In India, "Respected" Women Don't Get Raped

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 1 minute ago
The lawyer defending three of five men charged with the recent gang rape and murder of a young Indian woman intends to hold her male companion responsible for her death. *Manohar Lal Sharma said his clients would plead not guilty to all charges at their next court appearance. Mr Sharma said the male companion of the murdered 23-year-old was ''wholly responsible'' for the incident as the unmarried couple should not have been on the streets at night.* * * *''This is the mentality which most Indian men are suffering from unfortunately,'' said Ranjana Kumari, the director of the Delhi-ba... more »

George Osborne to the EU: Change or Britain will leave

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 4 minutes ago
The Chancellor made the threat despite saying that he wants Britain to remain a member of the EU. David Cameron is preparing to give a major speech about Britain’s future in Europe, which could pave the way for a referendum on EU membership. Some Conservatives say Britain should leave the EU if other members do not agree to much looser membership. Mr Osborne issued his threat to EU members in an interview with the German Die Welt newspaper published today. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9795800/George-Osborne-to-the-EU-Change-or-Britain-will-leave.html

France Urges Citizens to Leave Mali

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 4 minutes ago
France is urging its citizens to leave Mali amid reports of escalating clashes there between pro-government forces and Islamist rebels. Reports out of Mali's capital, Bamako, say the Malian army has launched an operation to retake the central town of Konna, which Islamist fighters captured on Thursday. Details on the operation are sketchy but witnesses reported seeing helicopters and planes landing late Thursday in the nearby city of Mopti. http://www.voanews.com/content/france-to-decide-on-malis-aid-request/1581820.html

Last year, 1082 more Americans were killed by drunk drivers than by gun owners, yet that is precisely what people like Piers Morgan and Joe Biden are calling for; collective punishment on all gun owners for the crimes of a tiny minority of SSRI-addled shooters.

Barbara Diamond at American Scofflaw - 8 minutes ago
Nobody calls for taking cars away from all drivers for the crimes of a minority. Everyone recognizes that the cars are not the cause of drunk driving. There is a drug involved, alcohol, that impairs the brain. And it is already illegal for anyone to operate a car while on that drug. So why do people like Piers Morgan want to take all guns away from law-abiding citizens, and steadfastly refuse to address the fact that at least 90% of the crimes involved people either on or withdrawing from prescription anti-depressants? If alcohol, not the cars, cause drunk driving, it is time to un... more »

Lack of deal with Iran on nuclear talks alarms Russia

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 11 minutes ago
Russia expressed alarm on Friday that no date or venue had been agreed for a new round of talks between global powers and Iran over Tehran's nuclear programme. Iran, which denies Western accusations it is seeking to develop a capability to make nuclear weapons, said last week it had agreed to resume talks in January with six powers. But Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday there was no final agreement on when or where a meeting would take place. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/11/us-nuclear-iran-talks-idUSBRE90A0LV20130111

But what concerns me here as that this technology isn't going to STAY overseas, fighting against third world countries whose resources the US government covets. As things fall apart financially here in this country, expect some of these weapons to be used against American citizens.

Drugmakers report U.S. shortages of flu vaccine, Tamiflu

Rocky Gone; Never Did Have To Spend It All

Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 16 minutes ago
Jay Rockefeller today announced that he will not seek another term. He was going to have a tough time winning it, perhaps; Republicans had already recruited a tough challenger, Shelley Moore Capito. And of course West Virginia has been increasingly Republican lately, although more so in presidential voting than in statewide contests. Democrats do have some viable options -- and there's no guarantee that Republicans won't wind up with a Tea Party candidate after all. As Sean Trende suggests, any restraint that conservatives might have had about acting strategically in a primary may d... more »

Are Drones Self-Defeating?

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 32 minutes ago
Ask any Somali, Yemeni or Pakistani mountain tribesman. Barack Obama likes his drones or, more accurately, likes to use his drones to obliterate people he thinks deserve to be wiped from the face of the earth. It seems that not a week goes by that the Americans aren't whacking some top al Qaeda leader. Imagine the job description: "*...rapid promotion ...short hours ...early retirement*." Yet, judging by Obama's seemingly endless success there appears to be no end to al Qaeda leadership in need of whacking.

