On 3 December 1984, Kuwait Airways Flight 221 from Kuwait City to Karachi, Pakistan, was hijacked by four Lebanese Shi'a hijackers and diverted to Tehran.[107] The hijackers' demand was the release of 17 Shi'ite Muslim prisoners for their role in the 1983 Kuwait bombings, which was not met. During the course of the stand-off women, children and Muslims were released and two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development, Charles Hegna and William Stanford, were shot dead and dumped on the tarmac. The few dozen passengers left on board, particularly Americans were threatened and tortured. "Every five minutes there was a frightening incident. There was no letup at all," British flight engineer Neil Beeston told the BBC.Paradoxically the hijackers released a statement claiming "We do not have any enmity toward anyone and we do not intend to deny the freedom of anyone or to frighten anyone…" On the sixth day of the grueling ordeal, Iranian security forces stormed the plane and released the remaining hostages. Authorities said they would be brought to trial, but the hijackers were released and allowed to leave the country. Some passengers and officials suggested complicity by Iran in the hijacking and that the hostage rescue had been staged. One Kuwaiti and two Pakistani passengers claimed that the hijackers received additional weapons and equipment once the plane had landed, including handcuffs and nylon ropes used to tie passengers to their seats. One American official wondered if the surrender was not preplanned: "You do not invite cleaners aboard an aeroplane after you have planted explosives, promised to blow up the plane, and read your last will and testament." The U.S. State Department announced a $250,000 reward for information leading to the arrests of those involved in the hijacking, but made no military response. Later press reports linked Hezbollah's Imad Mughniyah to the hijackings.[citation needed]

On 5 April 1988, Kuwait Airways Flight 422 was hijacked from Bangkok to Kuwait with 111 passengers and crew aboard, with three members of the Kuwaiti Royal Family being among the passengers. Six or seven Lebanese men, including Hassan Izz-Al-Din, a veteran of the TWA 847 hijacking armed with guns and hand grenades forced the pilot to land in Mashhad, Iran and demanded the release of 17 Shi'ite Muslim prisoners being held by Kuwait. Lasting 16 days and travelling 3,200-miles from Mashhad in northeastern Iran to Larnaca, Cyprus, and finally to Algiers, it is the longest skyjacking to date. Two passengers, Abdullah Khalidi, 25, and Khalid Ayoub Bandar, 20, both Kuwaitis, were shot to death by the hijackers and dumped on the tarmac in Cyprus. Kuwait did not release the 17 prisoners, and the hijackers were allowed to leave Algiers.[108]

New York to London route[edit]

Kuwait Airlines was accused of discriminating against holders of Israeli passports, for refusing in 2013 and 2014 to sell tickets from New York to London to people holding such passports.[72][73] In response, Senator Richard Blumenthal, along with five other senators, wrote a letter to Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in May 2015 urging him to investigate the allegations. In October 2015, at the conclusion of an investigation, the Department of Transportation issued Kuwait Airways an order to "cease and desist from refusing to transport Israeli citizens between the U.S. and any third country where they are allowed to disembark"[74] In the letter, the DOT also accused Kuwait Airways of following the Arab League boycott of Israel.[75] Additionally, New York City Councilmember Rory Lancman asked the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates JFK Airport, to "terminate the airline’s lease if it doesn’t immediately change its policy".[76] For its part, the airline said that it is in compliance with Kuwaiti Law which prohibits the company from entering "into an agreement, personally or indirectly, with entities or persons residing in Israel, or with Israeli citizenship."[77] The airline also petitioned the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review the dispute.[78]

 

The matter was settled on December 15, 2015, when Kuwait Airlines informed the United States Department of Transportation that it will eliminate service between JFK and London Heathrow, with The Daily Telegraph reporting that tickets for the route were no longer being sold effective the following week. Councilmember Lancman responded saying "If you’re so anti-Semitic that you would rather cancel a flight than provide service to Israeli passport holders, then good riddance".[79][80]

Furious at Trump, Disgraced UN “Human Rights” Boss to Step Down

www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/27803-furious-at-trump-disgraced-un-human-rights-boss-to-step-down

 

" Prince Zeid bin Ra'ad Al Hussein, a member of the Islamic dynasty ruling Jordan who serves as the bombastically titled UN “High Commissioner for Human Rights.” Along with the internationally ridiculed UN “Human Rights Council,” a body that includes dozens of vicious kleptocrats and mass-murdering tyrants, Hussein and his office are the pinnacle of the UN's “human rights” regime.

