Bloodbath in Maiduguri, Yobe

on February 02, 2015 / in News 9:08 am / By Ndahi Marama & Umar Yusuf with agency report

MAIDUGURI—THERE was fierce fighting, yesterday, between the Nigerian troops and Boko Haram insurgents in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. About 80 insurgents were killed, while several others escaped with bullet wounds. The latest attack came barely a week after the insurgents tried to take over the state capital from the Damaturu-Jimtilo axis but were repelled by soldiers who deployed massive artillery and fighter jets to dislodge them. The insurgents were stopped from taking over the city by youths otherwise known as the Civilian JTF, and other residents who risked their lives by coming out in large numbers to assist troops in repelling the invaders. etc.. and the news story continues...

Russian Bomber Over Channel Was Carrying Nukes

by A.B. Sanderson1 Feb 2015

Tensions between Russia and the UK have heightened after it was revealed that the Russian bomber intercepted by RAF fighter jets was carrying a nuclear missile designed to destroy Trident submarines. The TU-95 aircraft were spotted on long range radar flying down from Scotland towards the English Channel, where they were close to entering British airspace, the Sunday Express report. Ministry of Defence sources revealed the ‘seek and find’ nuclear warhead missile which can destroy the British Vanguard submarines which form the country’s nuclear deterrent. It led to the incident being described as “yet another in a series of deliberately provocative” actions by Vladimir Putin and shows that the Russians have put NATO countries in the list of adversaries. etc. and the news story continues...

The Midwest and Northeast dig out from latest winter storm and record snowfall

By Ed Payne, CNN Updated 9:16 AM ET, Tue February 3, 2015

(CNN)From the Plains to the Northeast, a second brutal winter storm in a week has left behind a deadly trail and record amounts of snow. You can see it in the aftermath: Canceled classes, grounded flights and massive piles of snow along roadways. And we're only in early February. Record-setter The Boston area has gotten the worst of it. Bean Town set a new record for snowiest seven-day period in the city's history with 40.2 inches, the National Weather Service reported. Boston's average annual snowfall is 47 inches. The city has already gotten more than that over the last two weeks. It's a similar story in Chicago where the latest storm dumped 19.3 inches of snow. The 16.2 inches recorded at O'Hare International Airport just Sunday were the most ever for any February day in the Windy City. The city got as much snow Sunday as it had in all of January, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said. And to add insult to injury. "We don't have this much snow in Alaska right now," Chicago visitors Emma Marks and Daniel Dobbs told CNN affiliate WLS. The toll Authorities say at least 10 people have died as a result of the storm. etc.. and the news story continues...

Russia Plans Joint Military Drills With North Korea and Cuba

By Damien Sharkov 2/2/15 at 1:39 PM

Russia could soon be carrying out military drills alongside North Korea and Cuba according to Valery Gerasimov, the chief of staff of the Russian armed forces. Speaking at a meeting on Saturday which was also attended by Russia’s defence minister Sergey Shoygu, along with the heads of all armed forces branches, Gerasimov announced: “We are planning an expansion of the communication lines of our military central command. We are entering preliminary negotiations with the armed forces of Brazil, Vietnam, Cuba and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.” “We are going to conduct a series of joint naval and air force exercises, as well as joint drills of our ground troops and air assault troops,” the military official added. According to the former U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine Steven Pifer, Russia is developing these potential military partnerships as a response to its current international isolation. Due to its involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, the U.S. and EU have both imposed sanctions on the country and certain Russian individuals, and the country was suspended from the G8 last March. etc.. and the news story continues...

Power Plant Explosion Accompanied By Strange Lights In American City On Canadian Border Reeks Spetsnaz

February 3, 2015

An All News Pipeline reader contacted us yesterday about a mysterious explosion at a power plant in Escanaba, Michigan that has left much of the area still in the dark. Our reader was concerned that a coverup was ongoing as the US govt has taken a strange interest in the Canadian border city recently, a city where the biggest employers are the hospital and the ore mining industry. The explosion was accompanied by a light that one reader said "shot straight down from the heavens." While the local media attempted to explain away the light as an oncoming train, most readers weren't buying it. Back on August 22nd, 2013, All News Pipeline friend Bobby Powell from The Truth Is Viral made a post to Facebook in which he warned that Russian troops were in Alpena, Michigan. He told us: "I know for a fact that Russian Spetsnaz troops are right here in Alpena, 'training' at the Alpena Combat Readiness Center...I know they were Spetsnaz for a couple of different reasons, the first clue being their bearing. When I was in the Marine Corps we trained specifically to fight these scumbags and were taught quite a bit about them..." Alpena, Michigan is another Canadian border city, a short 4-hour drive and merely 240 miles away from Escanaba where this mysterious power plant explosion, also seen in the additional pictures and videos below, happened. We have been warned that our power grid is at risk of being taken down in its' entirety, leaving American in the dark ages, and have been told by experts that taking out power stations is one of the job descriptions of the Russian Spetsnaz and we've heard from Free Republic (confirmed by Savanah Now) that Spetsnaz were allegedly arrested near a power plant near I-95 in Georgia back in 2010 according to the very interesting outtake below. (A side note: the three men were sent back to Russia according to the FBI. Story

Iran boasts of rocket aid to Palestinians, Hezbollah

Commander of aerospace force says technology to mass-produce missiles exported to Tehran’s anti-Israel allies

By Stuart Winer February 3, 2015, 12:57 pm

The commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp’s missile division boasted on Monday that his country has provided short- and mid-range ballistic rocket technologies to its allies, including the Palestinians and Hezbollah in Lebanon. IRGC aerospace force commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said that information and skills to locally produce military rockets were also given to the governments of Syria and Iraq. “The IRGC’s Aerospace Force has developed to a stage in the field of missile industries that it can mass-produce different types of short- and mid-range missiles,” Hajizadeh said, according to a report by the semi-official FARS news agency. Israeli defense officials have often voiced concerns over the spread of mid-range missiles to Hezbollah and the Palestinians that put all of Israel within striking distance. “The Islamic Republic of Iran has helped Iraq, Syria, Palestine and the Lebanese Hezbollah by exporting the technology that it has for the production of missiles and other equipment, and they can now stand against the Zionist regime, the ISIL [Islamic State group] and other Takfiri [apostate] groups and cripple them,” Hajizadeh said. He also claimed that Iran was developing its own radar and drone technologies that were being exported to other countries. etc.. and the news story continues...

Obama Bolsters the Brotherhood

February 4, 2015 by Joseph Klein

The Obama administration has a soft spot in its heart for the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood.

Just last month, the U.S. State Department went out of its way to insult the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, whom the Obama administration should be treating as a valuable ally in the fight against global jihadism, by hosting a delegation of leaders who have been aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. The State Department’s guests at the meeting, whose visit was arranged and paid for by Georgetown University, included former Freedom and Justice Party members (the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party). One of the State Department officials who met with the delegation was the deputy assistant secretary for democracy, human rights, and labor. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki downplayed the importance of the meeting, which she said was “routine at the State Department as they meet political party leaders from across the world.” But the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned guests lost no opportunity to propagandize their grand reception at the State Department. One of them posed for a picture in front of the State Department’s logo, proudly displaying the jihadist group’s notorious four-finger symbol of defiance, known as the R4BIA salute. Meanwhile, following the State Department meeting, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt called on its supporters to prepare for “a long, uncompromising jihad.” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shokry said that the meeting, far from being routine, was “not understandable as they are not a political party, and according to the Egyptian law they should be treated as a terrorist group.” Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which are certainly in a position to know first-hand, have also declared the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist group. President Obama evidently believes otherwise. His favorable attitude towards the jihadist organization goes back to the earliest days of his first term as president, evidenced by his administration’s invitation to Muslim Brotherhood leaders to attend his speech to the Islamic world in Cairo on June 4, 2009. The administration’s outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood has continued unabated ever since. etc.. and the news story continues..

Jordan strikes back at ISIS after pilot's killing

By Greg Botelho and Jomana Karadsheh, CNN Updated 11:52 AM ET, Thu February 5, 2015

Karak, Jordan (CNN)Two days after news emerged that ISIS had burned a captive Jordanian pilot to death, the Middle Eastern nation hit back with airstrikes targeting the terror group -- following through on its vow of "earthshaking retaliation." Jordanian fighter jets returned from their mission and flew over the home of the slain 27-year-old pilot, Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, in the village of Ay in Karak governorate. King Abdullah II, there to offer his condolences to al-Kasasbeh's family, pointed out the fighter jets overhead as proof Jordan was responding with force, according to the executed pilot's father. The father, Safi al-Kasasbeh, told CNN that the King promised him that Jordan would avenge his son's death and bombard ISIS' de facto capital of Raqqa in Syria. On Thursday, Safi al-Kasasbeh added that he'd been told by the King that 30 Jordanian fighter jets had participated in the strikes. "The homeland is entrusted to you all," he said alongside the king, in remarks shown on state television, referencing Jordan's military and calling for national unity. "... For you (troops), to honor Moath is to uphold your oath and to follow in his footsteps as soldiers for God, his prophet (and) Islam ... in defending this dear homeland." etc.. and the news story continues...

UK to lead 'high readiness' Nato force, Michael Fallon says

5 February 2015 Last updated at 07:24 ET

The UK will deploy four RAF Typhoon jets for "air policing" in the Baltic states

The UK will play a lead role in a "high readiness" Nato force that will be established in Eastern Europe, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has announced. Britain will send up to 1,000 troops and four RAF Typhoon jets for "air policing" in the region, he said. The multinational force is the biggest reinforcement of Nato's collective defence since the end of the Cold War. BBC correspondent Jonathan Marcus said the move aimed to deter a perceived Russian threat to the Baltic states. It comes as French and German leaders headed to the Ukrainian capital Kiev to try to negotiate an end to escalating fighting in the east of the country. Mr Fallon said Nato's credibility in the face of the security challenges depended on "everyone playing their part" to implement decisions taken to bolster its forces at a summit of member states in Wales last year. "Strong words must be backed up with firm action," he said. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and his German counterpart Ursula von der Leyen have been discussing the new Nato force Nato defence ministers have gathered in Brussels to discuss the details of the "Very High Readiness Joint Task Force" (VJTF), which will form Nato's first response in the face of aggression. It is expected to be made up of about 5,000 troops from Nato countries, with its lead units able to deploy at two days' notice. The UK will be the force's lead nation in 2017 and then on rotation thereafter, Mr Fallon said. He said the UK would contribute manpower to two regional headquarters in Poland and Romania, and to force integration units in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. The UK will also send four RAF Typhoon jets to support the Nato's Baltic air policing mission in 2015, he confirmed. The Typhoons will operate alongside Norwegian aircraft between May and August 2015, with the aim of securing Nato's airspace over Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, which do not have their own air defence fighters. They will operate at Nato's request from Amari Airbase in Estonia, he said. BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus said the move was aimed to reassure Nato countries in eastern Europe and deter what is perceived as a potential Russian threat to the Baltic republics or other Nato members. He said it was also a signal that the alliance's political leaders and military planners now see Russia's seizure of the Crimea and military forays into eastern Ukraine as much more than just a temporary crisis between Moscow and the West. etc.. and the news story continues..

Iraqi Christians to take up arms against ISIS

Many Iraqi Christians displaced by ISIS are volunteering to form a force against the militant group.(Photo courtesy Calvin Isaac)

Dina al-Shibeeb, Al Arabiya News Wednesday, 4 February 2015 Several Iraqi Christian armed forces will “soon” join the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in an attempt to regain control of their in the northern Ninveh Plain after they were seized by the militant group last year, a Christian lawmaker said Wednesday. “The objective is to liberate their land in Nineveh Plain and to take charge of security in these areas afterward,” said Yaco Jacob, a Christian parliamentarian at the Kurdistan Parliament. Jacob is member of the political bureau of the Assyrian Democratic Movement (ADM), which is one of the country’s Christian political parties, with two deputies in the Iraqi parliament in Baghdad and two representatives in the Kurdistan parliament in Erbil. The ADM has operated paramilitaries since the 1980s, when it allied with the Kurds to wage an insurgency against Saddam Hussein’s regime. The Christian force currently has 2,000 men who volunteered to fight ISIS. Christian groups began rebuilding their armed forces in August 2014, a week after the Ninevah plain exodus, seen by some as the worse disaster to have ever affected the Iraqi Christians. etc.. and the news story continues...

UN: ISIS Beheading Children, Burying Them Alive

February 5, 2015 12:26 PM

BERLIN (CBS News/CBSDC/AP) — The United Nations says the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is systematically killing, torturing and raping children and families of minority groups in Iraq, and it is calling on government forces there to do more to protect them. In a report issued Wednesday in Geneva, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child said it has received reports of “several cases of mass executions of boys, as well as reports of beheadings, crucifixions of children and burying children alive.” Iraq’s military has been struggling in its fight against ISIS, and the government has pleaded repeatedly for more weapons and training. Still, the U.N. agency urged that more be done, saying Iraq needs to “take all necessary actions to ensure the safety and protection of children and their families.” The U.N. Security Council has expressed its “deep outrage” at the killings, kidnapping, rapes and torture in Iraq and said the militant group’s actions “may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.” etc. and the news story continues..

The brutal messaging of ISIS works

Feb. 06, 2015 | 12:12 AM Mona Alami| The Daily Star

ISIS has carefully crafted its media campaign and branding strategy using terror to appeal to its international audience and creating revulsion among its enemies. Its brutal messaging has been effective so far, but will escalatory measures on its part, namely mass killings, beheadings and more recently the execution of a Jordanian pilot, Moaz Kassasbeh, who was burned alive, create a backlash in its core constituency?  ISIS success has been built on its ability to state a message loudly and clearly – one based on an ideology of hate built on military successes. This has sown terror among its enemies and facilitated the recruitment of foreign fighters, estimated at 20,000 in a study by the International Center for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence. The center has written that no conflict since 1945 has attracted as many foreign fighters. The ISIS ideology has translated into a claim on territory in Syria and Iraq, and the execution, forced conversion and slavery of Shiites, Sunnis, Yazidis, Christians and others. Beheading has been a central part of the ISIS communication and branding strategy. The broadcasting of these horrific scenes is part of a larger propaganda war between ISIS and the world. etc. and the news story continues..

Hundreds of Indian Christians arrested during protest over church attacks

Christians take to the streets of Delhi to protest against government inaction following a spate of attacks on churches

February 5, 2015 12:23PM ET

Hundreds of Indian Christians were arrested in New Delhi on Thursday during a protest against government inaction following a series of attacks on local churches that raised fears of increasing religious intolerance in the Indian capital. The protesters — who included nuns and priests — attempted to march from a cathedral near the country’s parliament to Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence, located in a high-security area where protests are banned. The protesters targeted Singh because he is responsible for maintaining domestic law and order. The action, organized by church leaders and activists, followed an incident on Monday in which unknown persons broke into a Delhi church, desecrating property. The crime was the latest in a series of reported arsons, burglaries and acts of vandalism targeting local churches. In total, five churches have been attacked in the last two months. "A clear pattern of orchestrated attacks is emerging as more churches are targeted, vandalized and set on fire," Delhi Archbishop Anil Couto told reporters Thursday. While the overwhelming majority of India's 1.26 billion citizens are Hindu, it is officially a secular country. Christians, who comprise only about 2.3 percent (28 million) of the population, say attacks on churches have increased since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept national elections last May. Though hate groups have targeted Indian Christians in the past, some experts say the BJP’s victory has bolstered their activities. etc. and the news story continues..

Caribbean blues: Mosquito virus is sickening more travelers

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP Chief Medical Writer | February 6, 2015 | Updated: February 6, 2015 10:26pm

In this Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015 photo, Marisa Hargrove stands in her backyard in Bay Harbor Islands, Fla. Hargrove, 42, was working in her backyard in 2014 when she believes she was bitten by a mosquito carrying the chikungunya virus, becoming one of the first Americans to have caught chikungunya from local mosquitoes. State health officials say at least 11 people have been infected in Florida, and they worry the virus will become established there.

Thousands of travelers to the Caribbean and nearby regions are coming home with an unwanted souvenir: a mosquito-borne virus that recently settled there. The virus, called chikungunya (chih-kihn-GOON'-yuh), causes severe, often disabling joint pain, and few U.S. doctors are prepared to recognize its signs. At one New York City hospital, a woman arrived in such agony she had to be admitted just to control her pain. "Thinks she has chicken virus??" the mystified staff wrote on the medical chart after interviewing the patient. Since it spread from Asia and Africa in late 2013, chikungunya has infected a million people in the Caribbean, Latin America and parts of South America and Mexico. Actress Lindsay Lohan recently said she got it while in French Polynesia. In the U.S. alone, more than 2,300 travelers since last May have brought home the virus, which has nothing to do with chickens. About a dozen people have gotten it from mosquito bites in Florida.

Boko Haram fighters have massacred more than 100 people in the north Cameroon town of Fotokol. Militants from the terrorist Islamist group murdered residents inside their own homes and at a mosque on Tuesday. Many of the dead were found with their throats slit, according to a local newspaper. The raid comes amid a major offensive by Cameroon and its neighbouring African states against Boko Haram, which has killed thousands and kidnapped hundreds in Nigeria and begun to mount increasingly bloody cross-border raids.

'Boko Haram entered Fotokol through Gambaru early in the morning and they killed more than 100 people in the mosque, in the houses and they burned property,' said the civic leader Abatchou Abatcha, whose own son was shot dead during the raid. Cameroon's information minister Issa Tchiroma said the Cameroon army had pushed Boko Haram out of the border town after heavy fighting, which killed 50 militants and six of its own soldiers. The Sunni Muslim jihadist group is seen as the main security threat to Nigeria, Africa's biggest economy and top oil producer which will hold a presidential election on February 14. etc... and the news story continues..

Kerry: Bible calls U.S. to guard Muslims from ‘global warming’

Michael F. Haverluck (OneNewsNow.com) Sunday, January 04, 2015

Already under fire for many of his anti-Christian and pro-Muslim sentiments expressed during his relatively short time in serving under the Obama administration, United States Secretary of State John Kerry made another fairly recent assertion that has many Christians up in arms, as he attempted to interpret Scriptures to say that America is commanded by the Bible to protect the Muslim world from “global warming.” When Kerry spoke at a ceremony appointing a new special representative to Muslim communities, Texas attorney Shaarik Zafar, he referred to Christianity and Islam being in unison and intrinsically interconnected. America’s chief foreign diplomat contended that both religions scripturally share a common bond to the environment, asserting that because most Muslim countries are “vulnerable” to the effects of “climate change,” the United States is obligated to safeguard them by implementing green policies to protect them from the so-called effects of pollutants. "Our faiths are inextricably linked on any number of things that we must confront and deal with in policy concepts today," Kerry proclaimed late last year, according to Freedom Outpost. "Our faiths are inextricably linked on the environment. For many of us, respect for God's creation also translates into a duty to protect and sustain His first Creation, Earth, the planet.” Staying true to much of the environmentalist messaging and rhetoric used to promote the green movement’s endorsement of global warming-based policies and industries, Kerry used the Book of Genesis to imply that “Mother Earth” and nature should come before man. “Before God created man He created Heaven and Earth," Kerry stressed at the ceremony. Kerry argues that fighting the highly contested global warming is perhaps the biggest threat to the world — and he attempted to use the Bible to prove his point, commanding America to use green technology and policies to “aid” Islamic nations. "Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face, and you can see this duty or responsibility laid out in Scriptures, clearly, beginning in Genesis," Kerry insisted. "And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable. Our response to this challenge ought to be rooted in a sense of stewardship of Earth. And for me and for many of us here today, that responsibility comes from God." etc.. and the news story continues...

Chaplain Says Officials Ordered Him to Cover Christian Symbols In VA Chapel-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:

Has the Veterans Administration (VA) ordered that religious symbols and statues no longer be allowed at facility chapels?

The Truth: According to the website for the Oscar G Johnson Medical Center Veterans Affairs hospital in Iron Mountain, Michigan, the chapel is described as "non-denominational," although weekly Protestant and Catholic services are scheduled there "on a regular basis." The hospital was told that Christian symbols, statues and religious items inside the chapel were no longer permitted. This according to a June 3, 2014, article by Christian Today. The article said that the chapel "was found in non-compliance with a 2008 federal regulation that mandates that the house of worship be nonsectarian." In order to comply with the regulation statues, crucifix and an altar "were encircled with a curtain at the Iron Mountain chapel after an inspection by the National Chaplain Center discovered the unauthorized items. " I went to the VA Hospital in Iron Mountain today on business. While there I stopped at the Chapel and found pinky-purple curtains with mesh at the top, covering the altar. (You know the type. They use them between sick patients in the hospital). I stopped in my tracks, shocked at what I saw. I peeked behind the curtain, and found what used to be the welcoming part of the chapel, the Cross, a picture of Jesus, and other Christian icons familiar to the majority of Americans. I found Chaplain Bob Mueller, to ask what the meaning was of this change. This is what he told me. “A couple of months ago, an order came down from Washington DC to cover all things associated with Christianity in the VA. Their solution is to cover everything in all the VA Chapels across the country.” Chaplain Bob went on to say, “A few weeks ago an official from the Madison VA came down here to tell me to ‘stop talking about Jesus, and to stop reading Scripture out loud.’” Chaplain Bob also said that the rest of the Obama plan is to send more curtains to cover the rest of the stained glass windows, because there are Christian symbols on the stained glass. These photos reveal future plans by the White House. To use the same phrase President Obama so ‘eloquently’ used concerning other matters at the VA, ‘I’m mad as hell…” As Americans, we need to stand together to stop this insanity.

