Taliban-Trained Bengali-Muslim RSO Terrorists Captured

(Partly based on Newsarticles direct from Bangla News 24 on January 20, 2014.)

Taliban-trained three RSO-terrorists captured in Dhaka.

Three RSO’s Bengali-Muslim bomb-makers trained by Pakistani Taliban to terrorize Buddhists in Burma were caught by Bangladeshi Police’s Anti-Terrorism detectives in Dhaka, Bangladesh at about 10 pm on January-19. The three Bengali-Muslim terrorists were on their way to Teknaf on Burma-Bangladesh border.

Osman(23), Mehmud(26), and Fakhrul Hasan(50) were originally the RSO’s Bengali-Muslim militants from the border and they have been fighting as foreign fighters for Osama Bin-laden’s Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan last three years after receiving intensive military training from the Pakistani Taliban on Pakistan-Afghanistan border in 2011.

The group leader known only as Osman is one of the younger brothers of Bandan Idri the Treasurer of Bangladesh-based RSO (Rohingya Solidarity Organization) terrorist group responsible for January-13 murder of Burmese Police Sergeant Aung Kyaw Thein in now internationally-famous Duu-chi-yar-dan Bengali-Muslim Village in Maungdaw.

Christmas Island in Australia.

MORE than 1000 failed asylum seekers who have had their claims rejected but are still in Australia have been put on notice, with the Abbott government threatening to put them into detention and deport them if they refuse to return home voluntarily.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison last night said the people in community detention or in detention centres had failed in their claims - some multiple times including judicial reviews - and had no right to be in Australia any more.

More than 30,000 asylum seekers are living on the Australian mainland after the masses of boat arrivals under the previous Labor government - residing in community detention and receiving welfare benefits paid for by taxpayers or in detention centres at a cost to taxpayers.

Mr Morrison said more than 1000 of these people had been "sitting in the network and in the community after having their claims rejected".

Two American Anti-Islam Warriors Touring Australia

(News article direct from The Herald Sun on January 27,2014.)

Pamela Geller: The anti-Islam warrior.

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer of Stop Islamisation of Nations (SION) are set to speak here. Two American anti-Islam activists who were banned from entering Britain are due to speak at a Melbourne conference in March.

The Q Society, which brought out Dutch anti-Islamic MP Geert Wilders to Australia last year, has organised the event with the international group Stop Islamisation of Nations (SION).

The location of the first International Symposium on Liberty and Islam in Australia will not be disclosed after violent protests were staged when Mr Wilders appeared in Melbourne last year.

Organisers say only that venues will be in the inner city, with a visit to a pub and a cocktail reception at a waterside location on the agenda. Speakers include SION leaders Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer from the US.

Evidence Of Muslims Butchering Burmese Police Sergeant

(Police-Photographs direct from NEW MYANMAR NEWS on Jan 29, 2014.)

Police Sergeant Aung Kyaw
Thein (missing presumed
killed by Bengali-Muslims).

Followings are the eleven photographs of water-tight criminal evidence collected at the scene of the brutal mob-slaying of Burmese Security-Police Sergeant Aung Kyaw Thein by the Bengali-Muslim men of Duchiyardan Bengali-Muslim Village in Maungdaw South.

While the whole Buddhist nation of Burma has been mourning the tragic and heroic death of our Police Sergeant Aung Kyaw Thein a native Yakhine-Buddhist in the criminal hands of rioting Duchiyardan Bengali-Muslims the Saudi-funded and OIC-sponsored Bengali-Muslim network all over the world has gone into the overdrive shamelessly turning the whole Bengali-Muslim terrorist attack on the Burmese police patrol in the dark night of January-13 into so-called Yakhin-Buddhists’ slaughter of Bengali-Muslim women and children.

Unbelievable thing is that the whole consortium of pro-Muslim and so-easily-gullible UN, OIC, US, and UK have also gone into the overdrive pressuring Burma to allow their so-called International investigators to probe into the unfortunate Duchiyardan incident basing on the baseless lies coming out of Bengali-Muslims’ collective mouth.

