Russia Slams Calls To Use Force In Syria

Russia hit out Friday at calls for force to be used after Syria's opposition and European states accused the war-torn country's regime of killing hundreds in chemical weapons attacks. US President Barack Obama said the alleged use of chemical weapons was "a big event of grave concern," as Britain accused Damascus of unleashing the weapons and France called for "force" if the claims were confirmed. As the regime's allies and foes traded barbs, UNICEF said one million children have fled Syria in what the UN children's agency called a "tragic milestone" in the 29-month conflict. Opponents of President Bashar al-Assad said his forces used ...

Saudi Arabia Promises to Aid Egypt’s Regime

CAIRO — Saudi Arabia has emerged as the foremost supporter of Egypt’s military rulers, explicitly backing the violent crackdown on Islamists and using its oil wealth and diplomatic muscle to help defy growing pressure from the West to end the bloodshed in search of a political solution. As Europeans and the United States considered cutting cash aid to Egypt, Saudi Arabia said Monday that it and its allies would make up any reduction — effectively neutralizing the West’s main leverage over Cairo. With Egypt’s economy in free fall, the country’s authorities might not have survived international outrage at a crackdown that has left as many as 1,000 dead and 4,000 ...

The domestic partner of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, who reported classified information leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, was detained at Heathrow Airport over the weekend and interrogated for 9 hours. UK authorities detained Greenwald's partner, David Miranda, while he was en route from Berlin to Brazil. They held him under an anti-terrorism law, which allows them to detain and question anyone for any reason without stating the cause. Authorities also "confiscated" Miranda's laptop, smartphone, memory sticks, camera, and game ...

Gabby Williams is 8 years old and has not aged because of a “mysterious condition” that keeps her trapped in an infant’s body. Mary Margaret Williams, Gabby’s mother, explained that her daughter has not changed much since she was born. Williams said: “She has gotten a little longer and we have jumped into putting her in size 3-6 month clothes instead of 0-3 months for the footies.” Mainstream television played a documentary based on Gabby in 2011; which also featured a 40 year old man who still resembles a 10 year of child. A woman in Florida has retained her childhood appearance, and a 31 year old Brazilian woman looks like a toddler. Gabby’s story ...

The Great Nation of Egypt Has Told The Evil Empire And Its Jihadist Terrorist Proxies: Go To Hell, And Take Al-Qaeda With You! In his statement on recent events in Egypt, President Obaaama said, "America cannot determine the future of Egypt. That’s a task for the Egyptian people. We don’t take sides with any particular party or political figure. I know it’s tempting inside of Egypt to blame the United States or the West or some other outside actor for what’s gone wrong." Not a word in that statement is true. Washington has taken sides in Egypt and the Arab world. It is on the side of terrorism, extremism, and global Jihadism. Washington took sides when it ...

"Sire, clear the square with gunfire or abdicate." That was the message one of his generals gave the young czar Nicholas I in December of 1825, as thousands of civilians and soldiers massed in Senate Square to challenge his claim to the throne. Nicholas gave the order, the cannons fired, and he and his heirs ruled Russia for another century, until Nicholas II was overthrown, and murdered by Bolsheviks. Such was the moment Egypt's army faced on Wednesday, with thousands of backers of the Muslim Brotherhood encamped in Cairo, challenging its rule. The slaughter that ensued, 500 dead the first day and thousands wounded, means there is no going back. The die is cast. The ...

The culture war has gone global. And the divisions are not only between, but within nations. “Suddenly, homosexuality is against the law,” wailed Jay Leno. “I mean, this seems like Germany. Let’s round up the Jews. Let’s round up the gays. … I mean, it starts like that.” Leno was speaking of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Obama eagerly agreed: “I have no patience for countries that treat gays or lesbians … in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them. … Nobody is more offended than me by some of the antigay and lesbian legislation that you’ve been seeing in Russia.” Leno and Obama were referring to a new Russian law ...

