NATO Secretary General discusses collective defence, defence investment and Ukraine crisis in Prague

I was reading the other day that one of the poor, benighted states controlled by Republicans is about to pass a bill allowing for campaign contributions from foreign nationals, not dual citizens like Israeli agents Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, but full blown foreigners with a position they want to see supported in the U.S. Congress.

We recently visited Egypt leading a delegation of lawyers to observe the situation of human rights in that country. We were troubled by what we saw and heard. We are also troubled by the United States’ support for a government installed by a military coup.

The Noahide Laws of "Education Day USA” Rabbi Schneerson's Anti-goyimitic racism and hatred enacted into Federal LawEditor’s Note: In Alison Weir's noteworthy essay (below) she laments the fact that educational books exposing the hatred intrinsic to the Judaic religion are suppressed or sent down the memory hole.

This is the Ultimate dream of a Police State! Lock people up because they don’t “fit” in society, and are “bad machines”. No trial, no Habeas Corpus, no pesky rights at all to get in the way of Lock Up. If your neighbor, family member, boss complains….. You GONE! Getting out is nearly impossible until you convince the authorities that you have conformed.
Be careful what you think! It could be a crime.

Today we talk to Dr. David Healy, a professor of psychiatry and author of over 150 peer-reviewed research papers and 20 books, including his latest, Pharmageddon. We discuss the issue of antidepressants and behaviour modification, including the link between SSRIs and mass shootings.

You know, I barely even care about the hypocrisy of Republicans running on Family Values platitudes and then bonking each other. It's their personal problem and a problem for their stupid base voters who are motivated by that drivel. The Vance McAllister (R-LA) kissing episode, though, has captured the imagination of the public.

at this moment in time, it appears that even if – and that’s a big and very doubtful ‘if’ – the Occupying forces do completely withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, they will continue to kill and maim Afghan children long into the future.

NATO installs an unelected regime in Kiev through a coup d’état against a legally elected government. That is a fact. Yet in the surreal world of Washington and its NATO allies, this fact is inverted into a fictional notion that what happened in Kiev during February was the culmination of «a democratic revolution». Airbrushed from the objective narrative are details such as the new regime arrogating administrative power through a campaign of Western-backed street violence and terrorism, including the fatal shooting of police officers by covert snipers.

ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER: I think that one of the things that we learned when we were trying to get past those common sense reforms last year, Vice President Biden and I had a meeting with a group of technology people and we talked about how guns can be made more safe by making them either through finger print identification, the gun talks to a bracelet or something that you might wear, how guns can be used only by the person who is lawfully in possession of the weapon.

WASHINGTON — The Russian government declined to provide the F.B.I. with information about one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects that would most likely have led to more extensive scrutiny of him at least two years before the attack, according to an inspector general’s report.

I have been watching with disgust the last few days all of the information coming over the alternative news sources about the criminals in the US government now blatantly supplying the murderous mercenary "rebels" in Syria with US anti tank weapons known as BGM-71, or popularly called "TOW".....

Long gone the days when the U.S.-led so-called “Friends of Syria” could plausibly claim that two thirds of Syria was controlled by rebel forces, that Syrian capital Damascus was under siege and its fall was just a matter of time and that the days of President Bashar al-Assad were numbered and accordingly he “should step down.”

Back in the 1980s there was a very, very widespread understanding of what was going to happen if there were a nuclear war. We’ve lost that understanding, by and large. Certainly, in the general population, there is very little understanding about what nuclear weapons can do or even how many there are in the world.