UN Preparing Burma Absorb Sinking Bangladesh’s Millions

(Partly basing on the article from The INDIA AMERICA TODAY on July 12, 2012.)

President Thein Sein Met UNSG Ban Ki-Moon.

The completely-biased and one-sided ways the UN, OIC, US, UK, and other Powers-to-be of the so-called New World Order are constantly pressuring Burma for the better treatment of at least a million Bengali-Muslim illegal immigrants on the Bangladeshi border are quite baffling for most Burmese especially the Buddhists.

But for me the reason is quiet clear from the very beginning. All these super-powers of our world have been patiently and quietly preparing Burma to absorb the millions and millions of displaced Muslims from slowly-sinking Bangladesh.

For them UN and OIC and US, especially the OIC, the 60 million Buddhists in Burma are to be sacrificed for the welfare of 180 million Muslims from Bangladesh which is slowly sinking and by the year 2050 she will not be a viable nation no more, period.

Fake-Rohingya-Bangladeshis Caught In Teknaf Again

(Translation of news article direct from NARINJARA NEWS on Jan 25, 2014.)

A boat caught ferrying Bangladeshi illegal immigrants
to waiting fishing boat taking them to Malaysia.

Fifty-seven Bangladeshi nationals who were on their way to be smuggled across the Indian Ocean to Malaysia as so-called persecuted Rohingyas from Burma’s Arakan were arrested at the Bangladeshi border town Teknaf before they were able to board their human-trafficking boat.

Seventeen of the fifty-seven Bangladeshis arrested were from the town of Norchaindi, thirteen were from Narayangarni, seven from Jessore, four each from Bogunar and Borrachi, three each from Borgura and Chiragong, and two each were from the towns of Chakira, Mahapur, and Corchira.

All 57 Bangladeshi-Muslims preparing to be smuggled by traffickers into Malysia as Rohingyas by a fishing boat via seaways were captured in Teknaf’s Korsunia Ward by the agents of Bangladeshi Customs at about 5 pm on January 24.

Short History Of So-called Rohingyas aka Bengali-Muslims

(Translation of Thaung Kwyel’s article from CORAL ARAKAN NEWS on Jan 26, 2014.)

Cartoon published in January 1953.

The cartoon on left published 60 years ago this month in the “Yakhine Tanzaung Magazine” (1953 January) accurately depicted in just one-page-panel the unimaginable sufferings of native Yakhine-Buddhists in Maungdaw and Butheedaung Townships back in the 1950s.

While native Yakhine-Buddhists were lying dead at the stomping feet of laughing Mujahid Giant -- in his hand was a terrified Yakhine girl going to be devoured -- and while Yakhine-Buddhist families were fleeing from their ancestral homes in their villages being burned down by Bengali-Muslims coming from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), Burma's then Prime Minister U Nu (a so-called devout Buddhist) was peacefully and comfortably meditating in Rangoon under the protection of armed soldiers who wouldn’t lift a finger to help his fellow Yakhine-Buddhists greatly suffering under Bengali-Muslims’ genocidal assaults.

That single comical and cartoonish illustration from more than 60 years ago still accurately reflects what has been still going on right now in our Arakan.

Bengali-Muslims Slaughtered Burmese Police In Maungdaw

(Translation of sad Bog Post from The New Myanmar News on January 20, 2014.)

Sergeant Aung Kyaw Thein
(Missing, presumed dead)

“Hey, what’re you men doing there?”  Yelled suddenly Burmese police sergeant Aung Kyaw Thein at a group of about 20 Bengali-Muslims just ahead as the slowly walking police patrol nearly ran into them in the dark.

Time was about 10 in the night. In his torchlight beam were a group of Bengali-Muslim men suspiciously waiting in the dark. His loud yell had apparently startled the Bengali-Muslim illegals commonly found in this lawless part of Arakan in Western Burma.

