US-Iran: Recession Fuelling Political Tension
Update March 26, 2008:
With consumer's confidence in the U.S. lowest since 1974 and jobs harder to find than ever, an even deeper recession is expected to come.
source: BBC business report March 26, 2008
War on Iran is
looming while
economic reces-
sion in the U.S.
is already under
way. The naval
conflict of Janu-
ary 2008 could
become an ex-
cuse for hostile
action to be
taken immedi-
ately by a des-
perate Bush
administration,
even before the presidential elections to come.
While Goldman Sachs and Merril Lynch still disagree
about the actual state of a U.S. recession, not about the
fact itself, 3000 fresh troops are to be sent to Afghanistan;
troops to pacify that secret base of action against Iran
and to ensure logistic support for those bomber squadrons,
expected to deliver the first blow against Iran's capital of
Tehran.
President Bush who eagerly described the U.S. as being
"addicted to oil" and the Republican's most promising
candidate McCain who recently volunteered in a public
"singing out" of that old Beach Boys' tune in its moder-
nized version "Bomb, Bomb Iran !", both are now very
close to their goal.
Political tension abroad and economic recession at home
have always been the perfect mix to trigger off a global
conflict.

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated
The announcement of assassination:

(quoted by Al-Jazeera)
Here now the complete story as published by
WASHINGTON POST.
A historic website on Central Asia, published
by BLUEPRINT magazine, can provide some
useful facts on how things developed in that
region at a very early stage.
After having followed a discussion on Al-Jazeera TV
that was based on a chat between some Pakistani
activists claiming responsibility for the assassination,
kind of "confession" even doubted by a U.S. expert,
I searched active Islamic websites myself, however,
without finding any comment whatsoever on that
subject. So I've come to think, that Benazir Bhutto's
murder was a mere matter of coincidence and could
have happened any time and anywhere in Pakistan
while Al-Qaeda's main target remains president
Musharraf who didn't fall prey to even one of the
numerous assaults launched at him simply because
he isn't sticking out his nose when seated in one of
his bullet-proof cars. (Update December 31, 2007)

