In November of 2012, Iyas Kadouni, an activist from the town of Saraqeb in northwestern Syria, grew disenchanted with the abuses of some rebel brigades in the area. A few days earlier, a YouTube video had been posted online showing rebels beating and executing captive government soldiers, and Kadouni took to Facebook to condemn it. “We don’t want t... more »

He’s still engaged in his current reversal, the one involving Hillary Clinton. At least through 2008, Matthews was a raging attack dog against the woman he repeatedly derided as “Evita Peron” and “Nurse Ratched”—the woman he found to be “witchy.” Today, the Nantucket burgher is Hillary Clinton’s most devoted “journalistic” sycophant. His ridiculous fawning has kept him in line with his channel’s new corporate policy. Such reversals may help... more »

Former President George W. Bush Comments On The U.S. War Against The Islamic State
Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com *Bush On ISIS: America Has Learned 'Lesson' About Iraq -- FOX News* Former President George W. Bush, who before leaving office warned against withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq too early, told Fox News that America has since learned the "lesson" that Iraqis are not yet capable of providing for their own security. The former president, who spoke with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade, reacted to President Obama's decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq -- and now Syria -- in a new war against the Islamic State.

Terrorism and Turmoil: US Containment of China
*October 2, 2014* (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - With Hong Kong's "Occupy Central" *fully exposed as US-backed sedition*, readers should be aware that this latest turmoil is but one part of a greater ongoing campaign by the United States to contain and co-opt the nation of China. As early as the Vietnam War, with the so-called "Pentagon Papers" released in 1969, it was revealed that the conflict was simply one part of a greater strategy aimed at containing and controlling China. Three important quotes from these papers reveal this strategy. It states first that: *“...the February deci... more »

Of those people, only a handful have been isolated, including family members and the medical technicians who rushed the patient, Thomas E. Duncan, to the hospital on Sunday. Most on the list are there simply because they had contact with people who had had contact with Mr. Duncan.... more »

Iraq’s Economy Collapsing Under Pressure of Security Crisis
One of the untold stories of the fighting in Iraq is the effect it is having upon the country’s economy. Almost two million internally displaced people, the loss of agricultural land in northern Iraq, foreign investors being scared off, the decline in trade, the collapse of several internal markets, and depleted financial reserves have all been reported in the press. This came on top of the fact that the 2014 budget was never passed due to ex-Premier Nouri al-Maliki’s disputes with his political rivals, which is crippling in a state run system like Iraq’s. All together this points... more »

Missing!
I’ve been picturing homes all over Britain, switching on the telly or the radio and hearing about the missing girl from Bristol who has probably run away to be a ‘Jihadi bride.’ Straight on the back of a real missing British girl, whose parents really did make a moving, dignified, but alas futile appeal for her return, the BBC’s treatment of the Somali family’s self-proclaimed “heart-breaking’ appeal for their runaway daughter gave implied moral equivalence to the two, which many people deem highly offensive. Judging by some of the comments on blogs and the online press, like, for... more »

The ceasefire was called on 5 September, but on Wednesday four people were killed by a shell whic... more »
A Repeat Of A Tiananmen Massacre In Hong Kong?

Paul Toner's Future as Gates Waterboy

Needless to say, NVS took side with Arne Duncan in claiming the scientists have it all wrong in their condemna... more »

Robert Work, deputy secretary of defense, said the U.S. is conducting site surveys for a Korea-based system. “We’re working with the government of South Korea now to determine if that is the right thing to do,” he told a forum in Washington hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.

Brimstone: British missile envied by the US for war on Isil
When the United States asked the RAF to join air strikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), Pentagon commanders had one particular weapon they wanted the British to bring. American defence chiefs had already seen the formidable Brimstone missile at work in Libya during the 2011 campaign against Col Muammar Gaddafi’s regime and wanted to use it against Isil, according to Whitehall sources. The unique British-made missile is now the most sophisticated of its kind being used in the air campaign to support Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling the militants. Read more

In the last few years it seems as though few news reports from Syria, Iraq or other places where Islamic terrorists are wreaking havoc (or indeed on attacks on British soldiers on the streets of London or incidents of 'workplace violence' in America) are complete without mentioning that the victims were beheaded.

