Dead Hearts and Empty Supplications

Dead Hearts and Empty Supplications:



It is reported that Ibrâhîm b. Adham (d162H) – Allâh have mercy on him – once passed through the market of Basrah. People gathered around him and asked:


O Abû Ishâq, Allâh the Exalted says in his Book. ‘Call on me, I will answer your prayers’, but we have been calling on Him for a long time and He does not answer our prayers. [Ibrâhîm] replied, “O people of Basrah, your hearts have died in respect to ten things: First, you know Allâh but you do not give Him His rights; second, you have read Allâh’s Book but you do not act by it; third, you claim to love Allâh’s Messenger – Allâh’s peace and blessings be upon him – yet you abandon his Sunnah; fourth, you claim to be enemies to Shaytân but you conform to [his ways]; fifth, you say you love Paradise yet you do not work for it; sixth, you say you fear The Fire yet you put yourselves closer to it [by sinning]; seventh, you say death is true but you do not prepare for it; eighth, you busy yourselves with the faults of others and disregard your own; ninth, you consume the favors of your Lord but are not grateful for them; and tenth, you bury your dead but take no lesson from them.”

Advice to Teenage Girls and Choosing Friends

You should note that the stage of adolescence is the most dangerous stage that a person goes through, because during this stage there are many physical, mental, emotional and sexual changes, and the shaytaan is keen to tempt a person during this stage by whatever means and methods he can. Hence every adolescent boy and girl must be cautious. What we recommend at this stage is:



Firstly:


* Strive to do acts of worship, both obligatory and mustahabb, and strive to keep away from haraam, doubtful and makrooh things.


* Among the means which will help you to avoid falling into the trap of the shaytaan and keep away from disobedience to Allaah are:


* Remembering that Allaah is always watching and bearing in mind His greatness, especially when you are alone.


* Not following in the footsteps of the shaytaan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan), then, verily, he commands Al Fahsha’ [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse)], and Al Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; and to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam)]” [al-Noor 24:21]. The steps of the shaytaan are like a chain; the one who follows them will not stop and each step is more serious than the one that came before it, unless a person checks himself and gives it up and repents from every sin.


* Repenting from every sin. A Muslim may fall into sin, but if that happens what he must do is give it up and repent, and not continue and persist in it. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And those who, when they have committed Faahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allaah and ask forgiveness for their sins; — and none can forgive sins but Allaah — and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:135]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every son of Adam commits sin, and the best of those who commit sin are those who repent.” Narrated by Ibn Majaah (4251). Shaykh al-Albaani said: It is hasan.


* Thinking of death and the meeting with Allaah. The one who remembers that death may come to him suddenly and that he will meet Allaah, Who will ask him about his deeds, will avoid sin.


* Turning to Allaah and praying that He will help you to do good deeds and give up evil deeds, for Allaah will never let down the one who calls upon Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright” [al-Baqarah 2:186].


Secondly:


Strive to find good companions and keep away from bad companions, for a friend will have an impact on his friends, as it was said:


Do not ask about a man, rather ask about his friend, for every friend follows the example of his friends.


Thirdly:


You should fill your time with beneficial and useful things, both religious and worldly, and beware of free time for it is one of the greatest sources of corruption at this stage.


Fourthly:


If you want to win people’s hearts, then treat them kindly and have a good attitude towards them, cooperate with them and meet their needs, for in this way you will be able to win their hearts.


Among the wisdom narrated from ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) are his words:


Do favours to whoever you want and you will be like his master, and be in need of whoever you want and you will be like his prisoner, and be independent of whoever you want and you will be his equal.


We will say something in general terms about winning people’s hearts and earning their love.


Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):


“Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allaah and in His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)] and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Gracious (Allaah) will bestow love for them (in the hearts of the believers)” [Maryam 19:96]


Qataadah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his commentary on this verse: This means, by Allaah, in the hearts of the believers. It was mentioned to us that Haram ibn Hayaan used to say: No person turns with all his heart to Allaah but Allaah will turn the hearts of the believers towards him, until He blesses him with their love and compassion. Tafseer al-Tabari (18/266).


It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Allaah loves a person, He calls Jibreel (A) and says: ‘I love So and so, so love him.’ So Jibreel loves him, then he calls out to the people of heaven, ‘Allaah loves So and so, so love him.’ So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth. If Allaah hates someone, He calls Jibreel and says: ‘I hate So and so, so hate him.’ So Jibreel hates him, then he calls out to the people of heaven: ‘Allaah hates So and so, so hate him.’ So they hate him and he is hated on earth.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (7485) and Muslim (2637).


Now you see that winning people’s hearts and earning their love is not within your capacity or that of any other human being, rather it is in the hand of Allaah alone, may He be glorified and exalted. He is the One Who softens hearts towards one another and He is the One Who separates them. He is the One Who gives and withholds, lowers and raises. All of this is part and parcel of His being the Rabb (Lord or Cherisher and Sustainer) of His creation, may He be glorified.


As for how to attain the love of Allaah, this is the greatest desire of the believer, and this is the great and noble purpose for which there is only one way to attain it, which is by following and obeying His Prophet. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):


“Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to mankind): “If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah), Allaah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:31]


It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My slave draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My slave continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful slave: he hates death and I hate hurting him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6502).


If there remain after that people of evil and corruption who love to spread evil among those who believe, and they want to harm you, and want you to agree with them, and are annoyed by your obedience to the Most Merciful, and your keenness to worship Him and attain all the branches of faith, then do not pay any attention to them, and continue on your straight path, and be with His righteous slaves.


Here we should point out the importance of respecting parents and relatives, for they are the most deserving of good treatment and of your efforts to win their hearts. It is essential to be patient with parents when they regard you as still being young, because no matter how old you get, you are still young in your parents’ eyes. Moreover they have the right of being in charge of you, looking after you, raising and teaching you, and disciplining you. They are entrusted with your care, and are responsible for you in this world and in the Hereafter. Part of their duty is that they should ensure that you follow proper etiquette and pay attention to the rulings of Islam, and respect the people’s customs and traditions so long as they do not go against sharee’ah. All of that may conflict with the desires and inclinations of teenagers, which may lead to the situation that you describe, and you feel that it is a problem, i.e., reconciling between what is required of you as a teenager and the whims and desires of your own nafs, and what the duties of etiquette demand of you, and what your parents’ rights dictate, that you should respect and accept the guardianship of your parents.