Sergeant Aung Kyaw thein and his 4-men Security-Police patrol together with 4 civilian village-administrative officials were doing their regular round to maintain law and order in the troubled border region. At that moment they were right inside the wholly Bengali-Muslim village called Duu-chi-yar-dan. Date was 13 January 2014.

Steepening Yield Curve Of US Bonds: What Does It Mean?

(Matthew Krupski’s article and chart direct from The Barchart.com onJanuary 24, 2014.)

Recently, there has been a renewed focus on the yield curve and its implications for future economic growth.  Analyzing the movements in the curve can provide investors with insights into economic forecasts and trading opportunities across multiple markets.

The US Treasury Yield Curve is simply a graph of different treasury instruments and their respective yields, with their time until maturity on the horizontal axis, and their yield on the vertical axis. 

In a typical yield curve, longer termed instruments have higher interest rates.  This makes sense on an intuitive level: investors demand more interest for locking up their money over longer time periods, in order to compensate them for opportunities missed during that extra time.

Baby Eels Fetching US$ 2,000 A Mere Pound In USA

(News article and photos direct from The Reuters and other sites on January 10, 2014.)

Up to 4-ft long adult eels in a Korean eel farm.

Eel Farming in Korea: Eel is the most important freshwater fish culturing in Korea. Eel culture in Korea began approximately 25 years ago (1968). In the beginning, the main purpose of eel culture was to produce seed fish or fingering size from elvers collected in rivers.

These were exported to Japan and Taiwan for further rearing. The main cultured species is Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica. The exact position of the spawning area of this species is still unknown, though it has been established it lies somewhere south of Taiwan.

With rapid and very profitable development of industry, the domestic demand for edible eels has grown significantly, the eel culture has grown in Korea not only for seeds but also the marketable size product.

Beheadings, Bombings, and New York’s Little Bangladesh

(Daniel Greenfield’s article from The FRONTPAGE MAG on January 16, 2014.)

Mohammed Siddiquee the Bnegali-Muslim beheader.

Walk along Church Avenue and turn east onto McDonald Avenue and you will see where the old standards of working class Brooklyn, aging homes with faded American flags and loose siding, surly bars tucked into the shadows of street corners and the last video stores hanging on to a dying industry give way to mosques and grocery stores selling goat meat.

Mosques grow like mushrooms in basements, cell phone stores offer easy ways to wire money back to Bangladesh and old men glare at interlopers, especially if they are infidel women.

This is where Mohammed Siddiquee settled a dispute the old-fashioned way by beheading his landlord.

Mohammed wasn’t the first man in Brooklyn to use violence to settle a rental dispute, but beheadings are more traditional in his native Bangladesh than in Brooklyn, though over in neighboring Queens, Ashrafuzzaman Khan, Bangladesh’s most wanted war criminal, heads up the local Islamic Circle of North America, whose Islamist thugs beheaded poets and buried professors in mass graves.

Muslims Raped & Killed British Girls and Put Into Kebabs

(News article and photos direct from The Daily Mail UK on January 14, 2014.)

Mother of murdered girl put into kebabs runs from court after gruesome testimony. A mother ran from court today as she heard how her daughter was strangled before being chopped up.

Iyad Albattikhi, 29, (a Jordanian Muslim immigrant) known as Eddie, had sex with 14-year-old Charlene Downes, before killing her and joking her body had been put into the kebabs at his shop on Blackpool Promenade, Preston Crown Court has heard.

Mr Cassidy, 40, who ran an amusement arcade in the town, told the jury Tariq Albattikhi had rowed with his brother and, upset and in tears, told him about how the schoolgirl had been killed.

"He was crying," Mr Cassidy said. "He said there was a lot of blood. I was only getting a bit of the conversation through the tears. He told me that she was strangled."

Welfare-Muslims Produce One In Ten Babies In UK

(Douglas Murray’s OP-ED direct from The SPECTATOR UK on January 10, 2014.)