 

…Instead of being concerned about the human rights of those victims of the UN, the UN “human rights” boss spent his time and energy conspiring to destroy the one ethical official in his office who blew the whistle and tried to stop the ongoing atrocities against some of the most vulnerable children on the planet.

"The Trump administration and Congress have become increasingly aware of the perverse UN agenda, most recently exposed when the dictators club voted to condemn the U.S. government for moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Bipartisan threats to defund the UN are growing louder, and Trump has already announced that the U.S. will be withdrawing from key UN agencies and agreements in the years ahead.

 

But to truly end the extreme threat to U.S. sovereignty and liberty posed by the increasingly unhinged dictators club, a full withdrawal is needed, along with an eviction of the UN's headquarters from U.S. soil. Legislation to achieve that, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (H.R. 193), is sitting in the House Foreign Affairs Committee awaiting action. All that is needed now is sufficient pressure from the American people. "

"Jordan’s voting record on the highly divisive attempt to force U.N. states to criminalize the "defamation of religion" leaves a huge question mark about how aggressively Ambassador Zeid will defend free speech in the sphere of religion

 

From 1999-2010, member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) successfully tabled resolutions on "combating defamation of religion" as part of their campaign to implement a global blasphemy ban under human rights law, in the Human Rights Council (known as the U.N. Commission on Human Rights until 2006) and the General Assembly.

 

During both of Ambassador Zeid’s periods as Jordan’s ambassador to the U.N., Jordan voted in favor of these resolutions when they were introduced at the General Assembly. "

Hashemite is the Latinate version of the Arabic: ‎, transliteration: Hāšimī, and traditionally refers to those belonging to the Banu Hashim, or "clan of Hashim", a clan within the larger Quraish tribe. It also refers to an Arab dynasty whose original strength stemmed from the network of tribal alliances and blood loyalties in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, along the Red Sea.

 

The Hashemites trace their ancestry from Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf (died c. 510 AD), the great-grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

"Divides Emerge Over Nuclear Deal: On Monday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the United States of failing to honor its commitments under the nuclear agreement, noting his belief in “the futility of negotiations with the Americans, their lack of commitment to their promises, and the necessity of distrust of U.S. pledges.” Khamenei also warned of engaging with the United States on other regional conflicts, saying that given the United States’ shortcomings on the nuclear deal, “the Americans’ remarks cannot be trusted on any issue.”

 

Khamenei’s comments starkly contrast against those of President Hassan Rouhani, who in the same week reaffirmed[Pr] his support for the deal, saying that “The most important effect of the [nuclear deal] is that the threat of war was lifted.” “Before the nuclear deal, superpowers [prevented Iran] from selling more than a million barrels of oil per day, but now [Iran] can sell as much as [it wants] and this is a point of honor” Rouhani added "

 

"The Trump administration recently imposed new economic sanctions on Iran, citing its development of ballistic missiles and the launching of a satellite-carrying rocket into space. And while Trump has reluctantly certified to Congress that Tehran is in compliance with the agreement ─ a stance that six fellow signatories share ─ he may take a more aggressive approach when the deal comes up for renewal in October.

 

Trump is also reportedly weighing new measures against Iran's proxy forces in Iraq and Syria, and its support for militant groups elsewhere."

 

"Rouhani defended Iran's use of ballistic missiles, saying that it fell outside the nuclear agreement and that his country would never sacrifice its "defensive missile capabilities."

 

He also complained that the Trump administration was lumping Iran in with North Korea by describing both countries as nuclear threats."

