Iceland may be a small country, but when it comes to dealing with big problems it is truly the modern equivalent of David in the battle against the status quo Goliath. First, it was Iceland, and only Iceland, refusing to bail out its banks, when every other western nation was being held hostage by those who stood to lose the most from a financial collapse, and even going so far as throwing some of its banking executives in prison. And now, as MBL reports, Iceland's conservative Independence Party will support a resolution in parliament to formally withdraw Iceland's application to join the ...

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris, the Moroccan-born mayor of a Dutch city delivered a compelling message on live television to fellow Muslims who don’t appreciate the “freedoms” of living in the west: “Pack your bags and f*** off.” A British newspaper reports the story this week that includes a video of the incredible broadcast unlikely to be covered by the ultra-politically correct mainstream media in the United States. It features the Muslim mayor of Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second-largest city, blasting Muslims who don’t appreciate all the great perks of living in the west. The delivery is in Dutch but includes English subtitles, ...
Mummy Mask May Reveal Oldest Known Gospel [Full Thread]

A text that may be the oldest copy of a gospel known to exist — a fragment of the Gospel of Mark that was written during the first century, before the year 90 — is set to be published. At present, the oldest surviving copies of the gospel texts date to the second century (the years 101 to 200). This first-century gospel fragment was written on a sheet of papyrus that was later reused to create a mask that was worn by a mummy. Although the mummies of Egyptian pharaohs wore masks made of gold, ordinary people had to settle for masks made out of papyrus (or linen), paint and glue. Given how expensive papyrus was, people often had to reuse sheets that already had writing on them. ...

Ukraine crisis: Booby-trapped honey jar explodes, killing Ukrainian soldier as fighting continues Posted earlier today at 7:06am An elderly man pretending to bring Ukrainian troops a jar of honey turned out to be an attacker in disguise, with the gift exploding and killing a soldier, a local official says. The incident occurred at a checkpoint in the country's war-torn east on Friday, with a new wave of fighting between government forces and pro-Russia rebels having wracked the area in recent days. The man identifying himself as a local resident in Stanicya Lugans'ka in the Lugansk region handed the soldiers a three-litre jar of honey and thanked them for their service before ...

Rebels Claim to Have Control of Ukraine Airport By ANDREW ROTH and ANDREW E. KRAMERJAN. 16, 2015 MOSCOW — Leaders of a Russian-backed rebel movement in eastern Ukraine claimed on Friday to have captured the Donetsk city airport, a symbolically important and long-sought prize, although central government officials denied this was the case. A senior leader for the rebels, the pro-Russian Donetsk People’s Republic, described the fight as the start of a new offensive to push Ukraine out of the east. Despite a cease-fire that was signed on Sept. 5, the sides have fought in the rubble of the airport terminals for months. The rebels have repeatedly claimed to have captured the site, ...

Dozens held across Europe in Islamist suspect sweeps PARIS/VERVIERS, Belgium Fri Jan 16, 2015 11:23am EST (Reuters) - Belgian, French and German police interrogated dozens of Islamist suspects on Friday as much of Europe remained on heightened security alert after last week's killings in Paris and raids in Belgium in which two gunmen were killed. In Paris there was a fresh scare when a gunman took several people hostage at a post office in a northwestern suburb. A siege ended when he gave himself up to police. No one was hurt. Authorities said they could not confirm whether the incident was related to terrorism. Belgian police questioned 13 suspects and France held two people on ...

BEIJING — Chinese police have arrested more than 60,000 people and seized more than 11 tons of drugs in a three-month nationwide crackdown, according to officials. The "100-day campaign" from September to Decmber was part of intensified crime-fighting operations ahead of next month's Chinese Lunar New Year. China's top anti-drug official said the mass arrests had "sown terror" among drug criminals, according to a report Thursday in China's state-run newspaper Legal Daily. Liu Yuejin told the newspaper that he had called on China's police officers to use "unprecedented strength" and "extraordinary measures" in the operation. ...

Russia's financial crisis may bury Putin's Eurasian dream By Andrei Makhovsky, Dmitry Solovyov and Margarita Antidze MINSK/ALMATY/TBILISI Wed Jan 14, 2015 6:40am EST (Reuters) - Growing damage from Russia's financial crisis on neighboring former Soviet states could bury President Vladimir Putin's dream of creating an economic union to rival the United States and European Union. From Belarus on the European Union's fringe to Kazakhstan on the border with China, some of those once firmly in Moscow's grip are now questioning whether Russia has what it takes to lead. While some, such as Belarus, have been forced by the economic blowback from Russia to devalue their ...

