LordLindsey

This is from Cynthia personally.  This is BREAKING NEWS and has just occurred.  Please do with this information whatever you can because this is VERY, VERY serious and there is absolute PROOF--according to Cynthia--of false reports and inspections involved.  Here is the information as of 10 minutes ago--MUCH more to follow...

"The Limasol Port Authority, which controls Larnaca as well, sent their inspector to Larnaca with a letter saying that the boat failed inspection BEFORE HE ARRIVED IN LARNACA TO DO THE INSPECTION.  Reuters is doing the story now and saying that we were prevented from leaving due to Cyprio authorities.  Please report that our voyage is interfered with and have interested journalists contact the Limasol authorities and ask them why the are PURPOSELY delaying us from our PEACEFUL mission."

Folks, this is HUGE news and needs to be sent far-and-wide.  The Israelies are doing everything that they can to prevent the ship from leaving, going so far as to have FALSIFIED REPORTS written-up.  I will post more details as they become available.

PLEASE do what you can to help Cynthia and the others as this is a very big media event to shine light on the crimes being committed in Gaza.

Cyprus prevents activists from sailing to Gaza
By The Associated Press
Tags: Blockade, Israel News, Gaza

Cyprus' Merchant Shipping Department on Thursday prevented international activists from sailing for Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid in violation of the Israeli-led blockade of the Palestinian territory.

Department chief Sergios Sergiou said that a fishing boat and a small ferry that the Free Gaza Group were to use for the trip from Cyprus to Gaza had not undergone safety inspections which would take at least a few days to complete.

"It's a dangerous trip," Sergiou told the Associated Press. "The vessels must undergo a general inspection before they are allowed to go."
   Advertisement

But Free Gaza Group spokesman Ramzi Kysia said that both vessels were allowed to sail from Cyprus during the group's previous attempts to reach Gaza.

The Free Gaza Group already has made five successful boat trips from Cyprus to Gaza since August 2008. Kysia said the fishing boat sailed to the Hamas-ruled territory in August last year. The ferry set sail in January this year during Israel's three-week offensive in Gaza, but had to turn back a few hours into the trip after encountering mechanical problems.

Sergiou could not explain why the vessels were previously allowed to leave Cyprus.

Free Gaza spokeswoman Greta Berlin said she was absolutely outraged, but that activists would not be deterred.

Around 32 people including a former U.S. congresswoman (<-- Cynthia McKinney NOT NAMED) and an Irish Nobel laureate were to sail to Gaza to deliver 3 tons of medical supplies and 15 tons of cement.

"We promised the people of Gaza we would come back and that we would not forget them," said Mairead Corrigan Maguire, who won the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize for her work with Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.

Latest from the Reuters journalist who was SUPPOSED to have the scoop while with Cynthia and the rest of the crew:

"Cyprus UN Mission Ambassador e-mail address:  mailto:mhadjimichael@cyprusun.org">mhadjimichael@cyprusun.org
this is what was sent:

Dear Mr. Ambassador-

I have been in touch with former US Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who is part of a mission to Gaza to deliver civilian relief aid.  I am a reporter here in New York and have been covering the story.  Her boat is currently being held in Cyprus and she asked me to forward the following to your office:

"Our voyage is being interfered with and ask that you contact the Cyprus Government and ask them why the Limasol authorities are purposely delaying us.

If we could get an explanation from the Cyprus Government or the Mission at the UN, then it would help explain to us why the normal procedures that allowed 5 runs of the Dignity and previous runs of the Spirit of Humanity and Free Gaza were not followed."

Rep. McKinney's email address and my contact information follows:"

This is the latest, and Ognir is conducting an interview VERY, VERY shortly with the scoop on all that is happening now.

NB:  I am not sure if the reporter was in New York or is the Reuters reporter who was SUPPOSED to run the full-story of what is and was happening, but that can be deal with later.

