Instead, Ankara is seeking a low-profile role – so low as to be almost

EU And The U.S. To Implement New Sanctions Against Russia
War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 7 hours ago
*New EU Sanctions Hit Russia On Friday -- BBC*
New EU sanctions against Russia will take effect on Friday, blocking loans
for five big state banks and curbing EU business with oil and defence firms.
The aim is to keep pressure on Russia over its role in the Ukraine crisis.
But the measures could be eased or lifted if a ceasefire in Ukraine holds.
Russia says it is preparing a response. One top Russian official said cars
imported from the EU could be targeted.
Nato says Russia still has about 1,000 heavily armed troops in east Ukraine.

Paul Craig Roberts reviews the effects of the 9/11 attacks after 13 years, during which "...a new generation of Americans has been born into the 9/11 myth that has been used to create the American warfare/police state." And this unfortunate generation has "been born to distrust of Muslims," to give up "privacy and constitutional protections," to accept "continuous warfare," and to live in "a society in which truth is replaced with the endless repetition of falsehoods." Then he reflects on the day of 9/11/01 when "no aspect of the National Security State worked. Everything failed" and remarks that if such a thing had actually been pulled off by a foreign power, "...there would have been demands from the White House, from Congress, and from the media for an investigation. Officials would have been held accountable for their failures. Heads would have rolled..."

Mark Daniels at Global Political Awakening - 15 hours ago
Brandon Turbeville
As the United States and NATO gear up for the second attempt at drumming up
popular support for airstrikes against Syria, the narrative of ISIS and
justifications for invading the sovereign nation have become so convoluted

the narrative spun by Western governments and their media mouthpieces.
Unfortunately, that is part of the plan – to keep the general public so
confused as to what is actually occurring overseas that, eventually, with
their opinions formed for them on social media, televi... more »

“Attachment vs. Detachment: Finding the Psychological Golden Mean”
noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
*“Attachment vs. Detachment: *
*Finding the Psychological Golden Mean”*
by Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D.
"Being too detached- or not sufficiently available or responsive to others-
represents one pole of the attachment continuum (see Part 1).
Over-responsiveness (or excessive relational dependency) defines the other.
Here what's impaired isn't our ability to experience the full spectrum of
human emotions, but our ability to sufficiently detach from these emotions
so we're not totally preoccupied, or consumed, by them.
Extremely sensitive to how others see us- in fact, being held so tightly... more »
“When the Good Do Bad”
noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
*“When the Good Do Bad”*
By David Brooks
"It’s always interesting to read the quotations of people who knew a mass
murderer before he killed. They usually express complete bafflement that a
person who seemed so kind and normal could do something so horrific.
Friends of Robert Bales, who was accused of massacring 16 Afghan civilians,
have expressed similar thoughts. Friends and teachers describe him as
caring, gregarious and self-confident before he — in the vague metaphor of
common usage — apparently “snapped.” As one childhood friend told The
Times: “That’s not our Bobby. Somethin... more »
“The left has already won this election”
Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 1 day ago
She’s right, you know.
Josie Pagani, that is, saying National is coasting on its rival's policy:
The left has already won this election.
John Key's National Party is still high in the polls, not because the
values of the right are popular, but because National's pitch is
essentially, "Trust us to implement Labour policy. We'll spend a bit less
than them doing it, and if you're lucky we'll give you a tax cut from the
savings -- maybe."
The left won the contest of ideas a long time ago, and National has
completely capitulated… promising only to administer the policy wins ... more »
The Poet: T.S. Eliot, "The Four Quartets"
noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing."
~ T.S. Eliot, "The Four Quartets"

"Shaya's Home Run"
by Rabbi Paysach Krohn
"In Brooklyn, New York, Chush is a school that caters to learning-disabled
children. Some children remain in Chush for their entire school careers,
while others can be mainstreamed into conventional yeshivos and Bais
Yaakovs. There are a few children who attend Chush for most of the week and
go to a regular school on Sundays. At a Chush fund-raising dinner, the
father of a Chush child delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by
all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he

*Obama And The Fall of Saigon -- George Packer, New Yorker*
Almost forty years ago, in April of 1975, as the North Vietnamese Army was
sweeping through South Vietnam toward Saigon, President Gerald Ford
addressed a joint session of Congress. He asked for seven hundred and
twenty-two million dollars in emergency military assistance for the
government of South Vietnam. He invoked the dire risk faced by tens of
thousands of South Vietnamese, including those affiliated with the United
States. In “Last Days in Vietnam,” Rory Kennedy’s gripping new documentary

Australia’s bubble banks [+ update 3]

Estimates suggest the Australian housing market has nearly $3 trillion of
bubble value waiting to burst, while the capital base of Australasia’s
banks is well under $200 billion.
This excessive leverage is not a healthy sign – especially when those
Australian banks are also *our* banks …
ONE of the top global regulators during the global financial crisis has

for Australia’s big four banks, arguing they are excessively leveraged and

*“Repressing the Inner Voice: Giving Away Power”*
by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM
“We can avoid giving away our power on a daily basis by listening to our
own voice of knowing. In many ways, we are taught from the time we are
children to give away our power to others. When we were told to kiss and
hug relatives or friends of the family when we didn’t want to, for example,
we were learning to override our inner sense of knowing and our right to
determine for ourselves what we want to do. This repression continued, most
likely, in many experiences at school and in situations at work. A... more »

As the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11 draws closer so does the possibility
that the United States and NATO will finally be able to realize their dream
of direct airstrikes against the secular government of Bashar Al-Assad’s
Syria.
After years of propaganda alleging Assad’s “brutality against his own
people” and a recent volley of “ISIS is under the bed”-style hype, complete
with beheadings, forced starvations, and other savagery, the American
people remain utterly befuddled regarding the true nature of events taking

Breakdown Of U.S.-Led Middle East Order: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, And Israel Don't Want To Fight ISIS

*Old Saudi Wahhabi clerics are American allies in the war against ISIS.*
*Young Kurdish feminists and female fighters are not American allies in the
war against ISIS.*
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel, the three biggest allies of the United
States in the Middle East, have made it clear, sometimes subtly, and
sometimes not so much, that they have no interest or desire to engage ISIS
militarily and halt its momentum.
Their neutral stance makes total sense since the governments of these
countries have played a big role in nurturing ISIS and helping it grow to

The Ant and the Grasshopper–NZ, 2014

The ant and the grasshopper have been around for a while. But now,
Grasshopper is eligible to vote …
*The ANT and the GRASSHOPPER*

Ant works hard all summer long in the withering heat and rain, building his
house and laying in supplies for the winter. Grasshopper thinks Ant is a
fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, Ant is warm and well fed.
Grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

Work hard, think ahead, and be responsible for yourself!

Researchers indeed continue to develop vaccines for tropical,

There are no commercially available vaccines for the virus - yet. But,
they've run into a big problem.
Researchers watching vaccine development caution that there will be initial
disease spikes with its use. There's no argument about this observation. In
fact, it's admitted.
But the explanation to ward off panic and ensure that people in other
