U.S. Urges Greece to Reject Russian Energy Project

The United States, wading into the international efforts to shape Greece’s economic and geopolitical orientation, is pushing the leftist government in Athens to resist Russia’s energy overtures. A State Department envoy in Athens urged Greece on Friday to embrace a Western-backed project that would link Europe to natural gas supplies in Azerbaijan, rather than agree to a gas pipeline project pushed by Moscow. The dueling sales pitches, reminiscent of a Cold War struggle, come as debt-burdened Greece is desperate for new sources of revenue of the sort that a gas pipeline could bring. In an interview in Athens on Friday, before meeting with Greek officials, the State Department ...

That day, Army buck private Sam Rumore was heading south in battle-ravaged Germany heading for a “repo depot,” after landing at Bremerhaven. “I didn’t see any combat,” Rumore told the Herald/Review. But what he saw was what Hitler and his Nazi henchmen ended up doing to Germany, causing the allied powers to lay waste to the Third Reich, which Hitler had once boasted would last a ...
The GOP And The Trans-Pacific Partnership: On a Fast Track to National Ruin

In the first quarter of 2015, in the sixth year of the historic Obama recovery, the U.S. economy grew by two-tenths of 1 percent. And that probably sugarcoats it. For trade deficits subtract from the growth of GDP, and the U.S. trade deficit that just came in was a monster. As the AP’s Martin Crutsinger writes, “The U.S. trade deficit in March swelled to the highest level in more than six years, propelled by a flood of imports that may have sapped the U.S. economy of any growth in the first quarter.” The March deficit was $51.2 billion, largest of any month since 2008. In goods alone, the trade deficit hit $64 billion. As Crutsinger writes, a surge in imports to $239 ...

The Associated Press DEB RIECHMANN May 7th 2015 2:55PM Senate Sails Through Iran Nuclear Bill WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate muscled its way into President Barack Obama's talks to curb Iran's nuclear program, overwhelmingly backing legislation Thursday that would let Congress review and possibly reject any final deal with Tehran. The vote was 98-1 for the bipartisan bill that would give Congress a say on what could be a historic accord that the United States and five other nations are trying to finalize with Iran, which would get relief from crippling economy penalties. The lone no vote came from freshman Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who wants the administration to submit any ...

But in the sense that neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can whither the Russian economy. At least that is Vladimir Putin’s view. Speaking at a Labor Day ceremony on May 1 in Moscow, Putin said Russia has proven it can weather the storm of sanctions, civil war in Ukraine and falling oil prices. “The country’s movement forward has always rested on the shoulders of those who take responsibility onto themselves, who understand that their personal efforts and the fruits of their labor ...

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro directed a cocaine operation inside the United States and killed the general who helped aid its operation so he could cover his own fingerprints, says Castro's former bodyguard.The New York Post printed an excerpt Sunday from the book "The Double Life of Fidel Castro" in which Juan Reinaldo Sanchez describes the day in 1988 when he realized his hero was not everything he thought. Sanchez, who often recorded meetings with Castro from a nearby office, was told not to do so on a day when the president met with Interior Minister Gen. José Abrantes. Bored after watching the lengthy meeting on a video screen, Sanchez turned on the sound and ...

CERN and the Nepal Earthquake…

Here’s a conspiracy theory up for your consideration… This video is titled “7.8 Quake Strikes as CERN Powers Up Beams.” By “as,” the narrator means at the exact moments a huge beam spike happened in CERN which caused a multiple system protection beam dump at the facility, Nepal’s deadly earthquake and aftershocks hit. Not around the same time; at the same time. This and other data presented on this YT channel has caused some to question whether or not CERN has the insane power to effect the boundary between Earth’s magnetic field and the solar wind, otherwise known as the magnetopause.
Will Iran Attempt To Seize Control Of Saudi Oilfields?
Post Date: 2015-04-28 09:45:02 by Tooconservative

IN 1976 an investment banker turned adventure novelist, Paul Erdman, penned a best-selling thriller, The Crash of ’79. Center to the plot was the Shah of Iran making a grab for the oilfields of the Arab Middle East, with a well-armed military, thanks to rising oil prices. Of course, barely 24 months later the Shah was ousted by radical Islamists, who subsequently bled the country white in a bloody and futile eight-year war with Iraq. Oil prices crashed after Ronald Reagan took office, and all thoughts of an Iranian version of a Nazi blitzkrieg disappeared. Well, if Erdman were still alive (he died in 2007), he could write a very plausible updated version of his novel, with—very ...

Rabbi Warns of Civil War in the United States The Riminov Rebbe visited the Florida communities made up of South American immigrants from France, gave an unequivocal command to the Jews to leave and go to Israel, saying that there will be a civil war in the US. BeHadrei Haredim reported that the Rebbe said: “Leave while you still can. The situation will get worse and it will be difficult to move from state to state. After World War II the survivors came to the great men of Israel and Hasidic leaders and asked why they had not ordered the Jews of Europe to leave and immigrate to Israel or the United States before the war broke out? The truth must be told: they said and how much they ...

