Sharia principles are to become enshrined in the UK legal system for the first time, with The Law Society publishing guidelines for drawing up documents according to Islamic rules, which would exclude non-believers and encroach on women’s rights.

The new guidelines were produced by The Law Society earlier this month. Under the guidance, High Street solicitors will be able to write Islamic wills which will have the power to exclude non-believers completely and deny women an equal share of an inheritance.   Continue reading “Sharia law to be adopted into UK legal system for first time”

Don’t go getting your hacksaws out just yet Washington residents.

Senate Bill 5956 will legalize the possession of short barreled rifles within Washington State, however all NFA regulations still apply to purchasing, assembling and possessing an SBR. That means you’ll still be filling out ATF forms before that shiny new 14.5″ Ar-15 can be yours.   Continue reading “Washington State House and Senate Vote to Allow Possession of Short Barreled Rifles”

Away from the conflict in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is quietly seeking a foothold in Latin America, military officials warn.

To the alarm of lawmakers and Pentagon officials, Putin has begun sending navy ships and long-range bombers to the region for the first time in years.

Russia’s defense minister says the country is planning bases in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, and just last week, Putin’s national security team met to discuss increasing military ties in the region.   Continue reading “Putin’s quiet Latin America play”

Several members of the august “US Journalists Against Transparency” club are outraged by revelations in yesterday’s New York Times (jointly published by der Spiegel) that the NSA has been hacking the products of the Chinese tech company Huawei as well as Huawei itself at exactly the same time (and in exactly the same way) as the US Government has been claiming the Chinese government hacks. Echoing the script of national security state officials, these journalists argue that these revelations are unjustified, even treasonous, because this is the type of spying the NSA should be doing, and disclosure serves no public interest while harming American national security, etc. etc.   Continue reading “Some Facts About How NSA Stories Are Reported”

The Ukrainian crisis? It is basically the opposite of what the media and politicians keep repeating both in the US and Europe. They say that the so-called International community have isolated Russia and Vladimir Putin.

In fact it is the real sponsors of the coup d’état and the violence in Ukraine who are isolated not only morally but also strategically.   Continue reading “The Ukraine Crisis and Vladimir Putin: A New Financial System Free from Wall Street and the City of London?”

The newest solution, sending the waste to the center of the earth, is the one solution combining safety, economy and permanence to nuclear waste disposal. At first glance, this seems impossible. There has never been a hole drilled in the earth’s crust, so how can one be drilled to the center of the earth? The answer? Let the earth itself do the work through known subduction faults.   Continue reading “New Solution to Nuclear Waste Disposal”

Confronting recent criticism of his support for Palestinian rights and the BDS movement in two furious, personal, open letters, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters rips the “crude pattern” of equating his and others’ criticisms of “the policies of this government of Israel” with anti-Semitism, viewing it as perhaps “a reaction to the fact that BDS is gaining ground, day by day and year by year, all over the world.” Arguing that dehumanization of the other is “the root of all injustice and oppression” and that “the tree of fear and bigotry bears only bitter fruit,” Waters cites the death of his father fighting the Nazis in Italy to chide critics – especially those penning poisonous pieces about Waters’ “anti-Semitic stench” – with, “Do not presume to preach to me, my father’s son, about anti-Semitism or human rights.”   Continue reading “Look To Your Own House: Roger Waters Fires Back At Critics’ Charges of Anti-Semitism”

Mythical Paths

As we have progressed farther and farther to virtual money, it’s becoming easier and easier for “them” to take it away (if it ever really existed – which it didn’t.)  It’s been quite a few years since I did an in-depth financial review of my family finances, and what I’ve found has been shocking.  But the true shock is this:  because I never see my money, it could easily be taken away from me without me noticing.

Here’s how it works:   Continue reading “How they take your Virtual Money”
