Iran has rejected as unfounded a report by The Wall Street Journal on its nuclear energy program.
On Tuesday, the US newspaper cited a report by the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) as saying that Iran “has kept active and intact its core team of weaponization researchers.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Iran’s diplomatic mission at the United Nations condemned the report as a fabrication.
The US doesn’t want peace in Ukraine — it wants control. So now that the situation there has largely blown up in their face, it’s not unreasonable to suspect them of fomenting more unrest in an attempt to change momentum. Monday’s ruthless attack by the Ukrainian government in Donetsk in which up to 100 people […]
There were plenty of important statements from Pope Francis during his recent three-day trip to Palestine and Israel – including a plea for “justice,” a traditional call for peace, and a reference to the “State of Palestine” – but at the end of the day it was all about the photo-ops. The pope’s visit was […]
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the Platonic Ideal of a government entity, at least in these United States. TSA is oppressive, it subjects people to indignities, and its paranoid goal of keeping us safe from terrorists is being done – by most accounts – very poorly indeed. Okay, perhaps it’s not unique. Still, in […]
With heart-pounding suspense, John le Carre-like intrigue and Jeffersonian fidelity to the principles of human freedom, Glenn Greenwald has just published No Place to Hide. The book, which reads like a thriller, is Greenwald’s story of his nonstop two weeks of work in May and June of 2013 in Hong Kong with former CIA agent […]
Washington’s role in the coup d’etat in Kiev on Feb. 22 has brought the U.S. a Pyrrhic victory, with the West claiming control of Ukraine albeit with a shaky grip that still requires the crushing of anti-coup rebels in the east. But the high-fiving may be short-lived once the full consequences of the putsch become […]
Although Anbar was unusually quiet today, attacks picked up in Mosul and Baghdad. In one gruesome attack in the east, two children were kidnapped before being murdered. At least 94 people were killed and 116 were wounded.
In the segment above, Rachel Maddow put into context Richard Burr's deranged attack on American veterans groups. A politicized lawnmower salesman who avoided military service himself, Burr claims to be a distant relative of Aaron Burr, who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. This Burr is also the ranking Republican on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, not the Senate Lawnmower And Small Appliances Committee.

TweetSo we find that France controls 50% of the worlds water. Ghadafi required that his great man made river belong to Libya and the Libyan people. He refused to let the rest of the world control it. Now since the illegal invasion and attack on Libya, FRANCE is now rebuilding and re designing the Great man made River, the Libyan people will suffer not only the cost of design and construction but will bear the weight of the expensive water.

Plus: There's "fox news" at Foggy BottomOh, for Pete's sake! Is there some kind of substance-abuse problem in the DWT Photo Archives? What I asked for was insignia or something to illustrate a rear admiral -- like, you know, snazzy insignia or something. I didn't think I had to specify for a U.S. Navy rear admiral. But this is clearly a Star Trek rear admiral pin.
Yup, it 's about Syria.... and the election. Coming up in a little less then a week. Have you noticed the coverage? In the NATO media? Of course, it is all negative. To quote the BBC "A parody of democracy"Unlike that laughable election in the Ukraine.
By Michael Hoffman It has seldom been the case where this writer has been embroiled in a serious debate with someone and that person continues to exhibit good will and integrity toward us. Such equanimity constitutes Christianity in action, as opposed to Christianity as palaver.

The median pay package for a chief executive officer (CEO) in the United States rose above $10 million for the first time in 201, according to a new Associated Press/Equilar pay study, while worker pay stagnates.
A typical American CEO at an S&P 500 company earned a record $10.5 million in 2013, an increase of 8.8 percent from $9.6 million in 2012, the study showed.
Bill and Beverly Young, tireless advocates for veteransRepublicans and their Hate Talk Radio echo chamber have worked for years and years to demonize Nancy Pelosi, the first woman Speaker of the House of Representatives, an accomplished political leader and icon every American should be proud of, regardless of disagreeing with her on some issues (as I do-- and as I am).

Audio
The Obama administration’s decision to keep thousands of US troops in Afghanistan until the end of 2016 is a “violation of Afghanistan’s sovereignty” and “against the will” of the country’s people and government, an anti-war activist in Chicago says.

There's a reason Elizabeth Warren is concerned that Scott Brown is trying to make a comeback-- no matter how far fetched by running against centrist Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, who is up in every single poll so far.
What a feather in the Zionist cap! A Catholic pope honouring Herzl the Zionist atheist! Francis’ rabbi friend, Abraham Skorka was spot on when he noted that it ‘could be understood as a nod to Zionism’. It was much more than a nod. For the gleeful Netanyahu gang, it was an imprimatur on the expansionism of Greater Israel negating Francis’ two-state solution.

Living in Canada, I have had to tread carefully in my articles when it comes to the criminality of the Jews and especially their criminally psychotic state of Israel. Few Canadians still know that in 1974 on behalf of the Jewish B'nai B'rith and the Canadian Jewish Defense League the Canadian Government passed "hate crime" laws that made it a criminal offense to criticize or even question the most unholy Jewish "holocaust" of the second World War. Those laws were passed in Parliament in Ottawa without the vast majority of Canadians being made aware of their passage! With these draconi
Only when Mark Carney, Christine Lagarde and Prince Charles start talking about the abolition of privately created debt-based money should we even begin to take them seriously. Of course such an affront to the obscenely wealthy would have seen even Prince Charles ejected from the Mansion House soiree.
