Coincidenta absoluta

Coincidență… orice asemănare cu realitatea – Quid pro quo, este absolut întâmplătoare și doar o fericită întâmplare.  Nu este adevărat că după șutul în gură primit de Israel – adică înțelegerea cu Iranul, Obama, ca să mai îndulcească apele, îl dă acum la schimb pe Pollard – grațiere cerută de Israel de două ori pe an – sau de zece ori pe an, for that matter, de 30 de ani încoace…

WASHINGTON — In July 2014, after Jonathan J. Pollard had served 29 years of a life sentence for spying on behalf of Israel, his hopes for freedom were thwarted when a federal panel denied his request for parole.

But that hearing set in motion an intense scramble by lawyers for Mr. Pollard to ensure a different result a year later, when he would be eligible for parole after serving 30 years. They wrote letters, cited statistics and introduced evidence that their client met two legal standards for parole: that he had behaved well in prison, and that he posed no threat of returning to a life of espionage.

On Tuesday, the effort finally succeeded, as the United States Parole Commission announced that Mr. Pollard, 60, met the legal standards and would be released just before Thanksgiving.

Mr. Pollard, one of the country’s most notorious spies, will walk out of federal prison in Butner, N.C., on Nov. 20. Eliot Lauer, one of the two lawyers who have been working pro bono for the past 15 years to free Mr. Pollard, called his client on Tuesday with the news.

“Thank God,” Mr. Pollard replied, according to Mr. Lauer. The lawyer added, “Right now, after many, many years of hoping for this day, we are going to sit back and celebrate.”

Mr. Lauer said it was an “absurdity” to think that Mr. Pollard, who was convicted of passing classified materials to his Israeli handlers, would return to spying. He noted that any information Mr. Pollard retained from his time as a Navy intelligence analyst was more than 30 years out of date. He said the parole commission appeared to have accepted that assurance.

In the months before Mr. Pollard’s latest parole hearing several weeks ago, the Justice Department asked intelligence and law enforcement agencies to determine the effect his release would have. “They didn’t articulate how he was going to commit more crimes,” one senior American official said, referring to the agencies.

Mr. Lauer also praised the government for deciding not to oppose Mr. Pollard’s release after years in which the intelligence agencies had vehemently opposed any deal to release him early. Justice Department officials said publicly last week for the first time that they would not oppose parole for Mr. Pollard.

“Clearly, having the government accept our presentation, which involved several months of communication with the government, was clearly a boost in the parole process,” Mr. Lauer said.

Mr. Pollard’s fate has been a source of tension between the United States and Israel for decades. In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had spoken to Mr. Pollard’s wife, Esther. He also appeared to take some credit for the parole decision.

“After decades of effort, Jonathan Pollard will finally be released,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “Throughout his time in prison, I consistently raised the issue of his release in my meetings and conversations with the leadership of successive U.S. administrations. We are looking forward to his release.”

But Mr. Pollard’s lawyers and American officials insisted Tuesday that the parole decision was not an effort to ease friction between Mr. Netanyahu and President Obama over the agreement that world powers reached this month with Iran to curb its nuclear program. Mr. Netanyahu has said the deal will lead Iran to construct a nuclear weapon.

Secretary of State John Kerry, who testified before Congress on Tuesday on the Iran deal, told reporters after the hearing that there was no connection between Mr. Pollard’s parole and the agreement. “I haven’t even had a conversation about it,” he said.

Longtime observers of the Iran negotiations said it would have been a mistake for Mr. Obama to try to connect Mr. Pollard’s release to the nuclear deal, especially since the fate of four Americans who are being held prisoner in Iran is not addressed by the agreement.

“Any perception that an Israeli spy was released as a result of the Iran deal and not the Americans in Iranian jails would have been a P.R. disaster,” said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East adviser to Democratic and Republican administrations. “Netanyahu would have had to protest even harder against the agreement to make sure nobody thought he was being bought off.”

