BETRAYAL OF ALLIED TROOPS - British Royal Marines on trial - DISGUSTING

As with Israeli, US and other allies, UK forces are always under scrutiny, not by the enemy but by the very systems they fight and die for.

A recording of the moments a British Royal Marine allegedly "executed" a captured Afghan national has been released by a military court.

That's nice of the British legal system.

Three men - known only as marines A, B and C - are appearing before a court martial charged with killing the unknown person on or around September 15 2011 while on patrol in Afghanistan. They rightfully deny the charges.

These brave soldiers had been enduring hard battle leading up to these events and they hardly rounded up villages, matched the inhabitants off and murdered them in freshly dug graves did they? This is post heat of battle incidents and the British legal system should be ashamed.

A gunshot is heard on the newly-released audio recording shortly before Marine A is heard saying: "Shuffle off this mortal coil, you ****."

He is then heard saying: "Obviously this doesn't go anywhere fellas ... I've just broken the Geneva Convention."

This is war people, things happen in war that otherwise wouldn't happen in peacetime. The Taliban murder children. Rape, beheadings and murder if horrific kinds occur at Taliban hands yet the British and other western justice systems care little for this. In fact on the contrary they give away money, legal aid and grants to terrorists.

The whole event was filmed by a camera mounted on the helmet of one of the three commandos. The judge in the case has refused to release the footage, but has agreed that the audio can be made public.

British Soldiers pay the ultimate price - Why we can't trust the enemy or 'supposed friend' - ANY OF THEM!

British Soldiers Posed With 'Killers' Before Deaths

Two British soldiers shot dead by two rogue Afghan policemen posed for pictures with their suspected killers moments before they died, an inquest was told.

Corporal Brent McCarthy, 25, and Lance Corporal Lee Davies, 27, died of gunshot wounds in an attack at an Afghan police base in the Lashkar Gah district of Helmand province on Saturday, May 12, last year.

The inquest at Oxfordshire Coroners Court was shown several photographs including one of Cpl McCarthy, of the Royal Air Force, with one of the policemen each holding the other's weapon.

Another showed both Afghans posing for the camera with their own AK47 rifles.

It also emerged during evidence that it was unclear to several soldiers which of them was tasked with keeping his comrades in the patrol safe from an insider attack.

The role was regarded as being the 'guardian angel' of the group.

L/Cpl Davies and Cpl McCarthy had been part of an eight-man British Army patrol, with an interpreter, who regularly advised and trained Afghans at a nearby base run by local forces.

Cpl McCarthy - an RAF policeman - acted as a specialist advisor.

On the occasion when the deaths occurred, the patrol had arrived at the base without warning so the British could question the local police commander about a tip-off that one of his fellow commanders was working with the Taliban.

A short while after the patrol arrived, there was a burst of gunfire which left both servicemen including L/Cpl Davies, of 1st Battalion Welsh Guards, fatally injured.

The two suspected killers, dressed in police uniforms, were seen dashing out the base's main gate and across fields by another British soldier who managed to fire a shot at one of them.

One of the suspects was pursued and killed, while the other shooter escaped.

Guardsman Joshua Foley, of the Welsh Guards, said the training group had "a good relationship" with the Afghans but added a new local police unit had moved into the base meaning there were several unfamiliar faces when they had arrived that afternoon.

As guardsman Foley was stood with L/Cpl Davies and Cpl McCarthy, two Afghan policemen passed them near the main entrance to the base and there was an attempt by the British soldiers to strike up some "banter".

"We tried to have a laugh with them but they didn't seem to get it," Guardsman Foley told the coroner.

However, Cpl McCarthy then produced his camera and the Afghans agreed to have some photos taken, including with the RAF policeman.

Guardsman Foley then described how L/Cpl Davies commented to his fellow soldiers that one of the Afghans appeared to have a wet patch between his legs.

He then left L/Cpl Davies and Cpl McCarthy with the policemen to take up duty in one of the base's two guard towers.

