Anwar Ibrahim released

(CNN) -- Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim Thursday called his arrest on sodomy charges a "dirty trick and conspiracy" orchestrated by authorities in the country trying to discredit him.

"This is a trick to deflect from the problem of corruption and mismanagement of the economy," Anwar told CNN.

The arrest Wednesday, which the U.S. State Department said "raises serious questions and concerns," is the second time Anwar, one of Asia's best-known opposition leaders, has been incarcerated on charges including sodomy and comes after a coalition he led gained seats in the country's parliamentary elections.

Anwar, who was released on bail earlier Thursday, said his arrest and the whole investigation is being conducted by the same police officials whom he claims hid evidence that could have cleared him in his sodomy-related conviction in 1999.

The opposition leader said he was ambushed Wednesday by police when he was trying to turn himself in, strip searched, and interrogated for more than five hours. Watch Anwar speak out against charges to CNN »

"How do you expect me to get justice when the police have resulted to these very crude and unprofessional ways?" Awar asked. "I have not received a police report until this day. According to the law that document should be a public document. I cannot even verify that there is a complainant in the first place."

Investigators arrested Awar about 12:55 p.m. Wednesday as he returned from Putrajaya, south of Kuala Lumpur, said his personal lawyer, Siva Rasah.

Anwar said that during the entire interview, police never talked about any evidence in the case. They also asked for a blood sample -- the same tactic they used 10 years ago to fabricate DNA evidence against him, Anwar charged.

Malaysian Home Affairs Minister Syed Hamid Albar told CNN that Anwar was released at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

A 23-year-old male aide has accused Anwar, 60, of sodomizing him at a luxury apartment in June. Anwar has said the allegations are meant to tamp down his political gains.

Sodomy, even if consensual, is punishable by 20 years in prison in the majority-Muslim country.

A loose coalition of opposition parties -- with Anwar at the helm -- won 82 of 222 parliamentary seats in elections in March. It was only the second time in the country's history that the ruling party failed to gain the two-thirds majority needed to amend Malaysia's constitution.

Anwar spent six years in prison after being convicted on corruption charges in 1999 and on sodomy charges involving his wife's former driver in 2000. Malaysia's highest court overturned the sodomy conviction and ordered him released from prison in 2004.

He left prison in a wheelchair due to injuries he blamed on a 1998 beating by Malaysia's then-police chief.

International observers, including the U.S. State Department, expressed concern about Wednesday's arrest.

"We believe the detention today of prominent Malaysian opposition figure Anwar Ibrahim raises serious questions and concerns," said department spokesman Sean McCormack in a written statement. "We urge Malaysian authorities to resolve this matter in a manner that builds confidence in the impartial rule of law in Malaysia."

But Albar said politics played no role in the arrest.

"Anwar is not above the law; everyone is within the law," Albar told CNN in a telephone interview. "We will look at it purely as a case of criminality that the government needs to investigate."

He cited opposition gains in the March elections and Anwar's relatively short stay before he was freed on bail as evidence Malaysia's government is not out to get the politician. He said police took two weeks to investigate the charges against him before an arrest was made.

"We went slowly, knowing the international community is observing us on this -- knowing his popularity on the international level," Albar said. "To be fair, you must give the complainant the chance that he's being heard. It is the right of a citizen. It is the police's duty to investigate."

Anwar, a former deputy premier many believed to be the heir apparent to former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, has long said the past charges against him were politically motivated. The investigating officer in his original sodomy case was Malaysia's chief of police and the prosecutor was the nation's attorney general.

While his sodomy conviction was overturned, the corruption conviction never was -- barring him from running for office again until this year.

The current BN Federal administration of Malaysia is desperate and will do and go into unethical means to stay in power.

The citizens of Malaysia should now wake up and be ready for a Police State or a State of Emergency Rule.

