)(3) which transfers the funds from the U.S. to Kenya.
In all the countless articles on both Malik and Sarah’s work, there is not a single accomplishment regarding helping HIV/AIDS victims, since aiding these is actually contrary to Wahhabist doctrine. The bulk of the Sarah’s benevolence fund has her fund-raising agent, Musa Ismail Obama (president Obama’s first cousin), explaining how the funds goes toward scholarships destined for Saudi Arabia’s most virulent Wahhabi Sharia centers—the Islamic University in Medina, Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah (founded by Wahhab himself) and Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University in Riyadh.
When Al-Jazeera asked, “Do all these scholarships involve studying Arabic and Sharia?” Musa explained, “Some of those do not involve Sharia, like medicine or engineering.” Al-Jazeera then asks, “…but the majority involves what?” Musa answers: “Uuuhhh…. The majority of course is Sharia schools,” adding, “because my connection to the institutions is with Sharia schools.”
Malik is also a philanderer and polygamist who was recorded explaining how he had the mother and brother of one under-age girl named Sheila Anyango, 35 years his junior, sign away the girl to him and can even be seen on video.
Wives testify that Malik had at least 12 wives in total living in the Barack H. Obama Foundation’s compound and that he continually lures underage young girls who attend his mosque. Based on Kenyan standards under-age marriage is illegal and testimonies of alleged wife-beating with at least two cases involving minors. Malik dismisses the wife-beating allegations as being “a matter of interpretation”. By “interpretation” what Malik is referring to is that Sharia permits certain amount of spousal beating and that western interpretation prohibits abuse in all forms.
The physical abuse of women has also been approved by Mama Sarah, who lives nearby. She said the following to a U.K. Guardian reporter last August:
“The wives that are disobedient, they should be beaten.”
Employees working for his charity complain of serious abuses, including breaking minimum wage laws. “He pays his staff at the Obama Foundation less than £5 a week,” nearly half of the standard weekly minimum wage allowed in Kenya (£9.8).
Monies from the U.S. raised by the Obamas in Kenya, go primarily toward aiding Malik’s polygamy compound, running a restaurant, and sending Muslims to madrassas. When he was Secretary of State, Colin Powell testified in 2004, before the House Appropriations Committee that madrassas were breeding grounds for “fundamentalists and terrorists…” On October 16, 2003, in a memo to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other top Pentagon officials, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld posed similar issues regarding the role of madrassas as a breeding ground for terrorism.
Now, president Obama’s own relatives are funding them and no one seems to listen.

Israelis react to Obama visit
Friday, March 22, 2013 | Israel Today Staff
US President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel has come to an end.
In a whirlwind two-day call, the president shmoozed average Israelis far more aggressively than most expected by repeatedly referencing the Jews’ ancient and biblical connection to this land.
He also made an impassioned plea for Israel to resume making the kinds of security compromises that have proved so disastrous over the past 15 years for the sake of acheiving peace and justice for the Palestinians.
And while most Israelis love America and appreciate the gesture, very few outside of media commentators believed the visit would achieve anything concrete.
Israel Today spoke to Israelis on the streets of Jerusalem about Obama’s visit, and this is what they had to say:
Ariye Caspi: “I think Obama’s pro-peace and wants what’s good for all of us.”
Aviv Eldad: “It’s good that he came, so he can see the situation here.”
Mr. Sharon: “I think he’s visiting and doing nothing else. He doesn’t care.”
Dafna Trujaman: “First of all he’s a Democrat, and they are pro-Palestian, and he is a Muslim himself.”
Hadas Levmore: “In some aspect he’s pro-Palestinian and in some aspects he’s pro-Israeli.”
Debbie: “I don’t know why he came.”
Elana Falick: “I’m really excited that he’s here. Most of my friends are not pro-Obama. But I think it will be really good and I think it will solidify the fact that he’s on Israel’s side and that he supports Israel.”
Gabriel Danon: “He didn’t accomplish anything more than other visiting presidents in the past.”
Talia Sandman: “He’s not been the most friendly president to Israel.”
Ortal Cohen: “I think it can really help see what the Americans feel about us and how they see us around the world.”
Leo: “Obama visiting is nice, but I think it’s for show.”
Michele Benami: “For us, Obama in Israel is a very good thing because we need America and Obama is the president of America.”
