"In Gaza, 95,000 Palestinians remain homeless following the last conflict [the 2014 Israeli blitzkrieg 'Protective Edge' and ongoing 8-year blockade], forcing many to face the winter cold in tents, shipping containers, or among the ruins of their former houses."
Stuart Littlewood explains, with reference to Israel's ongoing violations of international law and the principles of the United Nations, why it is past time for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign to embrace a draft resolution calling for Israel's expulsion from the UN.
Washington will not share intelligence data on Islamic State positions in Syria and will not accept Moscow's offer to cooperate on rooting out terrorism until Moscow changes its position on Syrian President Bashar Assad's future, the Pentagon said.
Islamic State, Russian anti-terror op in Syria, Syria unrest
Ever since the start of the Russian campaign in Syria in late September, Moscow has been offering to share information with the US-led coalition against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), urging Washington to reciprocate. After months of extensive diplomatic efforts by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, and the Kremlin, the Pentagon is still refusing to enter the proposed cooperation.
"We are not going to cooperate with Russia on Syria until they change their strategy of supporting Assad and instead focus on ISIL," US Defense Department Spokesperson Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza told Sputnik on Friday.
ISIL is funded, trained, and supplied by the US government; so it is absolutely no surprise that the US government wants to keep as much of it in tact as possible to continue to attempt to destabilise the Al-Assad regime.
But the US government has two problems here; Russia was invited to assist in getting rid of the Jihadis in Syria: the US government was not, for obvious reasons. Also, the Russia military has been doing an incredible job of destroying ISIL assets, sort of gobbling them up like Pacman, even without US government intelligence.
The above statement by Defense Department Spokesperson Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza says it all: regime change is the goal, and the ONLY goal of the US government in Syria, period, end of discussion.
Russia understands that ousting al-Assad right now would be the worst possible scenario for the people of this country, because it could potentially wind up getting overtaken by Jihadists just to the right of Attila the Hun.
Logic tells me that the Russian long-term view of this situation is correct.
It is unfortunate that what I am seeing here, in terms of the US government, is a move toward a total world war, generated by a war between the US and Russia; also, unfortunately, the US government cannot see any other way out of the financial bind in which it - and the Federal Reserve - have put the financial system, not to mention its citizens, in this country.
Quietly, just a few days before Christmas, the federal government made a huge change to the way it cooperates with local police departments: it's no longer giving local police departments a share of money or property seized from people who haven't committed crimes.
Approximately 62% of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts and 21% don't even have a savings account, according to a new survey of more than 5,000 adults conducted this month by Google Consumer Survey for personal finance website GOBankingRates.com. "It's worrisome that such a large percentage of Americans have so little set aside in a savings account," says Cameron Huddleston, a personal finance analyst for the site. "They likely don't have cash reserves to cover an emergency and will have to rely on credit, friends and family, or even their retirement accounts to cover unexpected expenses."
Witnesses, friends and family members uniformly described Pruitt as a "child" - a teenager with an IQ of 51 who cannot tie his own shoes, soils his clothes, has little verbal skills and lacks the ability to distinguish reality from fantasy.
Yet a St. Clair County investigator testified that Pruitt used the Internet to communicate with what he believed were representatives of the Islamic State and the Pakistani Taliban, and that he told an FBI agent that he provided links to encrypted information on car bombs, pressure cooker bombs and suggested high value targets for acts of terrorism.
A new investigation by the Pulitzer Prize-winning outlet InsideClimate News suggests that nearly every major U.S. and multinational oil and gas company was aware of the impact of fossil fuels on climate change as early as the late 1970s.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are about as different stylistically as can be. But when it comes to Internet policy, they're both equally in the dark — and just as willing to dismiss gaps in their thinking by making vague assumptions about America's engineering know-how.
The Christmas narrative of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one.
Consider the following if you will.