Obama About To "Unleash Hell" Warns US Senator

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine February 8, 2015

In a hard hitting interview conducted by Hugh Hewitt with US Senator Lindsey Graham, we are informed that Barack Obama is "about to unleash hell on the Middle East" by creating a nuclear arms race that will be the "mistake of a lifetime." With recent headlines tell us that Obama has agreed to roughly 80% of Iran's demands in negotiations over iran's nuclear program and that Iran is openly bragging that "Americans are begging us for a deal," Graham's assertions on this issue should be taken seriously. Iran is, again, influencing four major capitals. They’re spreading their influence all over the world, including South America. Why would you negotiate with a regime that is building an ICBM, that is sponsoring terrorism at the highest level in modern times? Why not just call a time out and say we’re not going to talk to you anymore about your nuclear program until you stop your weapons buildup and destabilizing the neighbors? Does anybody really believe that Barack Obama would use military force against Iran after he drew a red line against Assad and did nothing? The Israelis are in a box. The Israelis are not going to allow the ayatollahs to go nuclear. And the deal that we’re contemplating with Iran is North Korea in the making. And the Arabs and the Israelis are not going to allow the ayatollahs in Iran to have a nuclear capability only contained by the UN. That’s what we tried to do in North Korea. So Obama’s about to unleash hell on the Middle East. He’s about to create a nuclear arms race by wanting a deal with the Iranians so badly that he’s about to make the mistake of a lifetime. The full interview transcript can be read HERE and the headlined portion can be heard in the video below. When asked whether ISIS or Iran poses the greatest threat, Graham responds "Not even close – Iran with a nuclear capability is the greatest threat the world will know in my lifetime." Call it a conspiracy theory if you wish, but with recent inexplicable decisions being made on the part of the Obama administration, from arming Syrian rebels which then pledged allegiance to ISIS, to alienating our allie.... from poking the Russian bear to throwing US support behind terrorist groups..... US foreign policy has become one where it is almost impossible not to think that Barack Obama is deliberately trying to destabilize the entire world! When other world leaders are warning that the US is on a march toward WW3, basically telling Barack Obama to back off, and 4-star generals are warning Americans that Obama has allowed our national security agencies to be infiltrated by enemies, and Americans that believe in the constitution or are religious or considered survivalists are labeled as extremists and terrorists, then one has to consider, looking at the big picture, that Barack Obama is deliberately trying to destroy America from within. It is a question that has to be asked when we start compiling all the strategically bad decisions he has made over the last 6 years. I may not agree with Lindsey Graham on everything, but in this case, I do believe Obama is about to "unleash hell," not just on the Middle East, but across the entire globe.

Strong eruption of Fuego volcano, Guatemala

Posted by Adonai on February 08, 2015

Activity at Guatemala's Fuego volcano significantly increased late February 7, 2015 when series of strombolian-type explosions sent water vapor and ash up to 6 km into the air and temporarily closed international La Aurora airport. etc. The eruption started around 19:15 UTC and was characterized by increased strombolian-type explosions, effusion of lava flows and moderate to large pyroclastic flows that traveled to the southeastern side threatening the road between Antigua and Escuintla. Two lava flows have reached up to 2000 meters in length in the directions of Trinidad and El Jute, causing forest fires. Several pyroclastic flows were generated by partial collapses of the lava masses from the upper slopes and traveled several kilometers, VolcanoDiscovery explains. On Sunday, February 8, INSIVUMEH reported that activity is finally decreasing after 21 hours but fine ash can still reach distances of 20 km NW from the crater. Continuous explosions can still be heard to over 15 km in the the S and SW flanks of the volcanic complex. etc.

Egypt to join Russia-led Eurasian free trade zone

Published time: February 10, 2015 13:38 Edited time: February 10, 2015 15:15

Egypt has established a free trade zone with the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, president Sisi of Egypt announced at a joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We have reached an agreement to establish a free trade zone between Egypt and the Eurasian Economic Union," Egyptian President Abdel al-Sisi said. There was more than $4.5 billion of trade between Russia and Egypt in 2014, a more than 80 percent increase on the year before, said President Putin. Now it will be easier for Egyptian products to reach the markets of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Armenia, and vice-versa. etc. The two countries also agreed to create a Russian industrial zone near the Suez Canal. Russian businesses have stakes in more than 400 Egyptian companies. Russia and Egypt will work jointly on new investment projects, especially in transport, manufacturing, and energy – both oil and nuclear. Lukoil, Russia’s second largest oil company produces more than 16 percent of the oil coming from Egypt. Russia will help Egypt develop nuclear power plants and train personnel to create a new nuclear power industry in the country. Egypt also wants to boost profits from Russian tourists. The country’s tourist sector suffered greatly due to a downgrade in security in the wake of the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011 and is currently struggling to win back foreign visitors. In 2014, more than 3 million Russians traveled to Egypt for tourism despite the worsening economic situation in Russia.

Moscow Times Warns Of 'Global Escalation' Of Conflict! Russia To Declare War If US Arms Ukraine!

February 10, 2015

With Barack Obama, NATO and the west preparing to arm the nation of the Ukraine with lethal aid, this bombshell comes to us straight from the pages of the Moscow Times and the video report below from All News Pipeline friend Freedom Fighter Reports as Russia has announced they will declare war if the United States arms Ukraine. Edging ever closer to the fulfillment of prophecy, this Moscow Times story informs us that Russia would see the arming of Ukraine AS a declaration of war by the US and the west and furthermore see the US as a 'direct participant in the conflict'. With Ukraine now at a 'dangerous crossroads', the west is said to be trying to find an end to the conflict via 'peace talks' while the Kremlin strikes out at Angela Merkel and the west by warning to never issue ultimatum's to Putin after their latest bid to force Putin to agree to the 'peace plan' by Wednesday or face the latest round of sanctions. Informing us that 'the ante' is ready to be upped if Obama and the west arm Ukraine, we're also told that 'Washington or its' allies' could be responded to 'asymmetrically' on other fronts as the 1st real signs of World War 3 coming home to America are now being seen. The 2nd video below is an excellent compilation on recent news events leading up to WW3 coming to America called "WW3 News, Russia & West, No Peace In Hell." etc.. and the news article continues...

Europe Fractures: France Pivots To Putin, Cyprus Offers Moscow Military Base, Germany-US Splinter On Ukraine

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/08/2015 21:30 -0500

Following yesterday's summary of the utter farce that the Minsk Summit/Ukraine "peace" deal talks have become, the various parties involved appear to be fracturing even faster today. The headlines are coming thick and fast but most prescient appears to be: Despite John Kerry's denial of any split between Germany and US over arms deliveries to Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Steinmeier slammed Washington's strategy for being "not just risky but counterproductive." But perhaps most significantly is France's continued apparent pivot towards Russia... Following Francois Hollande's calls for greater autonomy for Eastern Ukraine, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has come out in apparent support of Russia (and specifically against the US), "we are part of a common civilization with Russia,” adding, "the interests of the Americans with the Russians are not the interests of Europe and Russia." Even NATO appears to have given up hope of peace as Stoltenberg's statements show little optimism and the decision by Cyprus to allow Russia to use its soil for military facilities suggests all is not at all well in the European 'union'.

Mr. Steinmeier also hit back at open criticism of Germany's position on weapons deliveries from U.S. Senators and others here on Saturday. The White House is mulling delivering weapons to Ukraine to support the country's fight against pro-Russia separatists in the country's east. "Perhaps we are so insistent because we know the region a bit," Mr. Steinmeier said. But John Kerry says, everything's fine... as he denies any split between U.S. and Europe on Russia policy... Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday denied any divisions between the U.S. and Europe over how to handle Russia, as Germany announced another high-level summit aimed at stemming the crisis in Ukraine.

Syrian army tears through the south to sweep Iran and Hizballah up to Israel’s Golan doorstep

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 11, 2015, 10:39 AM (IDT)

The large-scale offensive the Syrian army launched in southern Syria Sunday, Feb. 8 – the broadest in that region in the nearly-four year conflict – heralded Act III of the Iranian-Hizballah drive for a position on Israel’s Golan border, debkafile’s military sources report. Israel curtailed Act I on Jan 18 with an air strike which killed a dozen Iranian and Hizballah officers scooping out the Golan town of Quneitra for their new base. Among them were the commander of Iranian forces in Syria, Revolutionary Guards general Mohamad Ali Allah Dadi and a senior Hizballah officer Ali al-Tabtabani. This cut short a move to seize a forward position in the northern Golan and adjacent Hermon. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon then reiterated that Israel would not permit Iran and Hizballah to create a military enclave there for their forces to jump-start terrorist strikes and rocket attacks against Israel. Act II came ten days later with the Hizballah attack, aided by Iranian tactical intelligence, on an Israeli command patrol, in which killing Major Yochai Klingel and St. Sgt. Dror Nini were killed. Although nothing happened for twelve days – some Hizballah sources even suggested the account was closed – all the parties were braced for the next round in the struggle playing out for the Golan. On Jan. 30, Hizballah leader, Hassan Nasrallah stood up in Beirut for a furious speech to dictate terms: If Israel persisted in its refusal to live with an Iranian-Hizballah presence on the Golan, there would be war,he shouted. On Feb. 2, the influential Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the majlis foreign affairs and security committee, declared that the account with Israel over the Quneitra attack was still open and more “operations” were coming. And they did on Feb. 8 from an unexpected direction – the south. Elements of the Syrian army’s Ninth Division and 121st Brigade armed with 50 T-72 tanks led a sweeping Iranian-Hizballah offensive dubbed “Operation Ali Allah Dadi for Quneitra Martyrs.” With them were 4,000 Shiite fighters imported by Iran for the battle and several hundred Hizballah gunmen – all under the command of Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers. The operation started out with an Iranian-led force advancing on the southern Syrian town of Deraa – part of which is held by Syrian rebels - and heading for the junction of the Syrian-Jordanian and Israeli borders. Strong dust and sand storms over the region this week restricts visibility and kept Syrian fighter jets grounded. Nonetheless, the Syrian-Hizballah-Iranian force, by dint of its superior numbers and fire power, were able to drive Syrian rebels out of many of the sectors they held and push them back toward the Israeli border. By Tuesday night, ground reconnaissance had sighted the advancing force reaching a line 5-6 km south and east of Quneitra and in position to capture the Syrian Golan town. Monday, Feb. 9, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem emphasized that Israel’s efforts to create a buffer zone on the Golan, like the security enclave it maintained in South Lebanon, would not succeed. The object of the Quneitra offensive is clearly to root out Syrian rebel forces, claimed to be backed by Israel, from the positions they hold facing the Israeli Golan.  To replace them, a token Syrian contingent made up mostly of Shiite fighters trained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and an armed Hizballah force will move in. Tehran, Damascus and Hizballah are intent on forcing Israel to swallow the presence of their forces on the threshold of central and southern Golan - after their bid to park opposite the northern sector and the adjacent Hermon mountains was pre-empted by the Israeli air strike on their advance guard. This last challenge has so far gone without an Israeli response. Heavy weather conditions over the region offer Netanyahu and Ya’alon a few days’ space for determining their next move. But doing nothing will let Tehran come out of Act III as the winner and clinch the finale of the struggle for a forward position on Israel’s Golan doorstep.

'Hamas & Sharia Law Have Taken Over UC Davis': Student Senator

February 12 , 2015

“Hamas & Sharia law have taken over UC Davis,” proclaimed Azka Fayyaz, a member of the University of California, Davis' student senate, after a vote by the student government calling on the university to divest itself of companies that do business with Israel. “The student senator’s statement that Hamas and sharia law are taking over UC Davis is alarming," said the international spokesman for the Jewish campus organization, Hillel. He made the statement to the newsite Truth Revolt. "BDS [Boycott, Divestment, Sanction] supporters have aligned themselves with a terrorist entity and an ideology that would impose strict religious-based restrictions on everyone. If this is what BDS is about, it’s even worse than anyone thought. We hope that students of all faiths see this evidence that this is a hate-filled movement.” The resolution was sponsored by the group “Students for Justice in Palestine” and brought before the student senate for the vote. Hamas, the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, has been designated as a terrorist entity by the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom and Israel. Egypt recently banned the armed wing of Hamas, which it listed as a terrorist organization. In addition, both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have banned the Muslim Brotherhood and many of its affiliates for being terrorist groups. Hamas explicitly calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and for jihad as the means to make this happen. Fayyaz, who voted in favor of the resolution, was previously filmed holding a sign showing the Israeli Prime Minister with horns and a Hilter mustache giving the “Heil Hitler” salute. The sign read, “Netanyahu, Hitler’s Illegitimate Child.” The vote followed what was described as weeks of “whipping the campus into a venom-filled frenzy against the Jewish state” by those supporting the boycott. The morning following the vote, Jewish fraternity members of Alpha Epsilon Pi, awakened to discover that their house had been defaced with swastikas. “This whole week has not been a great week to be a Jewish student on campus and this is manifesting in an extremely physical way,” said Nathaniel Bernhard, vice president of the UC Davis chapter of AEPI. etc.. and the news story continues..

Feds Hold Hearing On Whether They Should ‘Regulate’ Sites Like Drudge, Infowars And The Economic Collapse Blog

By Michael Snyder, on February 11th, 2015

The control freaks that run our government always seem to want to “regulate” things that they do not like. And so it should be no surprise that there is a renewed push to regulate independent news websites. Sites like the Drudge Report, Infowars.com and The Economic Collapse Blog have been a thorn in the side of the establishment for years. You see, the truth is that approximately 90 percent of all news and entertainment in this country is controlled by just six giant media corporations. That is why the news seems to be so similar no matter where you turn. But in recent years the alternative media has exploded in popularity. People are hungry for the truth, and an increasing number of Americans are waking up to the fact that they are not getting the truth from the corporate-controlled media. But as the alternative media has grown, it was only going to be a matter of time before the establishment started cracking down on it. At the moment it is just the FEC and the FCC, but surely this is just the beginning. Our “Big Brother” government ultimately wants to control every area of our lives – and this especially applies to our ability to communicate freely with one another. The Federal Election Commission is an example of a federal rule making body that has gotten wildly out of control. Since just about anything that anyone says or does could potentially “influence an election”, it is not difficult for them to come up with excuses to regulate things that they do not like. And on Wednesday, the FEC held a hearing on whether or not they should regulate political speech on blogs, websites and YouTube videos… The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is holding a hearing today to receive public feedback on whether it should create new rules regulating political speech, including political speech on the Internet that one commissioner warned could affect blogs, YouTube videos and even websites like the Drudge Report. If you do not think that this could ever happen, you should consider what almost happened at the FEC last October… In October, then FEC Vice Chairwoman Ann M. Ravel promised that she would renew a push to regulate online political speech following a deadlocked commission vote that would have subjected political videos and blog posts to the reporting and disclosure requirements placed on political advertisers who broadcast on television. On Wednesday, she will begin to make good on that promise. “Some of my colleagues seem to believe that the same political message that would require disclosure if run on television should be categorically exempt from the same requirements when placed in the Internet alone,” Ravel said in an October statement. “As a matter of policy, this simply does not make sense.” “In the past, the Commission has specifically exempted certain types of Internet communications from campaign finance regulations,” she lamented. “In doing so, the Commission turned a blind eye to the Internet’s growing force in the political arena.” As our nation continues to drift toward totalitarianism, it is only a matter of time before political speech on the Internet is regulated. It is already happening in other countries all around the globe, and control freak politicians such as Ravel will just keep pushing until they get what they want. The way that they are spinning it this time around is that they desperately need to do something “about money in politics”… Noting the 32,000 public comments that came into the FEC in advance of the hearing, Democratic Commissioner Ellen L. Weintraub said, “75 percent thought that we need to do more about money in politics, particularly in the area of disclosure. And I think that’s something that we can’t ignore.” And it isn’t just a few control freak Democrats that want these changes. The Brennan Center for Justice, the Campaign Legal Center, the League of Women Voters and Public Citizen were all expected to testify in favor of more government regulation on the Internet at the hearing. Fortunately, other organizations are doing what they can to warn the general population. For example, the following comes from the Electronic Frontier Foundation… Increased regulation of online speech is not only likely to chill participation in the public debate, but it may also threaten individual speakers’ privacy and right to post anonymously. In so doing, it may undermine two goals of campaign finance reform: protecting freedom of political speech and expanding political participation. As we stated in our joint comments to the FEC back in 2005 [pdf], “the Internet provides a counter-balance to the undue dominance that ‘big money’ has increasingly wielded over the political process in the past half-century.” We believe that heightened regulation of online political speech will hamper the Internet’s ability to level the playing field. Meanwhile, Barack Obama and the FCC are using net neutrality as an excuse to impose lots of new regulations on Internet activity. Ajit Pai is an FCC commissioner who is opposed to this plan. He recently sent out a tweet holding what he calls “President Obama’s 332-page plan to regulate the Internet“… Ajit Pai’s description of “President Obama’s 332-page plan to regulate the Internet” sounds Orwellian. He tweeted a picture of himself holding the 332-page plan just below a picture of a smiling Barack Obama with a comment, “I wish the public could see what’s inside.” The implication depicted Obama as George Orwell’s “Big Brother.” Pai also released a statement: “President Obama’s plan marks a monumental shift toward government control of the Internet. It gives the FCC the power to micromanage virtually every aspect of how the Internet works,” he said. “The plan explicitly opens the door to billions of dollars in new taxes on broadband… These new taxes will mean higher prices for consumers and more hidden fees that they have to pay.” etc... and the news story continues...

White House omits Jews as ISIS targets in war proposal

By Dana Bash, CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Updated 7:57 AM ET, Thu February 12, 2015

Washington (CNN) Bipartisan criticism of President Barack Obama's proposed authorization of force against ISIS mostly has to do with the use of U.S. troops and limits on the commander-in-chief. But one Republican lawmaker noticed something else that he calls quite troubling - omission of the word "Jews." Freshman Lee Zeldin is the only Republican Jewish member of Congress, and says it immediately leapt off the page that the President's proposed resolution specifically singles out several ethnic groups threatened by ISIS: Iraqi Christians, Yezidis and Turkmens, but says nothing about Jews. "I see an understanding, a recognition in the resolution with regards to ISIS attacks on Muslims, on Christians and others, and I didn't see a reference to Jews," Zeldin told CNN in an interview. "And one of the efforts I've been involved in is trying to raise awareness for the rising tide of anti-semitism." The New York Republican questioned whether the White House deliberately left out Jews as an ethnic group that ISIS has threatened. "I think that when the White House is drafting a resolution for the authorization of force, that every single word, every phrase in there is done deliberately -- it has to be," said Zeldin. "Jews should have been included by the White House," he said. The omission comes on the heels of a recent comment from Obama called the attack on a Kosher deli in Paris "random." The White House was later forced to clarify the President didn't mean to imply the incident wasn't "motivated by anti-Semitism," according to press secretary Josh Earnest.

Speechless on Iranian Nukes

By Noah Beck February 10, 2015 , 8:00 am

A bad deal on Iranian nukes would be so catastrophic to global security that presidential resistance to a related speech – by the leader of an allied democracy, who may be the greatest expert on the issue – should leave everyone speechless.   The Obama administration’s outraged accusation that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu violated protocol by accepting House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to address Congress is preposterous: Bibi’s speech before Congress in 2011 came about in the exact same way with no similar Obama outrage (predictably, given the upcoming 2012 election). And the New York Times advanced this “violated protocol” narrative all too willingly, only to correct itself as inconspicuously as possible, revealing yet again its own anti-Israel agenda. Ironically, Obama’s main, if not only, motivation for visiting Israel in 2008 (and promising policies far from those he eventually adopted) was to gain the support of Jewish voters, back when he needed them to win the presidency.   Now Obama is trying everything in his power to unseat Bibi, including what he accuses Bibi of doing: meddling in another democracy’s domestic politics. Whitehouse Spokesperson Josh Earnest’s inadvertent slip about hoping that Bibi gets voted out in Israel’s next elections was just the appetizer. The Obama administration will boycott Bibi on his next trip and is boosting the profile of his political opponents, as Obama-linked strategists actively support Israeli campaigns to defeat Bibi (after already slighting the democratically elected leader of America’s top Mideast ally on countless other occasions).   Worse still, Obama and many commentators upbraid Bibi for trying to influence the very negotiations whose outcome will decide whether military force is needed, creating an absurd catch-22. If Bibi does nothing to prevent Obama from making Iran a threshold nuclear state, then he will be excoriated for any Israeli military attack undertaken to defang that threat; but if he speaks up now while a non-military solution is still possible (with adjustments to Obama’s disastrous negotiating strategy), then he is accused of meddling in U.S. politics and breaching protocol.   But, as the Washington Post pointed out, there are compelling reasons to question Obama’s Iran policy, which has been formulated by relatively inexperienced advisers and roundly critiqued by former secretaries of state and his own former adviser, veteran Mideast expert Dennis Ross, among other heavyweights. Yet Obama appears determined to quell any dissent – whether from Congress, policy experts, or the allied countries most immediately endangered by his inept strategy.  Separation of powers improves governance precisely because overly concentrated power tends to corrupt and no single institution has a monopoly on wisdom. Congress has been involved in Iran-related decisions and sanctions for decades, so how could it be prudent or constitutional for Obama to circumvent Congress on this issue? And yet that is exactly what Obama is trying to do by unilaterally weakening sanctions and vowing to veto any bill requiring Congressional approval of his nuclear deal with Iran.  Obama’s extraordinary fear of different views speaks volumes about his amateurish policymaking approach and his dubious motives. Is he trying to get a deal at any cost just to show an ostensible foreign policy win after so many conspicuous failures (from Ukraine to Syria)? Does he not realize that his legacy would be far more tarnished as the leader who enabled the world’s leading sponsor of terror to acquire nuclear weapons?  The current deal reportedly allows Iranian uranium enrichment to continue with about 7,000 centrifuges and eventually ends inspections, leaving Iran as a threshold nuclear state. The day Tehran decides to go nuclear, terrorism itself becomes exponentially more lethal, and a wave of nuclear proliferation will spread across the Middle East. Iran’s rivals will seek to deter it with nukes of their own, making the world’s most dangerous and unstable region a nuclear powder keg, with Islamists like ISIS eager to grab whatever nuclear materials they can.