There are certain things in Britain about which it is impossible to speak frankly. The birth rate of the Muslim population is a prime subject.

Today’s Times has a lovely example of positive spin.  The headline is: ‘Rise in Muslim birth rate as families ‘feel British’. The story which gives rise to this headline is that: ‘Almost a tenth of babies and toddlers in England and Wales are Muslim, a breakdown of census figures shows.

‘The percentage of Muslims among the under-fives is almost twice as high as in the general population. In an indication of the extent to which birth rate is changing the UK’s religious demographic, fewer than one in 200 people over 85 is Muslim.

(News article and photos direct from The China-Defense Blog on January 10, 2014.)

Two Chinese frigates decommissioned and sold to Bangladesh.

Two decommissioned Frigates of Chinese Navy (PLA-N) the FFG 535 Huangshi and 536 Wuhu received their new Bangladeshi navy pennant numbers of F15 and F17 just recently.

Bangladesh's prime minister is fighting for the country's democratic life -- and no one in the West seems interested. A clash of civilizations is unfolding in Muslim Bangladesh, where the forces of radical jihadi Islamism are trying to topple a liberal democracy, and no one in the West seems interested.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ruling Awami League have accomplished something of which no other Muslim leader in any Islamic country could dream. She fought a courageous battle against jihadi Islamism by strengthening secular democracy in the country’s constitution and barring religious parties from using Islam as a political tool.

Australian Navy Turning Muslim-Boats Back To Indonesia

(News article and photos direct from The WORLD SOCIALIST on January 10, 2014.)

An Australian Naval boat watching over a Muslim-boat.

Over the past month, the Australian navy has forced or towed at least two asylum seeker vessels back to Indonesia under the Abbott government’s so-called “turn back the boats” program. These highly dangerous operations, which could have led to the loss of lives, have also heightened tensions with the Indonesian government, which has publicly opposed the practice.

The policy was introduced last September by Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s government after an election in which his Liberal-National Coalition sought to outdo the Labor Party in a bipartisan bidding war to adopt the most draconian anti-refugee policy. Both parties declared their determination to “stop the boats,” effectively tearing up the international Refugee Convention, which recognises a basic right to flee persecution.

Russian Kamov Choppers For Frigate Kyansitthar (F-12)

(This post is partly based on news articles from Myanmar Military on December 8, 2013.)

Kamov Ka-27 Anti-Sub Warfare Helicopter.

According to unidentified Navy insiders Russian Navy’s standard anti-sub-warfare chopper Kamov Ka-27 is now confirmed by Burma Navy as the main naval helicopter for nearly-finished stealth frigate Kyansithar (F-12).

The attractively-discounted deal to purchase some billion dollars worth of military hardware including a number of Kamov Ka-27 choppers from Russia was signed and sealed in 2013 June when Burma Army Chief Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing and his delegation of senior armed-forces officers visited Russia.

Kamov Ka-27 chopper popularly known as NATO’s name Helix looks like a huge dung-beetle with two coaxial-rotors stacked together on top. It was developed in 1973 and is being used since 1988 till today in Russia, China, India, Ukraine, Vietnam, South Korea, and Algeria as combat military choppers.

Australian Navy Forcing Muslim-Boats Back To Indonesia

(News article and photos direct from The Daily Telegraph & BNI on January 7, 2014.)

In order to save his beloved Australia from Muslim invasion
our PM Tony Abbott has chucked the Political Correctness
out of the window and pushed the Muslim-boats back.

Tony Abbott, Australia's prime minister, has deployed the navy to force back boats carrying asylum seekers from Indonesian waters for the first time, leaving the boats to run aground on a remote island.

Indonesian sources said two boats carrying groups of about 45 Middle Eastern and North African asylum seekers (all Muslims) were "pushed" back into Indonesian territory by the Australian navy.

Mr Abbott, elected last year after running on a hard-line pledge to "stop the boats", would not confirm the incidents. The move could further strain relations with Indonesia, which have been damaged in recent weeks by revelations that Australian spies targeted Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Indonesian president, and his wife.

