Iranian nuclear facilities have reportedly been attacked by a “music” virus, turning on lab PCs at night and blasting AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” Mikko Hypponen, Chief Researcher at Finnish digital security firm F-secure, publicly released a letter he received from an unnamed Iranian scientist. The researcher, who claimed to work for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said that another virus has struck the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran and a secret underground research facility at Fordo, southwest of Tehran. The letter’s author reported that the virus shut down equipment (made by Germany’s Siemens Corporation) and automated ...

Carter Accuses U.S. Government of Human Rights Violations Written on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 by Tad Cronn You know liberals really hate you when President Jimmy Carter accuses you of human rights violations. That sort of complaint from the former president is usually reserved for use against Republicans in the middle of wars. This time, however, the country’s “best ex-president” (and aren’t we all glad) vented his spleen at President Obama. The president whose term was marked by the Iran Hostage Crisis and an economy that popularized the term “malaise,” yet who won a Nobel Peace Prize for finding solutions to international crises and promoting economic ...

A wave attacks in Baghdad and north of the capital killed 91 people in Iraq’s deadliest day in more than two years after Al-Qaeda warned it would mount new attacks and sought to retake territory. Officials said at least 172 people were wounded as a result of 21 different attacks mounted in 13 cities, shattering a relative calm which held in the lead-up to the start on Saturday of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. In Monday’s deadliest attack, a string of roadside bombs and a car bomb, followed by a suicide attack targeting emergency responders, in the town of Taji killed at least 42 people and wounded 40 others, according to two medical officials. “I heard ...

BBC News today reported that “two blind British men have had electronic retinas fitted”. Chris James, 54, and Robin Millar, 60, took part in a clinical trial coordinated by Oxford University and funded by the National Institute of Health Research. Both men have retinitis pigmentosa, a rare hereditary condition that causes gradual deterioration of the light-detecting cells in the retina, which can lead to blindness. The electronic retinas are implants containing light detectors designed to replace the lost light-detecting cells. Immediately following the procedures, when the implants were switched on, both men were able to detect light and are now beginning to use their restored ...

JAIPUR, India — Ramjee Lal Kumhar and his bride, Mamta, first laid eyes on each other inside a billowing wedding tent festooned with garlands of marigolds. He was 11 years old. She was 10. Their families had arranged the marriage. The couple delighted their parents by producing a son when they were both 13. They had a daughter 2½ years later. To support the family, Ramjee gave up his dream of finishing school and opened a cramped shop that sells snacks, tea and tobacco on the muddy road through his village. At 15 and finally able to grow a mustache, Ramjee made a startling announcement: He was done having children. "We cannot afford it," he said, standing with arms ...

Spain: Horse Destroys Muslim Illegal's Face After He Tries to Have Sex With It The animal kingdom joins the Counterjihad. A few weeks ago, in Almeria, on the Spanish coast just across from Africa, a North African illegal turned up for emergency treatment at Torrecárdenas hospital. Some of the bones of his face had been smashed in and he had suffered multiple hematomas. Later it emerged that the Muslim had suffered these injuries while visiting a farm in El Ejido, intending to have sex with a horse there. But the horse had other ideas. It brutally kicked the lovelorn Muslim in the face. It seems the farmer had caught the same Muslim twice before sneaking into the farm to have ...

'I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living hell': Teen faces jail time after lashing out on Twitter and naming the boys who sexually assaulted her A 17-year-old sexual assault victim is facing a jail sentence for tweeting the names of her attackers in anger at their light punishment. Savannah Dietrich named and shamed the boys on the social messaging site, writing: 'There you go, lock me up. I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.' The Louisville, Kentucky teen told The Courier-Journal she was frustrated by what she feels is a lenient deal for her attackers.

