NO Data on ISIS plots against US – OBAMA . . .

“Our intelligence community has not yet detected specific ISIL plots against America. But its leaders have repeatedly threatened America and our allies, and if left unchecked, they could pose a growing threat to the United States,” Obama wrote in the Tampa Bay Times on Sunday.

The US president's comments follow the emergence of new intelligence warning that Washington’s upcoming confrontation with the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) may leave it blind to a more sinister and direct threat from a much lesser known terrorist group – Khorasan.

Obama reminded the public of his recent fierce efforts to battle the Islamic State, with the final goal of destroying the group.

“That is why, last month, I gave the order for our military to begin taking targeted action against ISIL. Since then, our brave pilots and crews have conducted more than 170 airstrikes against these terrorists,” he said.

“Going forward, as I announced earlier this month, we will degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. Whether in Iraq or in Syria, these terrorists will learn what the leaders of al-Qaida already know: We mean what we say, our reach is long, and if you threaten America you will find no safe haven,” Obama stressed.

Beliau juga menegaskan bahawa tentera  Amerika Syarikat hanya akan menyokong tentera Iraq, yang akan berjuang perjuangan mereka sendiri.

Obama juga memberi tumpuan kepada penglibatan antarabangsa keseluruhan dalam memerangi Negara Islam. "Ini bukan & tdk akan melawan Amerika semata-mata. Itulah sebabnya kita terus membina sebuah gabungan antarabangsa yang luas.

Perancis dan UK terbang bersama kami atas Iraq, yang lain telah melakukan untuk menyertai usaha ini, dan Perancis tlh menyertai kami dlm menjalankan serangan terhadap Isil di Iraq. Secara keseluruhannya, lebih daripada 40 buah negara - termasuk negara-negara Arab - telah menawarkan bantuan sebagai sebahagian daripada gabungan ini".

Sementara itu, pejuang Negara Islam telah membuat cara mereka ke Jordan, kerana ia telah mendedahkan bahawa 11 Golongan Negara Islam telah ditangkap di negara ini, dan telah mengaku merancang serangan pengganas, AFP memetik seorang pegawai keselamatan sebagai berkata pada hari Ahad.

Individu-individu yang ditahan "mengakui hubungan mereka kepada kepimpinan organisasi Daesh di Syria dan mereka didakwa menjalankan operasi pengganas di Jordan mensasarkan beberapa kepentingan utama," kata pegawai itu, dengan menggunakan singkatan Bahasa Arab IS ini.

Berita mengenai penangkapan datang selepas Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat John Kerry melawat Jordan pada 10 September untuk membincangkan pemben-tukan pakatan Amerika Syarikat-Arab terhadap Negara Islam dgn Raja Abdullah.

Dalam pertemuan itu, Kerry dan Abdullah membincangkan pilihan untuk mewujudkan asas gabungan di Jordan.

He further underscored that US forces will only support Iraqi soldiers, who will be fighting their own fight.

Obama also focused on overall international involvement in the fight against the Islamic State. “This is not and will not be America's fight alone. That's why we continue to build a broad international coalition. 

France and the UK are flying with us over Iraq, others have committed to join this effort, and France has joined us in conducting strikes against ISIL in Iraq. Overall, more than 40 countries – including Arab nations – have offered assistance as part of this coalition.”

Meanwhile, Islamic State fighters have made their way to Jordan, as it was revealed that 11 Islamic State jihadists were arrested in the country, and have confessed to planning terrorists attacks, AFP cited a security official as saying on Sunday.

The detained individuals “admitted their links to the leadership of the Daesh organization in Syria and that they were charged with carrying out terrorist operations in Jordan targeting a number of vital interests,” the official said, using IS's Arabic acronym.

News of the arrests comes after US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Jordan on September 10 to discuss the creation of US-Arab coalition against the Islamic State with King Abdullah.

During the meeting, Kerry and Abdullah discussed the option of establishing the coalition’s base in Jordan.

Described by organizers as the largest climate-related event in the history of the planet, the People’s Climate March had people lined up across nearly 30 New York City blocks before the event began. According to organizers, the crowd’s numbers easily blew past original projections, which estimated that some 100,000 would attend.

OFFICIAL COUNT: 310,000 people marching for climate justice at #PeoplesClimate March!