Anwar Ibrahim Arrested over sodomy allegations

From MALAYSIAN TODAY: http://72.47.255.22/2008/ http://72.47.236.85/2008/

WASHINGTON - THE United States said on Wednesday that the arrest of Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim over sodomy allegations sodomy has raised 'serious concerns.'

'We believe the detention today of prominent Malaysian opposition figure Anwar Ibrahim raises serious questions and concerns,' State Department spokesman Mr Sean McCormack said in a statement.

'We urge Malaysian authorities to resolve this matter in a manner that builds confidence in the impartial rule of law in Malaysia,' he said.

Mr Anwar underwent a long interrogation at the Malaysian police headquarters on Wednesday and was then taken to hospital for a medical examination and would be held overnight at an undisclosed location, his lawyers said.

Mr Anwar's wife Ms Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said she feared for his safety, after the events of a decade ago when he was sacked as deputy premier, beaten up by the police chief, and jailed for six years on sodomy and corruption charges.

Mr Anwar has dismissed the latest accusations as a conspiracy to prevent him from rising into power.

The charges threaten to derail his political comeback and his plans to oust the government with the help of defecting lawmakers after landmark March elections that handed the opposition unprecedented gains.

Two US rights groups also expressed concerns about the arrest and hoped the investigation into the sodomy claims was not used as a political tool to silence him.

The arrest 'is of great concern to us and the international community,' said Mr Lorne Craner, president of the International Republican Institute, and Mr Ken Wollack, president the National Democratic Institute.

They noted that the similar charge filed against him a decade ago was ultimately overturned by Malaysia's Supreme Court.

Mr Craner and Mr Wollack also questioned the timing of the current allegations amid Anwar's re-emergence on the national political scene since a ban on his involvement in politics expired in April 2008.

'We hope that the investigation into the allegation is not used as a political tool to silence an outspoken government critic,' they said.

Sodomy, even between consenting adults, is illegal in predominantly Muslim Malaysia and punishable by 20 years imprisonment. -- AFP

With imminent Oppositon takeover of the Federal government, the UMNO/BN govt is taking harsh and underhanded tactics to derail the Opposition takeover.

V. Rome has just invented "Prayer Pills"!

From: Cutting Edge Weekly Newsletter
http://www.cuttingedge.org/newsletters/

The Roman Catholic Church continues to invent purely pagan ways in which to deceive their followers straight into an eternal Hell!

NEWS BRIEF: "Brazilians in need, physical or spiritual, seek St. Galvao's pills", The Georgia Bulletin, May 15, 2007

"SAO PAULO, Brazil (CNS) -- The Brazilians stood quietly in a line, waiting for the nuns at the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception of Light to open the door and start handing out "Frei Galvao's pills." Normally, the nuns distribute packets containing three pills to be taken within a nine-day period. The pills are tiny rice papers inscribed with a prayer, ingested by those in need."

What nonsense! Roman Catholics have always practiced a specialized form of traditional paganism dressed up in Christian garb. Cutting Edge has proven that the worship of Catholicism is nothing more than a practice of White Magic Witchcraft -- Read full details in NEWS1334, "Traditional Roman Catholic Church Proven To Be A Practice of White Magic Witchcraft - Words and Symbols Tell The Story".

Thus, Catholics are led astray by a great number of pagan practices:

1) Worship of Relics, especially the Cross and of Images -- Instituted 788 A.D.

2) Fasting on Fridays and observance of Lent -- 988 A.D. -- Lent is a totally Pagan observance

3) Forced Celibacy of Priests -- 1123 A.D.

4) Praying the Rosary -- 1090 A.D.

5) Sale of Indulgences -- 1190 A.D

6) Purgatory Proclaimed -- 1438 A.D.

7) Invention of Scapulars, Medals, and Edible Religious Stamps -- 1600 A.D. -- to assure guillable people that they are saved and headed for heaven

8) Infallibility of the Pope -- 1870 A.D.