Hence you will know the answer to the rest of your question. If this friend is a good person, then try to love her and grow close to her, and if she is a bad and corrupt person, then keep away from her and she will also keep away from you.


“Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women): such (good people) are innocent of (every) bad statement which they say; for them is forgiveness, and Rizqun Kareem (generous provision, i.e. Paradise)” [al-Noor 24:26].


And Allaah knows best.

A Wake Up Call To The Ummah!

Until then, Allah says: 'Verily, Allah will never change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.' [Ar-Ra'd, 13:11]

We have become Alien to Islam as Islam have become Alien to us...


While thousands of Muslims are killed all over the world, and while tens of thousands are imprisoned and tortured for calling to the path of Allah and for enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, most Muslims remain remarkably silent and have no worry except for the material things of life. Their hearts have been filled with the love of this life and the forgetfulness of the Hereafter.


Allah says in the Qur'an: "You will indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life, even more than those who do not believe in Resurrection. Each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from due punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do." (Al Baqarah, 2:96)


Many Muslims today have become so much attached to their life that their desire is to dwell among their family, house, money and commerce. They have forgotten that matters of the Hereafter should come before matters of this life and that we must strive to follow the orders of Allah, not just those we find easy and convenient to follow.


Some Muslims today claim that it is better to perform extra prayers and extra fasting rather than enjoin the good and forbid the evil or defend the lives of weak Muslims. Such people would even blame the Muslims who strive to perform these obligations.


This is what Ibn al-Qayyim had to say about such people: ''The Shaitan has misled most people by beautifying for them the performance of certain voluntary acts of worship such as voluntary prayers and voluntary fasting while neglecting other obligatory acts of worship such as enjoining the good and eradicating the evil, to the extent that they do not even make the intention of performing them whenever they are able to.


Such people are considered by the scholars to be on the bottom of the scale of religion: For the essence of our religion is to perform what Allah ordered us to do. The one who does not perform his obligations is actually worse than the one who performs sins.


Anyone having some knowledge about the revelation of Allah, the guidance of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, and the life of the companions would conclude that those who are pointed at today as the most pious people are in fact the least pious.


Indeed, what kind of piety is there in a person who witnesses Allah's sanctities being violated, his religion abandoned, the Sunnah of His Messenger shunned, and yet remains still with a cold heart and a shut mouth' Such a person is like a dumb Shaitan! In the same way the one who talks falsehood is a speaking Shaitan.


Isn't the misfortune of Islam due only to those who whenever their life and food are secure, would not care about what happens to the religion? The best among them would offer a sorry face. But if they were challenged in one of the things their heart is attached to like their money, they would spare no efforts to get it back.


These people, besides deserving the anger of Allah, are afflicted with the greatest calamity without even knowing it: They have a dead heart. Indeed the more alive a person's heart is, the stronger its anger for the sake of Allah and the more complete his support to Islam and Muslims."

Haiti: Natural or Man-made?

Haiti: Natural or Man-made?

By Umar Abdullah, 04 February 2010

Within days of Katrina's August 29, 2005, landfall, public debate arose about the local, state and federal governments' role in the preparations for and response to the storm. Criticism was prompted largely by televised images of visibly shaken and frustrated political leaders, and of residents who remained in New Orleans without water, food or shelter, and the deaths of several citizens by thirst, exhaustion, and violence days after the storm itself had passed. The

treatment of people who had evacuated to registered facilities such as the Superdome was also criticized.


Haiti January 12 2010 saw a completely different response. Within hours the United States Coast Guard deployed helicopters and several aircraft and cutters to the region to aid in relief work and perform reconnaissance flights over Haiti, which aided in assessing the worst


damaged areas, The Coast Guard Cutter Forward arrived in the waters off Port-au-Prince at about 8 a.m. on Wednesday, and together with a Maritime Intelligence Support Team, was able to assess some of the damage caused to the port. The Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk also arrived in the coastal waters of Haiti on Wednesday afternoon. The International Committee of the Red Cross had set up a special website to facilitate family contacts, which allowed people in Haiti and abroad to register the names of relatives whom they wanted to contact. It incorporated responses to those queries as they became available, Catholic Relief Services, which has worked in Haiti for 50 years, prepared food and other aid to help those affected, committing US $5 million to help survivors. It was as though they were expecting such a disaster. They were all prepared... there was nothing to it.


Let me now bring to your attention an article on climate manipulation published in 1999, focusing specifically on the incidence of earthquakes.


"Weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary... In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending on its interests, at various levels." (Air University of the US Air Force, AF 2025 Final Report, http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/ )


"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised... Techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm." (Zbigniew Brzezinski, Former National Security Adviser, Between Two Ages, Greenwood Publishing Group, 1992)


Weather modification technology has been perfected under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) which was part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI). Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction.

Two devastating earthquakes in the month of September 1999 again focused the world’s attention on one of nature’s most terrifying and destructive forces. Earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan took the lives of thousands and left even more people homeless and in fear of returning to their devastated communities.


The death and devastation caused by major earthquakes around the world can only worsen in years to come, as growing urban development and unprecedented population growth compound the lethal effects of natural and, as some researchers claim, man-made seismic hazards. With the world’s population already over 6 billion, there are fewer unpopulated places for quakes to strike. And with ever more people to accommodate, there is more multi-storied construction in vulnerable fault zones. As a result, destructive earthquakes “are the wave of the future,” seismic expert Kerry Sieh of the California Institute of Technology says. “There are 40 cities of a million or more people within 100 kilometres of a major plate boundary, and all those are good candidates for a large event.” (Los Angeles Times, 21 September 1999)


The devastating tsunami created December 26, 2004 by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people on the shores of the Indian Ocean caught the world off guard. It was the largest earthquake since the 9.2 magnitude Good Friday Earthquake off Alaska in 1964, and ties for fourth largest since 1900.


The earthquake that struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra occurred in a location geologists know is susceptible to powerful earthquakes. The quake occurred along a “subduction zone,” in which the Indian tectonic plate is being subducted, or pulled beneath, the Burma tectonic platelet. The overlying plate jumped upward more than 4.5 metres, lifting the water above it and setting off the tsunami.