The French Academy, founded by Richilieu, restored by Napoleon, populated by 40 self-styled “immortals,” decides which words are to be officially recognized as French and which are to remain terms of slang, argot or jargon, from whence they came. Of course no one can put words in anyone’s mouth so this prestigious institution is limited to an advisory role and frequently not followed in cases where the people are using terms imported from English and won’t abandon them for the newly coined words given them by the immortals. Israel has a similar institution called The Academy of the Hebrew Language and its decisions are binding on government. What happens is that many ...
Syria Moves Chemical Weapons Before Wider Offensive: Defector

(Reuters) - A senior Syrian military defector said President Bashar al-Assad's forces were moving chemical weapons across the country for possible use in a military retaliation for the killing of four top security officials. "The regime has started moving its chemical stockpile and redistributing it to prepare for its use," said General Mustafa Sheikh, citing rebel intelligence obtained in recent days. "They are moving it from warehouses to new locations," he told Reuters in an interview in southern Turkey, close to the Syrian border. "They want to burn the country. The regime cannot fall without perpetrating a sea of blood." Syria's 16-month ...

Seventy-three people have been prosecuted for violating new anti-gay legislation imposed in Russia’s former imperial city Saint Petersburg four months ago, police said Friday. The law which punishes public homosexual and paedophile “propaganda” with fines of up to 500,000 rubles (12,800 euros/$15,600) has been criticised by human rights activists as homophobic. “Seventy-three people have been prosecuted for homosexual propaganda and one person for paedophile propaganda,” Saint Petersburg police chief Sergei Umnov was quoted as saying by his press service. No details were given on the offences or the sentences imposed. The law was promoted by the ruling United ...

These incredible landscapes look as if they have been painted in the sweeping pastel brush strokes of an impressionistic artwork. But in fact these remarkable pictures show the actual scenery of Danxia Landform at Nantaizi village of Nijiaying town, in Linzhe county of Zhangye, Gansu province of China. Formed of layers of reddish sandstone, the terrain has over time been eroded into a series of mountains surrounded by curvaceous cliffs and unusual rock formations.

Beijing - Russia has detained 36 Chinese fishermen and seized two ships for entering an exclusive economic zone in its far eastern Primorsky region, China's state news agency Xinhua reported on Tuesday. Xinhua cited the Chinese consulate in the port city of Vladivostok as saying that one ship was detained at the port of Nakhodka, and the other ship was heading there. A Russian coast guard vessel fired warning shots and then opened targeted fire to stop one of the ships, a trawler that had been fishing for squid, Xinhua said, citing Russia's RIA Novosti news agency. None of the Chinese fishermen were killed or wounded during the incident, according to RIA. The two ships were ...
China’s GDP Hit Tells Story of Hubris Run Amok

The lesson from recent economic data and policy moves in Asia (MXAP) is this: Hubris still has its costs. In recent years, Asia believed its own press a little too much. The way it steered around the financial crisis of 2008, the dizzying stock gains, the migration of bankers from New York to Hong Kong and the region’s mergers-and-acquisitions binge were all interpreted as immutable signs of Asia’s economic arrival. Decoupling-from-the-West euphoria flooded emerging markets in general. The BRIC economies -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- thought their rapid growth rates would pick up the slack as America and Europe reeled. Debt markets in developing nations reveled in their ...
Portugal Decriminalized All Drugs Eleven Years Ago And The Results Are Staggering

On July 1st, 2001, Portugal decriminalized every imaginable drug, from marijuana, to cocaine, to heroin. Some thought Lisbon would become a drug tourist haven, others predicted usage rates among youths to surge. Eleven years later, it turns out they were both wrong. Over a decade has passed since Portugal changed its philosophy from labeling drug users as criminals to labeling them as people affected by a disease. This time lapse has allowed statistics to develop and in time, has made Portugal an example to follow. First, some clarification. Portugal's move to decriminalize does not mean people can carry around, use, and sell drugs free from police interference. That would be ...