Navy chief: US needs to keep 11 aircraft carriers

"We need 11 to have the constant presence that we need. We need 11 to get them into a more regular cycle of maintenance and training," he told reporters at a breakfast.

David Axe, at War is Boring, notes China has placed a full-scale model of its fifth-generation J-31 stealth prototype aboard a mock-up of China's single aircraft carrier.

Sustainable Farms, Organic Farming Beats Factory Farms
This is noteworthy. Operators are really thinking about what is possible. I personaly think that woodlands in particular are excellent prospects for cattle once they are groomed properly. This should open up the woodland to thirty percent total shade alllowing the understory to fully develop and the ground to be also covered with vegetation. This permits heavy grazing under the trees which is much superior to open pasture and the noonday sun. Leaf fall under the trees combined with sunlight will also produce a deep rich bed of grass as well My point is that modern equipment mak... more »

Boeing moving 2000 jobs from Washington state
Via @BlogWood, I learned that Boeing is going to move 2000 skilled jobs away from Washington state, despite just receiving $8.7 billion (with a B) in subsidies for the years 2025-2040. Really, I'm speechless. "Chutzpah" is one of the more printable words I can think of to describe this. You will recall that the state's legislators were angry when their $2 billion (present value of $3.2 billion over 20 years) 2003 subsidy for the Dreamliner did not stop Boeing from putting a Dreamliner assembly line in South Carolina. So the 2013 subsidy was supposed to guarantee that Boeing couldn't... more »

What the decision technically does is establish what is known as an "Article 108(2)" investigation, which means that the Commission has concluded from its preliminary investigation that state aid has been granted in violation of the EU's competition policy rules. It is t... more »

Will GOP Extremists Be Able to Dislodge Boehner From The Speaker's Chair?
Yesterday Boehner was boasting that he hadn't talked to Ted Cruz, the man who would like to name the next Speaker of the House, since Cruz was first elected to the Senate 2 years ago. A little bravado from the man who knows he has a struggle to keep the top job in the House. The extremists and radicals inside the House Republican caucus-- Team Cruz-- are determined to depose Boehner… and *Roll Call*'s Matt Fuller took a look at their chances yesterday. A couple weeks ago, we listed 17 Republicans who had either flat out pledged to vote for someone other than Boehner or who had refu... more »

U.S. Secret Service In Utter Disarray
*Pierson Failed To Provide Fresh Start For Secret Service That Administration Wanted -- Washington Post* The resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pierson and the launch of a top-to-bottom review of the agency Wednesday are an acknowledgment by President Obama of what he has long denied: that the force charged with protecting him is in deep turmoil and struggling to fulfill its sacred mission.

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Beautiful emission nebula NGC 6164 was created by a rare, hot, luminous O-type star, some 40 times as massive as the Sun. Seen at the center of the cosmic cloud, the star is a mere 3 to 4 million years old. In another three to four million years the massive star will end its life in a supernova explosion. *Click image for larger size.* Spanning around 4 light-years, the nebula itself has a bipolar symmetry. That makes it similar in appearance to more familiar planetary nebulae - the gaseous shrouds surrounding dying sun-like stars. Also like many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164 has bee... more »
Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet- On Pain"
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust... more »
A Pueblo Indian Prayer
"Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here. Hold on to your life, even if it's easier to let go. Hold on to my hand, even if someday I'll be gone away from you." ~ A Pueblo Indian Prayer

Chet Raymo, “Mind Over Matter?”
*“Mind Over Matter?”* by Chet Raymo “Musing about the Oxford maths kit yesterday brings to mind an age-old question: Are those mathematical instruments a product of philosophy or empirical science? That is to say: Do we invent mathematics, or do we discover it in nature? The question came up in a book I've been reading, Rachel Hewitt's “Map of a Nation,” a history of the early days of the Ordnance Survey, the British mapping agency. In the 1820s, the Survey came to Ireland, then a British colony, to map the country on the unprecedented scale of six-inches to the mile. The first st... more »