For some, the finger of blame doesn’t point squarely at nature but at top secret military testing in the waters of the Indian Ocean.


The Egyptian weekly magazine Al-Osboa claimed the earthquake that triggered the tsunami “was possibly” caused by an Indian nuclear experiment in which “Israeli and American nuclear experts participated”.


An Australian researcher, Joe Vialls, (www.vialls.com) in his article “Did New York Orchestrate the Asian Tsunami?” analyses how easy it would be to deliver “a multi-megaton thermonuclear weapon to the bottom of the Sumatran Trench, and then detonate it with awesome effect.”


Days after the disaster, Canadian Professor Michel Chossudovsky wrote an article titled “Foreknowledge of a Natural Disaster: Washington was aware that a deadly Tidal Wave was building up in the Indian Ocean”  (www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO412C.html) He noted “the US Navy was fully aware of the deadly tidal wave, because the Navy was on the Pacific Warning Centre’s list of contacts. Moreover, America’s strategic naval base on the island of Diego Garcia had also been notified. Although directly in the path of the tidal wave, the Diego Garcia military base reported ‘no damage’.”


“With modern communications, the information of an impending disaster could have been sent around the world in a matter of minutes, by email, by telephone, by fax, not to mention by live satellite television,” he adds.


Others see the catastrophe as a ‘sign of the times’ in which we live, and a portent of what is to come as the Earth and humanity experience even more changes as part of the end of a world cycle.


What Are Earthquakes?


Natural earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates over the Earth’s mantle. Sandwiched between Earth’s crust and molten outer core, the vast mantle accounts for 83 percent of the planet’s volume. It is filled with solid rock but, heated by the core and by its own


radioactive decay; it circulates like a pot of impenetrable soup. That circulation is the driving force behind the surface motion of tectonic plates, which builds mountains and causes earthquakes.


The destructive power of an earthquake comes from the momentum gathered when two opposing “faults” or tectonic plates, which may have been locked together for decades, suddenly move apart. The result is that solid rock which normally moves only with the passing of geological ages accelerates briefly to 5,000mph, unleashing huge quantities of energy and creating a shaking movement of up to a metre a second.


Most people consider earthquakes to be natural in origin, but what if there was such a thing as man-made earthquakes? Well, there are. There is the official version of what constitutes a man-made earthquake, and then there is a body of suppressed research pointing to a more insidious agenda.


Artificially-Induced Earthquakes


Officially, there is such an area of research devoted to man-made earthquakes. Geologists and seismologists agree that humans can induce earthquakes in five major ways: fluid injection into the Earth, fluid extraction from the Earth, mining or quarrying, nuclear testing and through the construction of dams and reservoirs.


In fact, there are officially recorded instances of earthquakes caused by human activity.


Geologists discovered that disposal of waste fluids by means of injecting them deep into the earth could trigger earthquakes after a series of earthquakes in the Denver area occurred from 1962-1965; the periods and amounts of injected waste coincided with the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes in the Denver area. The earthquakes were triggered because the liquid, which was injected under very high pressure, released stored strain energy in the rocks. (http://www.wittenberg.edu/academics/geol/progcrs/geol220/finneart/index.shtml)


In 2004, best-selling thriller author Ken Follett released his latest book, Hammer of Eden, about a terrorist group threatening to level San Francisco with a man-made earthquake. When asked by Salon Magazine how real is the idea of a man-made earthquake? Follett replied that “Some of the seismologists told me, ‘There’s no way this could happen.’ But others gave sad little shrugs and said, ‘It’s hard to say. Who knows? May-be. It’s within the realm of possibly.”


Suppressed Research: Tesla Technologies


Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Nicola Tesla is one of this century’s greatest scientists. A inventor of electronic devices and pioneer of free energy, Tesla never gained the recognition he deserved because his scientific breakthroughs were deemed to ‘sensitive’ by the ruling corporate and government powers of the day. Thus much of his research was suppressed and stolen.


In a book entitled Tesla – The Lost Inventions, a section is titled “Man-Made Earthquake”. It discloses Tesla’s fascination with the power of resonance and he experimented with it not only electrically but on the mechanical plane as well. In his Manhattan, USA lab, Tesla built mechanical vibrators and tested their powers. One experiment got out of hand.


Tesla attached a powerful little vibrator driven by compressed air to a steel pillar. Leaving it there, he went about his business. Meanwhile, down the street, a violent quaking built up, shaking down plaster, bursting plumbing, cracking windows, and breaking heavy machinery off its anchorages.


Tesla’s vibrator had found the resonant frequency of a deep sandy layer of subsoil beneath his building, setting off a small earthquake. Soon Tesla’s own building began to quake. It is reported that just as the police broke into his lab, Tesla was seen smashing the device with a sledge hammer, the only way he could promptly stop it.


In a similar experiment, on an evening walk through the city, Tesla attached a battery powered vibrator, described as being the size of an alarm clock, to the steel framework of a building under construction. He adjusted it to a suitable frequency and set the structure into resonant vibration.


The structure shook, and so did the earth under his feet. Tesla later boasted he could shake down the Empire State Building with such a device. If this claim was not extravagant enough, he went on to say a large-scale resonant vibration was capable of splitting the earth in half.


An article from the 11 July, 1935 issue of the New York American entitled ‘Tesla’s Controlled Earthquakes’, stated Tesla’s “experiments in transmitting mechanical vibrations through the earth – called by him ‘the art of telegeodynamics’ – were roughly described by the scientists as a sort of controlled earthquake.”


The article quotes Tesla as stating:


The rhythmical vibrations pass through the earth with almost no loss of energy. It becomes possible to convey mechanical effects to the greatest terrestrial distances and produce all kinds of unique effects. The invention could be used with destructive effect in war…


Mysterious Lights


Several UFO researchers speculate many UFO sightings might actually be “earthquake lights” caused by ‘piezoelectric’ phenomena. Piezoelectricity is believed to be caused by crystals found in certain rocks giving off a flow of electricity when subjected to high pressure, as in an earthquake. Lights leaping away from mountain peaks have been seen and recorded since ancient times.


