Second hour: Massacre in Houla, Syria carried out, according to the UN, by ‘Shabiah’ fighters but it appears victims may have been government supporters. BBC use 9 year old photograph from Iraq on their website as if it was from Syria. Syrian government says 800 rebel fighters carried out the massacre and that the victims had refused to oppose the Syrian government. Did the UN question witnesses to the massacre by phone only? We are not hearing about massacres by pro-Western regimes. Israel hints that it may be behind the ‘Flame’ virus the data stealing virus which has been attacking nuclear systems and Siemens software.

Where did all that looted Nazi wealth end up? Immediate co-operation between the Nazi Bormann network and select Jewish businessmen.