Russia may be in the middle of an economic crisis, but the country's defence budget is surging. Military spending is set to rise by an astonishing 33% this year, according to the Associated Press. That follows double-digit percentage increases in previous years, and will make it Russia's highest defence budget ever, running to 4.2% of GDP, according to the Moscow Times. etc.. and the news story continues...

Black Leader: ‘God Created Marriage’ So ‘He’s The Only One That Can Define It’

By Penny Starr February 12, 2015

(CNSNews.com) – Speaking at an event at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Rev. Garland Hunt said efforts by homosexual and other activists to redefine marriage defies its creation by God as the sacred union of one man and one woman. “God created marriage; therefore, he’s the only one that can define it,” said Hunt, president of the nationwide Christian advocacy organization Prison Fellowship. The event was held to unveil FRC’s Marriage and Religion Research Institute’s (MARRI) 5th annual Index of Family Belonging and Rejection, which measures the state of American families and the impact on children between the ages of 15 and 17 based on whether they are being raised by their biological married parents or in other family arrangements. “Based on 2008-2012 data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the U.S. Belonging Index is 46 percent and the corresponding Rejection Index is 54 percent,” the introduction to the report states. “This means that 46 percent of teenagers aged 15 to 17 have lived with both biological parents always married since their birth, whereas 54 percent of teenagers aged 15 to 17 have lived in broken homes with biological parents who either never married or are no longer married,” it states. The numbers are even starker for black teenagers, according to the report, with only 17 percent of teens aged 15 to 17 living with both biological married parents. Following prepared remarks about the report by columnist and author Star Parker, who is also the founder and president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, and Hunt, the panelists were asked about the U.S. Supreme Court agreeing to hear arguments in June about whether or not state laws banning same-sex marriages are constitutional. “Contrary to popular opinion, actually the Supreme Court is not the final arbitrator,” Hunt said. “So we’re lining up with the final arbitrator,” Hunt said, referring to God. Hunt said even if the court rules against the states that have put bans on same-sex marriage, it is up to Americans to stand up for what they believe in. “I believe if the court decides in not as God defined it, the people have to stand forth and hold true to what we believe from family to family, community to community, church to church,” Hunt said. etc.. and the news story continues...

Watch as they strip you of all your freedom, of all your rights and dictatorship takes over, watch.

martial law signs

American is presently riding the crest of emotion with regard to supporting President Obama’s declaration of war upon ISIS for the murder of humanitarian, Kayla Mueller. As I pointed out in yesterday’s article, avenging Kayla Mueller is not the goal, it is the excuse. When has foreign policy ever been about one person? And why does Obama need three years to pursue ISIS when it should only take 3 days given the fact that they assets are fully exposed to American air superiority without a counter measure. No, this operation is about putting American boots on the ground in Syria in that short and medium range missile batters can be installed which will keep the Russians from intervening when America invades Iran. America desperately needs to invade Iran in order to force them to stop undermining the Federal Reserve’s Petrodollar because Iran is selling its oil for gold. This is not about Kayla, this war is about the Federal Reserve’s continued existence. America Is War Weary America was sick of the Iraqi war and our people are tired of the Afghan war. It will not take long for the emotion over the death of Kayla to subside until we are sick of “pursuing ISIS”. In large part, America may be largely a nation of sheep, but this country will not accept the sacrifice it will require of the American people to fully support a world war. For when Assad is unseated as Syria’s ruler. Make no mistake about it, Putin and his allies will acting decisively. For example: China could move on Taiwan Russia could attack Ukraine and Eastern Europe North Korea could attack South Korea Any of these actions, and more, will quickly put the American people in the midst of a largely unanticipated all-out war that was unanticipated by the public. The American people are war weary and will not make this sacrifice willingly. Therefore, compliance and unquestionable obedience must be exacted. And how will this be done? This will be accomplished , ultimately, through the control of food and labor. Of course, with all war efforts (e.g. Civil War, World I and World War II), dissidents will be negated by removal or worse under the National Defense Authorization Act. I often wonder what goes through people’s minds as they read articles about Executive Order 13603, or the NDAA, and how the government will own and control everything from food to your life. Despite overwhelming documentation, do people really believe that the government is kidding when they arbitrarily enact executive actions and laws which are so unconstitutional and antithetical to our American traditions?  The National Defense Authorization Act For the novice to the freedom movement, the NDAA is the single most draconian piece legislation in American history. The “law” allows the President, or his designees, to indefinitely detain an individual without legal counsel or due process. It is life imprisonment or worse for political dissidents. Click here to read about the ACLU’s assessment of the NDAA. The NDAA will be used to remove members of the alternative media and others deemed to possess dangerous ideas. This is one of the main reasons that the NSA monitors our every communication as a threat matrix score exists for every American. The implication should be clear as to why we now have massive data mining of our citizens. Food Will Be used to Enforce Compliance After the dissidents are removed, the second tier of this plan will come into play as food will become a measure of control. And as you will see, this plan has been in the works for several decades. In December, 1974, National Security Council directed by Henry Kissinger completed a classified study entitled, “National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.” The study was based upon the unproven claims that population growth in Lesser Developed Countries (LDC) constituted a serious risk to America’s national security. In November 1975 President Ford, based upon the tenets of NSSM 200 outlined a classified plan to forcibly reduce population growth in LDC countries through birth control, war and famine. Ford’s new national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, in conjunction with CIA Director, George H. W. Bush, were tasked with implementing the plan and the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture assisted in the implementation of these insane genocidal plans. Today, we also see the manifestation of NSSM 200 through Bill Gates’ eugenics policies of mass sterilizations and vaccinations on the continent of Africa. NSSM 200 formally raised the question, “Would food be considered to be an instrument of national power? … Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can’t/won’t control their population growth?” Kissinger has answered these questions when he stated that he was predicting a series of contrived famines, created by mandatory programs and this would make exclusive reliance on birth control programs unnecessary in this modern day application of eugenics in a scheme that would allow Henry to have his cake and eat it too in that the world would finally be rid of the “useless eaters!” Third world population control, using food as one of the primary weapons, has long been a matter of official covert national policy and a portion of President Obama’s Executive Order (EO 13603),National Defense Resources Preparedness is a continuation of that policy. Only now, the intended targets are not the LDC’s but, instead, the targets are the American people. With one out of six Americans on food stamps, and a reduction of these benefits under way, the policy of using food as a weapon against the American people already has a significant beachhead. With the stroke of his pen, Obama has total and absolute control over all food where his EO 13603 states: e) “Food resources” means all commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption. “Food resources” also means potable water packaged in commercially marketable containers, all starches, sugars, vegetable and animal or marine fats and oils, seed, cotton, hemp, and flax fiber, but does not mean any such material after it loses its identity as an agricultural commodity or agricultural product. (f) “Food resource facilities” means plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage (including cold storage) of food resources, and for the domestic distribution of farm equipment and fertilizer…” This unconstitutional EO is particularly disturbing in that it clearly states that the government has control over anything that is “capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals…” If you thought that you and Fido were going to get through the coming food crisis by storing and consuming dog food, think again. How will farmers maintain the nation’s food supply when all fertilizer, their farm equipment and all of their vehicles are under the control of this sociopathic President or the next power-hungry President? The Wide-Ranging Food Control Policies of EO 13603 13603The term “all food storage facilities” includes your refrigerator, your pantry and even the very food in your cabinets as well as what is on your kitchen table. In short, anywhere you keep food is now under the control of the government and can be seized and redistributed. Those who are storing food, you better find a way to hide at least a portion of your stockpile. Have you recently been scratching your head in bewilderment as you watch on the news as the Amish have had their farms raided, raw milk producers have been jailed and the kids running lemonade stands have been shut down and ticketed? Now you know why these abuses are being perpetrated by the government in that it represents a mere conditioning process designed to get all U.S. citizens used to the idea that the government owns all food and food production. Welcome to the Hunger Games, American style. The most clever aspect of this EO is that no Hegelian Dialectic (i.e., false flag event) is needed as a pretense to seize food and imperil survivability. Section 201(b) of the Obama EO clearly states that this EO is enforceable under both emergency and non-emergency conditions.” The lack of food will make people comply with a war effort. What will Be the Impetus? Nobody can be sure on how this will be rolled out. However, I believe that former DHS director, Janet Napolitano left a huge clue in her last speech in office. Below is an excerpt from her speech. “A massive and “serious” cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming, and a natural disaster, the likes of which the nation has never seen is also likely and on its way.” Outgoing DHS Director, Janet Napolitano, August 27, 2013 A successful cyber-attack would greatly inhibit the transport of food, thus leading to food shortages. This would undoubtedly allow President Obama to utilize the option to invoke EO 13603. Food will make people comply, but there is a second and more nefarious part to EO 13603 and it has to do with civilian and military conscription. How You Will Be Made to Participate In WW III According to EO 13603, the President, or the head of any federal agency that he shall designate, can conscript “persons of outstanding experience and ability without compensation,” in both “peacetime and times of national emergency.” I can hear the Obama supporters now as they will write to me and say, “Obama would never do that, you are drinking from the Kool-Aid”. Well, here it is, you can read it for yourself. Sec. 502. Consultants. The head of each agency otherwise delegated functions under this order is delegated the authority of the President under sections 710(b) and (c) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2160(b), (c), to employ persons of outstanding experience and ability without compensation and to employ experts, consultants, or organizations. The authority delegated by this section may not be redelegated. This means that Obama, and his fellow communists, can seize any resource, property, or person at any time for any reason, including being able to force that person to perform assigned labor without being paid. There is only ONE word for forced, “uncompensated employment”. That would is slavery. Congratulations President Obama, you have effectively repealed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. Section 601 of the act specifies, in part, how far the government can go in terms of making you their slave. Sec. 601. Secretary of Labor. (a) The Secretary of Labor, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of other agencies, as deemed appropriate by the Secretary of Labor, shall: (1) collect and maintain data necessary to make a continuing appraisal of the Nation’s workforce needs for purposes of national defense; (2) upon request by the Director of Selective Service, and in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, assist the Director of Selective Service in development of policies regulating the induction and deferment of persons for duty in the armed services; (3) upon request from the head of an agency with authority under this order, consult with that agency with respect to: (i) the effect of contemplated actions on labor demand and utilization; (ii) the relation of labor demand to materials and facilities requirements; and (iii) such other matters as will assist in making the exercise of priority and allocations functions consistent with effective utilization and distribution of labor; (4) upon request from the head of an agency with authority under this order: (i) formulate plans, programs, and policies for meeting the labor requirements of actions to be taken for national defense purposes; and (ii) estimate training needs to help address national defense requirements and promote necessary and appropriate training programs If the above section was merely going to be a military draft, then the Secretary of Labor would not have to be involved. However, as you will note the “Secretary of Labor, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and heads of other agencies, as deemed appropriate by the Secretary of Labor, shall: …assist in the development of policies regulating the induction and deferment of persons for duty in the armed services;… formulate plans, programs, and policies for meeting the labor requirements of actions to be taken for national defense purposes; and (ii) estimate training needs to help address national defense requirements and promote necessary and appropriate training programs…”. Refer back to section 502 of sections 710(b) and (c) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2160(b), (c); these are the people that the Secretary of the Labor will conscript in order “to employ persons of outstanding experience and ability without compensation and to employ experts, consultants, or organizations”. This, my fellow Americans, is a civilian conscription and this is why the Secretary of Labor is in charge instead of the head of the Selective Service! Under these provisions, the government believes that they can send you anywhere, to work on anything of their choosing. Conclusion It is time that America wakes up to the fact that when the government passes laws like EO 13603 and the NDAA, they anticipate and plan to use these laws. It is time to remove the cognitive dissonance blinders. This coming war is not about revenge for Kayla, only the woefully ignorant and the hopelessly naive believe this fiction. The coming war is about control.

Is Christian Persecution Reaching Biblical Proportions?

Sunday, March 01, 2015

Evangelist Franklin Graham says President Obama is sympathetic to Islam and is giving Muslim groups access to influence U.S. foreign policy, which eventually will lead to persecution of Christians and Jews in America. In an exclusive interview on CBN’s 700 Club Interactive program, Graham told host Gordon Robertson that the president’s upbringing is the reason he favors Islam. “We’re going to see persecution in this country because our president is very sympathetic to Islam and the reason I say that, Gordon, is because his father was a Muslim, gave him a Muslim name, Barack Hussein Obama. His mother married another Muslim man, they moved to Indonesia, he went to Indonesian schools. So, growing up his frame of reference and his influence as a young man was Islam. It wasn’t Christianity, it was Islam,” he said. Graham, who heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Christian relief agency Samaritan’s Purse, has been outspoken in his criticism of President Obama. He said the president has opened the doors of the White House to Muslim groups who are shaping foreign policy, including how the administration views the war on terror and especially U.S. relations with Israel. “There are Muslims that have access to him in the White House. Our foreign policy has a lot of influence now, from Muslims. We see the Prime Minister of Israel being snubbed by the President and by the White House and by the Democrats and it’s because of the influence of Islam. They hate Israel and they hate Christians, and so the storm is coming I believe Gordon,” the evangelist said. Graham agreed it was President Bush who first sought out Muslim groups for advice after the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. “After 9-11 the Bush Administration began to allow Muslims to come into various governmental agencies to advise us how to respond to Muslims and how to respond to Islam. …What’s happened is you now have radical Islamists who are advising various levels of government and it’s going to get worse and nobody seems to be alarmed about it. Nobody is saying anything about this and we as Christians are going to lose.” Viewers can see the full interview on the 700 Club Interactive on Monday, March 2 on the ABC Family at 9:30 am EDT.

Egypt court labels Palestine's Hamas as terrorist group

Sat Feb 28, 2015 11:45AM

A court in Egypt has labeled the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas a “terrorist” organization, judicial sources say. The verdict was issued on Saturday by the Cairo Court of Urgent Matters, in a move that could further sour the relations between the Egyptian government and the Palestinian group. The ruling came weeks after the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, was also labeled a “terrorist” organization. The Cairo Court of Urgent Matters on January 31 claimed in a lawsuit that the group was involved in recent attacks against Egypt’s security forces. Hamas’ spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, at the time rejected “the Egyptian court’s decision against Qassam Brigades,” adding, “It is a political, dangerous decision that serves only the Zionist occupation.” A source close to Hamas’ armed wing also said the resistance movement would no longer accept Egypt as a broker between Palestinians and the Israeli regime, saying, “After the court’s decision, Egypt is no longer a mediator in Palestinian-Israeli matters. ”Hamas reaction Following the Egyptian court’s announcement on Saturday, the Palestinian resistance group released a statement describing the court’s decision as "shocking and dangerous." "The Egyptian court's decision to list the Hamas movement as a terror organization is shocking and is dangerous, and it targets the Palestinian people and its factions of resistance," the statement added. etc.. and the news story continues...

QUICK WATCH1:12 Barack Obama The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran. Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack. According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back. The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran. Al-Jarida quoted "well-placed" sources as saying that Netanyahu, along with Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon, and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, had decided to carry out airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program after consultations with top security commanders. According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army's chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran's nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel's security.” The sources added that Gantz and his commanders prepared the requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets reportedly even carried out experimental flights in Iran's airspace after they managed to break through radars. Brzezinski's idea Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast. “We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’" Israel mistakenly attacked the American Liberty ship during the Six-Day War in 1967. Brzezinski was a top candidate to become an official advisor to President Obama, but he was downgraded after Republican and pro-Israel Democratic charges during the campaign that Brzezinski’s anti-Israel attitude would damage Obama at the polls.

Netanyahu: ‘Even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand.’

March 4, 2015 by Daniel Greenfield

In 1967, Benjamin Netanyahu skipped his high school graduation in Pennsylvania to head off to Israel to help in the Six Day War. That same year Obama moved with his mother to Indonesia. When Obama suggested that Israel return to the pre-1967 borders, described by Ambassador Eban, no right-winger, as “Auschwitz borders,” it was personal for Netanyahu. Like many Israeli teens, he had put his life on hold and risked it protecting those borders. In the seventies, Obama was part of the Choom Gang and Netanyahu was sneaking up on Sabena Flight 571 dressed as an airline technician. Inside were four terrorists who had already separated Jewish passengers and taken them hostage. Two hijackers were killed. Netanyahu took a bullet in the arm. The Prime Minister of Israel defended the operation in plain language. “When blackmail like this succeeds, it only leads to more blackmail,” she said. Netanyahu’s speech in Congress was part of that same clash of worldviews. His high school teacher remembered him saying that his fellow students were living superficially and that there was “more to life than adolescent issues.” He came to Congress to cut through the issues of an administration that has never learned to get beyond its adolescence. Obama’s people had taunted him with by calling him “chickens__t.” They had encouraged a boycott of his speech and accused him of insulting Obama. They had thrown out every possible distraction to the argument he came to make. Unable to argue with his facts, they played Mean Girls politics instead. Benjamin Netanyahu had left high school behind to go to war. Now he was up against overgrown boys and girls who had never grown beyond high school. But even back then he had been, as a fellow student had described him, “The lone voice in the wilderness in support of the conservative line.” “We were all against the war in Vietnam because we were kids,” she said. The kids are still against the war. Against all the wars; unless it’s their own wars. Netanyahu grew up fast. They never did. Netanyahu could have played their game, but instead he began by thanking Obama. His message was not about personal attacks, but about the real threat that Iran poses to his country, to the region and to the world. He made that case decisively and effectively as few other leaders could. He did it using plain language and obvious facts. Netanyahu reminded Congress that the attempt to stop North Korea from going nuclear using inspectors failed. The deal would not mean a denuclearized Iran. “Not a single nuclear facility would be demolished,” he warned. And secret facilities would continue working outside the inspections regime. He quoted the former head of IAEA’s inspections as saying, “If there’s no undeclared installation today in Iran, it will be the first time in 20 years that it doesn’t have one.” And Netanyahu reminded everyone that Iran’s “peaceful” nuclear program would be backed by ongoing development of its intercontinental ballistic missile program that would not be touched under the deal. He warned that the deal would leave Iran with a clear path to a nuclear endgame that would allow it to “make the fuel for an entire nuclear arsenal” in “a matter of weeks”. Iran’s mission is to export Jihad around the world, he cautioned. It’s a terrorist state that has murdered Americans. While Obama claims to have Iran under control, it has seized control of an American ally in Yemen and is expanding its influence from Iraq to Syria. Its newly moderate government “hangs gays, persecutes Christians, jails journalists.” It’s just as bad as ISIS, except that ISIS isn’t close to getting a nuclear bomb. “America’s founding document promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Iran’s founding document pledges death, tyranny, and the pursuit of jihad,” he said. It was the type of clarity that he had brought to the difficult questions of life as a teenager. It is a clarity that still evades Obama today. A measure of how thoroughly Netanyahu exposed Obama’s unseriousness can be found in Obama’s reply that before taking a position on a nuclear deal “it is very important not to be distracted by the nature of the Iranian regimes’ ambitions when it comes to territory or terrorism.” For Netanyahu and for many in Congress, Iran’s terrorism is not a distraction; it is the main issue. Obama insists in that same interview that “sanctions are not sufficient to prevent Iran from pursuing its nuclear ambitions.” And yet the entire premise of the deal he’s pushing is that the sanctions forced Iran to come to the negotiating table and agree to give up its race for the bomb. Sanctions can’t stop Iran from going nuclear, but negotiations using the sanctions as leverage can. And to believe all this, we have to avoid being distracted by Iran’s invasions of other countries and support for terrorists. It’s self-contradictory nonsense that wouldn’t pass muster in a high school paper in 1967. And yet it’s the unchallenged argument dominating the political class, foreign policy experts and the media today. Netanyahu came to challenge the argument that Iran could be appeased out of getting the bomb. He had to do it because Obama and his media allies had ignored or shut up everyone who had made it before him. By making Netanyahu’s very appearance into the issue, they hoped to shut him down the way they had senators from their own party. They succeeded in making his appearance controversial, but that just meant that more people were listening when he finally broke through and spoke. “Would Iran be less aggressive when sanctions are removed and its economy is stronger? If Iran is gobbling up four countries right now while it’s under sanctions, how many more countries will Iran devour when sanctions are lifted? Would Iran fund less terrorism when it has mountains of cash with which to fund more terrorism?” he asked. It’s a question that the administration and its defenders do not want to answer because it strikes at the heart of their logic of appeasement. The appeasers claim that the negotiations will stabilize the region. Instead Netanyahu demonstrated that they will lead to a region in which every major Muslim country has nukes and is ready to use them. The appeasers insist that we need to ally with Iran to stop ISIS. Netanyahu brought clarity to that as well. “Iran and ISIS are competing for the crown of militant Islam. One calls itself the Islamic Republic. The other calls itself the Islamic State. Both want to impose a militant Islamic empire first on the region and then on the entire world,” he warned. “They just disagree among themselves who will be the ruler of that empire,” Netanyahu offered an alternative to another worthless nuclear agreement by focusing not only on Iran’s nuclear capability, but on its intentions. He asked the world to turn its attention to stopping Iran from attacking its neighbors and engaging in terrorism. The things that Obama calls a distraction are for Benjamin Netanyahu the main point. The former high school student who had been described as a “lone voice in the wilderness” closed his speech by saying, “Even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand.” Netanyahu knows something about standing alone. No Israeli politician has faced the continuing level of hate by the left that he has. The mockery and sneers directed at him by Obama’s media allies in these past weeks have been nothing. The teenager who had learned to stand by his values in a high school in the sixties and as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations in the eighties has let it all roll off him. In war, Netanyahu had nearly drowned in the Suez Canal. In politics, he has kept his head above water. In Congress, he concluded by quoting Moses. “Be strong and resolute, neither fear nor dread them.” It can refer to Iran or to the political mobs of the left who thought that smearing him would silence him. Netanyahu understood what was at stake when Israel was fighting for its life in 1967. He did not let the comforts of suburbia blind him to the personal sacrifices that he had to make by going to Israel. That is why he came to America now.