Love Actually is a 2003 Christmas-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. It features an ensemble cast, many of whom had worked with Curtis in previous film and television projects. The screenplay delves into different aspects of love as shown through ten separate stories involving a wide variety of individuals, many of whom are shown to be interlinked as their tales progress. Most of the film was filmed on location in London. The story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place one month later.

The film begins with a voiceover from David (Hugh Grant) commenting that whenever he gets gloomy about the state of the world he thinks about the arrivals terminal at Heathrow Airport, and the pure uncomplicated love felt as friends and families welcome their arriving loved ones. David's voiceover also relates that all the messages left by the people who died on the 9/11 planes were messages of love and not hate. The film then tells the 'love stories' of many people:

Renewed anti-government sentiment could present a challenge to President Hassan Rouhani, a moderate who was re-elected earlier this year after presiding over a 2015 deal with world powers to curb Iran's nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.

However, the sanctions relief and Rouhani's economic and social policies have failed to meet many Iranians' expectations.

 

Unemployment is high, especially among the youth, and socioeconomic inequality has increased. Corruption is rampant and hardliners maintain control over vast swaths of the economy. "

United States Denies “Ransom” Payout to Iran: The Obama administration denied reports that it had secretly sent $400 million worth of cash to Iran in January. Republicans accused the Obama administration of paying “ransom” to Iran, as the payout coincided with the release of five Americans detained by Iran. The five released, including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, were released in a prisoner swap that saw the United States release seven Iranians who had been detained for violating sanctions. In January, the United States said that the $400 million transferred was part of a fund frozen since 1981. Officials further emphasized that due to international sanctions, the payment had to be made in cash. Josh Earnest, a spokesperson for the White House, emphasized that the United States did not pay a ransom “to secure the release of Americans unjustly detained in Iran” and underscored that the claims were made by Republicans wanting to undermine the deal, saying, “They’re struggling to justify their opposition to our engagement with Iran.”

 

Human Rights

 

IRNA reports: “Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday voiced Iran's readiness to boost cooperation with UN human rights commissioner. He made the remarks in a meeting in Geneva with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein.”

The Washington Post reported: “A Washington Post reporter imprisoned in Iran has been granted access to an attorney — but not the one of his choosing. Jason Rezaian, who has been the paper’s Tehran correspondent since 2012 and holds U.S. and Iranian citizenship, has spent 222 days in Tehran’s Evin Prison. Family members say that their preferred attorney was blocked by the country’s Revolutionary Court, which last week had given them a deadline of March 2 to present one that was “acceptable.””

Consequently, Pro dismissed the suit due to lack of evidence. " wikipedia Area 51(State Secrets)

Whereas most people tend to think of classified information as broad categories like Confidential, Secret and Top Secret—the three levels of security clearance that individuals are typically granted—the nation’s most sensitive secrets occupy their own category of “Special Access Programs” of “Sensitive Compartmented Information,” labels colloquially known as “beyond top secret.”

 

"Those beyond-top-secret files would also include details about which foreign officials are on the payroll of agencies like the CIA or the Drug Enforcement Administration. These payments can run into the millions and last for years; President Jimmy Carter was shocked to discover that the CIA had been paying King Hussein of Jordan six and seven figures annually for nearly two decades to ensure his cooperation with American interests.

Secret Law

 

Graff-sidebar2-AP-Getty.jpg

AP/Getty

 

In 2015, when Obama released his new hostage policy—known as Presidential Policy Directive No. 30—close watchers of the administration realized the last publicly announced PPD had been No. 28, which meant that sometime between January 17, 2014, and June 24, 2015, he had signed yet another directive whose very existence was classified. Whatever it is, PPD 29 is one of dozens of secret presidential national security orders, some of which stretch back decades.

 

Each president has called these documents something slightly different, but collectively they deal with high-level strategic and policy decisions around national security and, more recently, homeland security.

 

The whole point of these laws and procedures is to grant the president power the public doesn’t even know he has—and might not know until it’s unveiled to us in the midst of a crisis, either real or invented."