Bin Laden - Latest Records - March 2008 / December 2007
Record from March 20, 2008
As the English translation or parts of it can be found elsewhere, here's the French translation of Bin Laden's latest message, hinting at possible consequences to the peoples of Europe because of their hypocrisy towards the followers of Islam. The given date of publication is only an approximation and corresponding with some Western media. In fact, I found the original material some days before when I was too busy to extract it at once.
By the way, there is a second message of Bin Laden that appeared on the same day and included an urgent demand of support for Palestine in its struggle against Israel.
Now, here is the French version of Bin Laden's first message considered to be genuine:
Au Nom d'Allah le Très Miséricordieux, le Tout Miséricordieux
Aux intelligents dans l'Union Européenne:
Que la paix soit sur celui qui suit la guidée.
Ensuite:
Ce message s'adresse à vous et concerne les dessins insultants et votre négligence malgré l'opportunité présentée pour prendre les mesures nécessaires afin d'empêcher qu'ils soient répétés.
Pour commencer, je vous dis: l'hostilité entre les êtres humains est très ancienne, mais les intelligents parmi les nations de toutes les époques ont veillé à observer les étiquettes de la dispute et les morales du combat. Et cela est mieux pour eux, alors que le conflit est en changement perpétuel et que la guerre a ses hauts et ses bas.
Cependant, vous, dans votre conflit avec nous, avez abandonné beaucoup de morales du combat dans la pratique, même si vous en revendiquez ses slogans en théorie. Combien cela nous attriste que vous preniez pour cible nos villages avec vos bombardements: les modestes villages de boue qui se sont effondrés sur nos femmes et enfants. Vous faites cela intentionnellement, et j'en suis le témoin.
Tout cela, vous le faites sans droit et en conformité avec votre allié oppressif qui - avec ses politiques agressives - va quitter la Maison Blanche. Et il ne vous est plus caché que ces actes sauvages n'ont pas mis fin à la guerre, mais plutôt, ont augmenté notre détermination à nous accrocher à notre droit, venger notre peuple et expulser les envahisseurs de notre pays. Et vous savez également que ces massacres ne s'effacent jamais de la mémoire des peuples, et les effets de cela ne sont pas cachés.
Bien que notre tragédie dans le meurtre de nos femmes et de nos enfants en soit une très grande, elle est devenue insignifiante lorsque vous êtes allés plus loin encore dans votre mécréance et vous êtes affranchis des étiquettes de la dispute et du combat et en êtes arrivés au point de publier ces dessins insultants. C'est la plus grande et plus sérieuse tragédie, et sa prise en compte sera plus sévère.
Et je porte votre attention sur un sujet important, qui est qu'en dépit de votre publication des dessins insultants, vous n'avez assisté à aucune réaction du milliard et demi de Musulmans, qui comprend une insulte au Prophète d'Allah, Jésus fils de Marie (paix et bénédiction d'Allah sur lui). Nous croyons en tous les Prophètes (paix et bénédiction sur eux), et quiconque nuit ou se moque de l'un d'eux est un mécréant apostat. Et il convient de préciser qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'utiliser comme excuse la sacralité que vous accordez à la liberté d'expression et la sacralité de vos lois, et comment vous ne les changerez pas.
Si oui, alors sur quelles bases se basaient les soldats Américains exemptés d'être sujets à vos lois sur vos terres? Et sur quelles bases supprimez vous la liberté de ceux qui émettent des doutes sur les statistiques d'un événement historique? De plus, vous savez qu'il y a un homme qui peut mettre fin à ces dessins, si cela lui importait: le chef de la couronne à Riad, qui a ordonné à vos instances de cesser leurs investigations sur le détournement de fonds de milliards dans l'accord d'al-Yamama, et Blair en a été le responsable, et il est aujourd'hui votre représentant dans le quartet.
Pour résumer, donc, les lois des hommes qui entrent en conflit avec les législations d'Allah le Très-Haut, sont nulles et non avenues, ne sont pas sacrées et n'ont pas d'importance pour nous. De plus, votre attitude pratique envers l'accord d'al-Yamama requiert que vous admettiez qu'il y a certaines valeurs qui sont plus importantes que vos valeurs.
En conclusion, je vous dis:
Sil n'y a pas de vérification quant à la liberté de vos paroles, alors laissez vos cœurs être ouverts à la liberté de nos actes. Et il est étonnant, afin d'éclairer les autres, que vous parliez de tolérance et de paix dans une période où vos soldats perpétuent des meurtres même contre les faibles et les opprimés dans nos pays. Puis viennent vos publications de ces dessins, qui interviennent dans le cadre d'une nouvelle Croisade dans laquelle le Pape du Vatican a joué un grand et long rôle.
Et tout ceci est la confirmation de votre part de la poursuite de la guerre, tout comme un test des Musulmans dans leur religion: est-ce que le Messager (paix et bénédiction d'Allah sur lui) leur est plus cher qu'eux-mêmes et leur richesse? La réponse est ce que vous voyez, non ce que vous entendez, et puissent nos mères faire notre deuil si nous échouons à venir en aide à notre Messager d'Allah (paix et bénédiction d'Allah sur lui).
Et que la paix soit sur celui qui suit la guidée.
Record from December 2, 2007
Already announced some days ago,
here is the latest sound record of
Oussama Bin Laden. I volunteered
to compile the complete message of
Bin Laden's speech from the English
subtitles to facilitate its reading.
Here it is (version française en bas):
"All praise is for Allah who didn't
create the Creation for nothing and
didn't leave them in vain, but rather,
created them to worship Him, and
intelligent people obey Him and
miserable ones disobey Him.
As for what comes after:
This message of mine is to the peoples
of the states allied to America in the
invasion of Afghanistan, and I mention
specifically Europe.
Peace be upon those who follow the
guidance:
It isn't hidden from you that the Afghans have tasted
the two bitterest things for two decades at the hands
of the Russians and their Communist agents. But they
persevered and fought and were resolute and victori-
ous, by the grace of Allah. And before their wounds
had healed and their grief had ended, they were in-
vaded without right by your unjust governments,
without stopping or think about or reflect on Bush's
claim that this invasion was a response to the events
of the 11th, although - as I mentioned previously -
the events of Manhattan were a response to the
American-Israeli coalition's murder of our people in
Palestine and Lebanon.
And it was I who was responsible for 9/11, and I stress
that all Afghans - both government and people - had no
knowledge of those events, and America knows that,
because some of the Taliban's ministers fell into its
hands as captives and they were interrogated and that
became known. And that's why the Taliban government
requested to produce the evidence for the truth of its
claims prior to the invasion, but it didn't produce any
evidence and instead insisted on invading; and Europe
marched behind it in that, and had no choice but to be
its vassal. It suffices as evidence of this your enter-
ing of the war and your excusing of American soldiers
from being held to account by the European courts.
For this reason, this address of mine is to you, not
to your politicians, as it is no longer a secret that
Blair, Brown, Berlusconi, Aznar, Sarkozy and those
with him and their like love to shade themselves in
the shade of the White House. And there isn't a major
difference worth mentioning between them and many
of the leaders of the Third World.
So to summarize, in this war you have combined
two injustices: The first is that this war was waged
against the Afghans without right. You didn't have
even one piece of evidence suitable for submission
to a court. Additionally, you destroyed the camps
of al-Qaida and killed some of its members, and you
captured others, most of who were from Pakistan.
So what is the sin of the Afghans due to which you
are continuing this unjust war against them? Their
only sin is that they are Muslims, and this illustrates
the extent of the Crusader's hatred of Islam and
its people.
Second, in this war, you have not observed the ethics
and protocol of warfare. Most of the victims - as a
result of the bombing - are women and children, and
intentionally so. You know that our women don't fight,
yet you target them even on days of celebration,
knowingly and adamantly, hoping by that to break the
morale of the Mujahideen.
This will not benefit you, however, for we are resolute
and, by the grace of Allah, the Glorious and Great,
continuing to take revenge on the unjust and expel
the occupying invaders. I have personally witnessed
incidents like these, and the matter continues on an
almost daily basis, and the hospitals are full of inno-
cent people.
You have no religion, morals, humanity or shame. And
for your information, the Afghan people are courageous,
defiant, jealous, honorable, religious Muslim people who
refuse humiliation and submission to invaders. And their
history is rich in resolve and victories. They fought
Britain in its glory days and defeated it by the grace
of Allah, and fought the Russians in their glory days
as well and defeated them by the grace of Allah. And
today, they are fighting America and its agents under
the leadership of the Commander of the Believers, Mulla
Umar, may Allah protect him, and under the command
of the Knight of the Field, Hajji Mansoor Dadullah. I ask
Allah, the Most High, to grant them victory and resolve.
In conclusion, I remind you that the American tide is
ebbing and that they shall soon depart for their home-
land beyond the Atlantic and leave the neighbours to
settle their accounts with each other. So it is better
for you to restrain your politicians who are thronging
the steps of the White House and work diligently to
remove oppression from the oppressed, for justice is
right and injustice is torment, and returning to the truth
is the hallmark of men of understanding.
And peace be upon those who follow the guidance."
Please note:
The sound record of Bin Laden has been released
by an Islamic media center, notorious for similar
publications related to al-Qaida. The original sound
track is available upon request for the use of public
security. As there's no need to chase me out of my
bed on a dark and cold winter morning, an official
and polite letter will do. - And peace be upon those
who follow the guidance.
Le dernier message de Ben Laden - 2.12.07
DOUBAI (Reuters) - Dans un enregistrement audio dont
la chaîne de télévision qatarie Al Djazira a diffusé des
extraits, Oussama ben Laden exhorte les pays européens
à mettre fin à leur coopération militaire avec les Etats-
Unis en Afghanistan (29.11.07).
L'orateur, dont la voix est similaire à celle d'Oussama
ben Laden, assure dans cet enregistrement que les taliban,
alliés de son réseau al Qaïda, n'étaient pas au courant
des projets d'attentats du 11 septembre 2001 aux Etats-
Unis, principale raison invoquée par les Etats-Unis pour
envahir l'Afghanistan. En plus, il souligne que ce sont
surtout les femmes et les enfants qui font la majorité
des victimes afghanes et que le peuple afghan a déjà
survécu les invasions britanniques et russes et a tou-
jours réussi à chasser les ennemis en dehors de son
territoire.