Has Russia Just Changed The Future Of Warfare Completely, And Rendered US High-Tech Weapons Systems Inoperable?

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine March 6, 2015

Via a tip from an ANP trusted source, we see a few pieces of a puzzle that when added to the big picture offers us insight to what could be one of the biggest game changers in history, putting the Russian military in a position of total dominance over the US military in any upcoming war, which as was explained in an earlier article, is rapidly approaching. Back in early November 2014, the Intenet was abuzz with talk of a story titled "What frightened the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?," where it was claimed that an incident in April 2014 "demoralized" the crew of the USS Donald Cook, when a Russian Sukhoi-24 (SU-24) fighter jet buzzed the the USS Donald Cook, not carrying bombs or missiles, but rendering them completely inoperable with the use of an "electronic warfare device." As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control. The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft - unarmed - repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away. Without any reports at all from any MSM source or confirmation from Russia, people waved this away as rumor, speculation or an outright hoax, but in March 2015, Russian News agency Sputnik, which is owned an operated by the Russian government, announced that Russia had unveiled a new "revolutionary electronic warfare system." Russia's new Richag-AV radar and sonar jamming system can be mounted on helicopters, ships and other military equipment to jam potential adversaries' weapons systems from distances of several hundred kilometers away; it has been hailed by developers as having no analogue anywhere in the world. Sounds a lot like the type of advanced technology that was described in the November report about Russia's ability to completely render one of America's most advanced missile destroyers completely inoperable, doesn't it? Russia is also reportedly advancing their naval capabilities, including the addition of 50 new vessels in 2015 alone: The Navy is continually developing their ocean strategy, aimed at protecting government interests and its economic activity in deferent regions of the world. “The Navy is able to meet the requirements, with surface ships and nuclear-powered submarines, to accomplish a range of tasks for the purpose from different remote basing points,” said Chirkov. In March 2015, Sputnik also secifically highlighted a "catastrophic event" when a US military satellite, after suffering a "sudden spike in temperature," exploded, sending dozens of chunks of debris hurtling into Earth's orbit. Was this a shot across the bow from Russia, showing exactly what they could do, not only to our warships, planes and submarines, but to our satellite systems as well? Our source tells us this is "actually the biggest story in the world," because if Russia is capable of disabling the USS Donald Cook and the entire US Navy with their "revolutionary electronic warfaresystems," then Russia has already won any type of traditional war. This would leave the US one option, the nuclear option and as was explained in the previous article, Russia is already preparing for that as well.

Fifth Russian Yasen-Class Attack Nuclear Sub Begins Construction in March

Russia’s Sevmash shipyard will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its fifth Yasen-class nuclear submarine, the Arkhangelsk, on March 19.

15:31 06.03.2015(updated 15:48 06.03.2015)

A groundbreaking ceremony for the fifth Yasen-class nuclear submarine, the Arkhangelsk, will be held at Russia’s Sevmash shipyard on March 19, media reports said. The Yasen-class subs are touted as the most advanced nuclear-powered multipurpose underwater craft in the Russian Navy. They are projected to replace Russia's Soviet-era attack submarines like the Akula-class subs, and are believed to be a counterpart to the US nuclear-powered Seawolf- and Virginia-class submarines. Russia is currently constructing three Yasen-class submarines, in addition to the one that was put into service by the Russian Navy earlier. All future Yasen-class submarines will have a state-of-the-art design featuring a modified hull profile and modernized equipment. The hull is made of low-magnetic steel. The Yasen-class is the first Russian submarine to be equipped with a spherical sonar system, which consists of a spherical bow array, flank arrays and a towed array. Due to the large size of this spherical array, the torpedo tubes are slanted and placed behind the main control compartment. In addition to its 533-mm torpedoes, a Yasen-class submarine is capable of firing cruise missiles from its eight vertical launching systems. They also can carry Onyx and Kalibr supersonic anti-ship missiles or land attack cruise missiles. The submarine has a crew of about 90, which suggests a high degree of automation in the submarine's different systems. For comparison's sake, the newest US Virginia-class attack submarine has a crew of 134.

Obama Makes Toppling Putin His Top Priority

Weapons for the Islamic State (ISIS), weapons and sanctions against Russia: Obama prioritizes weakening Russia, over weakening ISIS

This article originally appeared at Global Research Michael Snyder noted at Global Research on March 1st, that the U.S. is now air-dropping weapons into ISIS territory inside Syria. The U.S. is arming ISIS against Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, whom Obama wants to remove. Snyder asks rhetorically: “We have the most sophisticated military on the entire planet and yet we drop weapons into the hands of the enemy by mistake? Come on.” Can it be that the U.S. Air Force doesn’t have maps showing the half of Syria that’s controlled by ISIS? Of course not. ISIS’s chunk of the country constitutes almost the entire northeastern half of Syria. Snyder further notes: “When it comes to airstrikes [against ISIS], the Obama administration has had an ‘Iraq first’ policy. This has put ISIS on a defensive posture in Iraq, but this has actually encouraged expansion of ISIS in Syria. ISIS is just following the path of least resistance. Is Obama trying to discourage ISIS from committing troops and resources in Iraq because he actually wants them to focus on taking down the Assad regime in Syria?” Well, it’s certainly working. Snyder also notes that, “ISIS has almost doubled the land it controls in Syria since the US-led coalition began airstrikes against the extremist group in the summer, a new map has revealed.” He points out the obvious conclusion: “Obama knows all of this. He just wants to take down Assad.” He closes with the question: “So is Barack Obama actually trying to help ISIS take over Syria?” However, Snyder ignores one crucial thing: the reason why Obama is so obsessed with causing regime-change in Syria. Bashar al-Assad is an ally of Russia, and Obama’s chief foreign-policy objective is to defeat Russia, not to defeat Islamic extremism. Whereas President George W. Bush did nothing to defeat Islamic extremism (and he may actually be said to have created ISIS by his overthrow of Saddam Hussein and replacement of him by a Shiite, bigoted anti-Sunni, regime in Iraq), President Barack Obama started his Presidency with an authentic focus on killing Osama bin Laden, and on similarly droning-to-death most of Al Qaeda’s top leaders, as well as many Islamic extremists in Yemen and in Pakistan. So: no one can say that Obama just doesn’t care about Islamic extremism (which one could say about Bush, though perhaps Bush did care and was merely too stupid to be at all effective against it). Obama does care about suppressing Islamic extremism; but he cares more about causing regime-change in Russia. (So do Republicans, which is why Bush was even weaker against Al Qaeda than Clinton was, and far weaker than Obama has been.) Almost all Republicans, plus the top level of the Democratic Party such as Obama, hate Russia, even after communism ended and the Soviet Union broke up. They are simply obsessed with destroying Russia. So: although Bush was weak against Al Qaeda, he was strong against Russia: he brought into NATO, the military club against Russia, the following seven nations: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia — six of which seven nations had formerly been members of the Warsaw Pact along with the U.S.S.R., against the U.S. The reality is: Obama, like Republicans generally, hates Russia. That’s what his Ukraine-policy has been about. That’s what his Syria-policy has been about. That’s what his Iran-policy is about. And that’s what his Libya policy has been about. Syria is important in this objective he has, because Syria is the key to replacing Russia as Europe’s main source of natural gas. Syria is the sole block against a natural-gas pipeline from Qatar through Saudi Arabia then Jordan then Syria then Turkey into Europe. Building and operating such a pipeline would enable Qatar to compete against Russia as a supplier of gas to Europe — the world’s largest gas-market. (Russia, Iran, and Qatar — in that order —have the world’s largest gas-reserves. Iran, an ally of Russia, has been blocked by U.S. sanctions, so has been out of the picture for supplying that; Obama wants to replace Russia by Qatar, which sponsors the moderate-extremist Muslim Brotherhood, not only in Egypt but in Syria and elsewhere.) Furthermore, the U.S. military alliance (NATO) could then end Russia as a gas-supplier to Europe, and switch all of that business to the royal family of Qatar, which sponsors the Muslim Brotherhood. The only other route that Qatar had been considering, “through Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq” into Turkey, was sidelined because Iraq was considered too unstable. Now, Syria too is on fire, so plans for both pipeline routes are in abeyance. If Assad is defeated, then the United States will be able to arrange the entire Qatar-Saudi-Jordan-Syrian portion of the non-Iraqi route all the way up to the Turkish border, and the only question then will be Turkey, which at least until recently was hoping to become a transit-nation for Qatari gas. However, on 14 January 2015 was announced, in the anti-Russian news-medium Bloomberg, “Russia to Shift Ukraine Gas Transit to Turkey as EU Cries Foul,” and Turkey, in effect, allied with Russia. The anti-Russian Bloomberg quoted EU-sources as saying that “The decision makes no economic sense.” However, even whether it does make “economic sense” or boost their wealth, is almost beside the point. International aristocrats are far more interested in power than in wealth. What difference does another billion dollars make to someone whose net worth is already ten billion? It makes a difference, but power over an adversary is what’s key to them. At this level, power is key, economics is not. Obama had been working with Turkey and Qatar to get the Muslim Brotherhood into control of Syria; and, now, Obama is switching to support the Saudi-backed ISIS, because the Muslim Brotherhood (Syria’s Qatari and U.S.-backed ‘moderates’) have simply proven ineffective. Syria, it turns out, is not just another Egypt. Now that Obama needs to choose between defeating ISIS, or else defeating Russia, he is clearly choosing to defeat Russia. Forced to a choice in this matter, he is finally sacrificing everything, to his war against Russia. And that gets us to the case of Iran: If Secretary of State Kerry can swing a deal there, then perhaps a way could be found to get Iranian gas into Europe. Turning Iran against Russia would certainly be game-changing. It can’t be done in Iran by a “color revolution” coup like in Ukraine, but our State Department are trying to do it, somehow. However, America’s virtual co-President Benjamin Netanyahu, has solid Republican backing to kill any such deal. So: it’s unlikely that Iran will be able to replace the current role of Qatar (as an alternative supplier of gas to Europe). Israel supports the jihadist Sunni Muslims (including the Qataris), against the Shiites (Iran), because that keeps Israel popular in the United States, where the average person is opposed to jihadists. (And every televised jihadist beheading thus adds to Israel’s support in the U.S.) Furthermore, the U.S. has long been allied with Saudi Arabia and its Wahhabist Sunni sect, against Iran and its Shiite sect. ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other jihadist Muslims are Sunnis, not Shiites; and the Saudi sect of Sunni, the Wahhabist sect, are the most extremist of all muslims. The deal between the fundamentalist Muslim cleric Wahhab and the first King Saud, which made him the king, was reached back in 1744; and it’s the foundation of the Saudi nation even today. Osama bin Laden’s accountant or bookkeeper, who kept the detailed financial records of all of the many million-dollar-plus donations that kept Al Qaeda going and that paid its top fighters handsomely, was kept muzzled by George W. Bush and Barack Obama until just recently, but finally he was able to reveal, and under oath, the deal between Al Qaeda and the royals of all of the Arabic oil kingdoms, all of whom are Sunni. 9/11 was financed by those royals, and Al Qaeda’s bookkeeper explained how he had picked up the checks that kept them going. Things didn’t start this way. Wahhabist jihad developed only after the CIA arranged for fanatical jihadists to pour into Afghanistan to overthrow the Soviet-backed regime there. This created what Obama now calls “extremism.” Back when it was the weapon-of-choice against the U.S.S.R., it was praised by Zbigniew Brzezinski, who now advises Obama as a friend. Brzezinski said of Al Qaeda’s forefathers – the Mujahadin: We know of their deep belief in god – that they’re confident that their struggle will succeed. That land over there is yours, and you’ll go back to it some day, because your fight will prevail, and you’ll have your homes, your mosques, back again, because your cause is right, and god is on your side. Brzezinski is a former Polish aristocrat who has hated Russia throughout his life (the child of Polish aristocrats, who hated Russia and not only communism), but who hid the hatred from birth, for as long as the Soviet Union existed and he could pretend that the only bone he had to pick with the U.S.S.R. was ideological — communism — not ethnicity, not Russians per se, not like the people who are being bombed in today’s Ukraine, people who are not communists but just Russian-speakers in the easternmost region of Ukraine, and the war against whom is financed today by U.S. and European taxpayers because Western aristocrats can arrange for their respective nation’s publics to pay for these aristocrats’ wars-of-conquest against supposedly inferior peoples. So: he has basically been, throughout his life, an undercover warrior against Russians. However, this became clear only when the U.S.S.R. dissolved and broke up and so the ideological explanation for his hostility was gone. All that was left was: against Russia. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the founder of the progressive Democratic Party, had a very different motivation for creating the U.S.-Saudi alliance. Today’s Republican and Democratic Parties are alien to FDR’s entire program. Back at the very end of World War II, Roosevelt met with the Saudi King and sealed the Saudi-U.S. alliance, in order to supply Saudi oil in return for U.S. protection of the Sauds against their own people and against any outside power. This was not originally an anti-Russian alliance at all. However, it was anti-communist, and it was even anti-imperialist because both Churchill and Stalin were imperialists, so the U.S. needed this energy-security for its own future, not as part of an alliance against any nation. Indeed, the war was now all but over, and FDR was already planning for a post-war world in which there would be no more big-power war but instead the end of all empires. The Republican Party, as the Party of Big Oil (“Drill, baby, drill!!” in 2008), was especially delighted to have this alliance. However, after Reagan, in this anti-FDR period we’re in, even the Democratic Party is now imperialist. This is the real reason why extending NATO missile-bases up to Russia’s very borders dominates U.S. foreign policy today. Think of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the way the U.S. felt in 1962 about having missiles in only one nearby country. Russia is being surrounded by them. How much longer will Russia be patient with the return of aggressive U.S. imperialism? Did Obama’s coup in Ukraine in 2014 cross the line? Obama now is telling Russian President Vladimir Putin, with each one of those weapons-drops into ISIS territory: We’re moving forward against you, no matter what. He’s telling him: Eliminating you is more important to us than eliminating ISIS. He’s telling him, by his actions (not merely words, which from Obama are always to the contrary): Either resign from office, or we’ll do what we need to do in order to get rid of you. He’s betting the planet, not merely the house. That’s his message to Putin.

WW3 Update: Russia Prepares For War!

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine March 6, 2015

The west led by the US has been systematically and deliberately pushing Russia towards the point where war, the often spoken about World War III, a nuclear war, is on the horizon and recent headlines show us exactly how close we are to a war no one can win. To make a long story short on how the world came to be on the verge of nuclear annihilation, after the Syria debacle where Russia stepped in a prevented the US from starting a war in Syria to oust Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, the US orchestrated and funded Ukrainian rebels to oust the duly elected Ukrainian president. Russia stepped in to protect the pro-Russia segment of Crimea, just as the US predicted they would. The US then labeled Russia the "aggressors," and started trying to destroy Russia economically with sanctions while running and ongoing propaganda campaign. This has led experts such as former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts to declare "Washington’s attack on Russia has moved beyond the boundary of the absurd into the realm of insanity," in an article titled "Russia In The Crosshairs." Which brings us to where we are today, where NATO is now using the Ukraine "crisis" which the west created in order to advance towards Russian borders and as the graphic below shows, the US already has military bases n Russias backyard, so to speak. Another interesting tidbit before seeing what Russia is doing now to prepare for war, is that Russia predicted two years ago, that "an overseas entity would use a false flag assassination within Russia in order to create an “involuntary martyr” that the Western media would use to demonize Russia."

Six days ago, Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was assassinated, just as Russia predicted two years ago and via Paul Craig Robert's website, we see the predictable response from the west. According to this report by The Saker, http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-boris-nemtsov-assassination-russias-non-system-opposition-refuses-to-blame-the-kremlin/5434206  , the Washington-financed Russian opposition has not, as Washington hoped it would, joined the Western anti-Putin media campaign. Possibly the Washington-financed Russian NGOs have wised up from observing events in Ukraine. In place of “more democracy,” they got a Washington stooge government squandering Ukraine’s last cent on a losing war. The most likely explanation of Nemtsov’s murder is that the CIA decided, as Nemtsov was completely marginalized as an opposition politician with 5% as against Putin’s 85%, that Nemtsov was worth more dead than alive. But the ploy, if that is what it is, has not worked inside Russia. Part of the circumstantial evidence that Nemtsov’s murder was a CIA tactic to destabilize Russia is the orchestrated US media. The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, NPR, and the rest of the presstitutes were ready on cue with reports insinuating that Putin was responsible. Stephen Lendman has done a good job tracking the US media’s unquestioning adherence to Washington’s propaganda line. http://sjlendman.blogspot.com  RUSSIA PREPARES FOR WAR Two days ago Russia started an "unannounced test of strategic nuclear weapons readiness," near the central Russian city Yoshkar-Ola, according to the SMF's press center. "The Committee of the Command of Strategic Missile Forces is conducting an unannounced test of the condition and security provisions of nuclear weapons in the Yoshkar-Ola Missile Unit," the SMF's press service said in a statement. The Yoshkar-Ola missile unit is armed with the Topol intercontinental nuclear-capable ballistic missile complex. Via Newsweek we are reminded of the following: Tensions between the West and Russia over Moscow’s backing of separatist rebels fighting in Ukraine have also prompted Russia to pull out of the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit and issue frequent, public reminders of its nuclear arsenal in the form of drills and tests. Russia combat jets are also conducting "mock" attacks on NATO warships, prompting the following report from Sputnik on Twitter:

Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces began an unannounced test of the nuclear weapons near the central Russian city Yoshkar-Ola, the SMF’s press center said Wednesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia's Strategic Missile Forces (SMF) have begun an unannounced test of its nuclear weapons near the central Russian city Yoshkar-Ola, the SMF's press center said Wednesday. "The Committee of the Command of Strategic Missile Forces is conducting an unannounced test of the condition and security provisions of nuclear weapons in the Yoshkar-Ola Missile Unit," the SMF's press service said in a statement. The Yoshkar-Ola missile unit is armed with the Topol intercontinental nuclear-capable ballistic missile complex. In February, the SMF held record-long drills that included more than 30 missile regiments. The same month, missile forces also completed command and staff exercises testing the troops' combat readiness. In January, SMF spokesman Col. Igor Egorov said that the Russian Strategic Missile Forces planned to conduct more than 100 drills in 2015.

Saudi Arabia Tells Kerry Iran is Taking Control of the Region as Hundreds of Iranian Fighters Enter Iraq

Friday, March 6th | 15 AdarI 5775

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister, Saud Al-Faisal, told Secretary of State John Kerry in a joint press conference on Thursday that Saudi Arabia is worried about Iran’s regional expansionism and nuclear weapons, pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported. Al-Faisal said that his country, “supports the P5+1 in pursuing a strict regime of inspections which ensures that Iran will not pursue or possess nuclear weapons, meanwhile ensuring its right, and that of all countries in the region, to use nuclear energy peacefully according to IAEA’s requirements and under its supervision, and in connection to that Iran is now taking over Iraq.” Meanwhile, Al-Jazeera reported that hundreds of Iranian fighters had entered into Iraq’s Diyala Province through the Khanaqin border crossing, under the pretense of fighting ISIS. These fighters were accompanied by what the report called “columns” of transport trucks carrying large amounts of weapons and military equipment. Sources also added that “hundreds” of 4-wheel drive vehicles, which can hold up to 7 individuals each, crossed in the past two days through the Manthariya border crossing, and continued on towards areas in the Salahuddin Pronvince in Iraq, which over the past four days has witnessed armed confrontations between Iraqi forces supported by Iranian-backed militias called the “Hashd Al-Sha’abi” [Popular Mobilization] and the fighters of ISIS. The sources elaborated that these columns of military support assembled in the Ashraf Barracks, east of the city of Ba’quba, which in the past had been used by the Mujahideen e-Khalq [MEK] Iranian opposition organization as a headquarters, before they moved to the Salahuddin Province to fight ISIS. This surge of Iranian fighters into Iraq is meant to reinforce Tehran’s role in fighting ISIS, where the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps- Quds Force’s (IRGC-QF) commander, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, is overseeing the eastern sector of the push into Iraq’s Tikrit. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International noted their fears that “massacres” and “revenge killings” would be carried out by the Iranian-backed Shi’a militias against the local Sunni population in Tikrit, as has happened in other Sunni-dominated areas of Iraq that came under their control. Meanwhile, in Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the US was aware of the participation of Iranian fighters in this operation against ISIS in Tikrit, and did not negate the possibility of coalition planes participating in the fight against ISIS in Mosul. Experts have said that the campaign in Tikrit resembles the Iranian military strategy laid down by Iranian advisers in Syria, which helped Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad to regain control over some of the territory that he lost to the armed opposition in that country. The preparation for the Tikrit attack was extremely precise, starting with armed bulldozers digging up revetments to protect the advancing forces, and – emphasizing the increasingly sectarian nature of the conflict – assigning Shi’a clergymen as well as “ideological guidance” units to give inspirational speeches to the fighters before they entered battle.

