Suicide bombers staged two major attacks today. Although most of the recent bombings took place in Baghdad, today's significant attacks took place outside the capital. At least 33 people were killed and 71 more were wounded across Iraq. Twelve of those killed and 37 of those wounded were Iranian pilgrims traveling to visit holy shrines in Iraq.

 Started on this post this morning but wanted to wait on the expected/suspected response to news below-Yesterday we were supposed to ‘believe’ that Ban Ki Moon was scrambling for peacekeeping replacements for Golan...Of course, that is not a  believable  narrative.

FISA Court Chief Judge Reggie Walton objects to the characterization of his court as a “rubber stamp” that will approve literally anything. Even though they approved an order to spy on every goddamn phone call in the United States.

Foreign Secretary William Hague stopped short of issuing an apology today to the elderly Kenyans tortured by British colonial forces during the Mau Mau uprising.
The Mau Mau movement emerged in central Kenya during the 1950s to get back seized land and push for an end to colonial rule. Supporters were detained in camps and thousands were tortured, maimed or executed.

Pro-Palestine campaigners have staged a protest at the annual meeting of shareholders of disgraced security firm G4S in London, calling for an end to the firm’s Israeli prison contracts.

Just because the whole world seems to be talking about closing Guantanamo Bay prison — not to mention the President of the United States — doesn’t mean it’s going to happen any time soon. Not if congressional Republicans have anything to do with it.

The bombshell dropped by Glenn Greenwald and the Guardian has exploded any pretenses to being the linchpin of American liberalism Barack Obama may have retained until this point.

Periodically I do receive email and comments at this blog saying that I could increase my viewership by simply opening both a "Twitter" and a "Facebook" account.... I have said to these people, thanks but no thanks... My own research over the last few years alone has shown conclusively that a "Twitter" account is much too dangerous because governments are keeping all information on both "Twitter" account users, and their "Tweets" which could come back eventually to haunt the person posting them...

I have been very happy this last week for the proud people of Syria... Their government forces have the murderous US/Israeli bought and paid for "rebels" (mercenaries) on the run, and they are rightfully defeating them at every major battle now...

It has been a very long time since I put up any articles or videos about Israel's murderous attack on American, September 11th, 2001.   I am truly amazed that now almost 12 years after that fateful event, most Americans are still in the dark about the facts that America's so called "ally", the criminal state of Israel, along with its Sayanim Jewish agents operating in America itself, committed one of the most horrendous murderous attacks in all human history...

A few days ago Chris Hayes interviewed (above) Alex Smith, national Chair of the College Republican National Committee, an arm of the NRC. He found it interesting that her group spent a great deal of money on an indepth survey and analysis that basically proves her party is alienating young voters at a faster and faster rate. Not just alienating them-- but making them positively loath the party.