In 2014, before the parole commission rejected Mr. Pollard’s request that year, Obama administration officials reportedly discussed the possibility of releasing him as a way to avert a collapse in peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

Officials said at the time that Mr. Kerry considered the possibility that the early release of Mr. Pollard might coax additional concessions from Mr. Netanyahu in the peace talks. Among the sticking points was whether Israel would release Palestinian prisoners.

The peace talks eventually broke down, leaving the parole commission as Mr. Pollard’s only real hope for freedom.

At the time that Mr. Pollard was sentenced, federal law required that he be reviewed for parole after he had served 30 years of his life sentence, a deadline that falls on Nov. 21. A spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons said Tuesday that Mr. Pollard would be released on Nov. 20, since the 21st is a Saturday.

Mr. Pollard’s lawyers said that if he had not been granted parole, he would have had to serve 15 years more in prison. But an official said that Mr. Pollard would have been eligible for parole every two years.

At the last hearing, which took place at the North Carolina prison on July 7, Mr. Lauer presented his case to the parole commissioners, using what he called statistical evidence to prove that Mr. Pollard was unlikely to break the law in the United States again. He also said that Mr. Pollard had been a model prisoner.

“The absurdity of it,” he said, “to think that Mr. Pollard would do anything that would violate United States law that could bring him back to prison.”

Lawyers for the government also made presentations at the hearing, Mr. Lauer said. He said that “the government’s position was confirmatory of the presentation that we had made.”

On Tuesday, Mr. Pollard expressed a desire to be reunited with his wife, Mr. Lauer said. He added that parole rules may prevent his client from immediately leaving the United States, but that Mr. Pollard was eager to visit Israel when he could.

“His preference is to restart his life,” Mr. Lauer said. “Obviously, he has great affection for Israel, and that is a place he’d like to visit and perhaps to spend time there. It’s too early to predict what his tangible plans will be.”

Decapitari,maini taiate, femei omorate cu pietre..bref SHARIA

Sursa: Dailymail
Privirea nepasatoare a guvernelor tarilor occidentale a permis comunitatilor islamice sa si formeze grupuri de tip kibut sau conglomerate puternic organizate in interiorul societatii occidentale iar memebrii acestei comunitati nu se conduc dupa legile normale in vigoare in statul respectiv.Toti apeleaza la legea fundamentala islamica cunoscuta sub numele de SHARIA…daca o cautati pe google sub cuvintele cheie “violence sharia videos” veti gasi imagini infioratoare cu maini taiate, oameni decapitati sau spanzuratori in piata publica….

O lege animalica,ancestrala, care permite in zilele noastre ca femeile sau adolescentele sa fie omorate cu pietre ca in evul mediu, ca femeile sa merga cu 5 metri in urma barbatilor , ca oamenii de zapada sa fie interzisi sau ca avioanele din  si catre Arabia Saudita sa fie separate pe barbati sau femei.

E bine sa aruncati un ochi si pe definitia legii islamice din wikipedia….ca sa intelegeti organizarea si rolurile acestui sistem paralel format din lideri religiosi numiti IMAMI sau judecatori religiosi numiti QADI ( sau cadiu in romana) …un sistem paralel si fara legatura cu realitatile lumii si libertatilor contemporane.

Pana atunci urmariti mai jos ce se intampla cu comunitatile muslime din UK care traiesc si acolo si se conduc dupa aceeasi implacabila lege SHARIA.

Mass immigration has led to the growth of Muslim ‘ghettos’ in Britain which are run under Sharia Law, Nigel Farage declared last night.

In an interview with US news channel Fox News, Mr Farage said the authorities had turned a ‘blind eye’ to the growth of ghettos where ‘the police and all the normal agents of the law have withdrawn and that is where Sharia law has come in’.

Mr Farage’s controversial remarks came after US terror ‘expert’ Steve Emerson sparked ridicule by claiming Birmingham was ‘totally Muslim’ and religious police squads were roaming the streets of London.