Terror suspect: "I'm so dedicated I risked my whole life"

Posted: Mar 06, 2015 7:37 PM EDT Updated: Mar 08, 2015 8:50 AM EST

By Tricia Macke By Kristyn Wellesley By Amy Wagner, Investigative Reporter By Jody Barr, Investigative Reporter By Lisa Hutson

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - “What would I have done? I would have took my gun, I would have put it to Obama's head and I would have pulled the trigger. Then I would have released more bullets on the Senate and the House of Representative members, and I would have attacked the Israeli embassy and various other buildings full of kafr who want to wage war against us Muslims and shed our blood. That's what would happen.” Christopher Cornell said if he had not been arrested by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents outside the Point Blank Range and Gun shop on Harrison Avenue in Colerain Township after buying firearms and 600 rounds of ammunition on Jan. 14, he would have followed through with an alleged terror plot to plant pipe bombs on the U.S. Capitol and Israeli embassy that Cornell said was organized by the Islamic State. During the exclusive phone interview with FOX19 NOW's Tricia Macke from the Boone County, Ky. jail on Thursday, Cornell, 20, referred to himself as Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah. "I'm with the Islamic State," Cornell said. "I'm very dedicated to establish the Sharia in America, to wage war on the kafr (an Islamic term for ‘unbeliever') and raise the word of Allah above all." "I'm so dedicated that I risked my whole life," Cornell said. Confession of the alleged plot Cornell is accused of plotting with an FBI informant to plan an attack in Washington, D.C. that included planting pipe bombs around the U.S. Capitol and the Israeli embassy with the intention of then shooting people as they ran from the buildings to escape the bombs. “The planned attack against the United States Capitol, the event in which I planned, was but a reaction to the continued American aggression, injustice and oppression against our people,” Cornell said in the interview. “I got orders from the brothers overseas because I'm with the Islamic State. My brothers over there, in Syria and Iraq, gave me specific orders to carry out jihad in the west, so I did so,” said Cornell. According to court documents, a confidential FBI source began to contact Cornell last August, who responded via instant message that he had been in contact with individuals overseas but he did not believe that he would receive authorization to conduct a terrorist attack in the United States. Cornell allegedly told the informant that they should go on with the attack. "I believe that we should just wage jihad under our own orders and plan an attack," Cornell allegedly told the informant, according to court documents. Cornell met with the FBI informant Oct. 17 and 18, and again Nov. 10 and 11. Federal authorities said he discussed how they would build, plant and detonate pipe bombs at the U.S Capitol. Then, he U.S. the informant would shoot and kill employees inside. Cornell showed the informant on his computer that he researched how to construct pipe bombs and the cost of the guns they would buy for the attack. According to court documents, under the name Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah, Cornell posted videos and statements supporting ISIS and violent jihad in North America. The threat was ‘credible;' Cornell was a ‘lone wolf' University of Cincinnati's Dr. Richard Harknett, who heads the political science department and whose research includes international security, said Cornell comes across as credible. “I don't think there is any inconsistency in the way he responds to indicate that we shouldn't believe that in fact he was going to act on this,” said Harknett. Geoffrey Mearns, Northern Kentucky University President and former prosecutor in the Timothy McVeigh case, called Cornell a “lone wolf” and said this incident showed the power of social media and the ability convince someone to attack. Retired Colonel Larry C. James, Ph.D. agrees. From Guantanamo Bay to Abu Ghraib, the Army psychologist has delved into the minds of the world's most dangerous terrorists, and has years of experience interviewing terror suspects like Cornell. James said Cornell fits the mold of a homegrown terrorist who became radicalized through the internet, saying Cornell's admitted intent to harm fellow American citizens is what makes him a danger to society. The state of the Islamic State in the U.S. Cornell said he didn't do this alone, and spoke about his alleged ties to leaders of the Islamic State in the interview, saying he spoke with other members overseas via an encrypted messaging service. “Talking about how we should raise Jihad in America. We should form groups and alliances with the Islamic State. When I say groups, I mean what you would call sleeper cells,” said Cornell. And Cornell said he believes there are more attacks to come. “What do I think is coming? Many things. There will be many, many attacks. Like I said, we are ready for the battle over the Capitol.” Cornell said there are others like him throughout the United States. “We are pretty strong. Yes, yes. In every state like I said. We're in Texas. We're in Ohio. We're in New York City. We're in Washington, DC. We're in every single state you can name, just about.” etc.. and the news story continues..

Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt Unify to Battle ISIS—Is Iran Next?

By Micah Halpern | 03/06/15 7:31am

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not the only Middle East leader to take a road trip this past week. And despite all of the hoopla about “the speech,” his was probably not the most important message being delivered. More important, although much less sensational and therefore much less covered by the press, was the visit of King Abdullah of Jordan to his newly crowned counterpart in Riyadh. And then there was the visit, several days later, of Abdel Fatah al Sisi, the president of Egypt who also met with Salman, the new king of Saudi Arabia. After the formalities were dispensed with, the real business at hand began. And in each of those meetings, like Netanyahu in Washington, one important topic was under discussion: Iran. Then came ISIS. It is hugely important for the United States to understand that when it comes to these sensitive subjects, Israel does not stand alone. Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are all also the sworn enemies of both ISIS and Iran. These meetings—by Middle East leaders, rulers to be more specific, held in the region itself, were extremely important. Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are all part of the coalition against ISIS. And yes, all three have strong relations with the United States. But more than anything else, both these two monarchs, as well as the Egyptian president, are all in the cross hairs of ISIS. They all know that ISIS wants to take over their countries. And they are keenly aware that there are already individual people and organized groups inside each of their countries who are affiliated with ISIS and with al Qaeda. The violence is growing and it is reaching critical mass. Each leader came with the same plan in mind. In the course of their meetings, the two kings and the president agreed to increase their cooperation against ISIS even outside the coalition. They have no choice. They agreed to step up and strike ISIS and al Qaeda, to support one another and to share information. We know all of this because they chose to leak it to their domestic Arabic press. They understand that, for them, fighting ISIS is a battle of survival. Abdullah and Salman know very well that in order for their reigns to survive they must defeat ISIS.  We also know from official sources that the Egyptian/Saudi conversation was very straight forward. Egypt wanted to make certain that the new king, like the Abdullah, the previous king of Saudi Arabia, continues to support him both politically and monetarily. And both countries needed to make certain that they share intel on terror and Islamic extremists. From information and leaks, we know that they decided to create a joint force to confront the new challenge from ISIS in Iraq and in Syria and to control the tension emerging from Libya and Yemen. Add Jordan to the mix, and we now have a move to unify Arabs against the ISIS threat. That’s big news. In the beginning the collaboration will probably be limited to intelligence and training. But if successful, the links will grow and these countries will actually help each other on joint missions on the ground and from the air. Salman and al Sisi and Abdullah need to work well together—a move to unify Arabs against the ISIS threat. There is no other option. What they do and say will have tremendous impact on the rest of the Arab world. They can convey a sense of stability—or not. They can create a sense of mission and vision and draw people away from ISIS—or they will fail and their monarchies will be in tumult. Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan all come with essential powerful and important skill sets. Saudi Arabia is the richest, Egypt is the most populous, Jordan has one of the highest adult literacy rates in the region at 97 percent. They all have clout. The only way to defeat ISIS or to defeat Iran is if the Arabs in the neighborhood actually work together. And now. They finally see these new threats as serious challenges to their very existence—and they are now strategizing on how to confront it.

Europe Blocks U.S. from Racing to War Against Russia

2015/03/07 Eric Zuesse

On Friday, 6 March, President Obama placed temporarily on ice his planned increase in weapons and soldiers to help the Ukrainian Government to ‘defend’ Ukraine against the ‘terrorists’ in Donbass, which is the Ukrainian region that had voted 90% for the President whom the Obama Administration overthrew in February 2014. (Here is where the EU first learned, on 26 February 2014, that the overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych had been a coup instead of a genuine popular revolution.) Obama replaced that Government with a racist-fascist anti-Russian regime, which quickly set about exterminating as many residents of Donbass as possible, as quickly as possible (calling them ‘terrorists,’ for their refusal to be ruled by the new Obama-imposed, anti-Russian, Government). According to German Economic News, Germany’s Angela Merkel and France’s Francois Hollande are balking at the speed of Obama’s rush to war against Russia. Earlier, some of the smaller national economies in the European Union — the Czech Republic, Hungary and Greece — dissented from America’s effort to increase economic sanctions and military measures against Russia. But there is now increasing pressure upon the leaders in Germany, France, and Italy, also to separate the EU from the American rush to war against Russia. Here is my translation of the key passage from the article on this matter, dated March 7th, in German Economic News: “Apparently, the developments have shown that in the Euro-zone the Americans’ desire for a full escalation of the conflict against Russia could no longer be accepted without objection by the Europeans. The Americans were apparently informed by Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande that they are concerned about the rise of France’s National Front Party: Its chairman, Marine Le Pen, rejects the current EU policy towards Russia. If the National Front comes to power in France, it would be almost impossible for the EU to pursue a U.S.-coordinated foreign policy, such as they both want to do. Therefore, Merkel and Hollande aim to contain the negative economic consequences to their own nations of sanctions against Russia, so as to prevent victory for the National Front. “Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has spoken with President Putin in Moscow on a stronger partnership between Italy and Russia. The Italians are feeling the effects of the sanctions particularly strongly, and want to avoid an escalation in any case. “Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias also has doubts as to the purpose of the US sanctions policy of the EU.” Washington criticizes many European politicians for their opposing Washington’s anti-Russian policies. In Hungary and France, nationalist political parties offer especially strong resistance, because they oppose their own nation’s being ruled by Washington’s dictates. Even though Washington backs nazis in Ukraine, some European right-wing (though not nearly as far right-wing as in Ukraine) parties are patriotically opposed to European taxpayers donating to fund Ukraine’s fascists. The odd result is that some semi-fascist parties in Europe are especially balking at the extreme fascism, even nazism, that Washington supports in Ukraine. It’s too far to the right for them to go; they don’t want to be forced to go that far; they don’t want their nation to fund Washington’s aims. Obama thus needs to juggle many balls at once in order to keep the Western Alliance together with him in his overriding foreign-policy goal of destroying Russia. etc.. and the news story continues...

Media Blackout after US ally becomes leader of ISIS in Libya

by Kyle Rogers

Abdelhakim Belhadj is an ex-Taliban commander, who trained Arab volunteers to fight Americans, that became a US sponsored Jihadist leader during America’s 2011 war against Libya. Despite his background, John McCain and Lindsey Graham publicly endorsed him. After the fall of Gaddafi, he became the leader of the Tripoli Military Council. With US support he was slated to be the head of the future Libyan military. By 2013, he was leader an coalition of Jihadist fighters in seizing control of urban areas and imposing sharia law. His coalition includes the group that publicly lynched the former US ambassador to Libya in Benghazi. Now, credible sources in the intelligence community say Abdelhakim Belhadj has been formerly made the leader of ISIS in Libya. The Washington Times ran a story on it. Fox News and Glen Beck’s The Blaze has run little blurbs. RT is the only media outlet I have seen that actually reported on it and showed the photo of McCain and Graham with Belhadj. In the Arab world it is a major news story. There is a media blackout. The United States played a direct and pivotal role in the creation of ISIS in Libya.

Libya under Gaddafi before US sponsored Jihad:

1) Number one economy in the entire continent of Africa

2) Highest average standard of living in the entire continent of Africa

3) Growing job market across multiple sectors

4) Recently normalized relations with many European countries

5) Italy was subsidizing new interstates in exchange for Libyan support in curbing illegal immigration into Europe

6) Libya was actively providing foreign aid to several of the poorest countries in Africa.

7) Government actively at war with Sunni Jihadists since September 2001.

Libya after US sponsored Jihad:

1) Failed states with a half dozen factions actively at war with each other

2) Tribal, ethnic, and racial warfare

3) Collapse of the economy

4) Massive arsenal of looted weaponry used to jump-start Jihad in Mali and Nigeria.

5) Thousand of US sponsored fighters now members of ISIS

6) Major cities now occupied by radical Jihadists and under harsh sharia law.

Fukushima fallout detected in U.S. fish — Dose equal to samples caught 100 miles from plant — Persistently high levels detected in marine life offshore “not anticipated… orders of magnitude” more than expected

Submitted by IWB, on March 8th, 2015

Excerpts from ‘Radiological Dose Rates to Marine Fish from the Fukushima Daiichi Accident: The First Three Years Across the North Pacific’, includes authors from Japan’s National Institute of Radiological Sciences and Oregon St. Univ., 2015 (emphasis added):

A more complete record is emerging of radionuclide measurements in fish [from]across the Pacific… Fish 100–200 km east of [Fukushima], coastal fish in the Aleutian Islands… and trans-Pacific migratory species, all had increased dose rates as a consequence of the FDNPP accident.

image: http://enenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/AI_Cs.jpg 

FDNPP produced the largest single-event influx of radioactive cesium isotopes into the Pacific [137Cs up to 90 PBq; Chernobyl total: 70-85 PBq].

Dose rates

image: http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png 

to the most impacted fish species near the FDNPP have remained above benchmark levels for potential dose effects at least three years longer than was indicated by previous, data-limited, evaluations.

[Strontium-90] was estimated to contribute up to approximately one-half of the total 2013 dose rate to fish near the FDNPP.

Evaluations… suggested that the dose rates to fish near the FDNPP… only briefly remained above the benchmark levels for potential harmful effects… However, subsequent data have indicated highly elevated and persistent accumulation of Cs.

Maximally exposed fish near the FDNPP [had] an increase of more than six orders of magnitude… The elevated activity concentrations were not isolated to one sample, or one species. In 2013, activity concentrations of 134,137Cs exceeding [100,000 Bq] kg were measured in more than 100 fish from ten species sampled from FDNPP port… concentrations in [some species] are orders of magnitude higher than predicted.

Some of the released radionuclides are being carried long distances…

At Amchitka Island [in Alaska] the 134,137Cs dose rates to [greenling and rockfish] were only slightly higher than pre-event levels… The increase… appears to be due to atmospheric transport from Fukushima as 134Cs was measured… in freshwater fish[11 Bq/kg in trout].

Detections of 134Cs in California water samples gathered in August 2014… suggest incremental dose rate increases to resident fish.

Fish at 100–200 km east of the FDNPP, coastal fish in the Aleutian Islands, and trans-Pacific migratory species all had increased dose rates.

Persistence of the radionuclides in fish was not anticipated by existing models…ongoing measurements are needed at locations near the FDNPP and further along the predicted plume trajectory… Some areas that have experienced air deposition in 2011 (e.g. Aleutian Islands), should continue monitoring as they may experience a second arrival of 134,137Cs in subsequent years via an oceanic plume. This study was in collaboration with the… IAEA

Over 300 Prominent Republicans Come Out Of Closet In Support Of ‘Blood On The Altar’ War Against Traditional Christianity, Return To The Days Of Lot

March 12, 2015 by SkyWatch Editor

Over 300 prominent Republicans have signed a brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court calling for the legalization of same-sex “marriage” nationwide. The amicus brief, or friend of the court brief, was led by former Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Ken Mehlman, who also served as manager of George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign. “One of the points that I hope people appreciate when they read the brief is that supporting marriage equality is, in fact, the conservative position,” Mehlman told the Boston Globe. The brief argues that the 14th Amendment requires equal protection, which means that homosexuals should be permitted then to marry each other. “Although amici hold a broad spectrum of socially and politically conservative, moderate, and libertarian views, amici share the view that laws that bar same-sex couples from the institution of civil marriage, with all its attendant profoundly important rights and responsibilities, are inconsistent with the United States Constitution’s dual promises of equal protection and due process,” it reads. etc.. and the news story continues..

'One By One They're Waking Up' - Arab Man Arrested Trying To Enter Same Nuclear Facility Warned Of Days After ANP Story On Americans Being Set Up As Sitting Ducks!

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline

With this latest warning from Congressional Task Force Chair Robert Pittenger (R - North Carolina) that terror cells are in the US and that Americans should prepare now, we bring forth this breaking story on an Arab man caught attempting to break into a nuclear facility in Tennessee. Coincidentally, or not, we warned about this very facility being in possible danger in a story only days before.  Back on March 2, 2015, All News Pipeline put out a story called "Setting Americans Up As Sitting Ducks - Islamic Terror Training Camps In America Are 'Bomb Waiting To Go Off' As 'Obamalaw' Takes Aim At Christians, Veterans And Constitutionalists" in which we warned of terror training camps in Tennessee and elsewhere in America, one of which was well positioned to attack a nearby nuclear power plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. With the recent arrest of an Arab man attempting to gain access to the Oak Ridge National Lab merely days ago, we hate to say 'we told you so' but do so with the disclaimer that we believe this attempt was only the 'tip of the iceberg' and when the 'sleeper agent jihadis' already here in America, even warned of by the head of DHS and Senator Barbara Feinstein, are completely cut loose as we get closer to World War 3, all hell will literally break loose across the country. etc.. While we'd love to believe that America is immune to future terror attacks upon our police forces, military members, infrastructure and people of our nation, the attempted infiltration of the Oak Ridge Nuclear power plant in Tennessee by Rishi Chatterjee Malakar is instead another sign that we need now be more prepared than ever for those who might seek to do America and Americans harm as jihad is clearly at our door. etc..

Islamic State 'using chlorine gas' in Iraq roadside bombs

12 March 2015 Last updated at 05:37 ET

Iraqi officials have shown the BBC footage, which they say proves Islamic State militants are using chlorine gas in roadside bomb attacks. The videos show bomb disposal teams carrying out controlled explosions, which send plumes of orange smoke into the air. The bombs contain small concentrations of a chemical agent and in open ground are unlikely to be lethal. Experts say they are designed to create fear rather than harm. There have been multiple reports that IS has been deploying chlorine gas since late last year, but Iraqi officials say their footage confirms its use. Haider Taher, from the Iraq Bomb Disposal Team, said troops have defused dozens of devices containing chlorine as part of the offensive against the militants. "They have resorted to this new method," he told the BBC. "They're putting chlorine inside these homemade roadside bombs, which is toxic for those that inhale it." etc.. and the news story continues..

The Pieces for America’s Imminent Red Dawn Are In Place

Mar 13, 2015 by Dave Hodges

On Thursday night, airing on Randy Yarbrough’s radio show on 1360AM out of Johnstown, Colorado, Dr. Walker Todd called in into the show and offered a stunning prediction. Dr. Todd stated that the U.S. economy has about “60-90 days of life in it as the dollar is on the verge of collapse”. The dire prediction from only man would not ordinarily carry much weight, however, Dr. Todd was a an economic consultant with 20 years of experience at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Federal Reseve Bank of Cleveland. He is also a member of the Cato Institute‘s new Center for Monetary Financial Alternatives as one of its Adjunct Scholars. Given his background, his expressed opinions should be given very serious consideration. If Dr. Todd’s prediction is accurate, this fits in with what other sources are saying is coming in the very near future. It has always been my position that a false flag even would be used as a pretext to invoke martial law. Martial law would then be used as the excuse to begin gun confiscation. Gun confiscation will be used disarm American citizens prior to subjugating the country by using foreign mercenaries in what could be labeled as a “Red Dawn” scenario. etc... and the news story continues..

China-IMF talks underway to endorse yuan as global reserve currency

March 12, 2015, 12:12 pm

China is pushing for the International Monetary Fund to endorse the Chinese yuan as a global reserve currency alongside the dollar and euro. A senior Chinese central bank official said Thursday that the country is “actively communicating” with the IMF on the possibility of including the yuan, or RMB, in the basket of the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). Including the yuan in the SDR system would allow the IMF to recognize the ascent of the world’s second-biggest economy while aiding China’s attempts to diminish the dollar’s dominance in global trade and finance. “We hope the IMF can fully take into account the progress of RMB internationalization, to include RMB into the basket underlining the SDR in foreseeable, near future,” said Yi Gang, vice governor of the People’s Bank of China. However, China will be patient until conditions are ripe, Yi said at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing annual parliamentary session. etc.. and the news story continues...

World Bank Chief Welcomes China-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank

World | Reuters | Updated: March 13, 2015 18:37 IST

Tokyo: World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said today that he welcomed the setting up of the China-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), a day after Britain became the first Western nation to embrace the institution. With US interest rates likely to rise later this year, capital flows to emerging markets and low-income countries will face greater challenges over time, Jim Yong Kim told a news conference. "From the perspective simply of the need for more infrastructure spending, there's no doubt that from our perspective, we welcome the entry of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank," he said. The AIIB was launched in Beijing last year and was seen as a rival to the Western-dominated World Bank and Asian Development Bank. etc.. and the news story continues..

Et tu, Britain? United Kingdom to join China in the anti-dollar alliance

by Simon Black on March 13, 2015

In another awkward blow to the rapidly waning US-dollar hegemony, America and Britain just had their “It’s not you, it’s me” moment. Late yesterday, the government of the United Kingdom announced that they would be applying to join the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank… as a founding member. This is huge. Right now, the United States dominates the global financial system. But after years of endless wars, spying, debt, money printing, bailouts, and insane regulations, the rest of the world has had enough. And they’re looking for an alternative. China is coming up with an answer. The soon-to-be-live Chinese International Payment System (CIPS) will provide a way for banks to transfer funds to one another without having to use the US banking system… or the US dollar. China is also the ringleader behind both the BRICS development bank (called the New Development Bank, or NDB) as well as the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Both of these are multilateral development banks that aim to end the dominance of the western-controlled World Bank and IMF. NDB includes all the BRICS nations– Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Founding members of the AIIB include China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, etc. They’re typically all rapidly growing and/or resource-rich developing nations. New Zealand was the first western nation to join AIIB back in October. And yesterday afternoon, Britain announced its intention to become the second. (Of course in the UK’s eyes they’re the first since New Zealand still belongs to the Queen!) This is a massive, embarrassing blow to the United States, and to the future of the US dollar. It’s pretty obvious when you look at the dozens of signatories to the NDB and AIIB charter documents: the rest of the world is sick and tired of the United States dominating the global financial system. And by putting these new development banks and alternative payment systems together, they’re actually doing something about it. Even America’s own allies have supported this anti-dollar movement. Last summer the French Finance Minister explained to reporters how completely unnecessary it was for a European aircraft manufacturer to sell jets to European airlines in US dollars (instead of euros). He also slammed the US government for arrogantly fining French bank BNP a whopping $9 billion for doing business with countries that the US doesn’t like. (Side note: one of the ‘evil’ countries BNP did business with was Cuba, and they were heavily punished for this, even though BNP broke no law in France. But now all of a sudden the US and Cuba are buddy-buddy again. Is BNP going to get a refund?) His conclusion? It’s time for a ‘rebalancing’ of the global financial system away from the US dollar. Other political allies of the United States have echoed similar sentiment. But now we can see words are turning into action. Britain might be too polite to tell the US straight up– “Look, you have $18.1 trillion in official debt, you have $42 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and you’re kind of a dick. I’m dumping you.” So instead they’re going with the “it’s not you, it’s me” approach. But to anyone paying attention, it’s pretty obvious where this trend is going. It won’t be long before other western nations jump on the anti-dollar bandwagon with action and not just words. Bottom line: this isn’t theory or conjecture anymore. Every shred of objective evidence suggests that the dollar’s dominance is coming to an end. etc.. and the news story continues..