2:50 AM - 22 Sep 2014

Antara nama-nama peserta berprofil tinggi seperti Setiausaha Agung PBB Ban Ki-moon, bekas Naib Presiden dan pemenang Nobel Peace Prize Al Gore, dan pelakon Leonardo DiCaprio - wakil PBB yang baru dilantik. Kehadiran tempatan juga kukuh, dengan New York City Datuk Bandar Rang Undang-Undang de Blasio menyertai perarakan, dan juga Majlis Bandaraya.

"Tidak ada Pelan B kerana kita tidak mempunyai planet B," kata Ban dalam satu kenyataan pada hari Ahad. "Kita perlu bekerja dan merangsang tindakan kita. Terima kasih kerana tindakan anda dan kuasa anda untuk berubah."

Among the participants were high-profile names such as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio – a newly appointed UN representative. Local presence was also strong, with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joining the procession, as well as City Council.

“There is no Plan B because we do not have planet B,” Ban said in a statement on Sunday. “We have to work and galvanize our action. Thank you for your action and your power to change.”

Orang2 yang mengembara dari seluruh DUNIA untuk menghadiri perarakan, ter-masuk dari negara2 yang dianggap sebagai di hadapan-garis perubahan iklim.

Satu penunjuk perasaan Filipina diterangkan melihat pantai keseluruhan hilang terima kasih kepada air yang semakin meningkat, dan kumpulan dari Republik Dominican, Afrika, dan beberapa negara-negara Asia Selatan juga turut hadir.

Sesetengah rakyat Amerika, sementara itu, mengembara dari seluruh negara untuk mengambil bahagian dalam acara2 terbesar yg secara kasar 2,700 diselaraskan di seluruh DUNIA. Antara demonstrasi diadakan di 150 buah negara, antara yg paling ketara ialah di London, di mana lebih 40,000 orang hadir, dan Melbourne, di mana perhimpunan terbesar di Australia menarik kira-kira 20,000 aktivis.

Seperti lautan penunjuk perasaan ditenun melalui Manhattan, teriakan "Kami mahu udara bersih" & "Kuasa utk rakyat" mengaum penuh semangat di kalangan orang ramai.

Dengan 120 pemimpin DUNIA dijangka datang ke sidang kemuncak iklim minggu ini di Ibu Pejabat PBB, penunjuk perasaan berkumpul untuk membina momentum untuk perubahan.

Sidang kemuncak itu dijangka menangani isu-isu berduri yang diadakan semula rundingan pada masa lalu, seperti pembahagian tanggungjawab antara ekonomi dan butiran maju dan membangun mengenai pemotongan pengeluaran bagi setiap negara.

"Kami mahu menjadi lebih berdaya tahan dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim. Kita mahu membina sebuah gerakan, "Drew Curtis daripada akar umbi Kempen Power kami dikatakan RT.

"Mereka tidak boleh melakukannya semata-mata," kata beliau pemimpin DUNIA, sambil menambah bahawa di luar sidang kemuncak antarabangsa, kerajaan perlu bekerjasama dengan masyarakat tempatan untuk memastikan dasar dilaksanakan dengan efektif.

Walaupun tumpuan adalah kepada isu-isu alam sekitar yang berskala besar seperti pelepasan karbon, ramai orang keluar untuk meningkatkan kesedaran bagi per-kara-perkara yang lebih khusus: saluran paip minyak Keystone XL yang dica-dangkan melalui Amerika Syarikat dan Kanada, bencana nuklear Fukushima, dan cari gali minyak Rusia di Artik .

People journeyed from across the world to attend the march, including those from countries that are considered to be on the front-lines of climate change. One Filipino protester described seeing an entire beach disappear thanks to rising waters, and groups from the Dominican Republic, Africa, and multiple South Asian countries were also present.

Some Americans, meanwhile, traveled from all over the country to take part in the largest of the roughly 2,700 events coordinated throughout the globe. Among the demonstrations staged across 150 countries, some of the most notable were in London, where over 40,000 people turned up, and Melbourne, where the biggest rally in Australia attracted about 20,000 activists.

As the sea of demonstrators weaved through Manhattan, chants of “We want clean air” and “Power to the people” roared among the crowd.

