Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk from the Linh-Mu Pagoda in Hue, Vietnam, burned himself to death at a busy intersection in downtown Saigon, Vietnam on 11 June 1963. 

Eye witness accounts state that Thich Quang Duc and at least two fellow monks arrived at the intersection by car, Thich Quang Duc got out of the car, assumed the traditional lotus position and the accompanying monks helped him pour gasoline over himself. He ignited the gasoline by lighting a match and burned to death in a matter of minutes.

“They were like happy, you know …They didn’t look shocked to me” said a witness.

The explosive story of the 5 suspicious Israelis seen celebrating while filming the attacks on the World Trade Center was first reported nationally in American Free Press shortly after September 11. ABC News recently reported on this story and added a comment that deserves attention.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly fuming with former head of Mossad (Israeli Spy Agency), Meir Dagan. Dagan’s last day on the job was last week, and at the last day he talked to journalists and dropped a bombshell: “Iran won’t reach its nuclear capabilities before 2015.”  Dagan also warned against “a rushed decision” to attack Iran.

With these last words, when he tried for the first time to “show off” his achievements, Dagan single handed sabotaged Netanyahu’s on going efforts to build a firm international coalition against Iran.

There are two states in the world which have nuclear weapons, the USA and Israel. Both are clear and present dangers to the entire planet. The greater threat is Israel, because Israel can destroy Western civilization and possibly make the entire planet uninhabitable. 

This is not because Israel can detonate thousands of nukes over the entire planet. Rather it is because Israel can nuke Russia. If that were to happen (perhaps as a result of an Israeli nuclear strike on Iran) then Russia would launch a nuclear attack against the United States (both the US and Russia remain on hair-trigger nuclear alert), and the US would retaliate in the same way. 

Israel mungkin berada di balik pembunuhan Presiden AS John F Kennedy pada tahun 1963.