NASA Scientist Warns "California Has One Year Of Water Left"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/13/2015 15:28 -0400

Authored by NASA Senior Water Scientist Jay Famiglietti, originally posted Op-Ed at The LA Times,

Given the historic low temperatures and snowfalls that pummeled the eastern U.S. this winter, it might be easy to overlook how devastating California's winter was as well.  As our “wet” season draws to a close, it is clear that the paltry rain and snowfall have done almost nothing to alleviate epic drought conditions. January was the driest in California since record-keeping began in 1895. Groundwater and snowpack levels are at all-time lows. We're not just up a creek without a paddle in California, we're losing the creek too. Data from NASA satellites show that the total amount of water stored in the Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins — that is, all of the snow, river and reservoir water, water in soils and groundwater combined — was 34 million acre-feet below normal in 2014. That loss is nearly 1.5 times the capacity of Lake Mead, America's largest reservoir. Statewide, we've been dropping more than 12 million acre-feet of total water yearly since 2011. Roughly two-thirds of these losses are attributable to groundwater pumping for agricultural irrigation in the Central Valley. Farmers have little choice but to pump more groundwater during droughts, especially when their surface water allocations have been slashed 80% to 100%. But these pumping rates are excessive and unsustainable. Wells are running dry. In some areas of the Central Valley, the land is sinking by one foot or more per year. As difficult as it may be to face, the simple fact is that California is running out of water — and the problem started before our current drought. NASA data reveal that total water storage in California has been in steady decline since at least 2002, when satellite-based monitoring began, although groundwater depletion has been going on since the early 20th century. Right now the state has only about one year of water supply left in its reservoirs, and our strategic backup supply, groundwater, is rapidly disappearing. California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain. In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis. etc.. and the news story continues...

US Senator: Russia's Arctic militarization is 'disturbing' and 'impressive'

Kris Osborn, Military.com Mar. 13, 2015, 3:31 PM

Several US lawmakers are warning US military leaders about the pace and scope of Russia’s Arctic militarization, including the addition of new brigades, ships and airfields to the fast-changing region. Russian initiatives are making it increasingly difficult for the US to successfully compete in the area as new sea lanes emerge, they say. “When you look at what the Russians are doing in the Arctic, it is actually quite impressive –impressive, but disturbing,” Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Ala., told military leaders at a recent Senate Armed Services Committee Navy budget hearing. “The Russians are looking at adding four new combat brigades in the Arctic as our US Army is thinking at pulling them out of there,” he said. “I think that would give Vladimir Putin a lot of joy. They are building 13 new airfields and conducting long-range air patrols off the coast of Alaska.” Sullivan said the US military is ill-advised to consider removing one or two Army Brigade Combat teams from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Fort Wainwright in Alaska. “That we would even contemplate taking one soldier away from Alaska is lunacy given Putin’s recent actions in the Arctic,” he said. “Alaska’s Army BCTs are the best cold-weather and mountain-hardened BCTs in the country. The training makes them uniquely valuable to the US Army and their presence in Alaska hopefully ensures that other nations never make us use them.” Experts say the pace of melting ice and rising water temperatures is expected to open more waterways in the region and possibly new sea-routes for commercial shipping, transport, strategic military presence and adventure tourism. The developments carry geopolitical and national-security risks, as well. etc.. and the news story continues..

Suicide Bombers Kill 14 People Outside Pakistani Churches

LAHORE, Pakistan — Mar 15, 2015, 7:08 AM ET By K.M. CHAUDHRY and ZARAR KHAN Associated Press

Pakistani Taliban suicide bombers exploded themselves near two churches in the eastern city of Lahore on Sunday as worshippers were gathered inside, killing 14 people, officials said, in the latest attack against religious minorities in the increasingly fractured country. etc.. Life in Pakistan is increasingly fraught with danger for religious minorities, especially Christians. They have been targeted by extremist Sunni Muslim militants who object to their faith. They are also discriminated against in the wider society where they can often only get menial jobs like garbage collection, and are frequently targets of blasphemy accusations. The explosions occurred in quick succession in the Christian neighborhood of Youhana Abad at two churches while parishioners were celebrating Sunday morning services inside. The churches are about 600 meters (650 yards) apart. At least 70 people were wounded, said Zahid Pervez, the provincial director general of health, who gave the death toll. One unidentified witness told Pakistan's Geo television that the main gate to one of the churches targeted was closed so people were using a smaller gate. "One bomber exploded himself near that gate, that created chaos and during the course there was another blast," he said. etc.. and the news story continues...

U.S. Army sending armored convoy 1,100 miles through Europe

By Brad Lendon, CNN Updated 12:27 PM ET, Sat March 14, 2015

(CNN)Eastern Europe, here comes the cavalry.

The U.S. Army says it will soon be sending armored Stryker vehicles on a 1,100-mile convoy through six European countries to show solidarity to allies in the wake of recent Russian actions in the Ukraine and Crimea that have Eastern Europe on edge. The move was first reported Thursday in the military newspaper Stars and Stripes. U.S. Army Europe posted the Stripes story on its website on Friday. The convoy is "a highly visible demonstration of U.S, commitment to its NATO allies and demonstrating NATO's ability to move military forces freely across allied borders in close cooperation," U.S. Army Europe spokesman Lt. Col. Craig Childs, said in a statement, according to the Stripes report. The troops and vehicles involved will be moving from training exercises conducted as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, the report said. They'll move through Latvia and the Czech Republic as they make their way to Vilseck, Germany, about a 40 miles drive from the Czech border. etc.. and the news story continues..

Covert cash: How did CIA money end up in al-Qaeda coffers?

March 15, 2015 at 5:44 PM EDT

TRANSCRIPT

HARI SREENIVASAN: Now to the revelation reported by The New York Times: At least a million dollars from the CIA evidently wound up in the coffers of al Qaeda in 2010. I’m joined by New York Times reporter Matthew Rosenberg in Washington, D.C.

So, that million was part of a larger sum. Where did this money come from, and where did it go?

MATTHEW ROSENBERG, The New York Times: The CIA, for years, starting in 2003, provided what amounted to basically a slush fund for President Karzai of Afghanistan and his office.

And they used this money to pay off various warlords and other people they needed to keep onside and things they didn’t really need — want to do on the books. And so, a few years earlier, in 2008, an Afghan diplomat had been kidnapped. The Afghans were negotiating a ransom to get him back. Finally, a price was settled at $5 million. And they needed to find $5 million in cash. So they went to the slush fund they had. And they had about a million there they had put aside. They took that. The rest of the four — there was another $4 million they got from Iran and Pakistan and some of the Gulf states that also helped them out with cash. And it all ended up with al Qaeda.

HARI SREENIVASAN: And, when you say cash, you mean actual dollar bills in bags dropped off at the palace?

MATTHEW ROSENBERG: Yes. Every month, they would go there with suitcases, backpacks, sometimes even plastic shopping bags, like they were coming from Safeway, and would just drop off the cash. It tended to range from a few hundred thousand dollars to over a million, maybe a few million at times. And it went to a variety of purposes.

HARI SREENIVASAN: And so how do we know that al Qaeda actually got some of those dollars?

MATTHEW ROSENBERG: We know because, when the Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden, they seized a tremendous amount of computers and documents from his compound. And a series of letters between bin Laden and one of his chief lieutenants was introduced at trial last week — trial last month in New York. And we took a look at these letters. And in these letters, bin Laden and one of his lieutenants are discussing getting the ransom. They’re going to buy weapons with it. And then there’s all kinds of weird concerns. You know, bin Laden is warning him to be careful. The Americans could be tracking this. They have maybe put radiation or some substance on it. And he actually seems much more concerned and seems to give American officials a lot more credit for being able to track their own spending than was actually the case or has ever been in the case in Iraq or Afghanistan.

HARI SREENIVASAN: And so those letters also point out that these funds were going to be used to buy weapons for their fight.

MATTHEW ROSENBERG: Yes. That — they were going to help support people whose families were — fighters who were in prison, help support their families. Some was going to be put aside for a rainy day. Also, we have to understand, this cash delivery came, this infusion of cash to al Qaeda came at a very crucial moment, in the — kind of in 2010, the drone strikes in Pakistan on their hideouts in Pakistan had decimated the ranks of the organization. They were having trouble raising money. They were not in good shape. I don’t want to say that this helped reinvigorate them solely, but it certainly helped get them back on their feet. It was certainly part of a bigger picture that has helped them survive. And even past bin Laden, al Qaeda remains a threat today. It is not coming after us, but they are there, and they have not been defeated or completely dissipated.

HARI SREENIVASAN: And when these dollars from the CIA made it into the hands of al Qaeda, other groups heard about this and kind of stuck their hand out as well.

MATTHEW ROSENBERG: Yes. You know, I want to be careful not to be too glib about this, but there is a sense in the letters of, you know, some guy from the neighborhood makes it rich, and suddenly everybody else has the hand out to kind of help them out. I think one of the lieutenants is quoted as saying, you know, all the other groups have heard about this, and they all want money. “May God help us,” I think was the exact quote. A certain kind of people seemed a little exasperated by it.

HARI SREENIVASAN: All right, Matthew Rosenberg of The New York Times joining us from Washington, D.C., thanks so much.

MATTHEW ROSENBERG: Thank you

Kerry: US ‘has to negotiate’ with Syria’s Assad

15/03 21:24 CET

US Secretary of State John Kerry said he would be willing to talk to Syrian President Bashar Assad to stem that nation’s violence. In an interview with US network CBS News on Sunday, Kerry said the US was pushing for Assad to seriously discuss a transition strategy to quell the Arab country’s four-year civil war. “We are working hard with other interested working parties to see if we can re-ignite a diplomatic outcome. Why? Because, everybody agrees there is no military solution,” Kerry said. There was no immediate reaction in Syrian state media to Kerry’s remarks. Representatives of the Syrian government took part in talks in Moscow in January with opposition figures, although the main Western-backed opposition group shunned the conference. etc.. and the news story continues..

Vladimir Putin says Russia was preparing to use nuclear weapons 'if necessary' and blames US for Ukraine crisis

As the bombshell programme on the annexation of the Black Sea peninsular aired on Sunday evening, TV reports suggest the Russian president was watching it from his sickbed

Vladimir Putin has said Russia was so fearful of attack at the height of the Ukraine crisis that it was preparing to arm its nuclear weapons, in extraordinary claims aired on state TV on Sunday night.

Amid ongoing Russian media speculation that the President was watching the Crimea documentary from his sickbed, Mr Putin’s full interview with Rossiya One provided new insight into his country’s involvement in the annexation of the Black Sea peninsula. In the documentary, which marks a year since the referendum that saw Russia take control of Crimea, Mr Putin described the Ukrainian revolution to oust Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014 as an armed coup “masterminded by our American friends”. He said Washington tried to “trick” the world into thinking the regime change was “supported mostly by the Europeans”, according to a translation of the interview on Russia Today. But he instead accused the US of orchestrating the crisis, saying: “They helped training the nationalists, their armed groups, in Western Ukraine, in Poland and to some extent in Lithuania. They facilitated the armed coup.” Mr Putin expanded on comments aired ahead of the full documentary that well-armed forces known as the “little green men” who helped bring about the referendum in Crimea were indeed Russian soldiers. He also revealed that as part of the operation to take control of the peninsula, Russia deployed K-300P Bastion coastal defence missile “in a way that made them seen clearly from space” as a military deterrent to the perceived threat of attack from the West. And on Russia’s willingness to arm nuclear weapons if necessary, Mr Putin said: “We were ready to do this ... (Crimea) is our historical territory. Russian people live there. They were in danger. We cannot abandon them.” etc.. and the news story continues..

Putin Reappears, Puts 40,000 Troops On Full Alert As Part Of "Snap-Readiness Exercises"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2015 09:03 -0400

After disappearing for ten days from the public's eye, etc.. But while Putin may have kept a low visibility profile, he was very well heard, and as reported earlier today, the Russian president ordered nearly 40,000 troops in northern and western Russia to be put on full alert early Monday as part of snap-readiness exercises, official news agencies quoted Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu as saying. According to the WSJ, the maneuvers are the latest in a series of such checks in recent years and follow dozens of military exercises conducted over the past year since the start of the Ukraine crisis. The military exercises announced on Monday involve Russia's Northern Fleet, as well as airborne and other troops in the west of the country. The main focus is to test readiness in the Arctic, where Russia has expanded its military presence in recent years, officials said. The exercises are scheduled to continue through to March 21. "New challenges and threats to military security require further increases in the military capabilities of the armed forces and special attention to the newly formed strategic group in the northern direction, " Mr. Shoigu said. etc. and the news story continues...

China orders over 600,000 tonnes Ukrainian corn, snubs U.S. supplies

Rueturs By Niu Shuping and David Stanway

BEIJING (Reuters) - China, the world's second largest corn consumer, has booked over 600,000 tonnes of corn from Ukraine this year and more deals are expected as Beijing's stockpiling dries up supplies and boosts domestic prices. China's move to import Black Sea shipments under a loan-for-grain deal is seen as a blow to U.S. corn exporters who are struggling to sell the country's record crop. U.S. corn futures fell for a fourth straight session on Tuesday, trading near a six-week low with additional pressure from China's purchases of Ukrainian corn. Some of the Ukraine cargoes for April-May shipment were struck at about 1,500 yuan (162 pounds) per tonne, including cost and freight, said one buyer. The price is about 60 percent lower than domestic corn quoted at 2,490 yuan per tonne in the major port of Shenzhen (YC-DEQSHZ). U.S. corn is quoted about 80 yuan ($13) per tonne cheaper than Ukraine corn, traders said. etc.. and the news story continues...

US fails to renew emergency oil supply pact with Israel

The agreement guaranteeing Israel's oil supplies in wartime was first signed in 1975. The US has not renewed a historic agreement under which it guaranteed a supply of oil to Israel in emergencies, that is, instances in which Israel might be cut off from its regular commercial sources of oil because of war or closure of sea lanes. The agreement expired in November 2014, and since then the US administration has done nothing to renew it, Washington sources told "Globes". The sources said that it was not clear whether this was a deliberate step by the administration, stemming perhaps from renewed friction between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the White House, or a matter of bureaucratic inertia in Washington. etc.. and the news story continues..

US intel report scrapped Iran from list of terror threats

Softened assessment, submitted in February, comes amid marathon nuclear talks, shared interests vis-a-vis the Islamic State

By Times of Israel staff March 16, 2015, 2:59 am

An annual report delivered recently to the US Senate by James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, removed Iran and Hezbollah from its list of terrorism threats, after years in which they featured in similar reports. The unclassified version of the Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Communities, dated February 26, 2015 (PDF), noted Iran’s efforts to combat Sunni extremists, including those of the ultra-radical Islamic State group, who were perceived to constitute the preeminent terrorist threat to American interests worldwide. In describing Iran’s regional role, the report noted the Islamic Republic’s “intentions to dampen sectarianism, build responsive partners, and deescalate tensions with Saudi Arabia,” but cautioned that “Iranian leaders—particularly within the security services—are pursuing policies with negative secondary consequences for regional stability and potentially for Iran. “Iran’s actions to protect and empower Shia communities are fueling growing fears and sectarian responses,” it said. The United States and other Western nations, along with a coalition of regional allies, both Sunni and Shiite, has been launching attacks against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria in recent months. The Sunni group, also known by its acronyms IS, ISIS and ISIL, is an offshoot of al-Qaeda that has carved out a self-proclaimed caliphate across large swaths of Syria and Iraq, both of whose governments are allied with Iran’s. etc.. and the news story continues..

"Colossal Defeat" For Obama As Australia Joins China's Regional Bank

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2015 23:15 -0400

Having attacked its "closest ally" UK for "constant accomodation" with China, we suspect President Obama will be greatly displeased at yet another close-ally's decision to partner up with the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). As The Australian reports, "make no mistake," the decision by Australia's Abbott government to sign on for negotiations to join China’s regional bank, foreshadowed by Tony Abbott at the weekend, "represents a colossal defeat for the Obama administration’s incompetent, distracted, ham-fisted dip­lomacy in Asia."

Treasury planning emergency measures to meet debt

Already at the statutory federal debt limit, the Treasury is asking Congress to raise the ceiling as soon as possible.

By Doug G. Ware | March 14, 2015 at 1:45 AM

WASHINGTON, March 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Treasury is getting ready to once again start maneuvering to keep the federal government from defaulting on its debt, and possibly setting off undesirable financial consequences, the agency said Friday. The United States is currently at the federal debt limit, but for the last 12 months hasn't had to suffer the consequences of it -- thanks to a congressional-imposed suspension, which expires Sunday. That means, Treasury officials say, they will have to take "extraordinary measures" beginning Monday to keep the federal government's head above fiscal water. Unless Congress acts quickly to raise the limit, those measures will include putting a stop to a planned $46 billion investment in the federal employee pension fund, which is scheduled for June. By halting the reinvestments, the government effectively borrows that money to help stay under the debt. However, by law, that money must be repaid before the debt limit can be increased again. Other measures the Treasury will likely take are drawing down a currency stabilization fund and imposing moratoriums on state and local government deposits, USA Today reported. The federal government began imposing limits on the amount the Treasury can borrow nearly a century ago, but because of multiple recent struggles to stay beneath it Congress simply suspended the law. The suspension, granted in February 2014, expires Sunday. "Beginning on Monday, the outstanding debt of the United States will be at the statutory limit," Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew wrote in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner Friday. "Because Congress has not yet acted to raise the debt limit, the Treasury Department will have to employ further extraordinary measures to continue to finance the government on a temporary basis." Lew informed Boehner the Treasury is planning to declare a "debt issuance suspension period" on reinvestments into several funds. "These actions have been employed during previous debt limit impasses," Lew said. Lew urged Rep. Boehner to raise the federal debt ceiling as soon as possible, but did not offer any indication how long the Treasury's planned measures will last. The Bipartisan Policy Center, which monitors finances influencing the national debt, estimates that the U.S. government will lose its ability to borrow money between October and January. "Protecting the full faith and credit of the United States is the responsibility of Congress, because only Congress can extend the nation's borrowing authority," he said. "No Congress in our history has failed to meet that responsibility." The Treasury chief concluded the letter by asking Congress to refrain from making a political issue out of the government's pending financial predicament. In addition to Boehner, the letter was also addressed to several other congressional members who wield power to increase the debt. etc.. and the news story continues..

China, the largest buyer of US Treasury’s ceases buying Treasury’s…and US Treasury yields collapse?!? The Chinese (and others) buy record amounts of gold and create an imbalance of demand over available supply…and prices collapse?!? These are clearly not the actions of a market attempting to find a balance between price, supply, and demand. July ’11 to December of ’14, China decreased its holdings of US Treasury debt by $71 Billion (according to the most recent TIC data)…while China continued to run record trade surplus’ with the US. China took in excess of a trillion new dollars since August of 2011 through 2014 and simultaneously sold or rolled off $71 Billion in US Treasury holdings…so China had to find a home for nearly $1.1 trillion new dollars. etc.. and the news story continues...

Presbyterian group changes marriage definition to include same-sex couples

By Holly Yan, CNN Updated 10:08 AM ET, Wed March 18, 2015

(CNN) The country's largest Presbyterian denomination has changed its definition of marriage to include gay couples -- though not explicitly. Presbyterian Church (USA) approved an amendment to its constitution after most of its 171 presbyteries -- or governing bodies -- voted for it, PC (USA) said Tuesday. Before, the definition said marriage was between "a man and a woman." The new definition says, in part, that "marriage involves a unique commitment between two people, traditionally a man and a woman, to love and support each other for the rest of their lives." Already, PC (USA) ministers can perform same-sex marriages in states where such marriages are legal, the group said. etc.. and the news story continues..

NATO Intercepts 11 Russian Warplanes With Transponders Turned Off Over Baltic Sea As World War 3 Build-up Kicks Into Overdrive

With NATO jets scrambled out of Lithuania to intercept 11 Russian warplanes flying with their transponders turned off over the Baltic Sea as shared in the 1st video below and this tweet from Lithuanian journalist Vaiotas Beniusis, the buildup to World War 3 has never been so clear as shared in the 2nd video below from Elite NWO Agenda which details NATO warships in the Black Sea which have started war games there while Russia has put its' military on full alert. NATO ships are holding live fire drills along with the Romanian Navy in the latest provocations against Russia as the Pentagon has come out in this new story warning that the US is now losing electronic warfare dominance to nations such as Russia and China as they rapidly develop new electronic weapons systems. Lithuania now fears a Russian invasion and is preparing as such with Germany sending more than 500 troops to Lithuania to take part in drills while the US has sent 600 troops to the Baltic states and Poland while NATO agrees to set up their own command centers in that region this Summer. Since Lithuania is a part of NATO, any act of war taken against them will trigger a 'mutual defense alliance' though Vladimir Putin doesn't believe that NATO would take a chance to defend such a small nation while risking a full-scale continent wide war with a very high potential of a nuclear confrontation. etc.. and the news story continues..