Describing what happened next, he said: "I heard a rapid burst of shots, and as I looked I saw the two Afghan police holding their weapons and L/Cpl Davies was lying back."

"I did not see the Afghan police fire any shots but they both ran out of the main entrance."

He was asked by counsel for the McCarthy family, Sebastian Naughton, about who he understood to have taken on the guardian angel role.

Guardsman Foley said he had assumed the role was initially his as he was "the spare man" until he went to relieve a sentry in the guard tower, when it passed to the next man.

His colleague L/Cpl Jo Price confirmed the informal arrangement but Mr Naughton said it had been suggested elsewhere in evidence that Cpl McCarthy had been the guardian angel.

Meanwhile, in later evidence, second in command that day Sergeant Robert Heath told the coroner he had specifically tasked L/Cpl Davies with the job, and also with rotating the sentries.

Obama surrenders America and the West to radical Islam - US taken downfrom war footing to appease the enemy

A new study shows terrorist strikes have surged as U.S. drone strikes have plunged since May, when the president announced he was taking America off "perpetual war footing."

As the House intelligence committee chief warns, "This is no time to retreat." Yet that's exactly what our commander in chief is doing.

The threat of terrorism is "not diminishing," warned GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, head of the intel panel. "There have been counterterrorism changes made by the administration that have concerned us all."

Those changes went into effect May 23, after President Obama gave a speech at the National Defense University in Washington declaring a "new phase" in the drone campaign against terrorist targets in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia - the one thing Obama has heretofore done right in the ongoing war he won't name.

Reacting to criticism from Muslim-rights groups, he vowed to curb the use of drones to "avoid civilian casualties."

"The use of force must be seen as part of a larger discussion we need to have about a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy - because for all the focus on the use of force, force alone cannot make us safe," he said.

"We cannot use force everywhere that a radical ideology takes root; and in the absence of a strategy that reduces the wellspring of extremism, a perpetual war - through drones or Special Forces or troop deployments - will prove self-defeating, and alter our country in troubling ways."

Obama then announced the U.S. would shift to a new strategy of winning Muslim hearts and minds.

"So the next element of our strategy involves addressing the underlying grievances and conflicts that feed extremism - from North Africa to South Asia," he said.

To the joy of our enemy, Obama has followed through on his word. "We have limited the use of drones," he confirmed last week in his speech to the United Nations.

In fact, drone strikes have fallen off sharply. According to the Long War Journal, the U.S. this year has launched just 23 drone strikes in Pakistan - half 2012"s rate and a fraction of 2010"s peak of 117.

Not coincidentally, the tempo of terrorist activity has surged over the same period. According to the West Point Combating Terrorism Center, there have been more than 60 terror attacks around the world just since this July, the last one on a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, which killed 68.

To think Gaza used to be thriving and Jewish - Now it's being Talibanised by Hamas

Rather than acting for the citizens of Gaza, Hamas has been strangling dissent and enforcing its particular extremist vision of society ever since taking power in a bloody coup d'état in 2006. At home and around the world, the terrorist group now in control of Gaza holds a Taliban-like grip over its citizens.

When the Hamas terrorist organization violently took control of Gaza in 2006, Hamas official Nizar Rayyan proclaimed "the end of secularism and heresy in Gaza." Hamas quickly got to work manifesting its extremist Islamist vision of society enshrined in its to-date unchanged charter, which calls for the full implementation of Islamic law. Since then, Hamas has been accused at home and in the international arena of imposing a Taliban model of society on Gaza.

What does Talibanization really mean?

According to Professor Francesca Giovannini of the University of California Berkeley in her book The Fundamentalist City?: Religiosity and the Remaking of Urban Space (2011), the term talibanization usually "implies a number of conditions: the strict regulation of women; the prohibition of entertainment including music, movies, dance and television; the enforcement of a specific religious appearance...the aggressive enforcement of regulations of personal conduct...the oppression of Muslim minorities including Shi'a; the harboring of Islamic militia operatives...and last but not least discrimination against non-Muslims."

