Amina Taylor | Press TV | October 14, 2014 The family of Mark Duggan –the man whose death sparked the UK riots in 2011 – have lost their bid to have the inquest verdict that ruled his death ‘lawful’ overturned. Lawyers acting for the Duggan family had argued that the coroner had blundered in his […]
RT | October 14, 2014 US sanctions against Russia can be considered as economic terrorism, said acting Bolivian President Evo Morales in an interview to RT. He also revealed his secret job aspiration. “This [US sanctions against Russia] is genuine economic terrorism. The country that thinks it can dominate the world is making a mistake,” […]

Concerns are growing that we are heading for another banking crisis, one that could be far worse than in 2008. But this time, there will be no government bailouts. Instead, per the Dodd-Frank Act, bankrupt banks will be confiscating (or “bailing in”) their customers’ deposits.

By Moon of Alabama During the last years U.S. president Obama talked a lot about energy independence: In his fifth State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Barack Obama celebrated the efforts his administration has made to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while also praising recent increases in domestic oil and gas production.Obama said early in his address that there […]
Sooner or later the US and EU will realize that they need Russia’s help. And when they finally figure that out, they’ll work together to reach a comprehensive political agreement. Right now, they’re more preoccupied with punishing Putin (through economic sanctions and political isolation) to prove that no one can defy the Empire. But that kind of bullying behavior won’t change the reality on the ground.

IN THE TRADITION OF ORWELL, BRADBURY, AND HUXLEY
COMES A STORY THAT ALL LIBERTARIANS, CONSERVATIVES, AND LIBERALS MUST READ
Ruled by the evil White cockroaches, on an oppressive plantation, Anton Indigo, Antrea Violet, and a thousand other ants escape to seek freedom on Ant Farm. When they arrive, although their lives are not utopian, the tiny insects find themselves with much more freedom and prosperity than ever before.
In 2006, Blue America backed Tom Udall, a congressman from New Mexico when he ran for the Senate. He was an excellent congressman and he's been a good, solid, progressive senator. We didn't back his less progressive cousin, Mark Udall, a congressman from Colorado running the same year, also for the Senate. We weren't against him and we hoped he'd been right-wing extremist Bob Schaffer-- which he did, 1,230,994 (53%) to 990,755 (42%). 3 weeks from today, both are up for reelection. Tom doesn't have much of a contest against Republican Allen Weh. It's unlikely Weh will even crack 40%.

No single review or interview can do justice to Pay Any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War – the new book by James Risen that is the antithesis of what routinely passes for journalism about the “war on terror.” Instead of evasive tunnel vision, the book offers big-picture acuity: focusing on realities that are pervasive and vastly destructive.

War might force IS to retreat, but the jihadists’ idea will grow for as long as the US continues supplying oxygen to regenerate bacteria in a cesspool replenished by Western double standards. IS and JS share the same philosophy, the only difference is their point of reference.

By “insane” I don’t mean that they’re aberrations from the Israeli norm. Just that in polite western society (not Israel, of course) these people would be viewed as nutcases and ignored. Only in […]

This video explains why Israel has NOT got the right to defend itself against the people it has made prisoners of war in a conflict that Israel started in 1948.
Killing Palestinians it has kept imprisoned in Gaza for seven long years is a war crime.
No nation on the planet has the right to kill its prisoners of war, whether war has been formally declared or not. And no Geneva Convention nor United Nations Resolution has ever promulgated such a ridiculous idea.
By Alastair Sloan | MEMO | October 13, 2014 There is good news and bad news of late for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. On the one hand, companies such as Veolia, willing partners in the occupation, are losing out on mega-contracts. Despite plans to withdraw from Israel, the French company just lost a […]

Ma’an – 14/10/2014 NABLUS – Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque in the Nablus-area village of Aqraba overnight, locals said.

Blue America helped raise money and awareness for Annie Kuster when she ran last cycle. We’re not supporting her again, not because she doesn’t have a horrible opponent— she does— but because she also has a horrible voting record. Soon after getting elected, Kuster quit the Congressional Progressive Caucus and joined the Wall Street-owned New Dems. He voting record is UGLY— really ugly, and we’re ashamed that we got taken in by her.

In my last column, I discussed Benjamin Netanyahu’s proclivity to deceive, cheat and lie. During my research, however, I came across an article by Israeli journalist Amira Hass, who had a different take on the issue.

One tear gas grenade was also thrown directly at ISM activists documenting the military violence. […]

We are also told of general catastrophes and a succession of deluges, of the alternation of periods of repose and disorder, of the refrigeration of the globe, and of the sudden annihilation of whole races of animals and plants, and other hypotheses, in which we see the ancient spirit of speculation revived, and a desire manifested to cut, rather than patiently to untie, the Gordian knot. – Charles Lyell
President Barack Obama’s claim that he doesn’t need congressional authorization for his current war in Iraq and Syria is troubling. The country’s founders would pass out upon hearing his claim that the post-9/11 congressional approval of force in 2001 against the perpetrators of those attacks and their abettors and the congressional resolution approving George W.

Upon accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, newly elected President Obama humbly claimed that he was unworthy of such an honor, stating: "to say that force is sometimes necessary isn’t a call to cynicism, it’s a recognition of history, the imperfections of man, and the limits of reason [emphasis added]." In recent weeks, Obama […]
At least 133 people were killed and 173 were wounded in Monday's string of bombings and strikes against the Islamic State militants. In the capital, bombers attacked Shi'ite neighborhoods during the Eid al-Ghadeer observances.
It took long enough— and let’s hope it isn’t too little/too late— but Harry Reid and Guy Cecil finally responded to the growing anger, primarily from Democratic senators and donors, and have let the DSCC get to work in South Dakota. Above is their first ad against one of the three Republicans, Mike Rounds (the GOP Establishment favorite), being going up against Rick Weiland. DSCC polling shows its a winnable race.
I have come under fire (nothing new for me) for the last article I put up linking to Jim Stone's important revealing information that this new "Ebola outbreak" is a massive fraud…. I have been looking over so many websites over the last few days that show increasing evidence that we are all being played as fools for the sick goal of having us subjected to new "vaccines" that will do NOTHING to fight this fraud "Ebola pandemic" that the criminals in our governments have been planning.

Video of (fake) beheading, purged from you tube….
ANTWERP, BELGIUM — The Islamic State on Sunday posted the third installment of what it says will be a seven-part video series featuring British hostage John Cantlie that raises anew the issue of when the videos were recorded.
In the new posting, Cantlie references the videotaped murder of British aid worker David Haines, which was posted to the Internet Sept. 13, but makes no reference to the beheading of another aid worker, Alan Henning, whose murder-video was posted Oct. 3.
