BEIRUT (AP) — A powerful car bomb tore through a bustling south Beirut neighborhood that is a stronghold of Hezbollah on Thursday, killing at least 18 and trapping dozens of others in an inferno of burning cars and buildings in the bloodiest attack yet on Lebanese civilians linked to Syria’s civil war.

The blast is the second in just over a month to hit one of the Shiite militant group’s bastions of support, and the deadliest in decades. It raises the specter of a sharply divided Lebanon being pulled further into the conflict next door, which is being fought on increasingly sectarian lines pitting Sunnis against Shiites.   Continue reading “Powerful car bomb kills 18 in south Beirut suburb”

President Barack Obama makes a statement to the media regarding events in Egypt, from his rental vacation home in Chilmark Mass., on the island of Martha's Vineyard, on Aug. 15, 2013. ABC News – by Mary Bruce

In a widely expected move, President Obama today canceled next month’s joint U.S.-Egyptian military exercises, saying “our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back.”

More significant, however, is what the president is not doing, despite the interim government’s crackdown on Egyptian protesters that has left hundreds dead and thousands injured.   Continue reading “Obama Cancels US-Egypt Military Exercises but Not Foreign Aid”

In March of this year, the lower Chamber of the Romanian Parliament hosted a crucial vote that would impact the future of local biotech agriculture in the Eastern European country. A draft law calling for a ban on growing, importing and marketing of products containing genetically modified organisms was soundly rejected – 218 opposed, 72 in favor.

Most of the politicians who proposed the law in 2010 were now against it. Four days before the vote, the Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Embassy in Bucharest expressed its concern about the pending decision in a report to the US Department of Agriculture: “If approved, the new draft law would clearly place at risk biotech seeds producers (…).”   Continue reading “U.S. Government Agencies and Politicians Lobby for the Use of Genetically-Modified Seeds in Romania”

One in 7 Americans receives food stamps and the government wants the number to be even higher.

Yes, I said higher.

The USDA is soliciting people to receive food stamps in the manner of a drug dealer on a grade school playground.  ”Psst – hey you!  I’ve got something for you…it’s free…come on, try it.  You’ll like it!”   Continue reading “The USDA Is Pushing Food Stamps Like a Drug Dealer at a Grade School”

The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) based in Sarasota, FL, headed by Chairman Frances Rice, filed Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Obama with the following language:

We, black American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from governmental tyranny, do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to Congress for the removal of President Barack H. Obama, aka, Barry Soetoro, from office for his attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.   Continue reading “Black American citizens file “Articles of Impeachment” against Obama”

9/11: The pyrotechnic and explosive link. 50781.jpegPravda.Ru – by Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

An article published in a Journal of Chemical Physics, signed by no less than nine experts, analyzing the results of studies on particles taken from the 9/11 event at the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001 makes the most shocking conclusion: “highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material” was discovered.

Remember when the World Trade Center collapsed? Quite apart from the shock and awe experienced by most civilized people around the world at the sheer scale of the act of mass murder, quite apart from the indignation at seeing passenger aircraft flying into the buildings, were there not little subconscious question marks chalked up at the way the buildings fell, almost as if in an implosion?   Continue reading “9/11: The pyrotechnic and explosive link”

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Native Americans on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation — home to some of the highest rates of unemployment, domestic abuse and suicide in Indian Country — have voted to end prohibition and legalize alcohol so the tribe can use the profits for education and treatment.

A majority of voters on Tuesday approved the measure, but the outcome was left hanging because of 438 challenged ballots that were more than the difference between the yes and no votes. Francis Pumpkin Seed, Oglala Sioux Tribe Election Commission chairman, said workers on Wednesday checked each of those ballots to confirm they were cast by enrolled members. After that process was complete, the result was 1,871 for legalization and 1,679 against it, he said.   Continue reading “Vote to legalize alcohol on SD’s Pine Ridge passes”

1984-book-cover-picCrisis Magazine – by Sean Fitzpatrick

The second most terrifying thing about George Orwell’s 1984 is the supposition that it is possible to destroy humanity without destroying humankind. The first is how many aspects of our democratic nation resemble his dystopian nightmare.

George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948 as a political satire of a totalitarian state and a denunciation of Stalinism. Orwell himself was a socialist, who fought for the republicans in the Spanish Civil War and was wounded by a sniper bullet to the throat. As the West became aware of the horrors of Stalin, Orwell became disillusioned.   Continue reading “Orwell’s 1984: Are We There Yet?”

Too bad her conscience didn’t kick in until AFTER there were deaths. However, at least she is now. Not surprising, we knew these vaccines were apart of population control and destroying the family. The question is now, how do we convince the masses to stop giving them to their children? Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines.   Continue reading “Vaccine Maker Tells The Truth To Clear Conscience, 44 Girls Have Died Since Having Gardasil And Cervarix”

The federal government has been low-balling the public for years on how much debt it actually has, a University of California, San Diego economics professor says, adding that the real amount is $70 trillion – not $16.9 trillion.

James Hamilton’s claim the United States is in a much deeper financial hole than many realize comes as Congress gets ready for another budget battle when lawmakers return in September. Both sides have been digging in on their policy positions over the debt, spending and the country’s future fiscal health.   Continue reading “California economist says real US debt $70 trillion”

The Independent -by Robert Fisk

Has John Kerry no shame? First he cuddles up to both Palestinians and Israelis and announces the renewal of a “peace process” which the Palestinians don’t trust and the Israelis don’t want. Then Israel announces that it will build 1,200 new homes for Jews – and Jews only – on occupied Palestinian land. And now Kerry tells the Palestinians – the weak and occupied Palestinians – that they are running out of time if they want a state of their own.   Continue reading “Any other ‘statesman’ who negotiated peace like John Kerry would be treated as a thief”

WEB Notes: Every move on the globe is being engineered for a desired outcome. Remember, just weeks ago Egyptian General Sisi called for the people to come out in the streets and protest so the military could step in. They asked for this.

(Video, AP) – Egyptian authorities on Thursday significantly raised the death toll from clashes the previous day between police and supporters of the ousted Islamist president, saying more than 500 people died and laying bare the extent of the violence that swept much of the country and prompted the government to declare a nationwide state of emergency and a nighttime curfew.   Continue reading “Egypt in State of Emergancy After 525 Killed, 3717 Injuried in Latest Military Clashes”

As thousands of stoners prepare to convene at the world’s largest pot rally this weekend, the Seattle Police Department is planning to distribute information to Hempfest attendees about the state’s new legalization law—on stickers attached to bags of chips.

Excerpted from Global Affairs – Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) suggested Wednesday that Secretary of State John Kerry bears some responsibility for the Egyptian army’s brutal crackdown on protesters.

“As we predicted and feared, chaos in Cairo,” McCain tweeted after dozens of pro-Morsi protesters were killed when their sit-in camps were raided. “Sec Kerry praising the military takeover didn’t help.”   Continue reading “McCain Suggests Kerry Is Partly To Blame For Violence In Egypt”