Had Jesus been born in the year 2015…
Rather than traveling to Bethlehem for a census, Jesus' parents would have been mailed a 28-page American Community Survey, a mandatory government questionnaire documenting their habits, household inhabitants, work schedule, and even how many toilets were in their home, etc. The penalty for not responding to this invasive survey would have resulted in a fine of $5,000.
Instead of being born in a manger, Jesus might have been born at home. Rather than wise men and shepherds bringing gifts, however, the baby's parents might have been forced to ward off visits from state social workers intent on prosecuting them for the home birth. One couple in Washington had all three of their children removed after social services objected to the two youngest being birthed in an unassisted home delivery.
This government used the events of 9/11 to turn this country into a police state, and the refinements on this continue apace.
But the problem here, after all the lies the American people have been fed to justify this, and the endless wars which followed, the American people can no longer believe a word the US government tells them.
Compliance can be, more or less, coersively and punitively enforced; but not trust, belief, or loyalty.
A TOP-SECRET document dated February 2011 reveals that British spy agency GCHQ, with the knowledge and apparent cooperation of the NSA, acquired the capability to covertly exploit security vulnerabilities in 13 different models of firewalls made by Juniper Networks, a leading provider of networking and Internet security gear.
This is insane.
The drug kingpins, the gangs, and the highly placed criminals already have nearly bullet-proof encryption; so why, please should the rest of us, trying to make a living, be punished with the various US alphabet-soup agencies examining everything we do on line?
Well, whatever poor sod has the dubious distinction of having to follow me on line knows I love my husband; love to create music; am a Christian pacifist who never advocates for violence; love staying in touch with my friends, and love to look at jewelry ( but rarely buys). In a word: boring!! :-)
Imagine for a moment that you were open carrying a pistol in a public space and all of the sudden, you accidentally squeeze off a round. There are two possible scenarios that would take place; the first one being that police return fire and you are killed. The second, less lethal result would be your inevitable arrest and charges of public endangerment, unlawful discharge, illegal use of a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon, terrorism, or a myriad of other charges associated with sending a deadly projectile hurling through walls and near the heads of innocent people. You would immediately be facing fines, jail time, probation, and firearms restrictions.
Bernie Sanders has a 2016 presidential election victory well within his reach — but a Sanders presidency would depend on one large voting bloc turning out at the polls, according to a new analysis of polling data released earlier this month by the respected Quinnipac University National Polling Center. In fact, that single voting bloc already has a much more favorable view of Sanders than of his Democratic rival, former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump and Rand Paul have had frequently contentious exchanges, with Trump insulting and eventually dismissing the relevance of Paul altogether. Since being sworn into the U.S. Senate, Rand thought he could cozy up to the establishment in order to garner support, but it backfired on him, alienating the very libertarian base which got him elected. Rand is now considered a very marginal and uninspirational politician. Ron Paul, while not enthusiastically endorsing his son Rand's campaign, has referred to Trump as an "authoritarian" and an "establishment empty suit."
A former head of the Shin Bet security service said Friday that the threat posed to Israel by a terrorist "underground" of religious far-right extremists has reached unprecedented levels, worse even than in the lead-up to prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassination in 1995.
"We're at a worse point than before the assassination of Rabin," said Carmi Gillon, who headed the agency when Rabin was murdered, in a Channel 2 interview on Friday night.
Here are some funny Tweets Donald posted on Dec. 24th, as well as all his Christmas Day tweets.
Webmaster addition: That should be "passed", not "past." Thank you common core!
U.S. officials held secret communications with members of President Bashar al-Assad's government to try to limit violence in Syria, and explored ways to encourage a military coup in 2011 as the civil war got under way, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
A Minneapolis city council member is under fire for posting phone numbers and home addresses of those criticizing the Black Lives Matter protests on Wednesday. Alondra Cano has since taken her controversial tweets down, but they're still all over social media.

