“Call It Democracy”
Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality
Who render rage a necessity
By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament -
The only response to the deification
I'm not saying Long Island Congressman Steve Israel is involved in the Mafia, the way Staten Island Congressman Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm is. Israel, not exactly a brain surgeon, is far more subtle than Grimm will ever be-- which doesn't take much. Remember, in his very first meeting with Speaker John Boehner after being elected, Grimm, a violent criminal, insisted Members be allowed to pack heat on the House floor.

Despite cuts, NATO still accounts for most of world’s military spending
By Slobodan Lekic
Despite impending cuts in the armed forces of many of its member nations, NATO remains by far the largest military force in the world, outstripping any potential rivals in terms of numbers and defense expenditures, according to annual statistics released by the alliance.
The geopolitical tensions arising between China and its smaller neighbors are complex. There are ways to mitigate them and ways to exacerbate them. For the U.S., however, it’s a much simpler question.
Next in the list of misrepresentations by Mann and his lawyers is their inclusion of the Government Response to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee as an investigation that “investigated” and “exonerated” Mann personally. This takes the total of such misrepresented investigations to four (out of the four that I’ve thus far examined).

Hitlery got in too early (unlike Jeb Bush) and she has taken a pretty good beating so far in the media / social media. The reason she got in was to get these attacks in early. Yep… A well know tactic that puts all the dirt “behind” a candidate, so when it comes up during the actual “selection” process; they can say that that issue(s) was already discussed and lets move on….. Also: She has most of the money now to set up a strong run in 2015.

Who What Why

Israel’s legislative branch, known as the Knesset, passed a controversial bill into law that defines 1948 Christian Palestinians as “non-Arabs”, Israeli media reported.
The international debate over what is happening in Ukraine is a partisan one. Some criticize Russia for nefariously seeking to keep Ukraine in its orbit. These folks denounce the Ukrainian government and security forces for their corruption and violence against protesters. Others accuse the West – the U.S. and the European Union – of meddling in internal Ukrainian affairs. These folks condemn the violent thugs in the street hurling rocks and starting fires.
No longer trusting what they read and see and hear, people in western democracies are questioning as never before, particularly via the internet. Why, they ask, is the great majority of news sourced to authority and its vested interests? Why are many journalists the agents of power, not people?The post The cyber guardians of honest journalism appeared first on BSNEWS.

Mainstream opposition leaders have failed to earn a popular mandate from the majority of the population, or to secure the confidence of most Venezuelan citizens during the Latin American country’s elections. Failing to win any of Venezuela’s presidential elections or most of the South American republic’s parliamentary, regional, or municipal elections in the last fifteen years, the leaders of the mainstream opposition are now resorting to color revolution tactics and a Ukraine-style disruption strategy.
This is a purely military-centric game – the logic of the whole mechanism ultimately decided in Washington, not in Brussels. It’s about NATO expansion, not ‘democracy’. When neo-con State Department functionary Victoria Nuland had her 15 seconds of fame recently, what she actually meant was “We’re NATO, F**k the EU.” No wonder there will be an urgent NATO Defense Ministers meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, centered on Ukraine.

Sad when cowardly Democrats bend over backwards to play the dipshit bipartisan game with always ill-intentioned Republicans. And it never pays off… at least not for Democrats. In the video above, Alan Grayson explains the "misconception that the best way to elect more Democrats is to have them run as Republicans." It's Steve Israel's basic philosophy as DCCC chairman. And Grayson, wisely, warns, "that's just wrong… Voters deserve a choice. They deserve an honest answer to their questions and they deserve an actual choice on the ballot.

It is so sad to see that the Jewish controlled media in the once great United States of America is right now filling American minds with absolute drivel and useless garbage..