Moshe Silman couldn’t take it any more. The 57-year-old Israeli father and businessman owns a small shipping and delivery company in Haifa in northern Israel. He did his duty to the state, serving for seven years in the army and fulfilling reserve duty requirements for several years after. He paid his workers, his taxes and his obligations to the country’s national insurance system on behalf of his employees. In the past decade, however, business fell off and Mr. Silman fell slightly behind in his national insurance payments, to the tune of 5000 shekels (about $1,300). For reasons that remain unclear, the state confiscated one of his four delivery trucks, saying it would be ...
Clinton Visits Egypt For First Meeting With Islamist President

CAIRO — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on Saturday in a fresh push to strengthen relations as Egypt enters an unpredictable era in which an untested political Islam is clashing with a secular military over control of the nation. Clinton’s talks with Morsi signaled a stark contrast to the days when U.S. diplomats visited President Hosni Mubarak, a stalwart American partner on countering terrorism and preserving Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel. With Mubarak toppled by popular revolt last year, Washington is recalibrating its approach to a new Islamist president suspicious of American designs on the Middle East. Clinton ...

We are witnessing a seismic shift in global affairs. The shake-up is a perfect storm of political, demographic, and technological change that will soon make the world as we have known it for the last 30 years almost unrecognizable. Since the mid-1980s there have been a number of accepted global constants. The European Union was assumed to have evolved beyond the nation-state as it ended the cycle of militarism and renounced free-market capitalism. With its strong euro, soft power, and nonaligned foreign policy, the EU was praised as a utopian sort of foil to the overarmed U.S. with its ailing dollar. Germany, ostracized after losing two world wars and struggling with the guilt of the ...

The Collapsing US Economy and the "End of the World"

In a recent column, “Can The World Survive Washington’s Hubris,” I promised to examine whether the US economy will collapse before Washington in its pursuit of world hegemony brings us into military confrontation with Russia and China. This is likely to be an ongoing subject on this site, so this column will not be the final word. Washington has been at war since October, 2001, when President George W. Bush concocted an excuse to order the US invasion of Afghanistan. This war took a back seat when Bush concocted another excuse to order the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a war that went on without significant success for 8 years and has left Iraq in chaos with dozens more killed ...

That Makes Sense: Syria Set to Win Seat on UN Human Rights Council Kate Hicks Web Editor, Jul 08, 2012 09:41 AM EST Further proof that the UN Human Rights Council is an utterly farcical waste of our money: a nation guilty of some the most egregious human rights violations is slated to win a seat in 2014. That's right. Syria, come on down! President Bashar Assad’s regime is, however, likely to get a spot on the 47-nation council “due to the prevalent system of fixed slates, whereby regional groups orchestrate uncontested elections, naming only as many candidates as allotted seats,” according to UN Watch. Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, reported that ...

(CNN) -- Mexico's Enrique Peña Nieto called for a "new debate" on the drug war and said the United States must play an important role in that discussion. The presumptive president-elect spoke this week to Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." His comments will air Sunday. "Yes, I do believe we should open up a new debate regarding how to wage war on drug trafficking. Personally, I'm not in favor of legalizing drugs. I'm not persuaded by that as an argument. However, let's open up a new debate, a review, in which the U.S. plays a fundamental role in conducting this review," said Peña Nieto. More than 47,500 ...
Libya’s new rulers fire up Gaddafi’s surveillance tech

Libya's transitional government has quietly reactivated the surveillance technology it inherited from the Gaddafi regime, the Wall Street Journal reports. The technology is been used to track the mobile phone calls and online communications of Gaddafi loyalists. Government officials told the paper that they have seen dozens of phone or Internet-chat transcripts, one of which featured a phone call between Saadi Gaddafi, exiled son of the former dictator, and a supporter inside Libya. Saadi Gaddafi fled to Niger during the course of the civil war that ousted his father. Libya's caretaker government has established created two national-security agencies—Preventive Security and ...

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) are focusingon population control through their Global Health Development Programs. By using citizens in underdeveloped nations, like Africa and India, as guinea pigs for their research and development for “new interventions such as vaccines, drugs and diagnostics”, these globalists hope to ensure their family planning schemes are effective. Melinda Gates has made family planning and the population control agenda her personal mission. She justifies her cause by claiming that 100,000 women die in child birth from unintended pregnancies. Although this statistic has no scientific basis, since it sounds good and mainstream media does not ...