Reports coming out of Turkey’s devastating earthquake mention mysterious lights over the west of the country. The following intriguing eyewitness report was forwarded to Mutual UFO Network Eastern USA from Turkey:


They were incredibly clear, circular or triangular in shape, white, yellow, red and blue coloured; remain visible in the sky for 5 to 20 minutes, following a materialising-dematerialising pattern. The funny thing is it became a routine thing as they have been showing up two or three times a week. They became an inevitable component of the TV news and media. Furthermore, just before the quake, the bottom of the sea in Izmit went red and the sea temperature went up to 40-45 degrees C. However, there are no underwater volcanoes in the Sea of Marmara! Starting two days before the quake, hundreds of fish, crabs and other sea life forms died and not naturally! Somehow, they were burned! The fish nets of the fishermen were burned and we have several rock and stone samples from the sea, which went black in colour. TUVPO (Turkish UFO and Paranormal Organisation) had cooperating with the Smithsonian Institute and a few universities in the US. Some rock and burned fishnet samples were sent upon request. Folks at TUVPO have hopefully run a spectrum analysis on the video tapes. Some fishermen are also saying that they witnessed an explosion under the sea. Fireballs, strange lights, sightings never ended in Turkey. (From HAKAN, konac@pop3.ada.net.tr)


Compare this information with what happened in the destructive 1977 earthquake that hit China. The 5 June, 1977 New York Times described the great earthquake which destroyed Tangshan, China on July 28, 1976, killing over 650,000 people:


Just before the first tremor at 3:42 am, the sky lit up like daylight. The multi-hued lights, mainly white and red, were seen up to 200 miles away. Leaves on many trees were burned to a crisp and growing vegetables were scorched on one side, as if by a fireball.


Tesla Effect


Some investigators believe these electrical effects were associated with electromagnetic plasma and ball lightning and the strange array of flashes that result from Tesla-style technology. Was this brilliant flash of coloured light what Tesla talked about in 1935 when he mentioned “all kinds of unique effects”? Was this earthquake an early test of the system, conducted on the unsuspecting people of China? It certainly does not appear it was a natural earthquake. Was the same technology tried out on Turkey?


Andrija Puharich, MD, LL.D. in January 1978, issued a detailed research paper titled, “Global Magnetic Warfare – A Layman’s View of Certain Artificially Induced Unusual Effects on the Planet Earth During 1976 and 1977”. He was primarily looking into Soviet experiments with Tesla technology and believed controlled earthquakes were part and parcel of that work. Of them he wrote: “Of the many great earthquakes of 1976, there is one that demands special attention – the July 28, 1976 Tangshan, China earthquake.”


The January 1978 edition of Specula magazine ran an article describing an incredibly profound phenomenon that could be produced within the Earth by what is called the ‘Tesla Effect.’ According to the article, electromagnetic signals of certain frequencies can be transmitted


through the Earth to form standing waves in the Earth itself. In certain cases, coherence to this standing wave can be induced wherein a fraction of the vast, surging electromagnetic current of the Earth itself feeds into and augments the induced standing wave. In other words, “much more energy is now present in the standing wave than the ...amount being fed in from the Earth’s surface.” By interferometer techniques, giant standing waves can be combined to produce a focused beam of very great energy. This can then be used to produce earthquakes induced at distant aiming points.


Tesla expressed grave concerns about the effects of this technology because it is exactly the type of thing that could easily get out of control once it begins vibrating within the Earth – and it could actually cause the Earth to vibrate to pieces. Could the use of this technique have been responsible for the great earthquake in Tangshan, China in 1976? Or Haiti in 2010?


Another leading Tesla researcher and nuclear engineer, Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden, lecturing at a Symposium of the US Psychotronics Association (USPA) in 1981 stated:


Tesla found that he could set up standing waves… in the earth (the molten core), or, just set it up through the rocks – the telluric activity in the rocks would furnish activity into these waves and one would get more potential energy in those waves than he put in. He called the concept the Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT).


Bearden goes on to explain how TMTs worked:


They will go through anything. What you do is that you set up a standing wave through the earth and the molten core of the earth begins to feed that wave (we are talking Tesla now). When you have that standing wave, you have set up a triode. What you’ve done is that the molten core of the earth is feeding the energy and it’s like your signal – that you are putting in – is gating the grid of a triode… Then what you do is that you change the frequency. If you change the frequency one way (starts to diphase it), you dump the energy up in the atmosphere beyond the point on the other side of the earth that you focused upon. You start ionising the air, you can change the weather flow patterns (jet streams etc) – you can change all that – if you dump it gradually, real gradually – you influence the heck out of the weather. It’s a great weather machine. If you dump it sharply, you don’t get little ionisation like that. You will get flashes and fireballs (plasma) that will come down on the surfaces of the earth… you can cause enormous weather changes over entire regions by playing that thing back and forth.


HAARP: The Pentagon’s Ultimate Weapon


In an Arctic compound 450 kilometres east of Anchorage, Alaska, the Pentagon has erected a powerful transmitter designed to beam more than a gig watt of energy into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Known as Project HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program), the $30 million experiment involves the world’s largest “ionospheric heater,” a prototype device designed to zap the skies hundreds of kilometres above the earth with high-frequency radio waves.

Why expose the charged particles of the ionosphere with such levels of high-frequency radio waves (which when energised by natural processes make up the lovely and famous phenomenon known as the Northern Lights)? According to the US Navy and Air Force, co-sponsors of the project, “to observe the complex natural variations of Alaska’s ionosphere.” As well, admit the Pentagon, to develop new forms of communications and surveillance technologies to enable the military to send signals to nuclear submarines and to peer deep underground.


Ever since the existence of HAARP became public, a number of independent researchers have warned the operation has a secret agenda including weather modification, mind control, hi-tech military experiments, and the triggering of earthquakes. Alarmingly, HAARP technology appears well suited to enforce a host of the oppressive goals and agendas of the New World Order.


HAARP transmissions may also be used for the detection and monitoring of electromagnetic or “plasma” phenomena, precursors of seismic activity and tectonic movement. Researchers believe HAARP transmissions are actually being used to activate or trigger exactly the same electromagnetic conditions that can cause tectonic movement.