With 120 world leaders expected to come to a climate summit this week at the United Nations HQ, demonstrators rallied to build momentum for change. The summit is expected to tackle prickly issues that have held back negotiations in the past, such as the division of responsibilities between developed and developing economies and details regarding emission cuts for each country.

“We want to be more resilient in the face of climate change. We want to build a movement,” Drew Curtis of the grassroots Our Power Campaign said to RT.

“They can’t do it alone,” he said of world leaders, adding that outside of interna-tional summits, governments need to work with local communities to ensure policies are implemented effectively.

While the focus was on grand-scale environmental issues like carbon emissions, many people came out to raise awareness for more specific matters: the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline through the US and Canada, the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and Russian oil exploration in the Arctic.

Acara ini juga menarik pelbagai politik, keadilan sosial, dan pertubuhan agama. Walaupun Vokal New York biasanya berfungsi utk menggalakkan nasib golongan miskin, dipenjarakan, dan mereka yang terjejas oleh HIV/AIDS, ahli lembaga Bobby Tolbert berkata kumpulannya adalah "bersatu untuk memerangi perubahan iklim."

"Kami berharap mereka boleh mempunyai perubahan minda," katanya kepada RT, merujuk kepada ketua-ketua antarabangsa negara. "Kami berharap mereka mula melabur dalam orang lebih daripada syarikat-syarikat, yang menggunakan kuasa dan pengaruh mereka untuk mendapatkan keuntungan [dengan mengorbankan] orang."

The event also attracted a wide array of political, social justice, and religious organizations. Although Vocal New York typically works to promote the plight of the poor, the incarcerated, and those affected by HIV/AIDS, board member Bobby Tolbert said his group is “united to fight against climate change.”

“We hope they can have a change in mindset,” he told RT, referring to international heads of state. “We hope they start investing in people rather than corporations, who use their power and influence to gain profit [at the expense of] people.”

Sementara itu, beberapa kumpulan agama bersatu di bawah Jangka Antara Agama, menonjolkan hubungan antara ciptaan Tuhan dan tanggungjawab manusia untuk memastikan ia masih dijaga. Sebelum perarakan, yang Reporter Katolik Kebang-saan menulis bahawa "perubahan iklim adalah No 1 isu pro-kehidupan gereja."

"Kami telah berjanji untuk bertindak dengan harmoni dengan semua penciptaan. Perubahan iklim terutamanya mencederakan orang miskin "dan spesies terancam planet, kata Sister Mary Pendergast, pengarah ekologi daripada Sisters of Mercy Komuniti Timur Laut.

Tetapi tidak kira apa sahaja pergerakan ke hadapan perhimpunan itu boleh mem-bina untuk sidang kemuncak iklim hari ini, kemajuan sebenar pada satu perjanjian antarabangsa dijangka tidak akan berlaku sehingga tahun depan, pada 2015 Per-sidangan Perubahan Iklim di Paris, Perancis.

Namun, Pendergast katanya berharap pencapaian itu adalah mungkin, kerana setakat ini, "Apa yang kami lakukan adalah bercakap."

The New York perarakan dianjurkan oleh 350.org, sekumpulan tekanan yang diketuai oleh Rang Undang-Undang McKibben, salah satu daripada nenek moyang perubahan iklim aktivisme yang menulis ikonik 1989 jilid ini, "End of Nature."

Meanwhile, multiple religious groups united under the Interfaith Contingent, highlighting the link between God’s creation and humanity’s responsibility to ensure it remains cared for. Prior to the march, the National Catholic Reporter wrote that “climate change is [the] church's No. 1 pro-life issue.”

“We have pledged to act in harmony with all creation. Climate change is primarily hurting the poor” and the planet’s endangered species, said Sister Mary Pendergast, the ecology director of the Sisters of Mercy’s Northeast Community.

But regardless of whatever forward movement the rally can build for Tuesday’s climate summit, real progress on an international treaty is not expected to take place until next year, at the 2015 Climate Change Conference in Paris, France.

Still, Pendergast said she hopes such an achievement is possible, because so far, “All we’ve done is talk.”

The New York march was organized by 350.org, a pressure group headed by Bill McKibben, one of the forefathers of climate change activism who authored the iconic 1989 tome, "End of Nature."