Communities Secretary Eric Pickles accused Mr Farage of ‘pandering to peoples’ worst fears’ and branded his comments ‘irresponsible and wrong’.

The Ukip leader was interviewed yesterday by presenter Sean Hannity on the causes of the Paris massacre, following his comments last week in which he blamed a ‘fifth column’ and ‘gross multiculturalism’ for the attacks.

In yesterday’s interview, Mr Hannity asked why Britain and other countries had allowed ‘people to come to the country, not assimilate, separate, take their land ostensibly and then risk even being at war with them’.

Mr Farage said: ‘I agreed with your sentiments entirely’.

He added: ‘So wherever you look you see this blind eye being turned and you see the growth of ghettos where the police and all the normal agents of the law have withdrawn and that is where Sharia Law has come in.’

Mr Farage said the imposition of Sharia law meant there had been no prosecutions for the ‘tens of thousands’ of female genital mutilations carried out in Britain.

He said ‘moral cowardice’ was to blame for the police not trying to catch Muslim men involved in child abuse in parts of Northern England.

Mr Farage's remarks, to the US TV chanel Fox News, came after the network's terror 'expert' Steven Emerson earlier this week claimed Birmingham was a 'no-go' zone for non-Muslims

Nigel Farage comments on the rise of radical Islam in Europe

NIGEL FARAGE: FRENCH CITIES HAVE ‘NO-GO ZONES’ FOR NON-MUSLIMS

Most big French cities have ‘no-go zones’ which non-Muslims cannot enter that are the result of European countries’ ‘moral cowardice’ in preventing the development of large ghettos, Nigel Farage has claimed.

The Ukip leader said such ‘no-go zones’ were increasing across Europe and he was ‘hoping and praying’ it did not occur in Britain, The Telegraph reported.

He said Britain had been turning a blind eye to preachers who had arrived in the country from the Middle East and were saying things for which the rest of the population would be arrested.

‘In parts of northern England we’ve seen the sexual grooming of under-age girls committed by Muslim men, in the majority, and for all of these things we are seeing the law not being applied equally, we’re seeing the police forces not doing their job because we’ve suffered from moral cowardice.

‘We have through mass immigration and through not checking the details of those people who have come to our countries, we have allowed big ghettos to develop and when it comes to confronting tough issues we’re run a mile and that is why we’re in the mess we’re in, we’ve been led very badly.’

Mr Farage said: ‘We’ve been turning a blind eye to preachers of hate that have been coming here from the Middle East and saying things for which the rest of us would be arrested.

‘In parts of northern England we’ve seen the sexual grooming of under-age girls committed by Muslim men, in the majority, and for all of these things we are seeing the law not being applied equally, we’re seeing the police forces not doing their job because we’ve suffered from moral cowardice.

‘We have through mass immigration and through not checking the details of those people who have come to our countries, we have allowed big ghettos to develop and when it comes to confronting tough issues we’re run a mile and that is why we’re in the mess we’re in, we’ve been led very badly.’

He said: ‘We even, a few years ago, had some quite clear examples where the immigration services were actually allowing women to come into Britain from Pakistan and elsewhere to join polygamous marriages something that is against our law.

But Mr Pickles said the comments were ‘irresponsible and wrong’, and accused the Ukip leader of both ‘running down’ Britain and ‘pandering to peoples’ worst fears’.

He said: ‘It is disappointing that Nigel Farage is running our country down on American television, and his comments are both irresponsible and wrong.

‘This Government is standing up for British values and British liberties.

‘We’ve clamped down on the excessive use of foreign translation by councils, re-affirmed the importance of Christianity in public life, tackled divisive politics in Tower Hamlets, and are taking firm action to stop the criminal abuse of children. Mr Farage should show some leadership rather than pandering to peoples’ worst fears.’

