Accused cop killer Eric Frein described in disturbing detail what it was like when he allegedly shot two state troopers, killing one and injuring another, in a handwritten note found by a police dragnet in the Pennsylvania woods.
Frein, who has been on the run for nearly a month, appears to describe the murder of Cpl. Bryon Dickson in one handwritten letter.
“Got a shot around 11 p.m. and took it. He dropped. I was surprised at how quick,” Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a press conference today, reading from the note police believe Frein wrote. “I took a follow-up shot on his head-neck area. He was still and quiet after that.” Continue reading “Eric Frein Described Killing Trooper in Handwritten Letter: Police”

An Israeli military spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the retaliatory incident, which took place near the southern Lebanese village of Kafr Shouba.

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.

IGUALA, Mexico – 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.

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.
