America’s Next Failure: the Police State – Prof John Kozy

Every police force in the nation has cold (unsolved) cases. The War on Drugs has been ineffective for more than forty years. No one knows where a vast number of illegal immigrants even are. The CIA has been unable to locate Osama bin Laden after more than ten years of searching. Your local police cannot protect you from burglaries, drive by shootings, rapes, domestic abuse, or murder—even with the help of most ordinary citizens. The situation is so bad that numerous legislatures have legalized the carrying of loaded weapons so that ordinary people can protect themselves which is a complete abdication of the usual view that people should not take the law into their own hands. So what in the world would make anyone believe that policing can protect us from terrorists?

A number of commentators, particularly in Turkey and Russia, have been wondering why the hundreds of thousands of American classified documents leaked by the website last month did not contain anything that may embarrass the Israeli government, like just about every other state referred to in the documents. The answer appears to be a secret deal struck between the WikiLeaks “heart and soul”, as Assange humbly described himself once [1], with Israeli officials, which ensured that all such documents were ‘removed’ before the rest were made public.

Iran, a victim of state-sponsored terrorism

Those who mischievously called Iran a part of the so-called "Axis of Evil" and put its name in their fabricated list of the state sponsors of terrorism - the list from which the name of Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime was removed in 1982 so that the United States and its European stooges could rationalize their unjustified, immoral and insane war against Iran - have blatantly forgotten that Iran has been long one of the guiltless victims of terrorism, sponsored by the United States, Israel, UK and their puppets in the Middle East

Former US Senator Gravel: 'Israeli lobby behind Iran sanctions' 

Press TV: Isn't it Stick and Carrot policy again?
Gravel: First of all, the entire sanctions program [and] the foreign policy that the Americans have in this regard is dead wrong. Iran is doing nothing illegal and our intelligence community has no evidence that it is seeking to weaponize its nuclear capabilities. There is no evidence.
So, this is just part of a scheme that our government is perpetrating, which is really motivated by other foreign interest, obviously Israel. But keep in mind [that] there are two facets to this. One is that there is no evidence that Iran is doing anything wrong in pursuing nuclear energy.
The United States has encouraged doing this around the world and the first effort in Iran was done under American efforts, under the Shah. So, that whole area is bogus.

Deport the Rich  

The obscenely wealthy have moved beyond being mere social parasites on the body politic; their bottomless greed and selfishness now pose a positive threat to the survival of democracy. 

An Antidote to News from Arizona

 Egypt's majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.

From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as "human shields" for last night's mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.

Mercury Exposure Makes People Go Nuts

It is very interesting to note that that everyone is concerned in this video about green house gasses from coal fired plants but nothing is mentioned of the 50 tons of mercury that these plants put into the atmosphere each and every year in the United States alone. Coal plants put out lots of nasty stuff that have covered the globe but none as nasty as mercury.

Is Hydraulic Fracturing Responsible for Dead Birds, Dead Fish and Earthquakes in Arkansas?

 Last week I heard about clusters of small earthquake 'swarms' happening in Arkansas, I saw several articles that suggested that it may be due to fracking. I found a map with the producing wells and I added the blue dots to indicate where the dead birds, dead fish and earthquakes are, you can clearly see that they are definitely in the Fayetteville Shale drilling zone.

Obama, Holdren – get your filthy hands off Twitter! 

One of the worst things that is bound to happen in the next few years is the inevitable Big Government clampdown on the world’s last stronghold of free speech: the internet.
It’s one of the many of the reasons I am so suspicious of soap-dodging probable vampire Julian Assange, who strikes me as a malign spirit more interested in wreaking havoc in the relatively free West (just like his great fan George Soros) than he is, say, in the world’s Islamofascist terror states and Communist dictatorships. And I believe that in doing so, he is drawing exactly the kind of unnecessary heat onto the internet that we REAL lovers of free speech and liberty (as opposed to Assange’s Left-leaning anarchists) need like a hole in the head.
But that certainly doesn’t mean I have any sympathy whatsoever with the Obama administration’s outrageous demands that Twitter hand over the private messages of an Icelandic MP.

Hungary’s return to the bad old days of state-regulated media

The media law and the angry reaction from Europe seemed to open up old schisms dividing the 27-nation bloc, reminding some members of the authoritarian regimes the EU had been set up to prevent, and others of the increasing polarization between wealthy states such as France and Germany and debt-addled economic victims such as Hungary.
Mr. Orban, in a furious statement to reporters on Thursday, denounced the Western European countries for hypocrisy, arguing that his law differs little from similar legislation in France, which has government-appointed editors of some outlets and Germany, which has laws prohibiting anti-Semitic journalism.

 

Australia backed whalers in sinking

AUSTRALIAN diplomats were quick to absolve Japanese whalers of blame for the collision that sank the anti-whaling vessel Ady Gil a year ago, telling the US embassy in Canberra the Japanese would ''come away clean'' from any investigation.

New Zealand Foreign Ministry officials told the US embassy in Wellington that it was not clear which vessel was to blame for the incident that resulted in the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's Ady Gil being scuttled.

The odd thing about these dead blackbirds in Beebe is that they just dropped dead in mid-flight.  What sort of 'collision' could span three states and happen in multiple instances over a week-long period to cause such carnage?

Faenza Italy: The Rain of Death Turns Blue - Thousands of Doves Dying

Inside the beak, in some animals, the staining was of a strange blue.  In general, blue is a sign of hypoxia, caused for example by suffocation. The bluish tint, however, is also typical of potassium cyanide, a deadly poison used, for example, from poachers.

NUCLEAR IRAN A FALSEHOOD 

Virtually all information about nuclear weapons from US officials, news media and others is  wrong.
False claims of nuclear weapon threats  from important,  fully safeguarded nuclear power programs such as those in Iran

• undermine international safeguards  the only assurance nations have that their neighbors are not making nuclear weapons,
• lead to dangerous conflicts between nations,
• preclude effective negotiations to resolve conflicts and disagreements
• deter and delay nuclear power needed for transition from overuse of oil.

 Comment wouldn't load

"The United States makes  false claims of nuclear weapon threats in other nations because US government officials and others do not understand nuclear materials’ and weapons’ production technology and are unwilling to rely on information from those who do."
Yes
 "They also do not appreciate the importance of nuclear power to reduce use of fossil fuels."
They appreciate a good deal more than you realize.
"Virtually all information about nuclear weapons from US officials, news media and others is  wrong."
Give the man a cigar.
