THE BEDFORD SUITCASE - LOCKERBIE

The work of the CIA, MI5, MI6 and MOSSAD?

The 'Bedford suitcase' may have contained the bomb that brought down PanAm 103 over Lockerbie.

The Bedford suitcase was put on PanAm 103 at London's heathrow airport, not in Malta or in Frankfurt.

(Megrahi book raises new questions over Lockerbie - Herald Scotland)

The brown hard-sided suitcase was seen by Heathrow baggage loader John Bedford, before the arrival of PanAm 103 from Frankfurt.

The Lockerbie trial judges described Mr Bedford as a "clear and impressive witness".

A police document, not disclosed to the defence, suggests the Bedford suitcase could have been 'the primary suitcase'.

There is evidence of a break-in at Heathrow the night before the bombing.

Detective Constable Derek Henderson established the colour and type of all the 'legitimate' Heathrow bags.

None were brown, hard-sided suitcases.

The information from Henderson was not in the 'list of productions' for the original Lockerbie trial.

So, who might have had the ability to put a bomb on the plane at Heathrow?

And, why have the CIA and MI6 appeared to be part of a cover-up of what happened at Heathrow?

RUSSIA AND ISRAEL

Israeli veterans of the Red Army (http://www.forward.com/articles/103839/)

During the Cold War, Russia and Israel did exchange secrets.

Is Russia still in bed with Israel?

According to WikiLeaks: Russia gave Israel the codes for a defense system which Russia sold to Iran.

"WikiLeaks has released an e-mail exchange between employees of Stratfor, the US-based global intelligence company, which reveals Israel and Russia made a deal to swap access codes for defense and surveillance equipment.

"According to the leaked document, Israel gave Russia the 'data link codes' for unmanned aerial vehicles that the Jewish state sold to Georgia, and in return, Russia gave Israel the codes for Tor-M1 missile defense systems that Russia sold Iran."

Aangirfan considers that Wikileaks is used by the CIA to destabilise certain countries.

Recent Wikileaks leaks have attacked Syria's Assad.


On 29 February 2012 'Just Another Inside Job' gives the following comments:

"Anyone still trusting Russia must upgrade his/her brain...

"An email dated February 26, 2009, refers to clandestine Israeli-Russian collaboration.

"The source is described as a 'former Mexican cop, Latam military analyst, writes for Jane’s'; has a reliability rating of A and a credibility rating of 1, the highest possibleStratfor rankings...

Israel has a very large Russian-Jewish population.

"Israel and Turkey are alleged to be 'collaborating very closely' following a S-300 sale from Russia to Greece.

"The email also lists the following claim: “Turkey has been cracking the S-300 since the … sale and has been sharing intel on the S-300 with the Israelis to ensure that they retain an advantage over Iran should Iran get them from the Russians.”

Russia may see Israel as an ally against the Islamists?

What is Putin's latest position on Syria?

Putin says the West has fuelled the Syrian conflict.

On 2 March 2012, Vladimir Putin criticized the West for backing the Syrian opposition, saying it has fuelled the conflict.

Putin said that both the Syrian government and opposition forces must pull out of the cities to end the bloodshed.

Putin defended Russia-China veto of a UN resolution condemning Assad's crackdown on protests, saying that Moscow wants to prevent the replay of what happened in Libya


In 2001, Israel-Russia Relations were described by Shlomo Avineri of the Carnegie Endowment Report.

Israel-Russia Relations - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

According to Avineri:

From 1947-51, Russia supported Israel.

Russia supported the Arab side in the wars against Israel in 1956, 1967, and 1973, as well as during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.

The crackdown on Jewish dissidents and refuseniks added to the tension between Israel and Russia.

All this deepened US strategic support for Israel.

Palestine

Gorbachev improved the Russian relationship with Israel.

Almost one million Russian Jews emigrated to Israel in the last ten years.

"The disappearance of the Soviet strategic umbrella deprived Arab leaders of their military and diplomatic insurance policy."

This moved the PLO toward the Oslo Accords and led Syria to agree to serious negotiations with Israel.

Russia acquiesced in the Gulf War.

Israel benefited from its Russian immigrants in terms of technology, the economy and the size of its population.

Russian policy in the period 1991-2001 has been consistently supportive of stabilization and of US peace efforts.

Russia realizes the limits of its power and the narrowness of it's policy options.

Russia is aware of the Arabs' relative weakness and Israel's relative strength.

"The staff of the Russian embassy in Tel Aviv abounds with fluent Hebrew speakers, and they are able to counter-balance the kind of information that flows to Moscow from Arab capitals."

Russian Jews in the USA

Russia worries about its Islamist neighbours.

Hence Russia seeks friendship with Israel, which has political and technological access to the West.

The Arab regimes are seen as ailing and unreliable.

There has been joint Israeli-Russian defense and industrial cooperation.



The war in Chechnya, and Russia's apparent lack of sympathy for Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo, have diminished Russia's standing in the Muslim world.

There is a belief that Russia and Israel are allies in the struggle against Islamic fundamentalism.

Russians view the one million Russian-speakers in Israel as a major foreign policy asset.

The "Russian" vote is the major bloc of swing voters in Israeli elections.

Nearly one third of the Israeli population are Russian Jews.

STUDY: RICH MORE LIKELY TO BE GREEDY, SELFISH AND UNSCRUPULOUS


A new study in the USA has found that the wealthy are 'more likely to lie, cheat and break the law'.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2107293/Wealthy-likely-lie-cheat-break-law.html#ixzz1nfNiu1ub

The study is reported in the American journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

The researchers suggest that the rich tend to be more greedy, more selfish and more unscrupulous.

The study found that wealthy drivers were four times as likely as less well off drivers to cut up other vehicles by barging their way across a junction.

The rich were also less likely to stop for a pedestrian who was trying to cross the road.


In another study, a group of volunteers played a computer game.

The wealthiest were more likely to cheat.

"When presented with a jar of sweets destined for youngsters helping in a nearby lab and told they could have some, the richest helped themselves the most."

Paul Piff, of the University of California, Berkeley, said "the recent economic crisis has been attributed in part to the unethical actions of the wealthy."
