U.S. intelligence takes blame for mixed Libya attack messages

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 14 minutes ago
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's office on Friday tried to explain the shifting public explanations for who was behind the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya. DNI public affairs director Shawn Turner said U.S. intelligence concluded "in the immediate aftermath" of the assault that it had begun "spontaneously" in the wake of violent protests in Egypt. "We provided that initial assessment to Executive Branch officials and members of Congress, who used that information to discuss the attack publicly and provide updates as they became av... more »

Ex-finance minister to challenge Merkel in 2013 vote

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 28 minutes ago
* A promising teenage footballer described as a "role model" for his community may have been murdered in a fight over a girl.* Junior Nkwelle, 15, was stabbed to death outside a block of flats and one theory was he may have been attacked by a jealous boyfriend. Officers were called to reports of a disturbance on the Loughborough Estate in Brixton just before 9.25pm on Thursday and found the boy with serious stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene and police said the killing was not believed to be gang-related. A 14-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of murder. L... more »

*"When Eyes Are Blinders of the Soul"* By Peter Michaelson "One way to diminish our suffering is to become conscious of when our eyes go looking for something that upsets us. Another way is to be watchful of what our imagination is up to. Just as sponges can soak up dirty water as easily as clean water, our eyes can also take in impressions from the world around us that leak misery into our soul. We like to think we use our visual faculty in pursuit of pleasure, but we also use it to entertain old hurts, grievances, and longings. Our eyes go looking for pleasure and stimulation-... more »

There is no peak wingnut. There is no depth beyond which conservatives cannot sink as they wallow in the stink of their blind and mindless hate: After four years of invective, four years during which the right has called President Obama a traitor, a communist, a fraud, an affirmative-action case, a terrorist-sympathizer, and a tyrant, its shrillest voices have been reduced to the most primal insult of all. They are calling Obama’s mother a whore. For a while now, pictures purporting to show Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, modeling in 1950s bondage and fetish porn have been flo... more »

Sunday Classics preview: Before and after -- Mahler learns that the's dying

I hate to get all shallow about it but Ye Gods, Ann Romney simply can't be our next FLOTUS. It would be too embarrassing. She has the worst fashion sense ever. I didn't watch her Leno interview but it appears the only thing notable about it is the horrible outfit she wore for her appearance. You can see the full length shot with the hideous shoes here.

Possession may be actual, constructive and/or joint. To prove possession, the Crown must prove beyond a reasonable doubt both knowledge of and control by the accused of the property allegedly possessed.

John Stackhouse too, by implication. And the best part is, she does it so politely and reasonably.

Over the last few years I have put up many articles in this blog exposing some of the real truths about our history, especially some important facts about World War II. We all know by now about the Dresden massacre of 1945 that saw the death of some 500,000 innocent German civilians, but many people are still unaware of some other horrific atrocities that occurred during and immediately after that horrendous conflict.

The Poet: Denise Levertov, "Variation On A Theme By Rilke"

*"Variation On A Theme By Rilke"* ("The Book of Hours, Book I, Poem 1, Stanza 1") "A certain day became a presence to me; there it was, confronting me- a sky, air, light: a being. And before it started to descend from the height of noon, it leaned over and struck my shoulder as if with the flat of a sword, granting me honor and a task. The day's blow rang out, metallic- or it was I, a bell awakened, and what I heard was my whole self saying and singing what it knew: I can." ~ Denise Levertov

Joint submissions on sentence

James C Morton at Morton's Musings - 4 hours ago
R. v. Milijanovic, 2012 ONCA 647 is a useful source for the principle that a court may reject a joint submission but not because it is close to inappropriate: [1] We agree with the appellant that the trial judge erred in principle when he rejected the joint submission on the sentence. The trial judge stated that the proposed sentence was "getting close to being a joint submission that the court would reject as being contrary to the public interest" and then imposed additional term, namely, an additional year driving prohibition and community service.

Almost Half Of All Americans Support Domestic Surveillance Drones

Close to half of Americans say they are in favour of police departments deploying surveillance drones domestically.

NETANYAHU GETTING DANGEROUSLY DESPERATE OVER IRAN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday illustrated the extent to which he has become obsessive to the point of being delusional about Iran.

Student loan defaults have risen for the fifth straight year, as students from traditional non-profit universities are having an increasingly difficult time paying off their college debt.

It is a detailed recounting of the back-and-forth negotiations among President Obama's White House, the Republican leaders in the House of Representatives, and the major players in the Senate regarding the debt ceiling and long-term fiscal outlook.