Iran - a fool falling prey to U.S. imperialism ?
From time to time I get the word about undemocratic procedures within the Islamic Republic of Iran. A group of Iranian lawyers are launching such news, and I happen to be on their mailing list. Being convinced that there is much truth in what they say about a cruel treatment of those citizens not willing to surrender to the system, and being simultaneously disgusted by the way, official Iranian sources are dealing with the holocaust of Jews during Nazi rule in Germany, I cannot ignore the fact that the Iranian people are surely backing their government when it comes to foreign attacks on their country. Even though the Iranian society seems to be deeply divided in the frame of a conflict between secular policy and Islamic fundamentalism, there is still much patriotism to be found in Iran. Recent military and scientific achievements, though rather moderate, are acclaimed by the Iranian people, and Western counterparts should seriously consider to deal with an enemy difficult to beat in an open military conflict, at least much more difficult to beat than, let's say, Iraq or Afghanistan. Furthermore, Iran is situated at the southern frontier of Russia's sphere of influence and incredibly near to the sources of oil and natural gas that are fuelling Russia's economy. With a Russian president behind his back, rather inclined to deliver latest missile technology to Iran than to accept the installation of a U.S. defence system against a diffuse "nuclear challenge" in Eastern Europe, the Iranian president seems to be in a better position than the Western alliance against "nuclear proliferation" might even imagine.
Done with Iran ? Next target Baku oilfield ?
Nice satellite views for the NeoCons to see !
Update on December 4, 2007:
Now that a brandnew U.S. intelligence report confirmed that Iran gave up the development of nuclear arms as early as 2003, president Bush's attitude towards Iran and his obvious intention to wage war against its people becomes more and more questionable. What still remains is what many observers suspected for long: The NeoCons are
getting more and more greedy for oil !

