US officials on Friday slammed plans to construct an EU-centric communication system, designed to prevent emails and phone calls from being swept up by the NSA, warning that such a move is a violation of trade laws.

Calling Europe’s proposal to build its own integrated communication system “draconian,” the office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) said American tech companies, which are worth an estimated $8 trillion per year, would take a financial hit if Brussels gives the initiative the green light.    Continue reading “US blasts Europe’s plan for anti-snooping network as ‘unfair advantage’”

Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that the Obama administration will reassess its role in attempting to broker a peace deal between Israel and Palestine after the latest round of discussions proved to be all but fruitful.

Speaking to reporters from Rabat, Morocco amid his latest tour overseas, Kerry said that the most recent attempts from the United States to find common ground between leadership in the Middle East have failed.   Continue reading “Kerry gives up on Israeli-Palestinian peace talks”

The US State Department is unable to explain how it spent billions of dollars worth of contract funds in areas throughout the world, according to a newly unveiled report by the department’s internal watchdog.

The Office of Inspector General explained in a March 20 “management alert” to department leaders that approximately $6 billion has gone unaccounted for over the past six years. The note said the number of missing documents “exposes the department to significant financial risk” and is a dangerous lack of oversight.   Continue reading “$6 bn worth of contracts misplaced by State Department”

And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men…. Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit. -Matthew 15:9-14   Continue reading “Night Vision: Own the Night”

Ukraine groupe né-naziGlobal Research – by Professor John Ryan

Since the overthrow of the Yanukovych government in Ukraine at the end of February 2014, the mainstream media en masse has attempted to whitewash the nature of the current Ukrainian government. This has occurred even in some progressive publications and websites, e.g., a recent two-part series in Rabble.ca.

As soon as this government took over, the New York Times referred to it as a new wave of democracy, and this then set the tone for the media in the West. Although here and there it’s sometimes mentioned that Svoboda, a member of the coalition government, “once had some quasi-fascist inclinations,” that’s as far as it goes. All else about Svoboda and the paramilitary Right Sector has been effectively swept off into Orwell’s memory hole.   Continue reading “The Media’s Disinformation Campaign on Ukraine: “There are No neo-Nazis in the Interim Government””

Pat Buchanan’s column, “Is God Now on Russia’s Side?,” is difficult to read and almost laugh-out-loud funny, as Buchanan was once a staunch anti-communist who served President Reagan as his communications director during the Cold War. Buchanan’s opposition to the Evil Empire, as Reagan correctly called it, has given way to an unseemly embrace of former Soviet KGB colonel Vladimir Putin, the virtual dictator of Russia who served the “Evil Empire” for decades.   Continue reading “Modern Day Russian Dupes”

Russian Finance Minister Anton SiluanovRIA Novosti

MOSCOW, March 26 (RIA Novosti) – Tensions between Moscow and Washington will not derail the two countries from signing an agreement on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or FATCA, Russia’s Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov said Wednesday.

“It will be all right. We will undertake all necessary steps for our banks to provide information about American taxpayers,” Siluanov said.   Continue reading “Moscow, Washington Will Not Postpone FATCA Agreement – Russian Finance Minister”

Scientists have warned that the world’s banana crop, worth £26 billion and a crucial part of the diet of more than 400 million people, is facing “disaster” from virulent diseases immune to pesticides or other forms of control.

Alarm at the most potent threat – a fungus known as Panama disease tropical race 4 (TR4) – has risen dramatically after it was announced in recent weeks that it has jumped from South-east Asia, where it has already devastated export crops, to Mozambique and Jordan.   Continue reading “Bananageddon: Millions face hunger as deadly fungus Panama disease decimates global banana crop”

Hillary Can’t List Accomplishments as Secretary of State

When asked in an interview, Hillary is at a loss for words. Interesting that she agrees that Obama had little time for Foreign affairs. That leaves her with the bag regarding the disastrous Arab Spring and all that goes with it. Throw in the restart button with Russia and you pretty much have it. Considering her background as nothing more than a two-bit Attorney from Arkansas and a hubby that happened to be President in the past, it sums it up completely.   Continue reading “Hillary Clinton at a loss at listing her accomplishments as Secretary of State”

Long story short – Mozilla purged their CEO Brendan Eich after finding out he had donated $1,000 to Prop 8 In California, to ban gay marriage in the state.

Many gay activists are happy Mozilla removed Eich, but others…. not so much.

Liberal gay activist Andrew Sullivan, for example, expresses disgust over what he calls liberal “hounding” of the “Heritic.”   Continue reading “Maher: ‘There Is A Gay Mafia – If You Cross Them, You Do Get Whacked’”

Let’s assume for a moment that in the unlikely event that the Ukrainian  crisis is mitigated without escalating into World War III, we have another dire set of circumstances which have been created that will force the world into conflict.

Let’s further assume for another moment that in the highly unlikely event that the sheep are awakened in this country and America is able to be restored to a previous era of prosperity and relative self-determination, water will be used to enslave the United States. In other words the globalist banksters will keep coming after us until they get what they desire.   Continue reading “How Water Will Be Used to Subjugate America”

A senior CIA official has died in an apparent suicide this week from injuries sustained after jumping off a building in northern Virginia, according to sources close to the CIA.

There are currently no plans to screen Captain America: The Winter Soldier at the White House, as far as the film’s directors have heard. But if it makes it to the White House family theater, President Obama would be watching one big-budget, action-packed, and Scarlett Johansson-starring critique of his controversial terror-suspect “kill list.”

This isn’t me reading things into a mainstream comic-book movie. It’s what the directors themselves will tell you.    Continue reading ““Captain America: The Winter Soldier” Is About Obama’s Terror-Suspect Kill List, Say the Film’s Directors”