Iris Marks: “Obama tries to be nice and shoot that smile when he wants to please people, but I don’t think he’s pro anything except himself.”

Today's Headlines from Israel
Coalition talks between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid of Yesh Atid are held up over certain issues of contention that the party leaders cannot agree upon, namely, the assignment of the Education Ministry. Likud Beytenu seeks to hold on to the portfolio for current Education Minister Gideon Sa’ar to serve another term. Yesh Atid, however, is insisting on getting the post, as education was among the central issues in its campaign. The party hopes to give the ministry to MK Shai Piron, second on Yesh Atid’s list. According to sources, the next government will have 20 ministers, not including the prime minister and Avigdor Lieberman as well as 8 vice ministers.
After 28 years in a US prison and a week before US president Barack Obama’s visit to Israel, Jonathan Pollard’s wife Esther directly pleaded for his release. All of the Israeli politicians including President Shimon Peres and PM Netanyahu promised they would do all they can to release Pollard.
The Agricultural Ministry and the Eshkol Regional Council ascertained the landing point of three locust swarms, seen today in the Eshkol region. Once located, the swarms were exterminated. Experts say these swarms might land in Israel throughout the entire spring season.
YaLa-Young Leaders is a Facebook-based movement promoting dialogue and engagement as means to securing a safe, productive, and peaceful Middle East and North Africa region. YaLa was co-founded by the Peres Center for Peace and YaLa Palestine in 2011. With over 200,000 members from across the Arab world, Israel, the Mediterranean and the wider international community YaLa-Young Leaders is the broadest and fastest-growing Middle East peace movement in the world today. Hollywood actress Sharon Stone is the president of the movement in the US.
Obama set to strong-arm Netanyahu on Palestinian state
According to an unconfirmed report citing Israeli sources, US President Barack Obama’s first order of business when he visits Israel later this month will be to extract a firm commitment to uproot the Jews living in Judea and Samaria in preparation for the birth of a Palestinian state.
Obama has already messaged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he wants to see a firm timetable for a unilateral Jewish withdrawal when he arrives, reported the news website World Tribune.
One of the quoted sources told the website that “the implication is that if Israel won’t give [Obama] something he can work with, then he’ll act on his own.”
But not everyone is so certain Obama’s focus will be a Palestinian state.
Former Israeli Ambassador to the US Zalman Shoval on Sunday noted that a recent important foreign policy symposium in Washington had not at all focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The opposite would certainly be the case were Obama preparing to make a major diplomatic push on that front, explained Shoval.
Shoval, who is a regular informal adviser to Netanyahu, believes the visit will focus much more on the Iranian threat.
It might be that Obama and his administration have realized, like outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, that the chances of concluding a genuine, long-lasting peace deal with the current Palestinian leadership are next to nil.
Barak told the annual AIPAC conference in Washington that while he continues to advocate a two-state solution, reaching such an agreement together with the Palestinians at this time is “impossible.”
Obama Wants To Disarm Americans But Arm Terrorists
By Theodore Shoebat
Obama wants to decree a ban on all assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons, which would apply to rifles and pistols. On this ban, Obama stated clearly:
I’m going to be putting forward a package and I’m going to be putting my full weight behind it… I’m going to be making an argument to the American people about why this is important and why we have to do everything we can to make sure that something like what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary does not happen again.
Yet, the Obama administration has been involved in providing weapons to rebels who have committed many atrocities throughout Syria. Why must Americans be disarmed and jihadists be given weapons to? Americans are simply observing a right, while the Islamists want guns to force Syria into becoming a Sharia governed state.
Leon Panetta, who is now retiring, and General Martin Dempsey, the principle military adviser of Obama, have both revealed that they supported a plan last year composed by Hillary Clinton and General Petraeus that would provide weapons to the Syrian rebels, who are all fighting for a jihadist cause.
John Mccain also supported, and still supports, this plan, saying
“I urge the president to heed the advice of his former and current national security leaders and immediately take the necessary steps, along with our friends and allies, that could hasten the end of the conflict in Syria”
Though Obama is said to have turned down this plan, he still has supported the Syrian rebellion in a very covert and elusive manner. The current administration has instead used a middle-man: Saudi Arabia, to receive American weapons and then transfer them to the hands of the jihadists…