(CNN) -- Bloodshed exploded Saturday throughout Iraq as at least 64 people were killed and 190 wounded in a wave of bombings that came amid Eid festivities marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, two Interior Ministry officials told CNN. The violence in Iraq came as Muslims celebrated the recent completion of Ramadan's monthlong fasting. It followed a July that was the bloodiest in five years, when violence between Sunnis and Shiites -- both Muslim sects -- spun out of control. Saturday's death toll included reports by Baghdad police that at least 22 people were killed and more than 40 others wounded after eight car bombs exploded in Shiite neighborhoods. In Tuz Khurmatou, ...

The "young mother who is in good health" has put out the advertisement targeting gay couples. The 29-year-old has caused a stir in France following the proposal as the European nation is divided over the gay marriage bill, which was passed earlier this year amid protests. The advertisement has been posted under the username "cecelia232" on the e-loue.com website.

Is the North American Union a Figment of the Conspiracy Theorist’s Imagination?

Is the North American Union a Figment of the Conspiracy Theorist’s Imagination? On August 4th, Tim Brown posted an article in which Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) noted that the NSA referred to “The Homeland,” which according to her meant, The United States, Mexico, and Canada. This is interesting, but why would the NSA refer to North America like this? We know that NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) was first discussed between David Rockefeller and Bill Clinton as early as 1991, when Clinton “attended his first Bilderberg meeting at Baden-Baden, Germany in 1991. There, David Rockefeller told Clinton why the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was a ...
Unmasking the embassy threat

There is one thing certain about the publicized threat to our embassies; it is not what it is presented to be. To accept the official explanation of a nebulous threat from al Qaeda as the reason for closing our embassies across the Middle East and North Africa is being dangerously naive and simplistic. This is much more serious than what we are being told, but not for the reasons we are being given. We are seeing the consequences of a long running “Cold War” on two major fronts of political conflict that could escalate into military engagement with proxy nations of world super powers. The world, and life as we know it, could change in an instant should we awaken one morning to ...

Putin Shows Global Mojo to Russians as U.S. Fumes Over Snowden

Russian President Vladimir Putin is showing his gamesmanship on a global stage by giving his voters what they want with the asylum granted to ex-U.S. contractor Edward Snowden, while leaving the White House flustered. The decision is backed by almost twice as many Russians as those against it and those who view Snowden’s role as positive outnumber negative assessments three to one. While the case risks derailing U.S.-Russian relations, it gives Putin a chance to rally support at home and deflect attention from his own human-rights record, said Gleb Pavlovsky, a former Kremlin adviser who heads the Effective Policy Foundation in Moscow. “Domestically, he got what he can,” ...

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been granted temporary asylum in Russia and is allowed to enter the country’s territory. The whistleblower has been granted temporary political asylum in Russia, Snowden's legal representative Anatoly Kucherena said, with his words later confirmed by Russia’s Federal Migration service. “I have just handed over to him papers from the Russian Immigration Service.

According to it, Snowden is free to stay in Russia until at least July 31, 2014. His asylum status may be extended annually upon request. With his ...
Manning Faces Lifetime In Jail, While The Wrongdoers He Exposed Are Free

from the something's-not-right dept With Bradley Manning found guilty on numerous counts, some are pointing out that it seems odd that he exposed so much law breaking by representatives of the US... and none of those people are facing any jail time, whereas Manning is facing life in prison. Some have tried to argue that Manning's leaks didn't reveal any abuse, and thus he's not a whistleblower. This is false. Both Greg Mitchell and Peter Walker at the Guardian have published details of things that we learned via Manning's leaks, including some serious lawbreaking by the US. Just a snippet from the Guardian: In October 2010 came a series of revelations about events in ...

FORT MEADE, Md. — A military judge Tuesday acquitted Pfc. Bradley Manning of aiding the enemy — the most serious charge the Army intelligence analyst faced for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified military reports and diplomatic cables. Manning was convicted on all but one of the lesser charges considered by the judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, in connection with the website WikiLeaks’s receipt of the largest breach of classified material in U.S. history. The suspense at Tuesday’s five-minute-long court martial session was limited because Manning previously pled guilty to at least portions of 10 of the 22 counts he faced. Also restraining the drama was the absence of ...