Cleaning Up The Mess
In an interview with CNN the 2002 Nobel Prize laureate and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has disclosed the fact that Guantánamo detainees are being tortured. Even though everybody suspected it from the very beginning, we now have clearer evidence as Carter underlined his statement with the words: "I don't think it. - I know it."
Read the whole story on my Guantánamo page and the linked website by CNN.
However, its not Guantánamo torturing alone that is darkening the image of the United States. The phoney "liberation by bombing out the bad guys", as practised in Afghanistan and Iraq and surely soon to be practised in Iran, has requested its toll as well when it comes to U.S. credibility abroad.
BLUEPRINT magazine, having become specialized in such ugly subjects, now offers you its visitor statistics and analysis of visiting domains. You will be surprised to learn who visited BLUEPRINT in the past months of 2007 and why he came !

Trading with China
The current pre-election campaign of leading Democratic and
Republican politicians has it that Republicans tend to accept
China as an ally, while Democrats are warning that China might
turn out the most dangerous adversary to U.S. economy. $400
billion in U.S. debt, held by the Chinese, are surely a fact to
support the Democratic pre-election position of, both, Clinton
and Obama. Seen in the frame of standard foreign politics, no-
toriously demanding further steps towards democracy in China,
this could make an issue in U.S.-Chinese relationships of any
possible Democratic President.
But the Chinese are striking back. In an article, recently published
in the Chinese online-edition of People's Daily, they state that the
U.S. exportation volume towards China has risen about 240% in
the last seven years to the benefit of U.S. economy, - another fact
not easily to be discussed away. Thus, all that verbal fighting bet-
ween high-ranking Democratic and Republican politicians might
finally lead to a kind of status quo towards China to the benefit of
both countries and remain a mere expression of U.S. pre-election
entertainment.