9) Transubstantiation - Teaching that the bread becomes the body of Jesus in your mouth and the wine becomes His blood. Just like that, the Catholic Church has the human sacrifice so required by paganism, and it occurs daily!

10) The Mass - the daily re-crucifixtion of Jesus. This is THE essence -- the heart and soul of Witchcraft. In Roman Catholicism Witchcraft, the priest is the Wizard, and his primary ritual is the Mass. Remember, there are many different Masses for different things the witch wants the demon to accomplish.

And now, to this sorry list, you can add "Prayer Pills" which are supposed to answer a person's prayer simply by being ingested into the stomach. Jesus warned against "vain prayers", but this one certainly takes the trophy!

No Catholic has to worry about a pure heart before the Lord, or salvation, in order to have his prayers answered. No, all he or she has to do is to swallow three of these pills per day! Rome never ceases in her efforts to deceive her people right into Hell.

I. Senator Barack Obama is a 32nd Degree Prince Hall Freemason!!

From: Cutting Edge Weekly Newsletter
http://www.cuttingedge.org/newsletters/

This revelation is not surprising, for it answers the question as to how Obama could ascend to the high political office when he apparently has no occult background and no discernible Masonic roots.

Now, you know the truth! He is a Mason! Let us consider the evidence.

NEWS BRIEF: "Obama Criticizes Opponents' Iraq Votes", Cephas Library, December 28, 2007

"Today, Prince Hall is a masonic fraternal order whose buildings are clearly marked, members readily identify themselves with rings, bumper stickers, and lapel pins. One of their most famous members, and also a 32nd degree Prince Hall Mason, became a US presidential candidate for 2008. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

"Barack Obama, speaking at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Des Moines on Thursday, criticized other Democrats’ votes to authorize the war in Iraq. Prince Hall is a first black masonic lodge in the US, named by its founder and master who was the most famous black individual in the Boston area during the American Revolution and through the turn of the nineteenth century."

Prince Hall Masonry is identical to the the normal white Lodges, in their teachings, in their symbolism, and now, in getting one of their own to the point where he could attain the highest political office in the land. For this reason, we show the book, "Hidden Secrets of the Eastern Star", above, so you can learn the little-known facts of Freemasonry.

But, you say, this source is the only one in which it is reported that Obama is a Prince Hall Mason. You cannot go on only one source. You are right; we have another source, a website dedicated to the election of Senator Obama as President. As you can see, below, this website has the official Obama letterhead.

As you can see from this website, above, the two symbols depicting the Prince Hall Masonry are two very common Masonic symbols:

1) Colored Goatshead of Mendes Pentagram -- used strongly by the Eastern Star Masonic organization for women, but also used extensively by regular Masons. This particular pentagram is the most evil symbol in Black Magick Witchcraft!

This symbol is also "carved into the ground" in the street layout of Washington, D.C., as we prove in the video, "Riddles In Stone: The Secret Architecture of Washington, D.C."! (Watch this incredible video trailer)

The Pentagram is also used as a talisman/amulet, for protection! Listen to the explanation given by the "Continental Association of Satan's Hope" as they describe their pentagram:

"You will find the Satanic Pentagram invaluable and indispensable as you attempt to draw from the infernal power of your Lord Satan! This extremely powerful amulet is the sign of the ... summation of all the occult forces! In other words, there is no amulet or talisman more powerful, or even close, to as powerful as the Satanic Pentagram". (Dr. Cathy Burns, "Hidden Secrets of the Eastern Star", p. 325)

Now you can understand how gravely important it is that Prince Hall Masonry uses the Satanic inverted Pentagram as one of its major symbols!

Now you know he is a Mason, you can begin to see how Obama could become such an important person in the Illuminati.

2) Standard Masonic Square and Compass with the 'G' in the middle

This Obama website invites you to send a message to Barack Obama by sending it to the Prince Hall Masons.

This reality tells us one of the major reasons Obama has risen so quickly so far in his political career. In fact, this information fills in the only missing piece to the puzzle. Because he is a high-ranking Mason, Obama was selected by the Illuminati to become the first black presidential candidate and, some say, the favorite to win in November.