Jerry Smith in his book HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy warns many atmospheric scientists working on the secretive military project might be unaware of HAARP’s grave potential to wreak havoc on the earth. He writes:


If HAARP is a TMT [Tesla Magnifying Transmitter], and these researchers correctly understand Tesla’s work, we could be in a lot of trouble. It is quite possible that the scientists working on HAARP do not know that they are playing with… Beyond that their ignorance might be compounded if HAARP is indeed a secretive black-ops military project. The military has devised a way of keeping secrets called ‘compartmentalisation’ where each unit knows only what it needs to know… Only the control group knows what’s going on… If there is a control group familiar with TMTs directing the actions of scientists unschooled in Tesla technology, those lower level operatives could be directed to wreak havoc with created weather or manufactured earthquakes….


Vast Amounts of Energy


In 1966, Professor Gordon J. F. MacDonald was associate director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, a member of the US President’s Science Advisory Committee, and later a member of the US President’s Council on Environmental Quality.


He published papers on the use of environmental-control technologies for military purposes. MacDonald made a revealing comment: “The key to geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy. “


World-renowned scientist MacDonald developed ideas for using the environment as a weapon system and he contributed to what was, at the time, only in the wildest dream of a futurist. When he wrote his chapter, “How to Wreck the Environment,” for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In it he describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification, polar ice cap melting or destabilisation, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brain wave manipulation using the planet’s energy fields. He speculated these types of weapons would be developed and, when used, would be virtually undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP one such weapon?


In her book Planet Earth: the Latest Weapon of War, renowned scientist and nuclear activist Dr. Rosalie Bertell says such electromagnetic weapons “have the ability to transmit explosive and other effects such as earthquake induction across intercontinental distances to any selected target site on the globe with force levels equivalent to major nuclear explosions.”


Her book explains that pulsed, extremely low frequency (ELF) waves can be used to convey mechanical effects and vibrations at great distances through the Earth. Such manipulation of the Earth, she states, “has the capability to cause disturbance of volcanoes and tectonic plates, which in turn, have an effect on the weather,” creating storms and torrential rains over an area. Anyone notice the world’s weather has been very strange in recent months?


Beaching and Seismic Tests:


On November 28, 2004, Reuters reported that during a three day span, 169 whales and dolphins beached themselves in Tasmania, an island off the southern coast of mainland Australia. The cause for these beaching is not known, but Bob Brown, a senator in the Australian parliament, said “sound bombing” or seismic tests of ocean floors to test for oil and gas had been recently carried out near the sites of the Tasmanian beaching.


According to Jim Cummings of the Acoustic Ecology Institute, seismic surveys utilising airguns have been taking place in mineral-rich areas of the world’s oceans since 1968. Among the areas that have experienced the most intense survey activity are the North Sea, the Beaufort Sea (off Alaska’s North Slope), and the Gulf of Mexico; areas around Australia and South America are also current hotspots of activity.


The impulses created by the release of air from arrays of up to 24 airguns create low frequency sound waves powerful enough to penetrate up to 40km below the seafloor. The “source level” of these sound waves is generally over 200dB (and often 230dB or more), roughly comparable to a sound of at least 140-170dB in air.

According to the Australian Conservation Foundation, these 200dB – 230dB shots from the airguns are fired every 10 seconds or so, from 10 metres below the surface, 24 hours a day, for 2 week periods of time, weather permitting. These types of tests are known to affect whales and dolphins, whose acute hearing and use of sonar is very sensitive.


On December 24, 2004 there was a magnitude 8.1 earthquake more than 800 kilometres southeast of Tasmania near New Zealand, with a subsequent aftershock 6.1 a little later in the morning that same day.


Then on December 26 the magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck leading to the devastating tsunami that killed more than 300,000 people.


On December 27, 20 whales beached themselves 180 kilometres west of Hobart on the southern island state of Tasmania.


Interestingly, the locations of the whale beaching over the previous 30 days correlates with the same general area struck by the 8.1 Australian earthquake. The seismic testing also took place in the same area. Then two days after the Australian tectonic plate shifted, the 9.0 earthquake shook the coast of Indonesia.


There is strong evidence suggesting oil exploration activities have induced earthquakes in the past, although a link is yet to be established in this case.


A paper “Seismicity in the Oil Field” by Russian academics admits, “Scientists have observed that earthquakes can be triggered by human action…. Some geophysicists, including the authors of this article, believe that if the natural tectonic regime had been taken into account during the planning of hydrocarbon recovery, the earthquakes might have been avoided.”


This is a sobering admission when we consider that some geologists say the Australian quake was the likely trigger for the Indonesian quake.


Cohen’s Admission


In 1997 the US Secretary of Defence, William Cohen, delivered a speech on terrorism at the University of Georgia. Reuters quoted him as saying, “Precautions against unconventional arms must be intensified as potential terrorists develop chemical and biological weapons and electromagnetic methods that could create holes in the ozone layer or trigger earthquakes or volcanoes.”


Cohen’s admission reveals he has direct knowledge of such potential weapons. But it’s hard to conceive of “terrorists developing the capacity to “trigger earthquakes”. Hardly, when one considers the Pentagon’s HAARP project. A more likely explanation is that Cohen was warning against allowing such technology to spread to other countries.


Outback Mystery


The weapons used in World War III will make the atomic and hydrogen bombs look like toys. At present, the centerpiece of the Russian arsenal is called the star-reflector cannon. The United States has the Strategic Defence Initiative, and the extension of this is ‘micro plasma.’ — Shoko Asahara, 19 April, 1993, leader of Aum Shinrikyo


A mysterious incident in the outback of Western Australia, reported in New Dawn No. 41 (March-April 1997), directly relates to the subject of man-made earthquakes.

Late on the evening of May 28, 1993, something radiated shock waves outward across hundreds of miles of scrub and desert. Around the same time, truck drivers crossing the region and gold prospectors camping nearby saw the dark sky illuminated by bright flashes, and they as well as other people heard the distant rumble of loud explosions.


The mysterious event might have been lost to history except for the interest of investigators in Australia and the United States, who eventually came to speculate if the upheaval was the work of the Japanese Aum Shinrikyo group accused of the poison-gas attack on Tokyo subways in 1995. At the time Aum had set up an advanced laboratory on a 500,000-acre property near the puzzling upheaval.