Money of War
backside of a new Iranian 50.000 Rials banknote
Only one day before the Central Bank of Iran
issued a 50.000 Rials banknote, bearing a
nuclear symbol, the German daily Welt Online
disclosed informations on fake U.S. Dollars,
soon to be printed in an Iranian facility in
order to fuel the national nuclear programme.
As these informations, published by a paper of
a rather conservative reputation, is related to
"Western intelligence sources", everybody
is free to have his own thoughts about that.
I wonder how much fake money of how many
countries of anti-U.S. brand has been printed
and distributed during all those years the CIA
has conducted its "inofficial foreign policies".

Castro soon back in office ?
古巴的 Castro 近再来 ?
Update:
"Live" from Caracas and Havana on October 15, 2007.
Castro now even better in shape than before.
When will he resume power ?
Update:
Now, even CNN took notice of the fact that Cuba's leader Fidel Castro
is far from dying. In a "round table interview", transmitted by Cuba's
National CUBAVISION TV, he appeared healthy enough to stand the
questions of his counterpart (June 5, 2007).
The neighbouring pictures
have been extracted from a
video, transmitted on Jan.
31, 2007, by Cuba's TV.
Another visit by Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, and Fidel Castro
on his feet again and even smiling. Could it be that his return to power
is merely a question of time ?

Brave New Media World 2007
Its a new media world where blogs have made journalism a public affair
and where private video production has found its entry to the sphere of
public entertainment.
And even the world of professional journalism has changed since CNN,
a pacemaker on the field of TV news, got a new and powerful competitor:
AL-JAZEERA International TV, the English service of the Arabic station
in Qatar, now broadcasting from Washington and Kuala Lumpur as well
as from Doha and other places, has added a strong Asian note to the
more U.S. based agenda of CNN.
Nevertheless, the Arabic station in Qatar remains an important source
of information when it comes to the development of the Middle East.
As their website already showed, the Arabic service is by far more
specific than the English service which had been established only two
years ago. Opinion polls on the Arabic website not only use different
questions on the same subject but attract a different kind of people as
well; Arabic speaking Muslims with strong roots in the region. Such,
the Arabic service still deserves being observed !
Whatsoever, BLUEPRINT magazine will continue to track any source
of information that seems reliable enough to deliver accurate facts on
the crucial subjects BLUEPRINT is dealing with.

a new era rising - es una nueva época
"The people of Venezuela celebrating an overwhelming victory of
Hugo Chávez Frías, candidate of the Bolivarian Revolution. All of
Venezuela united in the celebrations." (Live transmission by Cuba-
vision TV on December 4, 2006)
Hugo Chávez, just having won the elections in Venezuela
with an overwhelming majority, is now able to continue his
strategy based on a socialist draft and directed against
that special kind of imperialism which has been triggered
off and conducted by the Bush administration. Seen in the
frame of a political landslide towards socialism, now to
be observed in other countries of the Latin-American
sphere as well, there is undoubtedly a new era rising.

Guantánamo Again !
While Al-Jazeera is reporting about a righteous doctor from Afghanistan
who has finally been released from Guantánamo, German media are
presenting a German detainee, Mourad Kurnaz, who had been held in
U.S. custody in that same prison, despite everyone knowing about his
innocence. As high-ranking members of the German military staff seem
to be involved, now being accused of having hindered Mourad's release,
a parliamentary showdown is likely to make its way. Furthermore, accu-
sations launched by Mourad himself have it that German KSK special
troops lent a hand in his torture. Even though there is strong evidence,
all that still needs to be proven in detail.
Update Oct. 23, 2006:
The "Extremists" Fighting Terrorism
While the Bush administration is looking at some Latin-American coun-
tries as the strongholds of extremism in that part of the world, those
countries are now developing their own strategy to fight terrorism. In-
cited by Cuba, the parliamentary assembly of Latin-American states
discussed the draft of a framing law, dealing with the fight against
terrorism:
"This draft exposes the double standards of antiterrorism. Its point of
view is to analyze the nature of [terrorist] actions and their reasons.
Therefore, the Latin-American assembly watches carefully the double
increase of offenders in the prisons of its countries... A United Nations
observer considered that in the "Al-Qaeda prison" of Guantánamo Bay
human rights are violated and humanity is endangered. ....."
[ People's Daily online, Chinese edition, Oct. 22, 2006 ]
who has finally been released from Guantánamo, German media are
presenting a German detainee, Mourad Kurnaz, who had been held in
U.S. custody in that same prison, despite everyone knowing about his
innocence. As high-ranking members of the German military staff seem
to be involved, now being accused of having hindered Mourad's release,
a parliamentary showdown is likely to make its way. Furthermore, accu-
sations launched by Mourad himself have it that German KSK special
troops lent a hand in his torture. Even though there is strong evidence,
all that still needs to be proven in detail.