New Age author, Bill Cooper, revealed in his book that no one is promoted to a high level within American Intelligence unless he has significant Masonic roots! ("Behold A Pale Horse", Bill Cooper)

The same seems to be true of high level politics. As the last days of this plan approaches, the Masonic connection becomes more important.

The Illinois Senator has the Trilateral Commission founder as his Foreign Policy adviser and a Skull & Bonesman as his financial adviser because he is, first and foremost, a Mason.

If Senator Obama is planned to be the next President of the United States, he will join a list of Masons since World War II to hold that office, and the fifth in a row!

1) Gerald Ford

2) Ronald Reagan -- Made an honorary Mason at the end of his second term

3) George H.W. Bush -- Member, Skull & Bones, a secret society steeped in Masonry

4) Bill Clinton -- Member of Demolay

5) George W. Bush -- Member, Skull & Bones

Now you know the full truth!

II. Consistent with Masonic Ecumenical belief, Senator Obama reveres and worships Hindu gods!

NEWS BRIEF: "Is Obama devotee of monkey-god idol?", World Net Daily, June 27, 2008

"A group of Hindus in India have presented Sen. Barack Obama's campaign with a two-foot Hindu monkey-god idol after hearing the candidate carries a smaller version of the Lord Hanuman good-luck charm with him as he vies for the presidency."

Notice that Senator Obama carried with him a small replica of the Hindu monkey-god idol as he campaigned for the Presidency! This means that Obama is looking to this small Hindu god as a talisman, which is an object charged with protecting the wearer!

"Earlier this week, according to reports in India, Obama representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar accepted the gold-plated statue, promising to pass it on to the candidate after is it sanctified through ritual Hindu prayers."

" ' The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms', reported the Times of India."

As the above quote indicates from Obama representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar, the Illinois Senator was pleased and honored by receiving this Hindu idol as a gift.

" 'Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman, and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him', said Bhama. Accepting the souvenir, Sauvage-Mar, chairwoman of Democrats Abroad-India, said, 'Obama has extended his thanks for the support'."

Barack Obama will receive this idol just in time to give him "good luck" in the Democrat National Convention in Denver!

"The idol will be kept at the temple for 11 days and then sent to the U.S. It will reach Obama by Aug. 24 – a day before the Democratic National Convention opens in Denver."

We should not be surprised that Obama reveres a Hindu god, even though he has professed that he is a Christian and prays to Jesus every day. How can we reconcile this apparent contradiction?

We can understand this "paradox" when we read Masonic literature and discover that Masons have always revered the gods of other religions. Let us quickly examine the pertinent passage in a Masonic Bible, which I have on my shelf.

"No Mason needs to be told what a place of honor the Bible has in Masonry. One of the great Lights in the Order, it lies open upon the altar at the center of the Lodge ... Thus, by the very honor which Masonry pays to the Bible, it teaches us to revere every book of faith in which men find help for today and hope for the morrow, joining hands with the man of Islam as he take oath upon the Koran and with the Hindu, as he makes covenant with God upon the book he loves best ... religions are one, but Religion is one --- Therefore, it invites to its altar men of all faiths, knowing that, if they use different names for the 'Nameless One of a hundred names', that they are yet praying to the one God and Father of all." ("The Words Of A Great Masonic Divine, R.W. and Rev. Joseph Fort Newton, 'The Bible In Masonry', p. 3-4, The Masonic Bible, A.J. Holman Company, 1968)

Therefore, you can understand how Obama could depend upon a talisman/amulet of a Hindu god for protection, at the same time he says he prays to Jesus daily! Now you can understand how Obama can say that Christians and Muslims pray to the same god, just as our current Skull & Bones President has repeated on a number of occasions!

Senator Barack Obama is 32nd Degree Mason, and that tells us all we need to know!
