Nuke Deal Could Allow U.S. To Protect Iran From Israel July 20, 2015 | Allan J. Favish Share this article Ari Yashar of Israelnationalnews.com reports that the Iran nuclear agreement negotiated by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry requires the United States and the other non-Iranian signatories to provide “co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage.” If Israel is about to take military action against Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure and related targets, will the Obama administration use this language in the agreement to claim ...
John Derbyshire On National Suicide: Yes, It Happens—Look At The Xhosas

In my morning trawl through the news websites, I scan the European and British ones with a growing sense of horror. Europe’s crisis of illegal immigration just gets worse. Chilton Williamson, in his recent fine essay Beyond “Immigration” [Chronicles, August 2015] described it as “national and cultural suicide. Such a thing is unknown in the history of the world.” But unfortunately, it’s not quite unknown—something horribly similar happened to the black Xhosa tribe in South Africa in the nineteenth century. But first: Europe. Anyone reading VDARE.com knows about Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel Camp of the Saints, in which a flotilla of boats carrying ...
Greek banks reopen but cash limits remain; taxes soar

Greek banks opened their doors Monday for the first time in over three weeks, a move that the government hopes will help the economy get back to normal following a period dominated by fears over the country's future in the euro. Still, strict controls on the amounts individuals can withdraw remain and new austerity taxes demanded by the country's European creditors mean that most everyday items are more expensive — from coffee to taxis to cooking oil. In downtown Athens, people queued up in an orderly fashion as the banks unlocked their doors at 8 a.m., but restrictions on most transactions remained. Though the daily cash withdrawal limit stayed at 60 euros ($65), the ...
FIVE CHILDREN AMONG 94 CRUCIFIED, FLOGGED AND CAGED BY ISIS FOR ‘EATING DURING RAMADAN’

Syrian Islamic State (IS) supporters have publicly crucified, flogged and caged nearly 100 people accused of breaking the daytime fast observed during the Muslim holy month. UK-based monitor the Syrian Human Rights Observatory (SOHR) yesterday said it had documented 94 such punishment cases for eating in Ramadan, including five children and two old men. Breitbart News previously reported the case of two boys “crucified” for eating in Ramadan on 23 June in Deir ez-Zour. For IS the punishment does not necessarily mean execution by nailing or tying victims to a cross. The group uses crosses and bars to pose dead bodies as a means of terrorising local populations or as a means of ...
Ron Paul Takes on Neocon: 'We've Got a Schizophrenic Foreign Policy'

We’re with the Iranians because we are both fighting ISIS but we’re against the Iranians because they are on the side of Assad. That is why RPI Chairman Ron Paul described our foreign policy as “schizophrenic” in a Newsmax debate on the Iran deal. On the Iran talks, Dr. Paul reminded the viewers that Reagan believed it was important to talk to the Soviets, a regime that had killed far more people than has the Iranians, and to look for ways to reduce weapons proliferation. So why not talk to Iran? Former CIA operative Fred Fleitz, now head of policy at the neoconservative Center for Security Policy, unsurprisingly disagreed, stating that he has no idea what Ron Paul is ...

Via Hot Air, noting Obama is due to welcome Iran into the nuclear club at a presser scheduled for 1pm, also notes they are, as usual, plotting to "win the issue" at the ballot box after deliberately losing the issue in the Congressional roll call:Republicans believe they will win the public relations battle on the deal, which largely unites the GOP and threatens to divide the Democratic Party. Some Senate Republicans are thinking about moving a motion of approval of the deal, believing it would put Democrats in a tough spot ahead of next year’s elections. Such a move in the upper chamber could lead to less than half of the Senate backing the president, allowing for more ...
Greece pledges to get rid of tax evasion as a way of life

Dimitris Bokas keeps meticulous records of the bathroom fixtures he sells from his small shop in the quiet middle-class residential neighborhood of Koukaki near the center of Athens — just in case a tax inspector makes a surprise visit to ensure Greece's 23 percent sales tax is being collected and reported correctly. But Bokas also does installation and repair jobs — and half of those involve cash deals with no receipts for his labor. The result is that a job costing 250 euros ($275) goes for 125 euros because he doesn't charge the client sales tax and Bokas doesn't report the income for taxation. "I've got a receipt for everything I sell in my shop," ...

Can Tsipras still last? Alexis Tsipras said he would likely step down from office if he did not gather the support of more than 121 of his Syriza MPs. Tonight's vote has left him with the support of 124. It's still a very narrow margin that could well provoke a vote of confidence in his leadership. Among the most prominent dissenters are his energy minister, labour minister, and speaker of the House. Watch this space. At they very least, a major reshuffle beckons. 00.13 Colin Freeman reports from Athens: Greek MPs have voted in favour of new austerity measures that will secure a third Brussels bail-out to stave off the threat of bankruptcy. After a tense debate that lasted ...

