The terrorist group known as Daesh, “Islamic State,” ISIS or ISIL has threatened to behead President Barack Obama and turn the United States into a Muslim province, installing sharia law and incorporating America into its fledgling caliphate. “Know, oh Obama, that we will reach America. Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House and transform America into a Muslim province,” said an ISIS fighter in a video obtained by MEMRI, before beheading a Kurdish soldier. The statement was delivered from a street in Mosul, Iraq, which ISIS fighters have taken and where U.S. Marines formerly battled Al Qaeda. The video accuses Kurdish peshmerga forces of using ...
Now is the time for a quick U.S. de-intervention in Yemen

Winston Churchill once said that the Lord always looks after drunks and the United States of America. And though we hardly deserve it, Providence may have again stepped into the breach and given the United States a second chance to take advantage of a hard, murderous, but very real opportunity in the Middle East. The overthrow of the Yemeni government sets the stage for a Sunni-vs-Shia conflagration on the Arab Peninsula. The late Yemeni regime is a zero loss to the United States. What President Obama once described as a vital regional ally – media pundits are now echoing this lie – was nothing more than a Arab strong man and his gang who ruled the Yemeni capital of Sana and ...

During Barack Obama's recent State of the Union speech, he told America he had no more campaigns to run. But it seems that statement flies in the face of reports that an organization known as “One Voice” has brought in what has been called a "five-man Obama team" to defeat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Included in that five-man team is Jeremy Bird, the national field director for Obama's 2012 campaign, Dr. Aaron Lerner, Director of the Independent Media Review and Analysis, said Monday, citing a report at Haaretz. That group, Dr. Lerner added, will run the anti-Netanyahu effort out of offices taking up the ground floor of a Tel Aviv office building. ...

First lady Michelle Obama’s face was reportedly blurred by Saudi state television Tuesday as she and the president met with new Saudi King Salman in Riyadh. The new Saudi king shook hands with President Obama at the Erga Palace but did not acknowledge the first lady at all during a brief aside at the funeral for King Abdullah, Bloomberg View reported. Mrs. Obama did not wear a head scarf during the funeral, as is custom for any woman appearing in public in Saudi Arabia. Visitors to the kingdom are not required to abide by its strict dress code, but the first lady was still criticized on social media by Saudis using the hashtags #Michelle_Obama_Immodest and ...

NASA today confirmed images relayed to Earth by the Mars Rover are, indeed, a Titleist golf ball. Scientists were happy to report that the mystery of the golf ball has been solved, and that there’s a logical explanation for it. ”When the image of the golf ball was released, internet rumors ranged from golf playing aliens to the Mars Rover mission being a NASA hoax filmed here on Earth. I’m happy to report we have solved the mystery of the golf ball found in the Gabrielle Crater on Mars,” said Lead Mars Rover scientist Carl White. “The golf ball is none other than the one Alan Shepard hit off the lunar surface in 1971 during the Apollo 14 mission.

Russia accuses Poles of 'mockery of history' over Auschwitz BY VANESSA GERA Associated Press January 22, 2015 WARSAW, POLAND — Russia has accused Poland of engaging in a "mockery of history" after the Polish foreign minister credited Ukrainian soldiers, rather than the Soviet Red Army, with liberating Auschwitz 70 years ago. The exchange underlines the deep tensions between Russia and Poland, which is hugely critical of Russian actions in Ukraine. Those strains are casting a shadow over the 70th anniversary commemorations of the liberation of the Nazi death camp, which will be held Tuesday in Poland. Poland has apparently snubbed Russian President Vladimir ...

In 2014 Russia unloaded block-modules on Wrangel Island and Cape Schmidt for the construction of military camps. The complex is being erected in the form of a star. (Moscow Times) In May 1881 US explorers approached Jeannette Island, Wrangell Island and Henrietta Island in the Arctic Ocean and claimed them for the United States. But according to the Obama Department of State no claim exists today over these US islands. In fact the State Department is conspiring with Russian President Putin to give away Wrangell Island to Russians. Wrangell and its 200 mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has billions of barrels of oil/gas reserves and hundreds of millions of pounds of fisheries. It also has ...

........snip..........The years of delay nourished a clutch of conspiracy theories, but the official version of events and motives has been set for so long that few expect Owen to turn up any surprises, despite his repeated resolutions to undertake a “fair and fearless” inquiry. UK public opinion has largely tired of the story, dismissing it as just another example of Kremlin thuggery. Yet the gaps and inconsistencies that have been pointed out by some of those lumped with conspiracy theorists are fundamental to documenting, if not actually explaining, what happened. The most glaring, seen as the key to any inquiry by the US investigative author, Edward Jay Epstein, among others, ...

Emergency vehicles surround the southeast corner of the White House complex after a drone was found on the lawn early Monday morning. WASHINGTON — A small drone flying at low altitude crashed into the White House complex before dawn Monday, the Secret Service said. President Barack Obama was not at home and the White House said it did not pose a security threat. The crash prompted an immediate lockdown of the White House grounds until officials could examine the drone. The Secret Service said the 2-foot-long device was a quadcopter — a small, unmanned aircraft that is lifted by four propellers. “An investigation is underway to determine the origin of this commercially ...
Who is Sajida al-Rishawi? And why does ISIS care about her?