Prof. Giovannini's conditions of talibanization were not written with Hamas specifically in mind, and yet, the terrorist group in control of Gaza is guilty of almost all of these conditions listed.

Women's rights in Gaza

Hamas' enforcement of its extremist and myopic vision of society has particularly discriminated against women. Hamas "morality police" have punished women for riding scooters behind men, smoking cigarettes or water pipes in public, leaving their hair uncovered, dressing "inappropriately" (i.e. in Western-style or close-fitting clothing, such as jeans or T-shirts), and have forbidden women from dancing in public events. Single women accompanied by men have been stopped by policemen in civilian clothing, separated and questioned to determine whether they are married.

In the summer of 2009, a "virtue campaign" was launched that required female lawyers to wear headscarves and prevented gender mixing in public places. Recently, Al Aqsa University, a public university in Gaza, introduced an Islamic dress code for women. Female students of Al Aqsa, long considered a home of political and intellectual diversity, must now follow a strict dress code, including wearing an abaya (cloak) and hijab (veil) while on campus.

Earlier in 2013, a marathon that was meant to take place on April 10, was cancelled by the event's sponsor and organizer UNWRA. The reason for the event's cancellation was because of Hamas' decision to not allow women to participate.

Men also suffer from Hamas' will to mold society to its image. Hamas has imposed a ban on low-waisted trousers and Western-style haircuts. The decision is directed against young Palestinian men in the Gaza Strip, whom Hamas fears have been inculcated with Western values by way of television and the internet.

Christians in Gaza

Under a totalitarian Islamist government, Gaza's Christians have been feeling the heat. Not long after the takeover, on June 19, 2007, masked gunmen looted and torched the Rosary Sisters convent and school. Following the attack, Christian citizens in Gaza expressed fear of being targeted as well. One Christian citizen said: "We are afraid of being attacked... If I get the chance to leave the country, I will not hesitate to do so. Someone from the [Hamas] Executive Force tore the crucifix from my neck, saying: "That is forbidden." Then he added: "Islam is the solution.""

Another early attack on Christians was the murder of Gaza's only Christian bookstore owner, Rami Ayyad. On October 10, 2007, he was kidnapped, shot in the head and tossed onto a Gaza street. From the time of Hamas" rise to power, he had been receiving death threats.

More recently, Christians in Gaza, including the senior members of the church in Gaza, have complained about forced conversions in Gaza. There have also been complaints about discrimination against Christians by way of the specific Islamic agenda of Hamas, such as the new law obligating the gender segregation of schools, or the banning of the public sale of alcohol in the strip.

The arts in Gaza

The arts too, an essential element of self-expression, must pass through Hamas' Islamist filter. Books that are deemed immoral aren't allowed to be sold in stores and can be confiscated. Hamas angered many Palestinians in 2007 when it banned the book "Speak, Bird, Speak Again", a collection of 45 Palestinian folk tales, from Gazan schools. The ban was later lifted. Moreover, films made in Gaza have to pass before Gaza's Culture Ministry before they are shown publicly, and the content is shaped to conform to Hamas' liking.

Before Mohammad Assaf, a 23-year-old Palestinian from Gaza, lifted Gazans' spirits by winning the extremely popular TV show "Arab Idol," Hamas nixed a similar American Idol type show. In 2011, the first episode of the Palestinian show "A New Star" was recorded in Gaza City, for which around 120 contestants showed up for auditions. However, Hamas then banned the show from Gaza. Hassan Abu Hashish, who heads the media office in the Hamas-run government, said that the program was "indecent," and added that singing was not an interest of the majority of the Gazan community.

Violating democracy

Even though Hamas considers touts itself as democratic - it sought to rise to power through elections - it grossly violates the spirit of democracy and basic civil rights. Hamas sometimes, due to public pressure, rescinds its limits to freedom, such as the banning of public smoking for women. But soon after, it replaces the rescinded restriction with another one, leaving Gaza's residents guessing what step the Islamist group might take next.