This is the most logical article I have seen on Putin, his actions and his lack of actions. Russia will NEVER win against the Rothschild cabal until they toss the phony debt as money lie that almost all nations now live with as the cabal grabs ever more wealth through it. As well as having stolen over 90% of all wealth, world wide, they also own the best part of EVERY national debt, so-called, on these totally phony loans of nothing at usury instead of an honest real monetary medium of exchange. The world's worst crime in all history. It causes more grief than mass murders because it is that as well as every other economic crime combined with it.

The continuing Israeli blockade on Gaza has virtually stopped the freedom of movement and goods, the unemployment rate now standing at forty-three percent, and youth unemployment at sixty percent - the highest in the world, according to a World Bank report earlier this year.
The United Nations has already claimed that if the blockade and current situation continues, Gaza could be 'unlivable' by 2020.

Usually affirmative action diversicrats are sneaky enough to disguise their efforts to discriminate against targeted racial groups – almost always whites (because they are the majority) and Asians (because they study and work hard and achieve). They use code word language like "goals" and "diversity," and avoid giving the impression that certain groups are ruled out from consideration.
When she's on the campaign trail, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton touts the talking point that "33,000 people die each year due to 'gun violence.'"
It's an attention-grabbing claim, but the general listener could get the impression that those numbers are solely victims of mass shootings or murders. They're not.
Democrats have long since realized that people who are poor and dependent on the government will vote for them, even if it is their liberal policies that created the poverty and dependency. That's why every ghetto in America is controlled lock, stock, and barrel by liberal Democrats. Unfortunately, so many destitute Americans have yet to realize that liberal policies don't fight poverty; they maintain it.
As you head to the airport this Christmas, knowing full well that you'll soon have to endure the indignities of the TSA, you can at least take solace in the fact that you'll get to choose your indignity. When it's time to go through security, you can either go through a body scanner, or endure a grubby pat-down. However, that choice may not be available in the future.
Liberals have a unique way of defending President Barack Obama's dangerous economic policies. The tricks of Keynesian economists are used by this administration to trumpet the relatively low unemployment rate, while using accounting tricks to hide just how much Obama has grown the size of the Federal Government.

The founding editor of Business Insider UK, Jim Edwards, has had two tweets removed by Twitter at the request of Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML). Jim claims that in an e-mail from Bank of America, the bank threatened to remove the editor's Twitter if he "kept it up."
While this is only two tweets, there is a principle at stake. Investment banks apparently have the power to censor journalists on Twitter, simply by asking.
In the tweets Edwards had quoted a research document produced by analyst Teo Lasarte at Bank of America. One of the tweets was recoverable – which reads: "BAML's Teo Lasarte is developing a pun-based method for analyzing auto stocks." On Business Insider Jim Edwards continues:
This does not bode well for the future of honest communication by journalists.

An interesting topic was posted over at AboveTopSecret.com (ATS) discussing the origins of an infamous quote attributed to a CIA Director.
William Casey was the 13th CIA Director appointed by President Reagan from 1981 until he left in January 1987. Not long after his retirement he died of a brain tumor in May 1987.
During his tenure at the CIA, Casey played a large role shaping Reagan's foreign policy – particular Reagan's approach to the Soviet Union. Casey strongly believed that the Soviet Union was the source of most of the terrorist activity in the world.
But did former CIA Director William Casey really say these words? ATS member Sublimecraft points us to this Quora posting.

And now, the US government has so utterly blown its credibility that absolutely nothing it says can be mistaken for the truth in any situation.
A court ordered SoCal Gas Company to provide temporary housing for thousands of Porter Ranch, Los Angeles, residents made sick from fumes from a massive gas leak.
An infrared camera captured the size of the gas plume that's been leaking for two months.
The court order issued on Wednesday will come as a relief to more than 2,500 families in Porter Ranch, a northwest San Fernando Valley community, who have been waiting to be relocated by SoCal Gas since the leak began spewing methane into their homes and schools on October 23.
As of Tuesday, the company had paid for temporary housing for more than 2,000 other households, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In the spirit of the late, great George Carlin, I present "Merry Politically Incorrect Christmas," a free speech experiment that is fully intended to provoke the complete idiocy of the insane, racist, bigoted status quo on the political left and all its hatred and intolerance of anything Christian or white.