Russia puts its law above European court rulings 14 July 2015 Russia can avoid implementing European court judgments if they conflict with the Russian constitution, a top Russian court has ruled. Russia is legally bound by the European Convention on Human Rights. But the Russian constitutional court says Russia "can step back from its obligations" if that is the only way to avoid violating its constitution. Russia objects to a European Court of Human Rights demand that it compensate shareholders in former oil giant Yukos. The Council of Europe (CoE), which monitors compliance with the convention and ECHR rulings, voiced concern about the Russian decision. CoE Secretary ...
IMF stuns Europe with call for massive Greek debt relief

The International Monetary Fund has set off a political earthquake in Europe, warning that Greece may need a full moratorium on debt payments for 30 years and perhaps even long-term subsidies to claw its way out of depression. "The dramatic deterioration in debt sustainability points to the need for debt relief on a scale that would need to go well beyond what has been under consideration to date,” said the IMF in a confidential report. Greek public debt will spiral to 200pc of GDP over the next two years, compared to 177pc in an earlier report on debt sustainability issued just two weeks ago. The findings are explosive. The document amounts to a warning that the IMF will not ...

Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission president, discards David Cameron's deal that spares Britain from Eurozone bailouts Britain will be liable for close to £1 billion of emergency loans to Greece, it can be revealed, after Jean-Claude Juncker tore up a “black and white” deal to protect UK taxpayers from Eurozone bailouts. George Osborne, the Chancellor, today attempted to fight off a proposal to raid the EU budget to save Greek banks from financial collapse. Under a plan drawn up in the small hours of Sunday night as leaders wrestled to save Greece from economic collapse, Mr Juncker, the president of the European Commission, wants to revive a mothballed bailout ...

As President Obama's upcoming visit to his father's homeland, Kenya, is nearing, his half-brother is still waiting to be told by Obama about his trip later this month. 'From what I hear, he is coming now as the president of the United States,' said 57-year-old Malik Abon'go Obama during an interview at his home in Kogelo, Bloomberg reported. 'He should have at least informed us as his family.' While his itinerary has been kept secret and the Kenyan presidency has denied that Obama will travel to Kogelo during his July 24 visit, 193 miles northwest of Nairobi, rumors have been sparked that he will make a trip there. During Obama's first time traveling ...

Key points below: IMF involvement PM Tsipras said he didn't want the Fund to be involved in a new rescue after their involvement is set to end in March 2016. However, any new rescue loan from the ESM requires legal involvement from the Fund. Thus: "Greece will request continued IMF support (monitoring and financing) from March 2016."

August will mark ten years since somebody stole a pair of the ruby slippers that Dorothy clicked together three times to get home to Kansas in The Wizard of Oz from The Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Now an anonymous benefactor has stepped forward and offered a million dollar reward to anyone with credible information about the theft, including the exact location of the slippers and the perpetrator’s name. The slippers, designed for the 1939 film by legendary Hollywood costumer Adrian, were stolen from the museum, located in Garland’s hometown, in 2005 and haven't been seen since. John Kelsch, executive director of the museum told the Associated Press that ...

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone countries tried in vain to stop the IMF publishing a gloomy analysis of Greece's debt burden which the leftist government says vindicates its call to voters to reject bailout terms, sources familiar with the situation said on Friday. The document released in Washington on Thursday said Greece's public finances will not be sustainable without substantial debt relief, possibly including write-offs by European partners of loans guaranteed by taxpayers. It also said Greece will need at least 50 billion euros in additional aid over the next three years to keep itself afloat.

How an America-loving country became a jihadi hub Kosovo owes its existence to the West. Its capital even has a statue of Bill Clinton. But even here, Islamic State is taking root. Michael Petrou June 15, 2015 The Western country that has sent the most recruits on a per capita basis to join Islamic State and other militant groups in Syria and Iraq is one that owes its very existence as a state to NATO’s military intervention on its behalf. An April report by the Kosovo Center for Security Studies (KCSS) reveals that as of January, some 232 Kosovars have joined Islamist militant groups in Syria and Iraq, a rate of 125 recruits for every one million people living in the country. ...

SINGAPOREAN A*Star scholarship holder Ouyang Xiangyu, 26, has been kicked out of Stanford University after being charged with four counts of poisoning her lab mates. The school told The Straits Times she is "no longer a student" there, after it initially banned her from its California campus last November. This puts an end to her time at the top United States university, which she once called "a paradise", according to a lab mate who spoke to the police. Ms Ouyang, who is now out on bail, had been a full-time member of the Nusse Laboratory at the department of developmental biology at Stanford University since June last year.

Portugal's Experiment in Drug Decriminalization Has Been a Success

This month, Portugal celebrates fourteen years of drug decriminalization. The grand experiment is now considered a happy success considering it was adopted out of desperation and in the face of dire warnings from proponents of the global drug war. What Led to Decriminalization During the mid-twentieth century, Portugal experienced fifty years of military dictatorship, and when leftist democratic control was reestablished in 1974, many expatriate Portuguese returned to Portugal from its colonies. Of course, many of these people were dissidents, outsiders, and outcasts, and many of them used illegal drugs. Over the next twenty-five years, there was a surge in drug use, drug abuse, ...

For the London Interbank Offered Rate is the benchmark interest rate for trillions in loans around the world. Manipulate Libor a small fraction of a point, and lenders reap millions more in interest income on hundreds of billions in loans. How many more such blows to their credibility can the financial elites sustain before people turn on the ...