Tunisia: Death toll in museum attack hits 23

Asked about the influence of money in U.S. elections, Obama digressed into the topic of voting rights and said the U.S. should be making it easier for people to vote. Just ask Australia, where citizens have no choice but to vote, the president said. etc.. At least two dozen countries have some form of compulsory voting, including Belgium, Brazil and Argentina.

US Combat Forces, FBI and CIA in Ukraine: Vice President Biden Congratulates Poroshenko for Violating Minsk Peace Agreement

By Stephen Lendman Global Research, March 20, 2015

Obama continues using Kiev junta proxies to wage war on Donbass. He’s gone all-out to sabotage multiple peace efforts spearheaded by Russia. He didn’t wage war to quit. He’s supplying Kiev with heavy weapons, munitions and other US aid. US combat forces are in Ukraine working directly with its military. CIA and FBI operatives infest Kiev. On March 18, Joe Biden called Poroshenko. He congratulated him for violating Minsk. It calls for granting Donbass special status autonomous rule. Draft Kiev legislation designates it “temporarily occupied territories.” A White House statement said Biden “welcomed the (parliament’s) adoption of implementing measures relating to the law on special status for certain areas of eastern Ukraine…” He lied saying legislation adopted complies with terms stipulated under “September 2014 and February 2015 Minsk agreements.” Kiev continues violating their letter and spirit with full US support and encouragement. “The two leaders discussed the upcoming multinational training program for Ukraine’s (Nazi infested) National Guard forces, which the United States will support,” the White House statement said. They ‘agreed” on maintaining sanctions on Russia. They lied claiming they’re in response to “Russia(n) violence and instability in” Donbass. They concurred on pressuring “the international community…to increase the costs to Russia for pursuing such actions.” Sergey Lavrov responded saying Washington wants Ukrainian crisis conditions settled militarily. Kiev’s failure to grant Donbass special status violates its pledge to do so. etc.. and the news story continues...

Obama goes on TV to address Iranians with best wishes on their holiday of Nowruz- then bashes Israel and Americans who oppose his efforts to hand Iran nuclear weapons.

Is it not amazing that His Heinous Obama I – never misses the opportunity to commemorate or celebrate every single Islamic holiday in the world? Shia or Sunni? So Obama tapes a message broadcast on Iranian TV, marking the Persian New Year celebration of Nowruz and uses the occasion to promote his plan to hand Iran nuclear weapons to their Mullah’s and Ayatollah. He then went on to bash Americans who oppose his plan to hand them the weapons they will ultimately use on America and Israel. “A nuclear deal now can help open the door for you, the Iranian people,” Obama said on TV. Open the door to what? Global Conquest? Nuclear annihilation? Starting a nuclear WWIII to usher in their 12th Imam? This petulant boy-king, enraged at Benjamin Netanyahu’s victory not only declares that the United States will “reassess our relationship with Israel”, but then goes directly to the Iranians to promote his efforts to hand them nukes. This not only to a nation that promised to wipe Israel off the map, but an Islamic regime that just last week was found plotting to use nuclear weapons on the United States. Iran endorses nuclear EMP attack on United States One nuclear warhead detonated at high-altitude over the United States would blackout the national electric grid and other life sustaining critical infrastructures for months or years by means of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A nationwide blackout lasting one year, according to the Congressional EMP Commission, could cause chaos and starvation that leaves 90 percent of Americans dead. Iranian military documents describe such a scenario–including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States. Thus, Iran with a small number of nuclear missiles can by EMP attack threaten the existence of modernity and be the death knell for Western principles of international law, humanism and freedom. For the first time in history, a failed state like Iran could destroy the most successful societies on Earth and convert an evolving benign world order into world chaos. etc.. and the news story continues..

An explosive IS expansion into North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula

Published March 21st 2015 05:57pm

Groups in Yemen, Tunisia, Nigeria, Libya, Sinai have all pledged their allegiance to the Islamic State group As the fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq intensifies, the expansion of the group into North Africa and Nigeria has experts concerned. The last few months has seen groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria and Ansar Beit al-Maqdis in the Sinai peninsula pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the group. In November a audio recording by Baghdadi urged his supporters to "erupt volcanoes of jihad everywhere," and announced "the expansion of the Islamic State to new countries, to the countries of the Haramayn (Saudi Arabia), Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Algeria." etc. Mathieu Guidere, an expert in Islam at the University of Toulouse told AFP that IS "has never hidden its desire to expand into (the Arabian Peninsula), and Yemen is a prime target as it is seen as the birthplace of the Arabs." In that recording he called on fighters to launch attacks in Saudi Arabia and in Yemen, where on Friday three suicide bombings claimed by IS killed at least 142 people at mosques in the capital of Saana. The same has been seen in the Sinai, where in recent months, attacks carried out by Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which changed its name to Welayat al-Sinai (Province of Sinai), have escalated both in frequency and brutality. They have claimed responsibility for over a dozen attacks both on Egyptian security forces as well as foreigners in the peninsula. Nigeria's Boko Haram pledged allegiance last month, and while military operations by the Nigerian military and Chad has chased the group's fighters from several Nigerian towns, similar to IS in Yemen and Sinai, the group will very likely receive money, equipment and training for its fighters. Jacob Zenn, an expert on Boko Haram, wrote in a West Point Combating Terrorism Center study on IS's expansion that "the merger with the Islamic State was a strategic, calculated, and long-term decision coming from the top of the Boko Haram leadership and communications structure." Groups in Libya which pledged allegiance have established a foothold in the eastern part of the country, especially in the cities of Derna, Benghazi, Tripoli and Sirte. According to a State Department report, it is estimated that 1000-3000 IS fighters are operating in Libya, including "senior" IS leaders from Syria and Iraq. Due to its strategic location, US officials are concerned that the disintegration of Libya "has given IS an opening to establish a legitimate foothold." An attack on the five-star Corinthia hotel saw several Westerners killed in Tripoli and over a dozen Egyptian Copts were beheaded in February by the group in Sirte. In the video of the beheadings of the Copts, IS warned "We will conquer Rome, by Allah’s permission." That warning was not ignored by European governments, as over 3,000 Europeans have traveled to Syria and Iraq in order to fight with IS and over 750 have returned. On Thursday French Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned that Europe is facing the greatest terrorist threat in its history. etc. Tunisia says museum gunmen trained in Libya Tunisia said two gunmen who killed 21 people at its national museum trained at a militant camp in Libya. etc.. and the news story continues...

Russia warns Denmark its warships could become nuclear targets

Russia tells Denmark not to join Nato missile shield or face becoming a target for Russian missiles

By Julian Isherwood, Copenhagen 2:51PM GMT 21 Mar 2015

Russia has gone on the offensive in the Baltic, warning Denmark that if it joins Nato’s missile defence shield, its navy will be a legitimate target for a Russian nuclear attack. “I don’t think that Danes fully understand the consequence if Denmark joins the American-led missile defence shield. If they do, then Danish warships will be targets for Russian nuclear missiles,” said Mikhail Vanin, the Russian ambassador to Denmark, to the Jyllands-Posten newspaper. How do we protect the Baltic states? “Denmark would be part of the threat against Russia. It would be less peaceful and relations with Russia will suffer. It is, of course, your own decision - I just want to remind you that your finances and security will suffer. At the same time Russia has missiles that certainly can penetrate the future global missile defence system,” Mr Vanin said. etc.. and the news story continues..

U.N. warns Yemen conflict could become Iraq-Libya-Syria scenario

By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS Mon Mar 23, 2015 9:03am IST

(Reuters) - The United Nations warned on Sunday that Yemen's conflict could become an "Iraq-Libya-Syria" scenario if either side pushes for control of the country, prompting the U.N. Security Council to threaten further measures if the hostilities do not end. etc.. U.N. mediator Jamal Benomar briefed the 15-member Security Council on Sunday and said Yemen had been pushed "towards the edge of civil war." "It would be an illusion to think that the Houthis could mount an offensive and succeed in taking control of the entire country," Benomar said via video link from Doha. "It would be equally false to think that President Hadi could assemble sufficient forces to liberate the country from the Houthis. "Any side that would want to push the country in either direction would be inviting a protracted conflict in the vein of an Iraq-Libya-Syria combined scenario," he said. Earlier on Sunday, the Iran-allied Houthis took over the central city of Taiz in an escalation of a power struggle that diplomats say risks drawing in neighboring oil giant Saudi Arabia and its main regional rival, Iran. The U.N. Security Council condemned the takeover of much of Yemen and its institutions by the Shi'ite Muslim Houthis, urged them to withdraw, etc.. and the news story continues...

The United States will not take the floor at the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday as it debates human rights violations committed in the Palestinian territories, a US spokesman told Reuters. The step is unprecedented at the 47-member state forum, where Washington has unfailingly defended Israel since US President Barack Obama became president in 2009. The decision not to appear follows signals that the Obama administration is undertaking a "reassessment" of relations with the Jewish state.

White House warns Israel that occupation must end

Mar. 24, 2015 | 12:22 AM Middle East

Agence France Presse

WASHINGTON: The White House Monday bluntly warned Israel that its occupation of Palestinian territories must end, dismissing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to take back controversial campaign pledges. In unusually tough language that underscores the fracture in relations between Washington and Tel Aviv, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said “an occupation that has lasted for almost 50 years must end. McDonough criticized Netanyahu’s pre-election pledge to block the creation of a Palestinian state – the supposed end goal of decades of fruitless peace talks – and he questioned Netanyahu’s efforts to undo the damage. “We cannot simply pretend that those comments were never made, or that they don’t raise questions about the prime minister’s commitment to achieving peace through direct negotiations,” he said. “The Palestinian people must have the right to live in and govern themselves in their own sovereign state,” he added. McDonough is one of President Barack Obama’s closest advisers, and his speech to the liberal pro-Israel lobby group J Street – where he was dispatched by the president – was followed closely in Washington. Netanyahu’s pledge deepened a long-running disagreement with Obama but his top aide said the row was not based on “personal pique.” “America’s commitment to a two-state solution is fundamental to U.S. foreign policy,” McDonough said. etc.. and the news story continues...

Another Middle East War Breaks Out: Saudis Begin Bombing Yemen, US Military Taking Action

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2015 23:53 -0400

Update: *OBAMA AUTHORIZED LOGISTICAL AND INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT TO GULF, U.S. MILITARY TAKING MILITARY ACTION TO DEFEND SAUDI BORDER, TO DEFEND AGAINST HOUTHI VIOLENCE

John McCain & Lindsay Graham explain Obama's move...

U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) today released the following statement on Saudi Arabia leading an international coalition conducting air strikes against Iranian-backed separatists in Yemen: “Saudi Arabia and our Arab partners deserve our support as they seek to restore order in Yemen, which has collapsed into civil war. “We understand why our Saudi and other Arab partners felt compelled to take action. The prospect of radical groups like Al-Qaeda, as well as Iranian-backed militants, finding safe haven on the border of Saudi Arabia was more than our Arab partners could withstand. Their action also stems from their perception of America's disengagement from the region and absence of U.S. leadership. “A country that President Obama recently praised as a model for U.S. counterterrorism has now become a sectarian conflict and a regional proxy war that threatens to engulf the Middle East. What's worse, while our Arab partners conduct air strikes to halt the offensive of Iranian proxies in Yemen, the United States is conducting air strikes to support the offensive of Iranian proxies in Tikrit. This is as bizarre as it is misguided – another tragic case of leading from behind.” etc.. and the news story continues...

Saudi deploys 100 fighter jets, 150,000 soldiers for anti-Houthi campaign

By Staff writer | Al Arabiya News Thursday, 26 March 2015

Saudi Arabia deployed 100 fighter jets, 150,000 soldiers and other navy units on Thursday, after it launched its operation against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Al Arabiya News Channel reported. The Saudi aerial deployment enabled the Royal Saudi Air Force to take control of Yemen’s airspace early Thursday. Reports also emerged that top Houthi leadership Abdulkhaliq al-Houthi, Yousuf al-Madani, and Yousuf al-Fishi were killed, and head of the Revolutionary Committee for the Houthis, Mohammed Ali al-Hothi, was wounded. Saudi allies including its Gulf counterparts - except Oman - also showcased their military power to curb the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels from reaching Aden to dislodge Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who remained in the southern city. The Gulf nations said they decided to “repel Houthi aggression” in neighboring Yemen, following a request from the country’s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi. In their joint statement Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait said they “decided to repel Houthi militias, al-Qaeda and ISIS [Islamic State of Iraq and Syria] in the country.” The Gulf states warned that the Houthi coup in Yemen represented a “major threat” to the region’s stability. The UAE contributed 30 fighter jets, Bahrain 15, Kuwaiti 15, Qatar 10 and Jordan 6 in the operation. On Thursday, Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan and Sudan also expressed their readiness to participate on the ground in Yemen. The Western-backed Syrian National Coalition opposition group said it backed the Saudi operation and voiced its support to Hadi as Yemen’s “legitimate” leader. The campaign has also received the backing of the U.S.

Iran-backed rebels loot Yemen files about U.S. spy operations

By Brian Bennett and Zaid al-Alayaa contact the reporter

Secret files held by Yemeni security forces that contain details of American intelligence operations in the country have been looted by Iran-backed militia leaders, exposing names of confidential informants and plans for U.S.-backed counter-terrorism strikes, U.S. officials say. U.S. intelligence officials believe additional files were handed directly to Iranian advisors by Yemeni officials who have sided with the Houthi militias that seized control of Sana, the capital, in September, which led the U.S.-backed president to flee to Aden. For American intelligence networks in Yemen, the damage has been severe. Until recently, U.S. forces deployed in Yemen had worked closely with President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi’s government to track and kill Al Qaeda operatives, and President Obama had hailed Yemen last fall as a model for counter-terrorism operations elsewhere. But the identities of local agents were considered compromised after Houthi leaders in Sana took over the offices of Yemen’s National Security Bureau, which had worked closely with the CIA and other intelligence agencies, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive operations. Yemeni intelligence officers still loyal to Hadi’s besieged government burned some secret files, one official said. But they couldn’t destroy all of them before the Houthi fighters, whose leaders have received some weapons and training from Iran, moved in. The loss of the intelligence networks, in addition to the escalating conflict, contributed to the Obama administration’s decision to halt drone strikes in Yemen for two months, to vacate the U.S. Embassy in Sana last month and to evacuate U.S. special operations and intelligence teams from a Yemeni air base over the weekend. etc.. and the news story continues..

In a fit of revenge, Obama Declassifies Israeli Nuclear Program that has Been Top Secret Since Ronald Reagan.. " A display of anti-Semitism and treason against the United States."

by L. Todd Wood, WESTERN JOURNALISM

The world has watched as our Dear Leader has thrown a temper tantrum against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We have heard the White House say there will be consequences. Well, now we know what one of those consequences is. President Obama has declassified the details of Israel’s nuclear program in a stunningly irresponsible and dangerous action meant to hurt one of our strongest allies. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the administration just released a report from 1987 that goes into extensive detail about Israel’s nuclear and conventional warfighting capabilities. Israel National News reports: In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel’s nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent. But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel’s nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth. The timing of the revelation is highly suspect, given that it came as tensions spiraled out of control between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama ahead of Netanyahu’s March 3 address in Congress, in which he warned against the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program and how the deal being formed on that program leaves the Islamic regime with nuclear breakout capabilities. We now have a major change in the United State’s approach to Israel. The message is that Israel can no longer count on the United States to guarantee its security. In fact, Obama has now shown that America will attempt to hurt Israel. This is nothing more than anti-Semitism, racism. Whatever our president feels about the Israeli Prime Minister, the Israeli people do not deserve to have their defenses against the Muslim terrorists who want to destroy them exposed. Their security is something they have to deal with on a daily basis. This declassification is nothing more than treason against the security of the United States, as well. I’m sure the Iranians are laughing with their new BFF, President Obama.

Turkey May Give Nod to Russian Missile Defense Offer – Official

17:52 26.03.2015(updated 17:56 26.03.2015

Turkey may reconsider a Russian proposal to jointly develop a missile defense complex if the price is right and the technology transfer terms are more acceptable to Ankara, a high-ranking official said in Ankara earlier this week. Turkey launched a tender for the purchase of long-range air defense systems in 2009. In 2013, Ankara announced that it had selected China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp’s (CPMIEC) FD-2000 area defense system for its air and missile defense requirement, dubbed T-LORAMIDS. Beijing said it would line up the system for just $3.4 billion. Moreover, unlike the other bidders, Beijing agreed to have some of the missiles’ components to be built in Turkey, and to hand their construction technology over to the Turkish side. CPMIEC’s bid beat out the more expensive proposals from Italian-French consortium Eurosam, maker of the SAMP/T Aster 30; a US partnership of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, maker of the Patriot; and Russia’s Rosoboronexport, which makes the S-300/S-400. The announcement caused concern among Turkey’s NATO allies, above all the United States. After the Chinese firm failed to meet all of the conditions of the $3.4 billion tender Turkey announced it would study rival bids. “We could reconsider the Russian offer if the price and technology transfer terms are significantly improved to make them more acceptable to us,” the Turkish official said. etc.. and the news story continues..

Egypt: US Playing 'Double Game' in War on Terror

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Egypt is now on the front lines of the battle against ISIS, and some of its leaders are making new accusations about the Obama administration's war on terror. They accuse the United States of playing a double game, fighting terrorists abroad while meeting with them at home. A recent White House meeting between President Barack Obama and Muslim leaders sent shockwaves through the Middle East, specifically in Israel and Egypt. The cause of the uproar: the group included leaders with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. "We just don't understand because we know the history of the Muslim Brothers," former Israeli Ambassador to Egypt Zvi Mazel told CBN News. "We know exactly who they are. So how come the United States, the administration -- in that case the president himself and the State Department -- receive delegation[s] of the Muslim Brothers?" Of the 14 leaders attending the meetings, at least three represented groups that were founded by or tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. One is an active lobbyist trying to convince the United States to remove Hamas and Hezbollah from the terror group list and put Israel on it. One photo showed a Muslim leader giving the Muslim Brotherhood salute in front of the State Department seal. "President Obama has some -- how do you say -- a weakness toward the Muslim Brothers," Mazel said. Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood spawned many terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda and Hamas, the Palestinian faction ruling the Gaza Strip. The organization is now outlawed in Egypt; yet the White House refuses to designate the group as a terrorist entity. "[The] Muslim Brothers is now the driving force of radical Islam," Mazel explained. "Muslim Brothers -- I mean an organization like al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram and all the others -- they base their behavior on the teachings of the Muslim Brothers." etc.. and the news story continues..

Israel to stop withholding Palestinian tax revenues

Three months ago, Israel suspended the payments after the Palestinians referred Israel to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for possible war crimes.

US Hegemony, Dollar Dominance Are Officially Dead As China Scores Overwhelming Victory In Bank Battle

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2015 17:00 -0400

It’s official: everyone has caught onto the fact that the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank story is extremely important. We’ve covered this exhaustively over the past month, but to summarize, the China-led development bank essentially marks an epochal shift away from traditionally US-dominated multinational institutions like the IMF and the ADB. Meanwhile, it also represents an implicit attempt by the Chinese to usher in a kind of sino-Monroe Doctrine and solidify their regional — and, to a certain extent their international — ambitions. In a desperate attempt to undermine the effort and preserve what’s left of US hegemony, Washington aggressively lobbied its allies last year to refrain from supporting the effort. Then the UK decided to join calling the bank an “unrivaled opportunity.” That effectively opened the floodgates and in short order, a bevy of Western nations and close US allies suddenly reversed course and indicated they were likely to support the new institution. Here’s more:

With the deadline for applications fast approaching, news coverage has picked up markedly of late. Here’s Bloomberg for instance: China’s clout has been expanding for decades, as its rapid growth allowed it to snap up a rising share of the world’s resources, its exports penetrated global markets, and its bulging financial assets gave it power to make big individual loans and purchases. Now, the creation of international lending institutions is leveraging that economic influence closer to the political and diplomatic arenas, as U.S. allies defy America to back China’s initiative. “This is the beginning of a bigger role for China in global affairs,” said Jim O’Neill, U.K.-based former chief economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., who coined the term BRICs in 2001 to highlight the rising economic power of Brazil, Russia, India and China etc.. and the news story continues...

13:34 28.03.2015(updated 14:47 29.03.2015)

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his address to the Arab League summit participants that Russia will continue contributing to the attainment of Palestine’s independence.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia will help Palestine in achieving its goal of becoming an independent state with the capital in East Jerusalem, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday in his address to the Arab League summit participants. “Russia will continue contributing to the attainment of this goal [Palestine’s independence], working through bilateral channels and through multilateral channels, including in the ‘Quartet’ of international mediators,” Putin said. The Quartet comprising Russia, the United States, the United Nations and the European Union, was established in 2002, aiming to reach a long-term peace agreement between Israel and Palestinians. The Russian president stressed on Saturday the need for closer cooperation between the Quartet and the Arab League, and highlighted Moscow’s readiness to cooperate with the league further. etc.. and the news story continues...

March heat shatters records in bone-dry Los Angeles

A series of heat waves this month -- including a brief one one that ended Friday -- brought a grim new distinction to hot, dry Los Angeles. This is the first March since record-keeping began in 1877 that has had six days with highs in the 90s or above in Los Angeles. That shattered the record set in 1977, when there were three days of highs in the 90s. Overall, temperatures are warmer, and the trend is expected to continue for the next three months. “This type of weather is very unusual,” said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Almost every day this year temperatures have been on average 10 degrees above normal in California, while there has been little precipitation, Seto said. “We are not only getting warmer, but we are also losing water,” he said. etc.. and the news story continues...