The TSA has been hit with a lawsuit just days after it quietly introduced new rules that banned the ability of travelers to opt out of the agency's controversial naked body scanners.
"In a document published earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security outlined an update to the Advanced Imagery Technology protocols used by the TSA at US airports, adding a clause which allows officers to insist travelers go through the controversial machines,"reported SlashGear.
The federal agency now insists it has the right to "direct mandatory AIT screening for some passengers," even if they refuse.
Activist Jonathan Corbett, who famously exposed TSA body scanners to becompletely uselessin detecting items concealed in hidden pockets, wasted no time infiling a lawsuitin an attempt to restore a traveler's right to opt out of the scanner.
Good. This almost could not happen to a more corrupt, totally useless Federal agency, and I hope the lawsuit's outcome will be favorable to Corbett.
Western national governments using their intelligence communities to collectively manufacture, orchestrate and stage violent world events promoting their endless war on terror and then employing their bought and paid for MSM propagandists to subsequently shape public opinion and perception has increasingly been the twenty-first century's go-to menu utilized by the powers-that-shouldn't-be.
Wow, that's brazen. They took "file and suspend" out back and shot it dead. No warning at all.
We figured this technique to maximize Social Security benefits would be safe at least until the next president took office and Social Security's looming bankruptcy would be too big to ignore.

"It has been 36 years, one month, 14 days, obviously, until President Obama signed the actual bill, until Iran was held accountable," he said.

We all know that if there was ever a nuclear war, there would be massive civilian casualties.

Kristy Lee Roshia, the 35 year old woman arrested and charged with threatening First Lady Michelle Obama, is most likely an employee of the U.S. federal government, if documents cited by the U.S. Secret Service are accurate. Roshia, currently being held without bail in federal custody in Hawaii, was arrested Saturday December 19th less than two miles away from the house where President Obama and his family will be staying for Christmas. The rental house, which is the same one the Obamas rented last Christmas, is a 7,000 square foot beachfront home which reportedly rents for $4,000 a night. According to media reports, on November 9th of this year Roshia sent a rambling letter to the Boston Secret Service office along with photographs of herself, and included a Hawaii return address located on Kane'ohe Bay Drive.

Provinces, SANA – A 22 m tall Christmas tree was lit up in Safita city in Tartous province on Saturday in honor of Syria's martyrs.
The event was attended by a Greek religious delegation currently visiting Syria and presided by Elder Elisaios, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Simonos Petras, Mt Athos-Greece.
"We came to Syria to send a message of joy and hope to its people that the future will be better," Elisaios said in a statement to SANA.
"We are anguished because the Syrian people have to suffer such great tragedies, and we pray to God to remove the injustice and suffering they are going through" he added.

Clarence Moses-EL has walked free after 28 years behind bars for a crime he says he didn't commit. In 1989, Moses-EL, who is African-American, was sentenced to 48 years in prison after a woman said she dreamed he was the man who raped and beat her in the dark.
New aerial footage of the leak was also released on Wednesday by the Environmental Defense Fund, which captured the intensity of the leak by infrared camera. The video footage shows a steady, thick plume pouring into the air over a densely packed residential area. It is hard to judge the width of the plume from the video, but EDF said it is pumping out 62 million cubic feet of methane into the atmosphere each day. Methane packs 80 times the 20-year warming power of carbon dioxide.
"What you can't see is easy to ignore. That's why communities that suffer from pollution from oil and gas development are often dismissed by industry and regulators," said Earthworks spokesman Alan Septoff in a statement. "Making invisible pollution visible shows the world what people in Porter Ranch have been living with every day for months."
Some 150 million pounds of methane has now poured into the atmosphere in just a few weeks. No one seems to know what caused it and no one seems to know how to stop it. The gas leak continues unabated. It shows no signs of stopping. It is now officially being called the worst catastrophe since the BP oil spill and the worst gas leak in California state history.
Obama will wax on all day about "climate change" right? Well methane is clearly much worse for the environment than the man-made carbon dioxide he's always railing against and where has he been on this one? Pushing gun control? Golfing?
This leak has supposedly already released the equivalent of what would be released from six coal fired power plants (the ones he wants to regulate out of existence) over the span of twenty years… in just under two months. And it just keeps leaking at an alarming rate.
And the president hasn't said a peep. Keep in mind, this leak was happening DURING the recent climate talks in Paris.

