Iran Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Araqchi says Tehran is against the resumption of talks between Israel and Palestinians as Tel Aviv is incapable of dialogue.
The Israeli regime’s structure is based on occupation and therefore it is incapable of negotiating and reaching an agreement with Palestinians, Araqchi said on Sunday. Continue reading “Israel incapable of negotiation with Palestinians: Araqchi”
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Government troops fired mortar rounds that slammed into a main market in a town in northern Syria on Sunday, killing at least 20 civilians, activist groups said.
The mortar shells struck the town of Ariha, which is held mostly by opposition fighters, a few hours ahead of iftar, the meal that breaks the dawn-to-dusk fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Continue reading “Mortar shells hit market in Syria, killing 20”

Confidential tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were improperly accessed by government officials, but the Justice Department declined to prosecute any of the officials involved, even in one “willful” violation of the law, an IRS watchdog reported.
In a July 3 letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) J. Russell George acknowledged that government officials had illegally accessed tax records of candidates and donors in four instances since 2006.

Food stamps are paying for trans-Atlantic takeout — with New Yorkers using taxpayer-funded benefits to ship food to relatives in Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Welfare recipients are buying groceries with their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards and packing them in giant barrels for the trip overseas, The Post found.
The practice is so common that hundreds of 45- to 55-gallon cardboard and plastic barrels line the walls of supermarkets in almost every Caribbean corner of the city.

I may not have always agreed with Helen Thomas’s points of views, but I did admire her spunk and unwavering dedication to reporting the news and asking the questions no one else dared to.
She was ballsy enough to be made ‘Dean of the White House Press Corps’, not just for her length of time reporting, but her no nonsense belief that leaders and government be held accountable for their actions. Continue reading “She Called A Zionist A Zionist — Helen Thomas Walks On At 92.”

Human emotions are now targets for drug research. A new study, bought and paid for by Big Pharma, claims to have found the single molecule responsible for sadness. And you thought sadness had something to do with sad events? Apparently not. It’s just a sequence of chemical changes. Stop that, and you’ll never be sad again.
In the never-ending rush to find targets for drugs to sell, scientists have found “the” molecule that they say is the “cause” of depression, stress, and anxiety. So now, all they need to do to fix sadness is find a drug that can block it. Continue reading “Study Finds the Cause of Sadness”
Four 15-year-old boys called in for questioning after officers on patrol spot them holding spray cans, lighter, later find incinerated cats. Teens say they acted out of boredom
ed note–Burning innocent animals is the prescribed method of atoning for sins and appeasing the Jewish god Yahweh in what is referred to as a holocaust. It is something as deeply embedded in the Jewish religion, culture and mindset as making the sign of the cross is to Catholics. It is for this reason that Israel prefers spectacular displays of fire and explosions when murdering people in Gaza and in Lebanon as well as the reason for the psychotic Jewish youth featured in this story setting innocent cats on fire.

Two US fighter jets have dropped four unarmed bombs in Australia’s World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef marine park after a training exercise went wrong.
The AV-8B Harrier jets took off from the aircraft carrier USS Bonhomme Richard and each released an inert bomb and an unarmed explosive bomb off the coast of Queensland, the US 7th Fleet said in a statement on Saturday.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. — Hundreds of millions of times a day, thirsty Americans open a can of soda, beer or juice. And every time they do it, they pay a fraction of a penny more because of a shrewd maneuver by Goldman Sachs and other financial players that ultimately costs consumers billions of dollars.
The story of how this works begins in 27 industrial warehouses in the Detroit area where Goldman stores customers’ aluminum. Each day, a fleet of trucks shuffles 1,500-pound bars of the metal among the warehouses. Two or three times a day, sometimes more, the drivers make the same circuits. They load in one warehouse. They unload in another. And then they do it again. Continue reading “The House Edge: A Shuffle of Aluminum, but to Banks, Pure Gold”

Attorney General Eric Holder has confiscated George Zimmerman’s gun. Even though Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted by a jury in the death of Trayvon Martin, the Justice Department on Thursday ordered the Sanford police to put a hold on the evidence from the trial, which includes the Kel Tek 9mm handgun.
It is not clear what federal law or legal procedure allows Mr. Holder to stop a police chief in Florida from returning a firearm to an innocent man. Continue reading “MILLER: Eric Holder steals George Zimmerman’s gun”

In a 5 to 4 vote, the US Supreme Court has absolved pharmaceutical companies, and over 80 percent of all drugs prescribed in the US, of legal liability for a long list of ill deeds including fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death.
This decision happened as a response to a lower court’s ruling concerning a victim who took a pharmaceutical drug and had a severely adverse reaction that caused the patient to be completely disfigured when the drug caused a flesh-eating side effect.

I believe this case is a set-up and a test case, and if they get away with it, there will be many more cities, whose control is taken out of the hands of their residents. ~J

In case you haven’t heard, municipal bankruptcy is now all the rage. When smaller municipal corporations (only corporations can declare bankruptcy) had little resistance as test cases for these outrageous claims of fraudulent bankruptcy and default, the larger municipalities gained the confidence that the financially illiterate cesspool of people as citizens don’t know there heads from a hole in the wall when it comes to the financial reporting apparatus of government.