The disturbance shook the earth on May 28, 1993, but it was not until after the Tokyo attack of March 1995, that an Australian geologist, Harry Mason, brought the seismic upset to the attention of Australian Federal Police and later to US investigators.


Seismic observatories in Australia tracked the event to location 28.47 degrees south latitude, 121.73 degrees east longitude, a remote area near the group’s property.

Mason’s 19-page report summarised interviews he had conducted with people who were in the remote area on that clear moonless night. They saw the sky ablaze, heard loud explosions and felt the ground shake, in one case knocking beer cans off a table. Mason noted that earthquakes were very rare in the region and that mining explosions were illegal at night.


Mason now believed the explosion was caused by “a very advanced electromagnetic weapons system.” He also thinks that the red dome witnessed on the night of 28 May, 1993 was a Tesla Shield, a device that theoretically can disable nuclear weapons


.Eventually, the US-based Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) calculated the event was 170 times bigger than the largest mining explosion ever recorded in the Australian region, thus ruling out that possibility. The disturbance was calculated as having the force of a small nuclear explosion, perhaps equal to up to 2,000 tons of high explosives. But the signature of the disturbance seemed to be more that of an earthquake than a nuclear explosion.


No mention of the seismic riddle was made in well-publicised hearings the US Senator Nunn ran in late 1995 on Aum Shinrikyo. On 15 December, 1995, Nunn wrote to IRIS, stating that their scientific work helped Senate investigators “rule out certain terrorist activities.”


Still, one remote possibility remained. Aum Shinrikyo had apparently studied seismic warfare and the means of artificially triggering earthquakes.


The group apparently sent a party of its own top scientists to the former Yugoslavia to study the work of Nicola Tesla. At the Tesla Museum in Belgrade, the members reviewed Tesla’s thesis and other research papers discussing such weapons.

In New Dawn No. 39, a report on the work of Aum Shinrikyo Science and Technology Minister, Hideo Murai, revealed that the group was interested in advanced weapons, including “laser-powered seismic weapons.” On 7 April, 1995 Murai responded in a press conference to a question about a rumoured ‘earthquake machine’. He remarked there was a strong possibility the Kobe earthquake was activated using “electromagnetic power,” or that somebody used a device that “applied force inside the earth.”


Shortly after this press conference, a lone assassin stabbed Hideo Murai to death in full view of the Japanese media. Was Murai murdered to silence him? He was one of Aum’s most visible figures with fluent English and a pleasant demeanour that made him an international spokesman.


An Aum Shinrikyo book, Disaster Approaches the Land of the Rising Sun, devotes considerable space on how to guard against radiation, electromagnetic pulses, biological and chemical weapons, as well as more exotic laser, microwave and plasma weaponry.


It can be assumed the Aum Shinrikyo group actively researched and even possibly tested advanced weapons from a defensive point of view. Aum leaders were convinced the United States had already used such weapons against their personnel and property, and this may have driven the group’s leaders into a paranoid frame of mind.


Future War

Often we are told technological research in the military field is ten or more years ahead of what we see today. Frightening and controversial projects like HAARP, with applications ranging from


super beam weapon to worldwide mind control, should be of great concern to us all. And most worrying is mounting evidence that the US military now has the ability to create earthquakes – the ultimate weapon of war.


Could the recent earthquakes in Turkey, Taiwan, Greece, Mexico and Haiti be experimental test runs? If so, how many more earthquakes will it take before this technology can be directed at a chosen ‘enemy’? It’s a disturbing thought and one we all should consider as the forces of the New World Order gather pace in their quest for global control.


Haiti’s Dispensation


Was the earthquake of January 12 man-made or the result of natural forces? Saturday, 16 January 2010 08:44 Haiti handed the US control of its main airport to bring order in the skies to aid flights from around the world and speed relief efforts, the Obama administration has said. US State Department spokesman PJ Crowley said Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Belle rive signed a memorandum of understanding formally transferring operations at Toussaint L'Ouverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince. 'Obviously we will assume this responsibility as long as it's appropriate and to the point where the Haitian government is able and ready to resume that capability,' Mr Crowley said. It is absolutely clear from Mr. Crowley’s statement that the decision to hand over control of the airport back to the Haitian Government lies with the US. As a matter of fact it was the Americans who had asked that they take full control of the airport. Why would they really want to do this? Wouldn’t it have been politically safe for the Haitian Government to retain control and utilise such aid from the Americans as would bring ease and control? For all intent and purposes I see this as an attempt to control what comes in and what goes out? Or is it that the American administration has a different purpose for Haiti of which she knows nothing about? Whatever the intention one thing is certain never was Haiti more vulnerable than she is now.


Signs of the Times?


Whether or not the earthquake of January 12 was man-made or the result of natural forces? There are many who believe such events are part of a cyclic period of earth changes. Strange weather patterns, an increase in earthquake activity, and natural disasters across the planet, are anticipated at the end of major world cycles.


Christians often call attention to the Gospel account where Jesus says a sign of the end of the world age would be “earthquakes in diverse places” (Matthew 24:7). Many believe this verse refers to the times in which we live.


In traditional Hindu cosmology, we are now nearing the end of the Kali Yuga which is the final and most negative of four evolutionary cycles which are Satya Yuga (Golden Age), Treta Yuga (Silver Age), Dwapara Yuga (Bronze Age), and Kali Yuga (Iron Age).


Similarly, the ancient Greeks traced the lineage of mankind through five successive “ages” or “races” from the “Golden Age” to the present “Iron Age.”


The Visuddhimagga, a compendium of Theravada Buddhist philosophy, gives further details about the recurring cycles that destroy mankind and cleanse the Earth. The text relates there are 64 world destruction cycles in which the world perishes seven times by fire, and an eighth time by water. This cycle of eight destructions repeats itself seven times, and then at the end of the eighth cycle the final destruction is by wind rather than water. Then the cycle of 64 begins anew.


Islamic Prophetic traditions’ contends that "The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine, (2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Apostle, (3) till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious scholars) (4) EARTHQUAKEs will increase in number (5) time will pass quickly, (6) afflictions will appear, (7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase, (8) till wealth will be in abundance... so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat, and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it, (9) till the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings, (10) till a man when passing by a grave of someone will say, 'Would that I were in his place (11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it."