Panetta, Dempsey clear Pentagon desk of US military option for Syria: Proof that standing up to the United States is indeed possible

At a joint news conference Friday, Jan. 11, retiring Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs, Gen. Martin Dempsey, cleaned the Pentagon’s Syrian desk ready for incoming Secretary Chuck Hagel. Boiled down to essentials, their triple message was that Bashar Assad could not be stopped from using chemical weapons if he chose to do so, that securing the CW sites after Assad’s fall was the job of the “international community” and that no US ground troops would be sent to Syria.

Why, Do They Taste Like Chicken?

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 1 hour ago
I recently received an e-mail from Hedy Fry about "*how to find Liberals near you*." Truth be told, I'd rather know how to find Mormons near me because rumour has it they keep a full year's worth of food stockpiled and that information could come in handy some day.

Let's hope money can buy happiness because it sure isn't buying Americans much in the way of health.

Paul Craig Roberts and I differ in that he is a Reagan Republican and an economist whereas I am a progressive Democrat and a physicist. However, we are similar in age, academic training (we're each a Ph.D. in our respective discipline), and we are both widely recognized for our life's accomplishments. And one more thing: We are both searchers for THE TRUTH ...even when PCR's search cost him his livelihood and mine figured in my early retirement. And recently we both have had the sense that the official story of the Newtown shootings is false. The article that I re-post immediately below this one by PCR provides a stunning collection of new evidence supporting our mutual impression that the Sandy Hook atrocity took place very differently from what the U.S. government and colluding media wishes us to believe.

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 11 hours ago
Singer and reality star Jenni Rivera had ties to one of Mexico's most notorious drug cartels before she was killed last month in a plane crash, a shocking report has claimed. A witness reportedly came forward with claims that the Mexican-American performer, known as 'La Diva de la Banda,' was connected to the Beltran-Leyva cartel, which is regarded as one of the country's most feared criminal syndicates. The report by the Reforma newspaper also accused Rivera of performing at private events for the cartel and its one-time boss, Edgar 'La Barbie' Valdez, who was arrested in 2010. h... more »

[image: Nighttime satellite view of North Dakota gas flares. In North Dakota’s Bakken shale region, widespread flaring across millions of acres lights up the night sky, burning off enough energy each day to heat half a million homes. Flaring is also prevalent in other key shale regions, like Texas’s Eagle Ford. Excessive flaring of natural gas affects regional air quality and creates significant greenhouse gas emissions that investors are seeking to reduce.

When will testing fever end?

skrashen at Schools Matter - 13 hours ago
Sent to Education Week, January 10, 2013. “Testing group picks ‘college readiness’ exam” (January 9) announces yet another test to add to the staggering pile of tests our students must take. When will this end? Because there is no evidence that adding more tests helps students, and plenty of evidence that increased testing will be very profitable for those who sell the tests and supply the infrastructure for the required on-line testing, the obvious answer is that testing fever will end only when the greed of the standardized-testing-industrial-complex is satisfied.

Chet Raymo, “A Wildly Seething Power”

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 13 hours ago
*“A Wildly Seething Power”* by Chet Raymo "I read Kierkegaard's “Fear and Trembling” at about the same age as Kierkegaard was when he wrote it- thirty. The young philosopher was wrestling with his demons, including the death of his father, a sternly religious man who demanded absolute obedience from his son. He had jilted the woman he loved, a self-inflicted wound that perhaps not even he understood. He was torn, in my opinion, between the demands of faith and reason. Like many before him, he turned to the story of Abraham and Isaac as a way of understanding his own endangered fa... more »

Abe's new cabinet-- as far right as his grandfather's fascist cabinet during World War II In the lead up to World War II, Japan had it's own homemade brand of violent fascism-- and it wasn't a coincidence that they were allied with Germany and Italy. Until recently very few Japanese historians hesitated to describe the Japanese experience in the 1930s as fascist. Most interpreted it in Marxist terms as a last-ditch defense by monopoly capitalism, while also stressing that fascism had special characteristics in Japan.

Trillion Dollar Coin Reveals the Monetary System in Death Throes

Eric Blair I’m thrilled that the trillion dollar coin idea is being taken seriously by the establishment. Not because I think it is a viable solution to the national debt, necessarily, but because it shows just how close our monetary system is to reform. First, for those not familiar with the trillion dollar coin; the idea is that the U.S. Treasury can coin any monetary value they want for whatever purpose they choose. In this case the idea has been floated to Obama to avert the mandatory raising of the debt ceiling by coining a trillion dollar coin. In other words, Obama can ... more »