A new report by the Pulitzer-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh says the Joint Chiefs of Staff has indirectly supported Bashar al-Assad in an effort to help him defeat jihadist groups. Hersh reports the Joint Chiefs sent intelligence via Russia, Germany and Israel on the understanding it would be transmitted to help Assad push back Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State. Hersh also claims the military even undermined a U.S. effort to arm Syrian rebels in a bid to prove it was serious about helping Assad fight their common enemies.

Since initially reporting on California's Alison Canyon gas leak, more details have emerged on the scale (and potential for no solution) of the problem as the infamous Erin Brockovich writes, "the enormity of the Aliso Canyon gas leak cannot be overstated. Gas is escaping through a ruptured pipe more than 8,000 feet underground, and it shows no signs of stopping," as according to the California Air Resources Board, methane - a greenhouse gas 72 times more impactful in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide - has been escaping from the Aliso Canyon site with force equivalent "to a volcanic eruption" for about two months now.
The question which needs to be asked is, how was this allowed to snowball into such a catastrophe, with such potential harmful effects, and not handled when it was manageable?!?
There were some nasty assumptions, leading up to this, where reality and wishful thinking collided.
But what's making this massive leak so difficult to stop pertains to the storage 'container,' itself. "We have the largest natural gas storage system in the world," boasts Chris McGill, vice president of the American Gas Association. In the United States, old underground oil fields are often put to use as storage vessels for natural gas — because, hey, that geology worked just fine to hold oil for millions of years, so why not natural gas? In fact, there are some 300 such depleted subterranean oil fields being employed this way around the United States. Aliso Canyon, a natural gas storage site since the 1970s, has one of the largest capacities: 86 billion cubic feet. During the summer, gas earmarked for winter heating is pumped into these underground cavities by SoCalGas — and the process is reversed with the turn of the seasons. However, this year, workers encountered what quickly became evident was anything but a typical hiccup. As Wired reported: "On October 23, workers noticed the leak at a 40-year-old well in Aliso Canyon. Small leaks are routine, says Bohlen, and SoCalGas did what it routinely does: put fluid down the well to stop the leak and tinker with the well head. It didn't work. The company tried it five more times, and the gas kept leaking. At this point, it was clear the leak was far from routine, and the problem was deeper underground." Beginning December 4th, SoCalGas crews began drilling a relief well to intercept the fissured pipe
SoCalGas and SEMPRA should be sued out of existence for creating this massive flustercluck.
President Obama, like generations of Western leaders, has coddled the oil-rich Saudi monarchy by tolerating its reactionary politics, its financing of radical Islam and its military support for Sunni jihadist terrorism. But the spoiled Saudi leaders may finally be going too far, as Daniel Lazare describes.
After meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, he promised to intensify efforts to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by increasing aid to Al Nusra, Al Qaeda's official Syrian affiliate. A few weeks later, he assembled a coalition of nine Sunni Arab states to launch nightly bombing raids on Yemen, quickly reducing one of the poorest countries in the Middle East to ruin.