Man’s most ancient traditions tell us these cycles reflect the creative process of the cosmos. The memories of a lost ‘Golden Age’, found in all earthly cultures, point to a time in the distant past when harmony and balance prevailed. This harmony is upset during the Iron Age, which is prophesied to end amid a proliferation of inverted spiritual values and rampant materialism, accompanied by devastating natural disturbances.


Act of man or act of nature, the past earthquake and tsunami may indeed be another ‘sign of the times’ signalling the last days of the present world order. We do well to recall the words of the gifted French esotericist Rene Guenon:


This end only appears to be the “end of the world,” without any reservation or specification of any kind, to those who see nothing beyond the limits of this particular cycle;… the end now under consideration is undeniably of considerably greater importance than many other, for it is the end of a whole Manvantara [world age]… this end will itself immediately become the beginning of another Manvantara... if one does not stop short of the most profound order of reality, it can be said in all truth the “end of a world” never is and never can be anything but the end of an illusion.

Cover Letter to Paula Gopee-Scoon; Minister of Foreign Affairs Trinidad and Tobago

Peace and Guidance Madam Minister;



Attached is a letter I sent to the Ambassador of the French Republic to Trinidad and Tobago. It concerns the recommendation by the French President and his administration to partially ban the wearing of veils that cover the face - including the Burqa.


This issue is of great importance not only to my organisation but to
all Muslims in this Twin Island State of ours. What ever affects
Muslims in France, affects us here as well. If these issues with the
French is not addressed, it will inevitably negitively impact on you
and your office and by extension your government. PLEASE be advised I am prepared to do what ever it takes to properly deal with these matters. I view this as tantamount to a physical attack on my Muslim Sisters.


Madam Minister... I am open for dialog on these and other issues that affect us Muslims here in Trinidad and Tobago. You can contact me through the following Numbers: 787-0765/365-6253 or email me at waajihatulislaamiyyah@gmail.com. Please don't allow this opportunity to pass you by. Thank You.

Letter To His Excellency, the Ambassador of the French Republic to Trinidad and Tobago.

29 January 2010



Re: His Excellency, the Ambassador of the French Republic to Trinidad and Tobago.




Dear Honourable Ambassador;


In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.


“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyûbihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.” (Quran 24:31).


If ever you want to destroy a people, you first take away their culture and their way of life.


The recommendation by your President and his administration to partially ban the wearing of veils that cover the face - including the Burqa - came as no surprise for we are told by our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) “that a time would come when the whole world would gather around to plan the destruction of the Muslims as if they were gathered around a table to take part in a meal".


It is evidently clear that the President of France and the entire democratic world is bent on destroying Islam and Muslims. It appears as though when the Caliph al-Mu'tasim commanded and deployed a massive army to retaliate against the Romans who at the time invaded Malatya, in honour of a Muslim sister who cried out "Wa Mo'atasimah" which translates to "O Mu'tasim", after being captured and unveiled by the Romans has not taught the democratic world any lesson when it comes to our Muslim Sisters... or has your Prime Minister forgotten where in the 1700s an RC Bishop banned the eating of potatoes calling it food of the soulless infidels - potatoes which were being imported at that time from the Andes in Peru . The Bishop's order lead to widespread starvation and eventually the French Revolution.


The actions of your President will inevitably set a precedent for the whole of the democratic world, simultaneously throwing open the doors of compromise to those Muslim Brothers and Sisters who are not prepared to stand firm on this issue. This would however weaken our resolve and so would lead to the eventual striping of all our religious practices.


I am yet to see the rationale behind your President’s thinking compounded with the fact that France already has a law against Muslim girls wearing headscarves in state schools.


Sarkozy said the issue is one of a woman's freedom and dignity, and did not have to do with religion; Woman’s freedom and dignity? By whose standard? Surely he is not speaking on behalf of the Muslims?


People all over the world and even in France are allowed to practice their culture even if these cultures negatively affect society. What’s wrong or rather what negative effect do these women have on society? Which by the way forces us to wonder why a partial ban? Wouldn’t your society be exposed to the same ‘perceived threat’ on the streets and other public places? Or is it that Sarkozy is just testing the waters to see the response of the Muslim world in determining how far he can take this?


Your President have done nothing more than fan the flames of discord between the Muslims and the Democratic world.


Our message to your President is: you may ban the wearing of the veils that cover the face - including the Burqa and even destroy all the Quran in the world but he will never be able to destroy the pure heart of a believer.


He that fuels us is Allah through the Quran and the way of our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). This course of action will serve your President no good as he would seek to harm none other than his own citizens and his country.


Honourable Ambassador you have a responsibility to communicate our concerns to your President. Your Embassy is a reflection and a pure representative of your country and by extension a representative of the views of your President and his administration. What affects my Muslim Brothers and Sisters there in France would affect us Muslims here as well. Consequently, in answering the cries of our Muslim Sisters, our first line of communication would obviously be you and neither I nor my organisation is prepared to stand down until you address our concerns on behalf of your government.


I would wish at this time you address the Muslim community of this Twin Island State of ours and thoroughly explain your government’s position on Islam and Muslims as it relates to France. Let us know where you stand on this issue as this would obviously affect our relationship. Should we see this as an error on the part of your Prime Minister and a total misrepresentation of your views? Or is this really a declaration of war against Islam and Muslims by your country?


Yours respectfully,
Umar Abdullah

The Forgotten Nation and the Price People Pay to Be Recognized.

The Forgotten Nation and the Price People Pay to Be Recognized.

"Remember those walls I built well, baby they're tumbling down and they didn't even put up a fight, they didn't even make a sound" ...Beyonce Knowles, Halo


The worst earthquake to hit Haiti in over 200 years, measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale rocked the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday. This no doubt brings back memories of its difficult past. January 12 has been in the past able to attract the attention of the world on conditions within Haiti but never was this attention able to


impress upon the world the wanton suffering and total disregard to the human plight of basic necessities such as food, water, clothing, shelter, education and self governance - at least up until now.