Let’s get this straight: Saudi Arabia is Al Qaeda. If there was any doubt about that, the Kingdom’s invasion of Yemen makes it plain as day. The Los Angeles Times reports: “A brazen territorial grab by Al Qaeda militants in Yemen – together with a $1-million bank heist, a prison break and capture of a military base – has given the terrorist group fundraising and recruitment tools that suggest it is following the brutal path blazed by Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. “Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which was long forced into the shadows by US drone strikes and commando raids, has taken advantage of the growing chaos in Yemen’s multi-sided ...

On Christmas Eve, religious police in the capital city of the Islamic Sultanate of Brunei ordered business owners to remove Christmas decorations or face arrest. When Brunei, a tiny oil-rich fiefdom that shares the island of Borneo with Malaysia and Indonesia, adopted Shariah law earlier this year, some questioned whether the harsh penal code that includes amputation and stoning for blasphemy and other crimes would actually be enforced since a third of Brunei’s population is not Muslim. The crackdown on Christmas this year answers the question. Restaurant and café owners in Brunei’s capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan told reporters they were ordered to remove Christmas ...
Gaddafi’s Revenge: Europe Can Save Africans From Drowning—Or Itself From Being Swamped

This is a stupidly dangerous exercise–if the crossing was legal, the boat owner would go jail for endangering his passengers. As many as 1200 Africans have drowned in the Mediterranean in the last ten days trying to immigrate illegally into Europe, and the European Union, the United Nations, and the global Main Stream Media have been quick to declare solutions and scapegoats. The scapegoats: Europeans who don’t want their countries overrun with Third World immigrants. Thus U.N officials have already dismissed the plan put together by European leaders on Monday: The U.N. statement on Thursday called on Europe to begin a “robust, proactive and well-resourced” search ...

For a month now, the Saudi air force has been bombing Yemen to reverse a takeover of that nation of 25 million by Houthi rebels, and reinstall a president who fled his country and is residing in Riyadh. The Saudis have hit airfields, armor and arms depots, and caused a humanitarian catastrophe. Nearly 1,000 dead, 3,500 wounded and tens of thousands homeless. The poorest nation in the Arab world is near collapse. Dependent upon imported food, Yemen faces malnutrition and starvation. And the United States has been an accomplice in the Saudi bombing of Yemen. Why? Why is Yemen’s civil war America’s war? What did the Houthis ever do to us? While they bear us no love, their ...
“Fast Track” And Trade Policy: Obama’s Republican Collaborators

The GOP swept to victory in November by declaring that this imperial presidency must be brought to heel, and President Obama’s illicit seizures of Congressional power must end. That was then. Now is now. This week, Congress takes up legislation to cede His Majesty full authority to negotiate the largest trade deal in history, the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, and to surrender Congress’ right to amend any TPP that Obama might bring home. Why the capitulation? Why would Republicans line up to kiss the royal ring? Is Middle America clamoring for “fast track”?

How the fall of Qaddafi gave rise to Europe's migrant crisis (+video) Under Qaddafi, Libya worked closely with Europe to harshly stem the flow of migrants across the Mediterranean. But the country's chaos has upended that. Two horrible tragedies in or at least near Libya: Up to 800 migrants trying to reach Europe from Africa die after their boat sinks off the coast, and 30 migrants are murdered by the so-called Islamic State on the shore in the troubled country.Libya's chaos has once more made it a major way station for Africans seeking a better life, as the European Union grapples with the morality of cutting back on patrols to rescue migrants. The argument for doing less is ...

A U.S. aircraft carrier has been dispatched to waters off Yemen to join other American ships prepared to block any Iranian shipments to the Houthi rebels fighting in Yemen. The U.S. Navy has been beefing up its presence in the Gulf of Aden and the southern Arabian Sea amid reports that a convoy of about eight Iranian ships is heading toward Yemen and possibly carrying arms for the Houthis. A Navy official confirmed to Fox News that the USS Theodore Roosevelt -- along with her escort ship, the USS Normandy, a guided-missile cruiser -- left the Persian Gulf on Sunday en route for the Arabian Sea, to help enforce the blockade. Tensions are rising in the region even as the U.S. and five ...

Keith Preston notes: “Vladimir Putin’s name is known throughout the world. Alexander Dugin’s name, not so much. But to people in the know, Alexander Dugin is a very important name, as the Russian public intellectual says what Putin thinks. The Agenda examines the man who has been called “Putin’s brain.” From 1917 to 1991, Russia was ruled under the oppressive scientistic rubric of Marxism/Leninism. Perhaps Putin the traditionalist is seeking both a return to Russia’s roots and a new geostrategic vision for Eurasia free of American imperial hubris and arrogance. Nevertheless it is important to objectively assess Alexander Dugin and his impact in shaping ...