This is Cynthia's latest on the situation:



"The Israelis are hopping mad.  And they're flexing their muscles in all the ugly places.  They can't ram us again without sparking an international uproar, so they're trying to stop us from leaving the port at all.  The Limasol, Cyprus Port Authority which controls the port of Larnaca also, sent their inspector to Larnaca with a letter saying that the boat failed inspection, only thing, the letter was written BEFORE he even arrived in Larnaca to do the inspection!  Reuters is doing the story at this very moment saying that we were prevented from leaving due to Cypriot authorities.  We just learned from a Cyprus government source that pressure is being applied by Israel to deny us departure credentials.  It appears, then, that Israel is putting us into contortions because they don't want us to take cement into Gaza.  After white phosphorus, depleted uranium, DIME, cluster bombs, F16s, death, destruction, and mayhem.  All of *this* over a few bags of cement.  Can you believe???

1.  Read the Haaretz article here, showing Israeli concern about us taking cement to Gaza
2.  Hear the interview with Don Debar on the contortions we're being put through by Cyprus Port Authority
3.  Read the Reuters article here (interesting that the story broke in Israel and not Cyprus!!)
4.  Individuals have already started to contact the Cyprus UN Mission and their DC Embassy to inquire why they are arbitrarily not allowing the Spirit of Humanity and the Free Gaza to set sail.

1.  Here is the Ha'aretz article:

Last update - 17:00 18/06/2009    
 
 
Activists plan to send Gaza cement, in violation of Israel blockade  
 
By Reuters and Haaretz Service  
 
   

 

 
Activists campaigning for an end to Gaza's blockade by Israel will sail to the Hamas-run enclave from Cyprus despite the presence of the Israeli navy, they said on Thursday.

Two boats, including one carrying cement and building supplies -- materials not permitted in by Israel over fears that they could be used for military purposes -- will sail from Cyprus on June 25, the multi-national Free Gaza Movement said.

"We are taking 15 tons of cement, which is just a token of how much the Palestinians need, because the Israelis won't allow building supplies into Gaza," said Greta Berlin, a representative of the group.
 
 

 

The group started regular shuttles to Gaza from Cyprus in August 2008, but was turned back by the Israeli navy on its last journey in mid-January of this year.

Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza in 2007 after the Islamist Hamas took control of the enclave, a strip of land that is home to 1.5 million people.

Israeli forces bombed and then invaded Gaza in late December 2008 in a bid to rout out militants lobbing rockets into Israel, badly battering its already decrepit infrastructure.

2.  Hear Greta Berlin and I explain what is happening with the purposeful delay of our departure

http://www.livestream.com/wbaix

3.  Read the Reuters article:

 12:54 25Jun09 -Cyprus halts aid boats bound for Gaza Strip
    LARNACA, Cyprus, June 25 (Reuters) - Cyprus stopped two

boats planning to carry aid to the Gaza Strip in defiance of an

Israeli blockade from leaving port on Thursday, officials said.

   The U.S.-based Free Gaza Movement had been planning to take

33 activists to Gaza with medical supplies and cement, a

material that Israel does not allow into the Palestinian

territory devastated by a short war that ended early this year.

   The Free Gaza Movement started sending regular aid voyages

from Cyprus to Gaza in August 2008, but one of its boats was

involved in a collision with an Israeli vessel in December, and

was turned back on another mission in January.

   Cypriot shipping officials cited inspection requirements for

stopping the two vessels, a small ferry and a sailing boat, from

leaving port two hours before their scheduled departure.

   Both vessels had travelled to Gaza before.

   "One of the ships was only recently registered in Cyprus and

under Cyprus law it has to undergo inspection before being given

permission to sail," said Serghios Serghiou, head of Cyprus's

Department of Merchant Shipping. "(The second) ... did not apply

for any inspections before sailing."

   Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza in 2007 after the

Islamist group Hamas took control of the enclave, a tiny sliver

of territory home to some 1.5 million people.  

   Israel bans imports of cement, steel or other building

supplies to Gaza, saying militants could use them for military

purposes. One of the vessels was to carry 15 tonnes of cement.

