Dear Joseph,

It's not me who makes that claim the claim was made by Carol Lipton:

1. The Kenneth Joseph Story
http://www.counterpunch.org/lipton04122003.html

2. Saddam Hussein's alleged shredder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein%27s_alleged_shredder#Rev._Kenneth_Joseph

Feel free to chase up all the references that are sited.

There are other examples. We already know that Sargon Dadesho not only got his Doctorate from a Diploma Mill (See: http://www.zindamagazine.com/html/archives/2006/02.25.06/index_sat.php#TheLighthouse) and he was getting funding from powerful political groups that utilise his media for their political objectives - such as promoting an ARab uprising in Iran - and in return providing him with the much needed funds for the operation of his AssyriaSat television.

As for Ainkawa and AINA these may be run by our people but they may derive their funding through State Department grants which depend on religous based sites to create an air of Orientalism and justify the US invasion and occupation of our homeland.

I mean I actually spent a few weeks in Nahla in the summer of 2003 and came to know the villagers and the surrounding Kurds quite well.

I like you guys was shocked at the time by reports of Assyrian women being raped, abducted and murdered by Kurds in northern Iraq. So I armed myself with print outs of 2 AINA reports that I wanted to investigate whilst I was there.

1. Injustices Committed Against Assyrians in Northern Iraq
http://www.aina.org/releases/injustices.htm

On the morning of January 13, 1996, Wasan Mishael, a 16 year-old Assyrian girl from Simele was kidnapped at gunpoint from her home. Under extreme emotional and physical pressure and abuse, she was forced to denounce her Christian religion and marry one of her kidnapers. The courage of the young girl and the Assyrian population's outrage forced Assyrian political parties to take action and force the capture of the criminals involved.

On January 20, 1996, another minor was kidnapped. This time the victim was a 13 year-old Assyrian girl named Janet Oshana, who resided in the village of Mulla-Urab, near the town of Zakho. The perpetrator of this crime is a Kurdish man named Khorshid Othman Kalash. Although the Assyrian community's anger forced the kidnaper's apprehension by the authorities, the young girl has not yet been returned to the custody of her parents, and neither has the offender Kalash been brought to face justice.


2. PKK Abducts Assyrian Girl
http://www.aina.org/releases/pkk.htm

Witnesses in North Iraq said that a group of armed PKK guerillas abducted a fifteen-year-old Assyrian girl named Ahlam Patrus Nissan from her village on September 16, 1996. Local farmers and others who witnessed the kidnapping said they saw the girl being carried off with an expression of fear on her face. The PKK admitted that they have the girl but they claim she joined them willfully. They have refused to allow anyone to speak to the teenaged girl. Apparently, it is common practice among some Kurdish tribes that after such abduction, the young girl is forced to marry her kidnapper. It is also common that in such cases, the victim is forced to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam.


Unfortunately the results are not what was expected. According to numerous eye-witness reports I took in the area they all corroberated the fact that of the 3 women mentioned in the 2 reports only one of the women - Wasan Michael - was legitimately abducted and thanks to the Kurdish authorities, working with the ADM, her abductor was arrested and she was returned to her parents.

As for the other 2 girls they eloped with Kurdish men and in order to "save face" their parents had claimed that the women had been "abducted."

I was then told that there are a handful of cases each year in which Assyrian women elope with non-Assyrian men throughout Iraq. I was then disgusted to hear of one Assyrian man brag about how one of the villager's sister had fallen in love with the a Kurd and on her way to elope with him her brother had caught up with her and had taken his Kalashnikov and put a bullet in his own sister's head and thrown her into a ravine.

When I questioned AINA on their forum about the accuracy of their reports I was unfortunately censored not surprising considering that they rumoured to receive State Department support and have an active interest in maintaining the Oriental framework perpetuating all Middle Easterners as regressive, autocratic, sensual and decadent.

But its not just us the Israelies have their own version of AINA and Ainkawa which reports the truth but puts a slight twist on it.

See Brian Whitaker's report titled, Selective Memri which describes just how these news organisations function.

I hope this gives you something to think about.