Arab League leaders agree joint military force

Staff writer, Al Arabiya News Sunday, 29 March 2015

The Arab League on Sunday called for the establishment of a voluntary, unified military force that member states can turn to when facing security challenges. The statement, issued in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, calls for establishing a voluntary Arab military force that can intervene to counter challenges that threaten the safety and security of any member, based on a specific request from that state. Iraq, one of the members of the Arab League, voiced reservations to the proposed military force. The statement also urged Houthis to “immediately withdraw from Sanaa, government institutions, and give their weapons to the legitimate authorities,” citing its support for the Saudi-led 'Operation Decisive Storm' in Yemen. On Saturday, the Saudi-led coalition continued for a third day a bombing campaign against the Houthi militias who are marching to the southern city of Aden after seizing the capital Sanaa last year. According to the statement, Arab leaders at the summit in Egypt also backed Yemeni President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi’s request to hold a conference in Saudi Arabia under the auspices of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Iraq rejected military intervention in any country and called for dialogue as the best solution. Lebanon stressed that any decision taken should prioritize Arab consensus. The Arab states also expressed their political and financial support to the legitimate government in Libya, and urged for the backing of the national army, according to the draft statement. They called on the United Nations Security Council to hastily lift an arms embargo on the internationally recognized Libyan government, which they considered as legitimate. The statement also stressed support for the Libyan government in order for it to control its borders with neighboring countries, a decision that Qatar voiced reservations. Algeria, for its part, considered lifting the weapons embargo and arming the Libyan army as part of the political solution in the country. Turning to Syria, the statement held the Security Council responsible, and urged Arab League Secretary-General Nabil al-Arabi to continue talks with the U.N. chief to place a course of action that includes a political solution to the Syrian conflict and according to the Geneva communique which stipulates a transitional government in Syria. Regarding Palestine, the statement voiced support for a one year budget starting April, and supported the Palestinian Central Council’s decision to revise political, economic and security relations with Israel in order to place more pressure on Tel Aviv to respect agreements signed.

Nasrallah lambastes Saudi Arabia, draws Hariri rebuke

Mar. 28, 2015 | 12:48 AM

BEIRUT: Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah launched a fierce tirade against Saudi Arabia Friday night, saying its military offensive in Yemen was doomed to fail and vowing that the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels would emerge victorious from the “Saudi-U.S. aggression.” Nasrallah’s remarks drew a quick response from former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who said the Lebanese were treated to “a storm of hatred against Saudi Arabia and Gulf states in response to the “Decisive Storm” campaign against the Iranian infiltration in Yemen.” “This storm of hatred deserves only to be ignored because it is the outcome of anger, frustration and tension,” Hariri said on his Twitter account Friday night. Hariri, however, pledged to pursue his Future Movement’s 3-month-old dialogue with Hezbollah “because the interests of our country are above any other consideration.” “We stress the need to continue the dialogue in order to protect Lebanon,” he said. etc.. and the news story continues...

UN says Israel, not Iran, North Korea or Syria worst violator of human rights

By Anne Bayefsky Published March 29, 2015 FoxNews.com

What country deserves more condemnation for violating human rights than any other nation on earth? According to the U.N.’s top human rights body, that would be Israel. Last week, Israel was the U.N.’s number one women’s rights violator. This week it is the U.N.’s all-round human rights villain. The U.N. Human Rights Council wrapped up its latest session in Geneva on Friday, March 27 by adopting four resolutions condemning Israel. That’s four times more than any of the other 192 UN member states. There were four resolutions on Israel. And one on North Korea -- a country that is home to government policies of torture, starvation, enslavement, rape, disappearances, and murder – to name just some of its crimes against humanity. Four resolutions on Israel. And one on Syria. Where the death toll of four years of war is 100,000 civilians, ten million people are displaced, and barrel bombs containing chemical agents like chlorine gas are back in action. Four resolutions on Israel. And one on Iran. Where there is no rule of law, no free elections, no freedom of speech, corruption is endemic, protestors are jailed and tortured, religious minorities are persecuted, and pedophilia is state-run. At last count, in 2012 Iranian courts ordered more than 30,000 girls ages 14 and under to be “married.” And what did that one resolution on Iran say? Co-sponsored by the United States, it was labelled a “short procedural text,” consisting of just three operative paragraphs that contained not a single condemnation of Iran. The Israel resolutions, on the other hand, were full of “demands,” “condemns,” “expresses grave concern,” and “deplores” – along with orders to “cease immediately” a long list of alleged human rights violations. Ninety percent of states – inhabited by 6.6 billion people – got no mention at all. Countries like China, Qatar, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. For the UN, there was not one human rights violation worthy of mention by any of these human rights horror shows. Why not? For starters, China, Qatar, Russia and Saudi Arabia are all members of the UN Human Rights Council. Actually protecting human rights is not a condition of being elected to the Council, and thereby transforming into a UN authority on what counts as a human rights violation. As a result, what counts fast becomes unrecognizable. Subverting human rights principles for all turns out to be the other side of the coin from subverting human rights for Jews. Thus at this session, “death to America” Iran sponsored a Council resolution called “Enhancement of international cooperation in the field of human rights.” It was adopted by consensus – with U.S. blessing. The Cubans successfully engineered a Council resolution on protecting “cultural rights” – minus free expression. The Palestinians – whose unity government includes the terrorist group Hamas – co-sponsored the resolution “effects of terrorism on the enjoyment of human rights.” The Organization of Islamic Cooperation – representing states where converting to Christianity is subject to the death penalty – sponsored a resolution called “combating intolerance of persons based on religion or belief.” Playing at caring about human rights is the U.N. game. And no state does it better than Iran. Iran’s human rights record happened to come up at the March session in the context of what the Council calls a “universal periodic review” (UPR). Touted as its leading human rights innovation, the same process is applied to every state every four years. That means Iran and Syria get treated the same way as, say, the United States and Canada. At the end of the UPR, a report is summarily adopted containing a bunch of recommendations that the former cast of characters summarily dismiss. It was suggested to Iran, for instance, that it stop peddling little girls as sex slaves for old men. The recommendation received this reply: “in light of Islamic teachings, a person that has reached the age of maturity and is of sound mind has the possibility of marrying.” The Council created a human rights investigator on Iran, but Iran has never let him into the country. Recommendations made to Iran during the UPR that it cooperate, were simply ignored. etc.. and the news story continues...

Netanyahu Says Looming Iran Nuclear Deal 'Worse Than Feared'

PM sounds alarm over imminent deal, hours after Iranian defector reveals US negotiating team just parroting Iranian demands.

By Tova Dvorin and Ari Soffer First Publish: 3/29/2015, 12:17 PM / Last Update: 3/29/2015, 1:05 PM

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has said the deal currently under discussion between Iran and world powers over Tehran's nuclear program is even worse than he had feared. "The dangerous accord which is being negotiated in Lausanne (Switzerland) confirms our concerns and even worse," Netanyahu said in remarks at a meeting of his cabinet broadcast on public radio. Netanyahu also highlighted concerns over Iran's wider expansionist ambitions in the region via Shia Islamist proxies and other terrorist groups. "Even as meetings proceed on this dangerous agreement, Iran's proxies in Yemen are overrunning large sections of that country and are attempting to seize control of the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb straits which would affect the naval balance and the global oil supply. "After the Beirut-Damascus-Baghdad axis, Iran is carrying out a pincers movement in the south as well in order to take over and conquer the entire Middle East. The Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis is very dangerous for humanity and needs to be stopped." The PM's statement comes after a close aid to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani defected while in Switzerland for talks - and revealed that the US negotiating team was essentially advocating on behalf of the Iranian regime's position. "The US negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran’s behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal," Amir Hossein Mottaghi said, shortly after defecting. etc.. and the news story continues..

Walmart joins opponents of Ark. religion bill

Laura E Monteverdi, KTHV-TV, Little Rock, Ark. 7:02 a.m. EDT April 1, 2015

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Local and state leaders and organizations urged Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson to veto House Bill 1228 — the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" — and raised concerns about what the measure could mean for the future of business in the Natural State. The full House passed the "religious freedom" bill Tuesday afternoon after three concurred amendments passed the House Judiciary Committee on Monday. The measure was originally sponsored by Republican Rep. Bob Ballinger of Hindsville. Hutchinson has said he will sign the bill into law. Retail giant Walmart, headquartered in Bentonville, posted a statement to Twitter on Tuesday saying that HB 1228 does does not reflect the company's values, and urged Hutchinson to veto the legislation. The bill would prevent state and local governments from infringing upon religious beliefs without a "compelling" interest. Supporters maintain it is not a discriminatory bill, but opponents say it will allow widespread discrimination against gays and lesbians. etc.. and the news story continues..

Palestinians Officially Join ICC Paving Way for Israeli “War Crimes” Lawsuits

By Lea Speyer April 1, 2015 , 11:02 am

The Palestinian Authority officially join the International Criminal Court at The Hague (ICC) on Wednesday, a move that was initiated by PA President Mahmoud Abbas after the failure of peace talks last year. By joining the ICC, the Palestinians seek to sue Israel for what they say are “war crimes,” despite potential backlash from Israel and the US. On January 1, the PA signed the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC. The UN announced that it would accept the “State of Palestine” as a member of the high court and implement its membership three months later. etc.. and the news story continues...

How Oregon's drought got started, and what it means for you

By Kelly House | The Oregonian/OregonLive

Oregon's fourth-straight drought year is in full swing. In Sunday's paper, The Oregonian/Oregonlive took a hard look at what that means for Oregonians. Here's everything you need to know about how it will impact industry, ecosystems, and you. This winter hasn't been all that dry. But it's been hot. Most regions of Oregon received normal or near-normal precipitation this winter. Normally, that would set the state up for a summer of healthy streamflows and fully stocked reservoirs. However, warm weather during the winter months meant most of that precipitation fell as rain. Mountains that normally would be piled high with snow remained bare. Without snowpack to melt throughout the summer, farmers and ranchers in Oregon's rain-starved regions are wondering how they'll irrigate their fields and pastures, while forest managers are bracing for a tough wildfire season. The drought could impact your grocery bills. etc,, etc.. It's so bad, more than half of the state is already eligible for federal aid. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Small Business Administration have freed up emergency aid money for 13 counties. Farmers and business-owners in Grant, Jackson, Baker, Crook, Douglas, Harney, Josephine, Klamath, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union and Wheeler counties are eligible for low-interest loans and other emergency assistance to help them deal with drought-related losses. It's sure to come in handy in places like Malheur County, where farmers are already planning to let some fields lie fallow while planting less-profitable, drought-resistant crops on their remaining acreage. etc.. and the news story continues..

US Fighter Jets Send Message to China With ‘Emergency’ Landing in Taiwan

19:00 02.04.2015(updated 22:30 02.04.2015)

The landing of two US fighter jets on Taiwan on Wednesday has angered China’s Foreign Ministry. While the Pentagon says the planes suffered mechanical trouble while flying a routine training exercise, others see it as a political message, warning China to slow its growing influence. The Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 outlined strict rules for how the United States should deal with the island. While Washington privately considers Taiwan to be an independent nation, China considers the island, only 140 miles from its shore, as its own territory under the “one-China policy.” While the US has pledged support to Taipei, should it be attacked, any military contact between the two is heavily frowned upon by Beijing. Which is why Wednesday’s landing of two F-18s at the Tainan air base is so troubling — and unusual. “We have already made solemn representations to the US side,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said in a news briefing. “China demands that the United States strictly abide by the “one-China policy”…and cautiously and appropriately handle the incident.” For its part, the Pentagon insists that the incident was an emergency situation, not intended as an act of defiance. etc.. and the news story continues..

Russia Ready to Sell S-300 Missiles to Iran if Sanctions Fall

12:57 03.04.2015(updated 12:58 03.04.2015)

Russia may resume a deal to deliver S-300 surface-to-air defense systems to Iran if only the UN decides to lift its ban on arms sales to Tehran, a leading Russian defense expert said on Friday. Negotiators from Iran, the United States and other world powers agreed on Thursday to a framework for a final agreement to curb Tehran’s nuclear program. Iran agreed in principle to accept significant restrictions on its nuclear facilities for at least a decade and submit to international inspections. In return, economic sanctions unilaterally imposed on the Islamic Republic by the US and EU will be lifted. Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov then said that a UN arms embargo against Iran should also go. "Lifting sanctions on Iran, including the arms embargo, would be an absolutely logical thing to do,” said Igor Korotchenko, who heads the Global Arms Trade Analysis Center think tank in Moscow. “Of key importance to us is the delivery of the upgraded S-300 missiles to Iran… A contract to this effect could be resumed on terms acceptable to both Moscow and Tehran,” he added. In 2007, Russia contracted to sell to Iran $800 million worth of S-300 missile units. Moscow suspended the contract in 2010 following a UN Security Council resolution to stop the sale of arms to Iran due to its controversial nuclear energy program. etc.. and the news story continues..

A year after firestorm, DHS wants access to license-plate tracking system

The Department of Homeland Security is seeking bids from companies able to provide law enforcement officials with access to a national license-plate tracking system — a year after canceling a similar solicitation over privacy issues. The reversal comes after officials said they had determined they could address concerns raised by civil liberties advocates and lawmakers about the prospect of the department’s gaining widespread access, without warrants, to a system that holds billions of records that reveal drivers’ whereabouts. In a privacy impact assessment issued Thursday, the DHS says that it is not seeking to build a national database or contribute data to an existing system. etc.. “If this goes forward, DHS will have warrantless access to location information going back at least five years about virtually every adult driver in the U.S., and sometimes to their image as well,” said Gregory T. Nojeim, senior counsel for the Center for Democracy & Technology. etc.. and the news story continues..

How historic California drought affects rest of nation, often for the worse

By Michael Martinez and Alexandra Meeks, CNN Updated 8:39 PM ET, Fri April 3, 2015

Los Angeles (CNN)It's more than just one state's internal problem. The historic California drought hurts the rest of the union, too. That's because California is a breadbasket to the nation, growing more than a third of its vegetables and nearly two-thirds of its fruits and nuts. Here's why we should heed the ongoing drought in the most populous state, a slowly expanding natural disaster now in its fourth year that this week prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to announce a mandatory 25% cutback in water consumption in all cities. It's already hit your pocketbook In 2014, one expert predicted consumers would pay more for some groceries because of the California drought. He was often right, according to statistics gathered by Timothy Richards, agribusiness professor at Arizona State University. Prices rose last year for these items on your kitchen table: • Berries rose in price by about 80 cents per clamshell to $3.88 • Broccoli by 11 cents per pound to $1.89. • Grapes by 64 cents a pound to $3.06 • Melons by 24 cents a pound to $1.23. • Packaged salad by 23 cents a bag to $2.91. Peppers by 26 cents a pound to $2.39. etc.. and the news story continues..

Czechoslovak Reservists Issue Memorandum against NATO

Group of Czech and Slovak reservists will not support NATO in a war against Russia

Mon, Apr 6 RI staff

MEMORANDUM

Czechoslovak reserve forces against the war planned by NATO commanders On January 19th 2015 the facebook group, which combines all members of the CSLA, PS, VMV, SNB in reserve or decommissioned, issued an important memorandum, which has become even more urgent in light of the situation today. A defensive back up location in the event that the group gets „disappeared“ from Facebook, the group of the same name exists on VK.com. as well. For the first time since the end of the 2nd World War we see a genuine threat of war yet again. Consequently, we consider it necessary to issue the following statement. We, the Czechoslovak soldiers in reserve, unanimously reject any participation in battles that are geopolitical acts of aggression of the global elite by way of NATO and the support of our governments. We swore to defend our homeland the Czech and Slovak Republics. We swore to protect the freedom and independence of our proud and sovereign nations, for which our ancestors laid down their lives in the world wars. We are guided by this oath in a civilian initiative to deal with a crisis situation. Freedom and independence is being jeopardized long time by a system of representative pseudo-democracy, where an elected representative does not have the obligation to advance the interests of voters and in practice, laws represent but the personal interests of the legislators, the interests of political parties and economic interest groups. Our homeland is under the pressure of global elites and economic interest groups, who are doing away with the power of citizens through a system of representative democracy. Our deliberately flawed constitution and charter of rights and freedoms is being perverted and constitutional laws are violated by legislators themselves. Legislative power is being privatized, executive power is being politicized and judicial power corrupted by lobbying laws and pressure from our governments. The results are an unplayable public deficit, deindustrialization, the privatization of the republic’s property and defrauded budgets, food and energy dependence, the privatization of natural resources, pensions and the health of citizens. Our country has been unlawfully divided, looted, indebted, people enslaved and their families liquidated by repossession genocide, national infrastructure transferred into the hands of western corporations. Destructive chaos and despair dominates in the community. For this reason, we the Czechoslovak soldiers in reserve recognize our military oath and together we come with a vision for the defense of our nations. We unequivocally reject fighting in the ranks of NATO against the Russian federation or other Slavic nations and we likewise intend to stand up firmly through organized civilian pressure against the further liquidation of our democracy, freedom and independence. We are uniting in a crisis situation and by utilizing our civilian and military skills and expertise we intend to create sufficiently strong, organized civil pressure for the period of time necessary to assert our patriotic goals. We swore allegiance to our homeland, the Czech and Slovak Republics. We, the Czechoslovak reserve soldiers, will fulfill this oath!

Russian paratroopers, post-Soviet security bloc forces to drill landing on Arctic ice floe

Russia April 06, 16:25 UTC+3

MOSCOW, April 6. /TASS/. Paratroopers from Russia’s Ivanovo and Pskov airborne divisions and rapid reaction forces from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member states are preparing for landing on a drifting Arctic ice floe, Russian Airborne Force spokesman Yevgeny Meshkov said on Monday. "Russian paratroopers are preparing jointly with the rapid reaction force contingents at the Olenya airfield in the Murmansk Region for landing on an ice floe drifting in the Arctic Ocean to participate in a training humanitarian search and rescue expedition to the Arctic Pole," the spokesman said. Food, materials, fuels and lubricants are also planned to be dropped to the ice floe by parachutes to make provisions for the expedition, he added. Airborne forces will use Arbalet-2 special parachute systems during the landing, the spokesman said. "After the landing, the servicemen will practise searching for, providing assistance to and transporting people who may suffer in expeditions, aircraft and ship accidents in extreme conditions of the Arctic Pole," the spokesman said. During the exercise, the troops will also gain skills in setting up a camp, deploying communications means and practice the methods of moving across snow-covered drifting ice floes amid abnormally low temperatures, the spokesman said. etc.. and the news story continues...

Intent of Russian military aircraft near U.S. shores remains unclear

By W.J. Hennigan contact the reporter

 The air is frigid and the wind is howling as Air Force Col. Frank Flores lifts a pair of foot-long binoculars and studies a hazy dot about 50 miles west across the Bering Strait. "That's the mainland there," he shouts above the gusts. It's Siberia, part of Russia, on the Asian mainland. Named for an old mining camp, Tin City is a tiny Air Force installation atop an ice-shrouded coastal mountain 50 miles below the Arctic Circle, far from any road or even trees. The Pentagon took over the remote site decades ago and built a long-range radar station to help detect a surprise attack from the Soviet Union. At least from this frozen perch, America's closest point to Vladimir Putin's Russia, the Cold War is turning warm again. U.S. F-22 fighter jets scrambled about 10 times last year — twice as often as in 2013 — to monitor and photograph Russian Tu-95 "Bear" bombers and MiG-31 fighter jets that flew over the Bering Sea without communicating with U.S. air controllers or turning on radio transponders, which emit identifying signals. The Russian flights are in international airspace, and it's unclear whether they are testing U.S. defenses, patrolling the area or simply projecting a newly assertive Moscow's global power. "They're obviously messaging us," said Flores, a former Olympic swimmer who is in charge of Tin City and 14 other radar stations scattered along the vast Alaskan coast. "We still don't know their intent." U.S. officials view the bombers — which have been detected as far south as 50 miles off California's northern coast — as deliberately provocative. etc. and the news story continues...

etc. They have the altar built for the temple and the temple is prefab and it will go up, even Israel has come to this nation and pleaded with them and many turned their back upon him and mocked him and put him to shame. And one of their greatest enemies they make a peace treaty with thus paving the way that they can make their nuclear weapons now. They have already got them, but now they can move unhindered because nothing was put in writing etc.

White House Mocks Netanyahu With Iran Nuclear Bomb Graphic

By Jack Moore 4/9/15 at 8:59 AM

The Obama administration has mocked Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his use of a cartoon bomb diagram in a 2012 address to the United Nations with a similar bomb graphic lauding the framework for a nuclear deal agreed with Iran last week. Netanyahu has criticised the framework agreement between world powers and Tehran - which outlines the conditions of any deal to be agreed by the end of June - as “a free path to the bomb” which would threaten Israel’s survival. He delivered a famous 2012 speech to the UN General Assembly in New York in which he presented a cartoon diagram of how close he believed Iran was to obtaining the nuclear bomb, pointing at the cartoon saying: “This is a bomb; this is a fuse”. Speaking to CNN about the agreed nuclear framework on Sunday, the Israeli leader said: “This is not a partisan issue. This is not solely an Israeli issue. This is a world issue because everyone is going to be threatened by the pre-eminent terrorist state of our time, keeping the infrastructure to produce not one nuclear bomb but many, many nuclear bombs down the line.” However, the White House struck back at Netanyahu’s criticism on social media with its own graphic which trumpets the benefits of a nuclear deal and the dangers of not agreeing any deal. The graphic says that without a deal, the world would see Iran resume “production of highly enriched uranium” with “no limits on stockpile” of enriched uranium and an “unlimited increase and advancement of centrifuges”. With a deal, there would be “no production or stockpile of highly enriched uranium” by Iran, with “centrifuges reduced by two-thirds” and the country’s uranium stockpile “reduced by 98% and capped”, it says. Relations between Netanyahu and Obama have fallen to their lowest-ever following the Israeli leader’s trip to Washington to deliver a controversial speech to the U.S. Congress, accepting an invitation from House of Representatives speaker John Boehner and bypassing Obama. In a blatant snub to Netanyahu, the president hosted a conference call with other world leaders directly in the middle of the Israeli premier’s speech. etc.. and the news story continues..