   Israeli forces bombed then invaded Gaza in late December

2008 with a declared aim of ending cross-border rocket attacks

from the Hamas-ruled territory.  

   The war damaged infrastructure and hurt an economy already

hobbled by years of isolation.

"The Cyprus Port Authority has just noticed us that they will destroy the boats (for our safety, of course) to prevent us from sailing."  This is the latest from Cynthia and shows the ABSOLUTE DESPERATION of the Israelis and the SAYANIM in Cyprus to stop, what they WRONGLY believe will be an attempt to shine light on Gaza; I say WRONGLY because these psychopaths have done more to show their influence and machinations of power in making other nations do their dirty work than would EVER have been possible if the boats were simply allowed to do as was planned.  

YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE NEED TO GIVE OFF OF YOUR ASSES AND START SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE DAYS WHERE YOU SAY, "Oh, someone ELSE will do it--I am too busy," ARE LONG PAST GONE.  If Israel goes forward with the destruction of these vessels, this will be something that will never, ever be able to be ignored by the world because THEY WERE CAUGHT LYING AND MAKING FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE INSPECTION OF THE VESSELS, PEOPLE!!!

"The State Department has just sent us the notice below.  The White House says that cement and medical supplies should get into Gaza and that's exactly what we are attempting to take to Gaza.  

Instead of quoting Israel policy to us, the State Department should state U.S. policy to Israel.  Therefore, the U.S. should send a message to Israel reiterating the reported White House position that the blockade of Gaza should be eased, that medical supplies and building materials, including cement, should be allowed in, and that Free Gaza boats should be allowed to reach their destination, from Cyprus territorial waters, through international waters, and straight into Gaza territorial waters.
 
The State Department has chosen to advise us to take the Israeli notification seriously.  Our question is, "Can we take President Obama seriously?"  Will he stand by his own words and allow us to provide relief for Gaza or will he back down?

Here's the notice from the State Department:

From: Consular, Nicosia <consularnicosia@state.gov>;
Date: Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 7:58 AM
Subject: The Risks in Your Sailing to Gaza
To: mailto:friends@freegaza.org">friends@freegaza.org

For Greta Berlin, Ramzi Kysia, and other United States citizens,

Please be aware of the risks involved in your planned sailing from Larnaca to Gaza this morning.

As I am sure you know, the U.S. Department of State issued a Travel Warning for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza that remains in effect.  This warning reads in part:  "The State Department strongly urges that American citizens refrain from all travel to the Gaza Strip.  This recommendation has been in effect since the deadly roadside bombing of a U.S. Embassy convoy in Gaza in October 2003.  It applies to all Americans, including journalists and aid workers.  American citizens should be aware that as a consequence of a longstanding prohibition on travel by U.S. Government employees into the Gaza Strip, the ability of consular staff to offer timely assistance to U.S. citizens there is extremely limited."

On Monday, June 22, the Israeli Foreign Ministry informed U.S. officials at the American Embassy in Tel Aviv that Israel still considers Gaza an area of conflict and that any Free Gaza boats attempting to sail to the Gaza Strip will "not be permitted" to reach its destination.

I encourage you to take the State Department's Travel Warning and the Israeli notification seriously.

Sincerely,

Randy Carlino
U.S. Consul"

LordLindsey

Here is the latest from Cynthia; SHE AND THE OTHERS ARE GOING TO GAZA TOMORROW NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS.  She told me as much earlier today, and now it is confirmed officially as follows:



"Please pardon cross posts.  Here is what Free Gaza had to say today about our delayed departure:


Subject: Public Advisory - We did not leave Cyprus today

PUBLIC ADVISORY
(25 June 2009, LARNACA) - This is not the statement we in the Free Gaza Movement intended to release today. We had hoped to announce that our two ships, the Free Gaza and the Spirit of Humanity, departed from Larnaca Port on a 30-hour voyage to besieged Gaza, carrying human rights activists who have travelled to Cyprus from all across the world for this journey, 3 tons of medical supplies, and 15 tons of badly needed concrete and reconstruction supplies.