At this point, Saudi Arabia has really morphed into a "frenemy", and the myopic US State Department is certainly culpable here, for enabling that to happen.
There's a bipartisan effort to justify the killing of civilians in the "war on terrorism."
There has been a lot of consternation expressed in the media at a series of statements by Republican presidential candidates during their most recent debate and elsewhere in which a number of them appeared to be advocating the large-scale killing of civilians through aerial bombardment as a legitimate means of defeating the so-called "Islamic State." (ISIS or IS)
These statements did not simply rationalize military operations that result in large numbers of civilian deaths, which politicians in both parties have supported for decades, but actually advocate the killing of civilians as a legitimate tactic in counter-terrorism warfare.
Whether Democrats or Republicans, both parties are owned by the death machine of the military industrial complex; unfortunately, without other candidates as alternatives, no matter who Americans vote for next year, they will be voting for more wars, more deaths, and more maimings of Americans to ultimately enhance the bottom line of American and multinational corporations.
A plethora of controversy and allegations of steamy sexcapades, treasonous business scandals, illicit criminal activity, drug trafficking, and even a number of mysterious deaths has surrounded the Clinton family for years.
In fact, these scandals, many of which have been documented, may be some of the best kept secrets hidden from the American people to this day.
According to an underrated documentary film titled "The Clinton Chronicles," which contains scores of multiple eyewitness testimonies, the Clinton family is "sick" and may be one of the biggest criminal syndicates to have ever occupied the White House, aside from maybe the Obama Administration.
Everyone in America should see this documentary.
The Clinton family is, and has always been, a criminal enterprise in the extreme, which is one of the primary reasons Hillary should never get the nomination, or be elected.
We've had enough of sociopathic Executive "thugs in chief", have we not?!?
NATO issued a formal membership to Montenegro in early December. The decision triggered protests in the capital, gathering some 5,000 opponents.
The European Union and Montenegro opened negotiations on Monday on another two chapters on the country's accession into the bloc.
Montenegro Opens Two More Negotiating Chapters for EU Accession
"According to the procedure, the extending of the invitation letter will be followed by the opening of accession negotiations which will last several months. Following their completion, NATO member states are expected to sign a protocol on the accession of Montenegro to NATO and begin the process of ratification. The protocol will enable Montenegro to take part in most NATO meetings," the statement reads.
More encirclement of Russia, I see, with which the Putin government is not likely to be very happy.
Believe it or not, I was not the only person who confronted Donald Trump about his alleged "thousands of Muslims cheering on 9/11." Early in Trump's speech, a soft-spoken man in his 20's had stood up from the bleachers and told Trump that it's not true that thousands of Muslims were cheering on 9/11 in New Jersey. He was quickly ejected without incident, but I found him afterwards and interviewed him. He said that he would not use the term 'Jew,' that that is 'anti-Semitic,' and that it is "our duty as white people to fight white racism." He told me that he doesn't support Israel, and has a lot of anti-Zionist Jewish friends. He had never heard of the Jews arrested on 9/11, insisting that sounds like another "anti-Semitic, racist urban legend." You just CAN'T make this stuff up!
After first trying to ignore the billionaire bigot, and then getting humiliated by him, Jeb is now making his willingness to stand up to Trump the centerpiece of his campaign. He's just released an ad entitled "The Only One," in which he slams Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Chris Christie (a sure sign that Christie's surge in New Hampshire is real) for not attacking Trump. By contrast, the ad shows Jeb lustily going after the GOP frontrunner, while words like "chaos candidate," "unhinged," and "liberal" flash onto the screen.
At first glance, this seems laudable. But there are a couple of problems. For starters, >>>
The threat for avalanches will be high in the western United States over Christmas weekend
A persistent train of storms since November across the West has consistently caused new layers of snow to fall, some loose and some compact.
Avalanches are triggered when there is a compact layer of snow above a loose layer of snow.
The global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has condemned Ron Dermer, Israel's ambassador to the US, for giving American officials Christmas gifts produced in West Bank settlements, saying the move was a "cheap publicity stunt."
Bentzi Gopstein's call for ethnic cleansing of Christians and Palestinians from Israel mirror those of Trump here in America. Israel itself is lurching farther and farther toward fascism and outright religious hatred, if not war.
Life in Gaza became impossible, to the extent that the UN Conference on Trade and Development released a report last September warning that Gaza could become 'uninhabitable' in less than five years, if current economic trends continue.
Family members and supporters are demanding justice for Sandra Bland after a grand jury failed to indict anyone for her death.
If a 'Syrian opposition' is the desired outcome, this can only come organically from inside Syria, when Syrians are no longer under the threat of violent conflict.
The alternative, of course, is this Syrian opposition circus that is gearing up for a fall in Vienna. You can pay these clowns through the nose, but you will never get a performance out of them.
