Anglo-French drone files stolen
Press TV – February 23, 2012
Highly secret documents related to the Anglo-French project aimed at building Europe’s assassination drones have been stolen at the Gare du Nord station in Paris.
A briefcase containing highly confidential documents relating to the Anglo-French assassination drone project has been stolen from a senior French executive.
The senior executive from Dassault Aviation, a French manufacturer of military jets, was on his way to London when two people, possibly linked to “a highly-sophisticated operation by a spy agency” as described by the French police, stole the documents.
Britain and France agreed to carry out a joint project aimed at building a new generation of assassination drones, known as Male (medium altitude long endurance) drones, by 2020.
British arms giant BAE Systems and Dassault Aviation are to launch the joint venture so that the new assassination drones will fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan as part of the US and Britain’s so-called “War on Terror.”
British anti-arms campaigners have severely criticized the Anglo-French project as they describe the assassination drones as “the latest ‘must have’ weapon system” that Britain is “desperate” to build.
“Drones are the latest ‘must have’ weapon system and it is important they say, that the UK keeps up with the US and Israel in this key market,” said Drone Wars UK in a statement.

These Chains Will Be Broken
A Resistance Message from Palestinian Prisoners to the World
Palestine Chronicle | January 20, 2020
On Monday, January 20, Clarity Press, Inc. of Atlanta announced the launch of These Chains Will Be Broken: Palestinian Stories of Struggle and Defiance in Israeli Prisons, by Palestinian author and journalist, Ramzy Baroud, and The Palestine Chronicle Editorial Team.
Bookended by a Foreword by Khalida Jarrar Member of the Palestinian Legislative Council and an Afterword by Richard Falk, former UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, the collection conveys in prisoners’ own words, Palestinian suffering in Israeli jails and their enduring resistance to the occupation of their historic homeland.
“These are the stories of Palestine’s true organic intellectuals,” said Baroud, “women and men, mothers and fathers, children and teens, teachers, fighters and human rights’ advocates, united by a single motive that transcends region, religion and ideology: resistance. Regardless of the cost, they are taking a brave, moral and internationally defensible stand against injustice in all of its forms.”
“It has been wrong and inaccurate to label Palestinian prisoners as either victims or terrorists, because both classifications obfuscate the reality of an entire nation facing the onslaught of colonialism, military occupation and the entrenched Israeli apartheid.”
In her Foreword to the book, member of the Palestine Legislative Council, Khalida Jarrar—who has been detained and imprisoned by the Israeli occupation since her contribution to it—wrote that These Chains Will Be Broken will allow readers to “delve into the lives of men and women, read intimate stories that they have chosen to share with you, stories that may surprise you, anger you and even shock you. But they are crucial stories that must be told, read and retold.” … continue

Guess who stole the documents? The very same people who stole the French boats back in 1969.

Good guess. You are probably correct.

The US, UK, France, and Israel; are now overtly assassination addicts. Drones is not as horrendous or expensive, and easier logistically to use I suppose, but nonetheless used illegally as a terror weapon for assassination.
It has not occurred to Obama as it did to JFK that assassination was a risky business as potentially being a two-way street. But, that did not prevent dozens of assassination attempts on Fidel Castro with his approval and under the direction of his brother, then US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. However, their assassinations did not come from Cuba, but Israel over it’s insistence on covertly building nuclear bombs at Dimona nuclear power plant.
Perhaps, Obama does know this, and fears another false-flag assassination by the Israelis, their specialty, with also includes 9/11.
Israel has nothing to lose in doing so, all the candidates in the republican party are Zionist, and the mass mercenary media will go along 100%
And let us not forget that Iran landed a US drone a few months ago, and are smart enough to use it as a blueprint to build a fleet of them and get all those bastards at there Bilderberg Group meeting.
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) was a very good thing. Likewise, this is great news!
