The airstrikes ordered by President Barack Obama have begun to degrade the Islamic State (ISIS), but will not be capable of eradicating the militant group unless Syrian President Bashar Assad is overthrown, say Arizona Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, the two Republicans say that the current strategy of dealing with “ISIS first” may unintentionally bolster the Assad regime which the United States has long said must come to an end.   Continue reading “McCain, Graham: Remove Assad to Defeat ISIS”

A handwritten letter penned by Eric Frein has been found in the Pennsylvania woods as police continue to scour the area looking for the accused cop shooter, authorities said today.

Details in the letter lead police to believe it was written by Frein, who’s been on the run since Sept. 12.

The note offers no motive for the shooting death of Cpl. Bryon Dickson and the wounding of another trooper when Frein allegedly ambushed the Blooming Grove police barracks, a law enforcement official familiar with the case told ABC News   Continue reading “Eric Frein’s Handwritten Note Found During Manhunt: Police”

Oct 6 (Reuters) – Former Treasury Secretary Henry “Hank” Paulson told a packed courtroom on Monday that AIG shareholders were singled out for punishment as part of the U.S. government’s attempt to contain the contagion of the 2008 financial crisis.

The testimony from Paulson appeared to bolster some claims contained in a lawsuit brought by former AIG Chief Executive Hank Greenberg, who contends the terms of a government loan to AIG cheated its shareholders.   Continue reading “Ex-Treasury Secretary Paulson says AIG bailout was punitive”

Will the crazy GMO-creations ever come to a halt? Are our crops not enough for biotech? GM mosquitoes developed by Oxitec, a UK company, were already released in other countries as a means to control disease. The company is also trying to release them in the Florida Keys, while working to release GM olive flies in Spain. But it gets even more bizarre – now Oxitec wants to release GM moths in New York.

GeneWatch UK has been following Oxitec’s moves and has noted that the company’s GM experiments have not undergone environmental assessment risks at all. The company is a spin off from a multinational seed company, with deep ties to Syngenta. Oxitech claims to be in the business of pest control, but another theory is that they are in the business with other eugenicists for pest creation.   Continue reading “First GMO Mosquitoes: Now Oxitec Wants to Release GMO Moths in New York”

A clandestine grave on the outskirts of a Mexican city where police clashed with student protesters a week ago contained 28 bodies but the remains are too damaged for immediate identification, state officials said.

Guerrero State Prosecutor Inaky Blanco said he could not say whether any of the dead could be some of the 43 college students reported missing after the violent confrontation in Iguala, located about 120 miles south of Mexico City.   Continue reading “Mexico officials claim 28 mutilated bodies found in mass grave”

BLOOMING GROVE Pa. (Reuters) – Searchers found an assault rifle and ammunition hidden in the woods on the ninth day of a massive hunt for a man suspected of attacking two Pennsylvania state troopers, killing one of them, police said on Sunday.

Police said they believe they are closing in on Eric Frein, 31, who they describe as a survivalist, in a rugged area of forests, boulders and caves in the Poconos Mountains of Pennsylvania, where he could easily hide from heat-seeking sensors in helicopters.   Continue reading “Searchers Say Closing In On Pennsylvania Police Shooter Suspect”

BATR – by SARTRE

Many pundits have presented the case that society needs to reward the achiever. It is argued that the most talented should attain positions of authority, based upon their superior ability. The end result is the formation of a power structure of Elite’s; making the decisions, formulating policies and directing the organizations that carry out the plan. It is most difficult to quarrel with the notion that talent is not distributed equally, but it becomes a giant leap to conclude that the very attribute of aptitude, is the sole criteria that justifies positions of authority.    Continue reading “Mediocrity of the Meritocracy”

ONR autonomous swarm boatDefense Systems – by Kevin McCaney

Navy researchers have achieved a breakthrough in autonomous technology, developing a “swarming” system that employs multiple unmanned boats working together to escort ships, patrol harbors or confront adversaries.

Developed by the Office of Naval Research, the Control Architecture for Robotic Agent Command and Sensing, or CARACaS, system can, for the cost of several thousand dollars, turn just about any boat into an unmanned vessel, according to Rear Adm. Matthew L. Klunder, chief of Naval Research.     Continue reading “Navy puts autonomous ‘swarmboats’ into action”

Call of Duty Director Says U.S. Should Station Soldiers in SchoolsBloomberg – by Josh Eidelson

Dave Anthony, former writer and director for the megahit video game franchise Call of Duty, wants the U.S. government to explore stationing soldiers in schools.

“The threat now, the invasion, comes from within,” Anthony said Wednesday at a forum hosted by the Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington where he is a fellow in international security. Anthony said the soldiers could operate like air marshals on commercial flights. “Imagine the concept of something like a ‘school marshal,’” he said. “Now these guys are U.S. soldiers who are in plainclothes, whose job and part of their responsibility is to protect schools.”   Continue reading “Call of Duty Director Says U.S. Should Station Soldiers in Schools”

Exxon Mobil says Ebola disrupts drilling offshore LiberiaProactive Investors Australia

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), the world’s biggest energy company which has operations in Nigeria and Liberia, fluctuated between gains and losses after saying some of its oil and gas activities in West Africa have been disrupted by the Ebola outbreak, including plans to drill offshore Liberia, the country worst affected by the spread of the disease.

Shares were up 0.4 percent at $93.70 at 2:30 p.m. in New York.

“We had some drilling plans for some blocks offshore West Africa in Liberia,” the company’s chief executive officer, Rex Tillerson, told a news conference yesterday.  “We are having to look at when it would be prudent to resume operations there because you do have to have shore-based support.”   Continue reading “Exxon Mobil says Ebola disrupts drilling offshore Liberia”

The U.S. jobless rate declined to a six-year low of 5.9 percent in September and employers in the U.S. added more workers than projected, signs of more vigor in the labor market that will help sustain faster economic growth.

The 248,000 gain in payrolls followed a 180,000 August increase that was bigger than previously estimated, the Labor Department reported in Washington. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey called for a 215,000 advance. The unemployment rate fell to the lowest level since July 2008 from 6.1 percent.   Continue reading “Jobless Rate in U.S. Falls to 5.9%, Lowest Since July 2008”
