A month ago, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was considered by many to be the GOP front runner for president in 2016. Now, even if he secures the nomination, Republicans may very likely support him only half-heartedly like they did moderate Republican Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008, a sure recipe for losing the presidential election.

Refueling in Cairo has never been this comfortable: go to the gas pump, open the hood, hose mount, take pitch and wait. For a long time taxi driver Ahmed hasn’t found so much pleasure in his work. Today, he could even choose the natural gas dispenser at his favorite gas station not far from Tahrir Square, smiling. And because no one is in the queue and honks, there is even time for a paint cleaning. Ahmed is waving a leather cloth and philosophizes excitedly about the “Second Revolution” and the “people’s coup”, as he calls the events of those days. He turns up the radio: “Oh you my beloved Egypt!” is blaring from the speakers. Continue reading “Egypt after coup – Suddenly there is electricity and petrol again”
It’s official. The American taxpayers will foot the bill for a $120M memorial to Dwight Eisenhower—a mass murderer with a trail of corruption and intrigue surrounding him that has been suppressed by the controlled-media in America, which fondly recalls the former president as an iconic war hero-turned grandfather figure.
More disturbing evidence suggests Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is getting critical high-level support from the establishment elite who seem to favorably perceive Paul as distancing himself from his father, retired Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas).
A group of Russian inspectors will conduct observation flights on a Tu-154M Lk-1 plane over the United States and Canada in the framework of the international Open Skies Treaty, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry said.
New studies show that psilocybin removes the trauma and fear from memories in the minds of mice, and even stimulates the growth of a significant amount of new brain cells.
Studies from The University of South Florida indicate that psilocin (or psilocybin, which metabolizes into psilocin), found in “shrooms”, triggers new brain cell growth, and erases frightening memories from mice. Mice trained to fear electric shock when hearing a noise associated with the shock, stopped reacting in fear to the noise when given a small dose of psilocybin, much more quickly, in contrast to mice given no psilocybin. “They simply lost their fear”, exclaimed the co-author of the study, Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos, a professor of movement disorders.

We all play them. Every culture has their own favorite types or games. Some people play video games, some people play sports like football, basketball, soccer or even wrestle. Others like games of mental prowess, like cards, or chess. I like puzzles. A puzzle is a mystery unlocked in front of your eyes. Dedication, perseverance and attention to detail combined with a whole lot of tenacity inevitably gets the job done. Continue reading “The Puzzle of Tyranny”
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A county coroner said Monday that he would not report for “at least two or three weeks” whether one of the two teenage girls who died in the Asiana Airlines crash was struck and killed by an emergency vehicle.
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said that while autopsies of the two Chinese girls have been completed, he wants to review written information from the public safety agencies that responded to the crash and audio dispatch files before determining their causes of deaths.

If you are a billionaire former Goldman Sachs CEO, ex-governor, and one of Obama’s biggest donors and steal $1.2 billion directly from the accounts of your customers and cover-up that theft, then you are not a criminal. If you reveal the un-Constitutional spying on all American citizens by the government, you are a traitor and face life imprisonment. This is your American Republic in a nutshell. Anyone that doesn’t believe we are a corporate fascist oligarchy run by the ultra-wealthy for the benefit of the ultra-wealthy, just isn’t thinking. And the beat goes on.

Wearing the uniform of the Few and Proud doesn’t rate preferential treatment from the Transportation Security Administration or California capitol security officers, retired Marine Cpl. Nathan Kemnitz recently found.
Kemnitz, severely injured in 2004 in a roadside bomb attack in Fallujah, has limited use of his right arm and cannot lift it above his head. So when security guards at the state capitol building in Sacramento, Calif., asked him to remove his dress blue blouse “because he was wearing too much metal,” and TSA asked him to raise his arms above his head for the full-body scanner at Sacramento International Airport, he could not comply.