Nobel peace laureate Mairead Maguire, returning for her second trip to Gaza aboard one of our ships, said "[The people of Gaza] must know that we have not and will not forget them."

That was our hope, but that is not what happened.

Instead, our ships were not given permission to leave today due to concerns about our welfare and safety. Our friends in Cyprus tell us that the voyage to Gaza is too dangerous, and they are worried we will be harmed at sea.

Cyprus has been a wonderful home for the Free Gaza Movement over these last 10 months. Cypriots know first hand the terrible consequences of occupation. They too know what it is to suffer from violence, injustice, and exile. Since our first voyage to break through the siege of Gaza, the Cypriot authorities have been extremely helpful and understanding of our goals and intentions.

The journey to Gaza is dangerous. The Israeli navy rammed our flagship, the Dignity, when we attempted to deliver medical supplies to Gaza during their vicious assault in December/January. Israel has previously threatened to open fire on our unarmed ships, rather than allow us to deliver humanitarian and reconstruction supplies to the people of Gaza.

The risks we take on these trips are tiny compared to the risks imposed every day upon the people of Gaza.

The purpose of nonviolent direct action and civil resistance is to take risks - to put ourselves "in the way" of injustice. We take these risks well aware of what the possible consequences may be. We do so because the consequences of doing nothing are so much worse. Anytime we allow ourselves to be bullied, every time we pass by an evil and ignore it - we lower our standards and allow our world to be made that much harsher and unjust for us all.

In addition to the concerns expressed by our Cypriot friends today, the American consulate in Nicosia warned us not to go to Gaza, stating that:

"...[T]he Israeli Foreign Ministry informed U.S. officials at the American Embassy in Tel Aviv that Israel still considers Gaza an area of conflict and that any Free Gaza boats attempting to sail to the Gaza Strip will "not be permitted" to reach its destination."

Former U.S. Congresswoman & presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney responded to this warning by pointing out that, "The White House says that cement and medical supplies should get into Gaza and that's exactly what we are attempting to take to Gaza."

"Instead of quoting Israel policy to us," McKinney continued, "...the U.S. should send a message to Israel reiterating the reported White House position that the blockade of Gaza should be eased, that medical supplies and building materials, including cement, should be allowed in. The Free Gaza boats should be allowed to reach their destination, traveling from Cyprus territorial waters, through international waters, and straight into Gaza territorial waters."

"The State Department has chosen to advise us to take the Israeli notification seriously.  Our question is, 'Can we take President Obama seriously?'  Will he stand by his own words and allow us to provide relief for Gaza or will he back down?"


Tomorrow we will deliver a waiver, signed by all going to Gaza, that we absolve Cyprus of all responsibility for our safety. We would like to tell our friends here in Cyprus that though we understand and appreciate their concerns, we will not back down to Israel's threats and intimidation.

This evidence has been personally given to and received by Cynthia McKinney; Joe, this was evidence that is INVALUABLE in showing that what happened was an attempt at creating a false premise via FORGERY AND CORRUPTION to keep the ships from sailing.  Thank you very much for what you have done and gotten on THE RECORD.

LINDSEY

NB:  Joe, there are a few mistakes that you made the Cynthia has pointed out to me, like the name of the ship was not the Dignity, but the point is that you have it on tape that what has taken place is WRONG in every way that it is seen.  The names of the ships are "Free Gaza" and "The Spirit of Humanity."  

NBB:  For ANYONE who wants to pursue this along the same lines as Joe, it is CRUCIAL to make sure that you know the names of the ships in question--Joe, it was an honest mistake that even "I" could have made, so just know that you have done a genuinely admirable job with this audio file.
The Military KNOWS that Israel Did 911!!!!

Don't send a ship of cement, send a ship with video cameras and start a "youtube" clone so the whole world can see what the nazi IDF is doing. I mean what's the point of rebuilding a house if it's going to get bombed again?