Fox News sparked controversy earlier this week when it interviewed a terror expert who said Birmingham is run by hard-line Islamists.

Steven Emerson said ‘there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in’.

Mr Emerson, whose website states he is an ‘internationally-recognised expert on terrorism’, later said sorry for his ‘terrible error’.

A US terror ‘expert’ sparked ridicule this week after claiming Birmingham was ‘totally Muslim’ and ‘non-Muslims just simply don’t go in’.

Steve Emerson made the bizarre comments on Fox News in the US – also claiming there were religious police squads roaming the streets of London who ‘seriously wound’ people in non-Muslim dress.

David Cameron labelled him a ‘complete idiot’. He added: ‘When I heard this, frankly I choked on my porridge.’

It also sparked bafflement on Twitter under the hashtag #FoxNewsFacts, with users suggesting his theory was about as likely as Brummie TV presenter Adrian Chiles being a radical cleric.

Online wits used images of Mecca Bingo, the Queen wearing a headscarf and bearded football manager Roy Keane to satirise the bizarre statement made by Steve Emerson on American television.

Others made a series of groan-worthy puns – including jokes about ‘Halal Kitty’, ‘Burqa King’ and ‘Mosque Bros’.

The controversy originated when Mr Emerson, a self-styled expert on terrorism, was participating in a Fox News discussion in the wake of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo’s office in Paris.

‘In Britain, it’s not just no-go zones,’ he claimed. ‘There are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in.’

The pundit later apologised for his blunder – just 22 per cent of the city’s residents are Muslim, compared to 46 per cent describing themselves as Christian – but could not stop the bemused reaction.

Amidst the backlash, he announced that he would donate £500 to Birmingham Children’s Hospital in a bid to atone for his ‘terrible, inexcusable error’.

Among those criticising Mr Emerson were Prime Minister David Cameron, who said yesterday: ‘When I heard this, frankly I choked on my porridge. This guy is clearly a complete idiot.’

Others were even more scathing, using the hashtag #foxnewsfacts to mock the controversy.

Journalist Richard Adams tweeted a photograph of Roy Keane, former assistant manager of Aston Villa who now sparks a large beard, writing: ‘Dangerous bearded fanatics have a history of running Birmingham’s sporting institutions.’

In a similar vein, cricket writer James Marsh posted a picture of England star Moeen Ali with the caption: ‘Terrifying photo of how a typical Muslim from Birmingham guards the city gates against infidels.’

Several users put up photographs of Mecca Bingo branches, joking that the name of the company is a reference to the holiest city in Islam.

And BBC DJ Nihal joked: ‘Ozzy Osborne was part of a Muslim sleeper cell known as Black Shaheed. Ozzy short for Osman.’

Professional comedians also got in on the trend – Al Murray tweeted: ‘Ming the Merciless is named after the centre of Birmingham.’

Politican Tom Copley weighed in with a pun, writing: ‘Birmingham has a chain of fast food restaurants called Burqa King.’

Another joker, Wes White, started a petition on Change.org with the title ‘Let non-Muslims back in to the city of Birmingham’.

He wrote: ‘Birmingham had loads of non-muslims in the last time I was there, so this is a real shock.

‘We call upon the city of Birmingham and other non-specified British cities to once again allow non-Muslims to roam their streets.’

Mr Emerson announced yesterday that he would give a donation to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and the hospital confirmed today that it had received a £500 gift from the pundit.

A spokesman said: ‘We would like to thank Mr Emerson for his donation. The money he has donated will go towards improving the lives of thousands of patients and their families who are treated at our hospital each year.

‘We hope that the public reaction to his comments have shown what a fantastic city Birmingham is to live and work in.’

Most residents of the city have stood up for their home, praising its diversity and denying that there are significant problems between the different races living there.

However, a few years ago it was reported that many white working-class inhabitants of Birmingham felt they were unable to visit some areas of the city at night due to hostility towards them from immigrant communities.