(CNN)She's remembered as the would-be bomber whose device failed to detonate in a string of otherwise deadly terror attacks at Jordanian hotels in 2005. But just who is the woman supposedly named in the latest hostage demand from ISIS? And what's her connection to the new radical Sunni group that controls big swaths of Syria and Iraq? Sajida al-Rishawi is referred to as an "imprisoned sister" of the terrorist group in a message purportedly posted online by a known ISIS supporter. The message proposes a swap of al-Rishawi for Japanese hostage Kenji Goto. In the video, Goto is seen holding a photo of what appears to be beheaded compatriot Haruna Yukawa. The online ...

The White House strongly denies a report that U.S. counterterrorism operations with Yemen have been suspended. “The political instability in Yemen has not forced us to suspend counterterrorism operations,” National Security Council spokesman Alistair Baskey told Fox News. “We will continue to take action to disrupt the continuing, imminent threats to the United State and our citizens.” Earlier Friday, the Washington Post reported the Obama administration has been forced to suspend counterterrorism operations in the county. The paper, citing U.S. officials, reported that Shiite rebels now control Yemeni security services that provided much of the intelligence that ...

Following the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that France “is at war with terrorism, jihadism and radical Islamism.” This tells us what France is fighting against. But what is France fighting for in this war on terror? For terrorism is simply a tactic, and arguably the most effective tactic of the national liberation movements of the 20th century. Terrorism was used by the Irgun to drive the British out of Palestine and by the Mau Mau to run them out of Kenya. Terrorism, blowing up movie theaters and cafes, was the tactic the FLN used to drive the French out of Algeria. The FALN tried to assassinate Harry Truman in 1950 at Blair House, shot up the House ...

Poor Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute (RPI). What did he do? He posted a naughty article in which were written some Bad, Bad Things that even consenting adults apparently shouldn’t be allowed to read or discuss. The column, written by Paul Craig Roberts, asserted that the Charlie Hebdo shootings had the earmarks of a professional hit job and that the suspects Cherif and Said Kouachi could have been patsies. McAdams titled the article, “Charlie Hebdo Shootings: False Flag?” This made it clear that no implied assertion was being made by McAdams or Ron Paul that the shootings were a false-flag operation. LRC ran the column with a similar question ...

President Barack Obama will not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the latter's controversial March 3 visit to Washington, the White House announced Thursday, saying a meeting could be perceived as an attempt by the administration to influence Israel's March 17 elections. "The president will not be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu because of the proximity to the Israeli election, which is just two weeks after his planned address to the U.S. Congress," National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in a emailed statement. “As a matter of long-standing practice and principle, we do not see heads of state or candidates in close ...

Chaotic Retreat Follows Ukrainians’ Withdrawal From Donetsk Airport By ANDREW E. KRAMER and RICK LYMANJAN. 22, 2015 DONETSK, Ukraine — The ruins of the once gleaming and modern Donetsk airport, site of near relentless fighting in recent days, finally fell on Thursday to pro-Russian rebel forces who then paraded captured Ukrainian soldiers through the streets of the embattled city. The airport, which had been claimed by both sides, is nonfunctional, the terminal and runways having been destroyed months ago. Nonetheless, it has retained high symbolic value in the continuing hostilities as the government’s last toehold in the city, the largest in the contested territory of ...

Now that Cuba and the United States have unexpectedly decided to renew diplomatic relations, many are asking - what's next? After five decades of cold war isolation, will the Cuban people experience new opportunities, including new religious freedoms? The questions began after President Barack Obama's surprise announcement last December. "Today the United States of America is changing its relationship with the people of Cuba," the president said. "In the most significant changes in our policy in more than 50 years we will end an outdated approach that for decades has failed to advance our interests, and instead, we will begin to normalize relations between our two ...

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The White House voiced its displeasure at the invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address to a joint session of Congress on February 11, focusing on Iran and radical Islam. White House press secretary Josh Earnest called the invitation by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, "a departure from diplomatic protocol." "The typical protocol would suggest that the leader of a country would contact the leader of another country when he's traveling here," Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to an event in Idaho. Boehner, in turn, told reporters it's well within congressional protocol to invite a speaker without ...

(Reuters) - A Saudi journalist and a member of the royal family denied rumors on Thursday that King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, in hospital since December suffering from pneumonia, had died, according to messages on social media. Markets keep a close eye on the health of the king of the world's top oil producer, a country that also has influence over Muslims through its guardianship of Islam's holiest sites. King Abdullah, who took power in 2005 after the death of his half-brother King Fahd, is thought to be 91, although official accounts are unclear. He has undergone surgery in the past few years related to a herniated disc. "All that is being reported about King Abdullah's ...

China will build a 7,000-kilometer high-speed rail link from Beijing to Moscow, at a cost of 1.5 trillion yuan ($300 billion CAD), Beijing’s city government said on the social networking site Weibo. The rail line seeks to facilitate travel across Europe and Asia, Beijing’s municipal government said Jan. 21 in a post on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter. The journey from Beijing to Moscow would take “two days” on a route passing through Kazakhstan, the post said. The proposed rail line comes as Russia’s economy struggles to recover from the fall in the price of crude oil and as relations with the U.S. and Europe deteriorate over the Ukraine conflict, and as ...