At a welcoming banquet in Japan in the 1980s, Ford Motor chairman Philip Caldwell received a memorably double-edged compliment. “There is no secret about how we learned to do what we do, Mr. Caldwell,” said the head of Toyota Motor, Eiji Toyoda. “We learned it at the Rouge.” Toyoda was referring to Ford’s fabled River Rouge production complex in Dearborn, Michigan. In the early days of Japan’s rise, Ford and other American auto companies had been famously helpful to information-gathering Japanese engineers. Know-how gleaned at the Rouge evidently proved particularly valuable. Similar stories can be told about the complacency of other U.S. industries in the ...

For anyone who sees the world from an East Asian standpoint, recent sex accusations against Britain’s Prince Andrew pack a special punch. Here we have Britain’s long-time Special Representative for International Trade and Investment accused of having sex with an underage girl. Although Andrew has consistently denied the allegations, already by 2011 he was sufficiently embarrassed by mere rumors (before his name was officially mentioned in court documents in Florida) that he resigned his special trade representative job. The girl, identified as Jane Doe #3, was allegedly introduced to him by American fund manager Jeffrey Epstein. A mysterious former Bear Stearns options trader, ...

Driven by a need to appear proactive, and a taste for power, government officials once again exploit a murderous incident to increase their authority over us. Following on last week's terrorist attacks in France, the British government has dusted off a long-sought "snooper's charter"—better known as the Data Communications Bill—to ease the power of officials to track people's private communications. "It is too soon to say for certain, but it is highly probable that communications data was used in the Paris attacks to locate the suspects and establish the links between the two attacks," Home Secretary Theresa May told Parliament. "Quite ...

Following the recovery of the two “black boxes” aboard the crashed AirAsia Flight QZ8501, a story on Yahoo! News reports that “Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar were the last words [the pilots] said before they died.” AirAsia Flight QZ8501, a flight out of Surabaya, Indonesia and bound for Singapore, took off early Sunday December 28, 2014 in what can only be described as violent weather. The pilots, amidst the storm, radioed in, asking air traffic control for permission to turn left and climb to a higher altitude to avert the storm. A little while later, the plane crashed into the Java Sea, taking the lives of all 162 of its crew and passengers on board. Search teams began ...

Yemen's al-Qaida claims Paris attack, vows more violence CAIRO (AP) -- Yemen's al-Qaida branch on Wednesday confirmed it carried out last week's deadly assault on a French satirical newspaper to avenge cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, as it called for unity among jihadi ranks and vowed more attacks on the West. In an 11-minute video posted on the group's Twitter account, Nasr al-Ansi, a top commander of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, said the attack on the office of the Charlie Hebdo weekly -in which two gunmen massacred 12 people - was in "revenge for the prophet." He warned of more "tragedies and terror" in the future, saying "you ...

(CNN)One military wife recalls staying up all night and deleting every Facebook picture of her children, every post that mentioned them or where they went to school. She Googled herself, trying to figure out how easy it would be to find where the family lived. In the morning, she went to her car and scraped the military decal off the front window. As the spouse of a Special Forces soldier, she's always tried to be conscious of how much she advertises that she and her three young children are a military family. "It's hard because I am so proud of what my husband does, but lately so many spouses that I know are actually scared that they could be targets of ISIS or someone who ...

Personally, I’m so sick and tired of hearing how Islam is a “religion of peace” and how it is tolerant and all the taqiyya nonsense it spews. Last year, Pamela Geller covered Asia Bibi’s plea to Pope Francis as she sits on death row, awaiting to be hanged for insulting Muhammad, and her insult was even greater than that of Charlie Hebdo. Asia Bibi is in Pakistan and under Sharia law, she was convicted of the crime of blasphemy and sentenced to be hanged in 2010. She is a wife and also a mother to five children who desperately want their mother to come home. In the CNN report below, you can hear the report of how she came to be where she is. She is a Christian, and ...

Greek Orthodox leader ties Christian persecution in Middle East to poor military planning by Karen L. Willoughby | 06 January, 2015 BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Christian Examiner) -- Poor planning led to the rise of extremists in the Middle East, says Thomas Zain, vicar-general of the Antiochian orthodox Archdiocese of North America. Now, "the cat's out of the bag," Zain said in a Fox News special report on the persecution of Christians in the Middle East. "We've tried to overthrow governments -- we meaning the West, U.S., whoever -- without thinking ahead to what the countries will look like after we remove the governments," Zain explained to Harris Faulkner, a Fox ...