Bangladeshi war-criminal Ashrafuzzaman
Khan now hiding in New York City.

About 30 Bangladeshis protested on December 22 outside the headquarters of the Islamic Circle of North America in New York. The demonstrators are demanding the deportation of a former senior ICNA official that has been indicted in Bangladesh for war crimes.

The protest was organized by the New York chapter of Ekatturer Ghatak Dalai Nirmul Committee. It was founded in 1992 by the late Jananara Imam, a progressive female Muslim seeking justice for atrocities committed during the Bangladesh Liberation War with Pakistan.

ICNA, meanwhile, is mobilizing to convince the U.S. government to demand that Bangladesh stop prosecuting leaders of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami group for war crimes. Uncoincidentally, ICNA is a derivative of Jamaat-e-Islami.

Border Bengali-Muslims Displaced By Buddhist Refugees

(Translated article direct from the Rohingya Blogger on November29, 2013.)

Buddhist refugees from Bangladesh.

Maungdaw -- Sixteen families of sixty-six Ethnic Yakhine-Buddhists fleeing the ongoing Islamic genocide in Bangladesh has crossed the border into Burma on December-28 2013. They are now being resettled on the land confiscated from the illegal Bengali-Muslims in Taung-pyo-let-wel Sub-township of Maungdaw Township.

The Border Region Ethnic Affairs Department (Na-ta-la) under Burma’s Border Affairs Ministry has a special state policy to welcome and resettle the Bangladeshi-Buddhists who are mostly ethnic Yakhines and Burmese with blood relatives in the Arakan of Burma.

Na-ta-la has been generously providing the Buddhist refugees from Bangladesh with two-storied houses, wells, water pumps, acres of paddy land, foodstuff, and essential consumer products. The Buddhist refugees have also been given three year temporary resident visas with a promise that they will be given permanent residency after three years if they are of good characters and actively cooperate with local authorities in driving the Bengali-Muslims back into Bangladesh.

SS-26 Iskander Cruise Missiles For Burma Army?

(Part of this post is based on reports from Myanmar Military site on December 20, 2013.)

According to unconfirmed confidential reports Burmese Army has recently established a new missile command aptly named “Missile Strategic and Defense Command” equipped with short and mid-range surface-to-air missile systems including the famed guided-ballistic or cruise missiles the Russian-made SS-26 Iskander short-range missiles.

The SS-26 Iskander missiles were primarily developed to counter the US-made Patriot anti-missile missiles which devastated Russian made SCUD Iraqi missiles in the 1991 Gulf War between US-led alliance and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

Russian Army once used their SS-26 Iskander missiles on enemy Georgian positions during the Ossetia War between Russia and Georgia in August 2008. In a devastating attack on a Georgian tank battalion Georgia claimed that despite the heavy air-cover from Georgian Air Force a single Russian SS_26 Iskander missile strike had destroyed 28 Georgian T-72 tanks and killed nearly 100 troops in one enormous explosion.

According to Burma’s Commerce and Consumer Affairs Department the cross-border trade with her neighbour nations through official border trading points has reached more than US$ 3 billion in the period from April-1 to December-6, which is just over a half of this 2013-2014 financial year.

Australian Auto Industry on The Brink of Collapse

(News article and photos direct from Yahoo! Seven News on December11, 2013.)

Holden exit imperils entire industry: Australia's entire car manufacturing industry could be on the brink of collapse following Holden's decision to quit local production.

General Motors says Holden will cease building cars in Australia by the end of 2017, with the loss of 2900 jobs at its assembly operations in Adelaide and its engine and engineering plants in Melbourne.

The decision follows Ford's move to end local production by 2016 and could force a similar exit by Toyota, which says there is now "unprecedented" pressure on its own operations. It will also affect component suppliers and other support industries across the country, with the potential to result in the loss of 40,000 jobs or more.