At Greg's place, I look at how Barack Obama's approval ratings continue to track George W. Bush's from 2004...but just a bit behind. And at PP, I argue that Tea Party primary challenges from 2010 are costing the GOP in Senate races in 2012 -- and that they'll continue to do so down the road. I've run this point out before, but I continue to think it's potentially a very big deal indeed. As I say over there, I have no idea whether there's been any effect lower on the ballot; I'd be very interested if anyone has any data on GOP quality candidates (that is, previously elected to office... more »

"Common Sense: A Musing"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 8 hours ago
*"Common Sense: A Musing"* by Craig Wiesner "Mitt Romney’s 47% comments have really been on my mind the last few days. Two things prompted me to post something here today. One, I had a long conversation with a homeless man who came by our shop on Friday. Two, Rev. Jim Burklo shared a new “musing” somewhat inspired by Gov. Romney’s secretly videotaped musings. I’ll share a bit about my Friday conversation, share all of Jim’s musing, and then close with a bit about how it all fits together. And… in case you’re wondering, the photo to the left is not Rev. Burklo or our homeless fr... more »

US inundates terrorist legions with cash & support after regional embassy attacks and death of own ambassador. *by Tony Cartalucci * *September 28, 2012* - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the US would be providing an additional $45 million in "non-lethal aid" to the "opposition" in Syria, reported the Associated Press. The Western press chose their words carefully, ensuring that the term "civilian opposition" was repeatedly used to describe the armed terrorist forces attempting to violently overthrow the Syrian government. *Image: Libyan Mahdi al-Harati of the ... more »

Gordon Duff: Mossad organized US embassy attack

*Dr. Webster Tarpley* and *Dr. Steve Pieczenik* have also said that the assassination of the American ambassador in Libya was a false flag that was planned in advance of the release of the trailer for the stupid "film" titled "Innocence of Muslims." It was previously called, *"Desert Warrior."* In the video below, Gordon Duff, senior editor of Veterans Today, mentions a recent letter by U.S. nuclear expert Clinton Bastin that was sent to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, American President Barack Obama, and IAEA Director General Yukiya Amato.

Syria and the magic wand

Jon Western at The Duck of Minerva - 9 hours ago
Yesterday’s NYTimes had an op-ed from Michael Doran and Max Boot on five reasons why the U.S. should show some backbone and intervene in Syria now: 1) it will help contain Iran; 2) it will help contain the regional spread of conflict; 3) it will contain the influence of Al Qaeda and other extremists in Syria; 4) it will improve U.S. relations with regional partners; and 5) it will stop the humanitarian crisis. Syria is tragic and complicated and I certainly do not want to contribute to the narrative that says nothing can be done to protect civilians. But, it is not helpful to pret... more »

Criminal Cartels Behind Global Trade in Illegal Timber

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 9 hours ago
Organized crime may be behind 15 to 30% of global timber trade. A U.N. report finds organized crime responsible for half to 90% of illegal logging in the Amazon basin, Africa and Southeast Asia. Japan, the United States and the European Union remain targets of illegal wood trafficking but the lion's share is destined for China. *The much heralded decline of illegal logging in the mid- 2000s in some tropical regions was widely attributed to a short-term law enforcement effort. However, long-term trends in illegal logging and trade have shown that this was temporary, and illegal logging ... more »

*TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- An Iranian general has said that his country's enemies will not survive if they attack Iran's nuclear sites.* A Friday report by the semiofficial ISNA news agency quotes Gen. Farzad Esmaili, chief of air defense, as saying "we vow our enemies will not survive," if they attack Iran's nuclear sites. The nuclear sites are a symbol of pride for Iran, he said, adding that "we will defend our dignity with our lives and blood." The remarks come a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the world to draw a clear "red line" to stop Iran's nuclear prog... more »

FRANCE SETS 75% 'SUPER TAX' RATE

*(Reuters) - France unveiled an austerity budget that would tax business and the super rich, but a report showing Spain's banks needed a manageable 59 billion euros in new funds bought time for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy as he seeks to avoid a bailout.* Socialist President Francois Hollande's 2013 budget amounts to France's toughest belt-tightening for 30 years as the debt crisis takes its toll on the euro zone.

Fed's Fisher says U.S. is "drowning" in unemployment

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 10 hours ago
*(Reuters) - The United States is "drowning in unemployment," its economy is running at stall speed and inflation is "not a problem," but easier monetary policy is not the answer, one of the Federal Reserve's most hawkish policymakers said on Friday. * "We've had a recovery that is quite disappointing," Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said. But without more certainty on tax policy and regulation, he said, "all the monetary accommodation in the world" will not get businesses hiring again.

Dave Letterman refers to him as "Mitch" Romney. I like it. Think it should stick.

Obama's "Double Tap" War Crimes

Barack Obama is very probably a war criminal. As Commander in Chief of a military behemoth that kills without regard to international law, Obama should be on trial if that sort of thing was conceivable in a world run on Victor's Justice. The Obama White House is big, very big on the use of heavily-armed drones to take out perceived enemies, particularly in Pakistan. We don't hear too much about what actually goes on but the drone programme is structured that way, to minimize public scrutiny.

By the way, speaking of that Politico story: Others have overcome innate political limitations on the way to the White House, including George H.W. Bush and Richard Nixon. Did Bush have below-average campaigning skills for someone at that level? His electoral record is pretty mixed. He couldn't win statewide in Texas in two tries during an era in which Texas was competitive but still leaned Democratic. His 1980 presidential run wasn't a winner, but was hardly an embarrassment. He captured the 1988 nomination...but as a sitting vice-president; he certainly didn't win as easily as, sa... more »