North Korea - Welcome to the Club !
After North Korea entering the club of nuclear lunatics ....
What the world needs now, seems to be a decent nuclear weapon's "test",
launched by our special friend George Bush and directed against North
Korea or the Islamic Republic of Iran or Cuba (as long as Castro is still hospitalized) or, let's say, Venezuela (to punish president Chavez for hav-
ing smelled the Devil in the United Nations assembly). At least, everybody
should know that there's only one single gentleman on earth entitled to
pull the trigger. If its not for Holy Oil it might be for the benefits of a
Holy War against terrorism. Therefore, hurry to buy your share in the
weapon's business to be among the guarantied winners !
As to this subject, here's a special offer that reached me by email:
..................
VERY HOT NEW ANTI-TERRORISM IPO
GOING PUBLIC Tuesday, OCT. 9th, 2006
NASDAQ: DFSE - DEFENSE DIRECTIVE, INC.
DEFENSE DIRECTIVE (ticker: DFSE), a major manufacturer of
weaponized chemicals and anti-terrorism detection devices will be

creates are used in each major airport in the U.S.A., and the com-
pany has important long-term government contracts to furnish the
U.S. military with DFSE's equipment.

military contracts will guarantee this company an impressive revenue
stream that simply won't be ignored.
This IPO is certain to generate massive interest from the investment
community, as well as valuable media coverage due to the current
turmoil in the Middle East.
.................
Now have a nice day (it might be your last),

Reconstruction of some Main Sites
Like its editor, BLUEPRINT magazine is growing older.
Therefore, some reconstruction has become necessary.
All Arabic sites will be available from
one single entry page, such that suffi-
cient space on the BLUEPRINT main
page can be saved for the addition of
brandnew subjects.
During the time of reconstruction there
might be daily changes to the layout of
my magazine as a result of optimization
efforts. Nevertheless, all subjects still
remain accessible from the main page.
Best wishes from BLUEPRINT editor.

02/06/2005 Social Climate in Germany
德国:社会的一般情况 / 经济对于社会
I recently created a suite of webpages dealing with stagnant economy and social climate in Germany. As unemployment is still rising and the ideas of what we call neoliberalism are constantly swapping into our country, I found it necessary to deal with that subject. Most of the information and comments are published in German and French, the language of Germany's most important partner in Europe. Nevertheless, there is still some key information given in English. So simply click to the neighbouring image to get enlightened.

editorial — 蓝图杂志的总编辑
-- Hello everybody !
-- This is the editor of a blog related to BLUEPRINT magazine
-- https://blueprinteditor.blogspot.com 蓝图杂志 speaking to you
-- personally and more directly than ever before.
--
As you know, our time flies such that even an online-journalist finds it hard to cope with it. It is for this reason that I offer you a newsblog, easy to edit and easy to post, intended to launch such news from politics and culture I find remarkable enough to be mentioned in front of a greater public.
Doing translations from Arabic, Chinese and other foreign sources, I can therefore provide you with facts and opinion that you will hardly find on any other place in the web.
Please, forgive me if you find my English an awkward mixture of the Oxford and American idiom. But be assured that I am always earnestly trying to get my information to the point.
Sincerely yours
- Ulysses -
(as I decided to name myself because I found it a nice idea seeing myself
riding on the "waves" of the internet and living through all those funny
adventures, the olympic gentry under the guidance of Zeus is providing for
us humans)