For far too long the world has turned a blind eye to Haiti and now we see the hypocrisy of these nations coming forward to help. What wrong has Haiti done? One would ask; probably it is the sins of the people, the turning away from God's way (and by this I mean major sins); associating partners with God and punishable by an act such as this or a warning offering respite to those who would take heed, or could it be a trial and test for all of us to see how much we are willing to sacrifice for our ‘brothers and sisters’. However, most important is the fact that the world would once more focus its attention on this impoverished nation... a nation that has given so much to the world but which has received so little in return.


Haiti, having put Chicago, Illinois on the map and securing victory to the American colonial troops against the British in the Siege of Savannah was one of the most significant foreign contributions to the American Revolutionary War. In addition they were also instrumental in Latin America's struggle for independence from Spain, by offering military and financial assistance to Simon Bolivar, which were critical in enabling him to liberate New Granada (now Colombia), Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama and Peru. Also much appreciation must be given to Haiti's Diaspora which had made vital contributions to the establishment of Africa’s university professors, medical doctors, administrators and development specialists.


It’s very unfair to see Haiti suffer like this today. The best day in Haiti is like Katrina in America. So why has the world turned its back on Haiti? Is it that there is no material wealth in Haiti? – No oil, gas, gold or diamond? Or is it that she has outlived her purpose? Now that all whom she has helped as moved on, which nation in the world can even come close to her contribution to the political landscape that exists today?


Haiti’s contribution to the world came on the heels of years of transgression perpetrated against her by France and a 90 million gold Francs payout to same oppressor to recognize her independence, an amount equivalent to 21 billion U.S. dollars which must be repaid as restitution to Haiti. Would France now come forward and admit her guilt and repay the 21 billion dollars owed to Haiti? And apologise to her for the transgression perpetrated against her, or would the world stand still and see this injustice go unabated?


Another disparity was when Barack Obama pledged 30 billion dollars to the rough state of Israel over the next ten years in addition to over 3 Billion dollars in accessible loans. What has Israel ever done for this world? What have they ever done for America? Other than to help maim and destroy. They have committed more acts of terrorism against America than any other nation on the planet. America is aiding Israel with billions of dollars to kill innocent human beings; men, women, and children and to compound the injustice they are spending billions to fight two unjust wars killing innocent men, women and children, while they would stand by and do nothing and spend nothing in comparison to save one child in Haiti.


The world stands by and does nothing; that is the hypocrisy. They help now only out of shame and after all is forgotten, they will all return to their same old ways.


Also note worthy is the way we Trinbagonians behave. A lot is being said about how much we feel for our ‘brothers and sisters’ and how much we love them. Our prayers go out to the earthquake victims. What would be nice is if we can translate all that love into action; and instead of putting taxpayers' billions into frivolous and fraudulent enterprises, invest our wealth into a nation's health.


"Now s the time for each nation to make its 'halo' visible."

Corpse Flower?

The Scent of Death and the Beauty of Life all locked into one...

Weighing the Two Evils

Weighing the Two Evils

‘Life’s a stage’ – At least that’s what some believe – and even if that’s not true what is certain is that we are always before an audience, apart from God Almighty, someone is always watching... and what great performance we put on sometimes! This is especially so when situations are presented to us which inevitably reveals our strengths and weaknesses. A startling revelation of how gullible a people we have become.


TSTT is presenting ‘singing sensation’ Beyonce Knowles on a silver platter to this country and one would think she – as was the case with other artist - would have been received with open arms, but on the contrary this is not so. There has been mounting criticism from all corners levelled against TSTT for bringing the ‘international superstar’. Early objections came from the Communication Workers Union who at the moment is engaged in negotiations for better pay packages. Also expressing great concern


are the country’s’ promoters and entertainers, citing it as an insult to the various artforms, especially since TSTT took the decision not to sponsor some Carnival shows. Of course, there are those from amongst the general public who believe this is totally unacceptable and surely there are those who would stop at nothing to get a glimpse of the diva, as was evident on the opening day sale of tickets where all VVIP tickets priced at $1600.00 were sold out.


Now what exactly is the big deal? I think we will would all agree, that if a company other than TSTT was responsible for bringing this “international icon” these very same Communication Workers would have been scrambling for tickets and it would not have mattered to them weather 10 million was spent or 30 million. To add to the joke, these very same workers would either stay away from work or go into relax mode for Carnival thus causing a decrease in production, losing thousands of dollars in revenue. These very same workers would spend hundreds of dollars on Carnival tickets and alcohol and possibly drugs. It forces one to ask what positive use they would have put their money to if they had received that increase. Of course, when it comes to the promoters and entertainers it’s a totally different fight, but is it a fight for the art form or a fight for the hefty returns. Why is it only around Carnival time there is all this hullabaloo surrounding promoters and entertainers? Why not all year through? It is a well known fact that foreign content dominates the airwaves in this country, so why not make a fuss about this throughout the year? I guess the real big question here is who is insulting who?


To those who think that spending 10 to 30 million dollars to have a semi-nude woman entertain us is immoral and a total waste of time and money, hats off to you; but wait... are you not the same group of people in company of your children who would line the streets for Carnival and glue yourself to the television set to be immorally entertained?


Is it not a well known fact that Trinidad and Tobago Carnival is one of the worst immoral shows on earth; it attracts the most amount of drugs and lewd acts; spiralling the spread of communicable diseases and unwanted babies? It really amazes me how we think sometimes.


Now for the ones who think its ok; you are part of the reason why this country is in the mess it is today. You turn a blind eye to what would potentially affect us in the future. You eat, drink and merry yourselves at the expense of the less fortunate and vulnerable in society. You think a demoralized society is cool. What is so cool about a woman thinking the only way she can get people like you to appreciate her is to deliver her message in a semi-nude state? How sick can we ever become? Where is the voice of the women liberalising movement? It is clear by these accounts neither the coming of Beyonce nor Carnival would benefit our twin island state but would rather bankrupt our already dwindling sense of morality. Whatever good therein would be overpowered and drowned by evil. This is not a question of which is the lesser of the two evils but a question of what is right and wrong, what pleases God Almighty and what doesn’t. This type of negative behaviour breeds contempt of God's Law, which is an indication of how gullible our society have become; sick and unaware of the consequences... in reality, the natural course of our actions.