One of the reasons people haven't got much money anymore is probably due to the fact that the insurance mafia takes more and more of it all the time. -- Using the government as its muscle. -- First car, now "health." -- Soon, no doubt, mandatory life insurance will be required as well.
bankster games can raise stock market indexes but not fix the economy
Is freedom of speech welcome at the Mall of America? A judge has rejected an effort by the nation's largest shopping center to stop a Black Lives Matter protest.
Methane gas continues spewing, unchecked, into the air over southern California from a fractured well to an underground storage site — at such an alarming rate that low-flying planes have necessarily been diverted by the FAA, lest internal combustion engines meet highly volatile gas and, well, blow the entire area to hell. -- This is, indeed, the biggest environmental catastrophe since the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010; and for now, there is no way to stop it.
The late Senator Everett Dirksen once said "there's not a dimes worth of difference" between the Democrats and Republicans in Congress. The subsequent four decades since he made that remark have certainly proven his prescience. The current "Paul Ryan budget," which seems to have been written, line by line, by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, is slam-dunk proof of Senator Dirksen's observation.
NYPD cop Jonathan Munoz began pawing a woman in a suggestive manner before turning to her friend and arresting him for trying to record.
the prison industrial complex destroying the lives of prisoners and prison guards
snip: Made simple, what Obama failed to mention is that plutocrats took more than half the amount of the whole federal budget as their price, payable in future tax expenditures, for allowing the government that they own to continue functioning. What Bernie Sanders calls the "billionaire class" has taken over a formerly public bridge by force of bribery and is now charging tolls worth half its value to keep the non-military level of it functioning for civilians another year.
A plethora of controversy and allegations of steamy sexcapades, treasonous business scandals, illicit criminal activity, drug trafficking, and even a number of mysterious deaths has surrounded the Clinton family for years. -- In fact, these scandals, many of which have been documented, may be some of the best kept secrets hidden from the American people to this day.
labor overhead (AKA cost of government regulation and labor overhead) rises far faster than paychecks and business profits - the parasite is killing the hosts
A report indicates that President Obama will celebrate the Christmas season by circumventing Congress via executive gun control.
As corrupt public officials go, Hillary Clinton is in a league of her own. That's according to a Washington ethics watchdog that just named the Democratic presidential front-runner as the top ethics violator of 2015.
— On the night of December 4, Carol LaDue and her husband Richard were travelling along County Route 37 near Massena, when they saw an injured woman lying in the road.
The woman was 33-year-old Ashley McDonald, who'd just been hit by a car and was dying.
The political left has been trying to run other people's lives for centuries. So we should not be surprised to see the Obama administration now trying to force neighborhoods across America to have the mix of people the government wants them to have.
As old man Bush nears the end of his life, it seems not to be the end of the Bush dynasty. Jeb's story is also one of privilege, shady connections, get-rich-quick schemes, using the Governorship to make millions, and taking post-Governorship payoff's from Wall Street for lucrative state actions. As Jeb Bush struggles and plans to steal the nomination from the convention, we must ask ourselves, "do we really want another Bush in office? Why aren't these people in jail?"
The ship will join the USS John C. Stennis, marking the first time two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have been homeported in Bremerton.
Americans are living right on the edge — at least when it comes to financial planning.
Your next flight might include a mandatory trip through the body scanner, with the US government quietly changing the opt-out rules for searches. In a document published earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security outlined an update to the Advanced Imagery Technology protocols used by the TSA at US airports, adding a clause which allows officers to insist travelers go through the controversial machines.
A professor for political science at the University of Central Florida recently wrote an opinion piece for UCFToday calling for students to begin wishing one another a "Happy Federal Holiday" salutation instead of others that may be too selective and inclusive.
So I'm shouting at the top of my lungs five feet away from Trump "HEY- YOU LISTEN TO ME TRUMP! ISRAEL DID 9/11, YOU GOT IT TRUMP? FIVE JEWS WERE ARRESTED IN NEW JERSEY, NOT MUSLIMS. ISRAEL DID 9/11! THE DANCING ISRAELIS!"
And he stops his speech, listens to me, and replies "He's all right. He's okay... He's very committed, He's got a lot of energy. He's on our side." The news footage video shows the whole speech, and all of the remarks that Trump is making about me as I am shouting. I find Trump's remarks VERY interesting. Keep in mind, to several of the other protesters who disrupted his speech that very same night, Trump called them 'Losers,' 'weak,' and 'get them out of here.' But me, he said I could stay. WHY?
The city of Bethlehem erected what they call a "Resistance Tree." The tree, an olive tree which was recently uprooted by Israeli forces from a nearby neighborhood, was placed in the center of the main square, overlooking the towering Christmas tree and historical Nativity church. Instead of baubles and tinsel, the Resistance Tree was decorated with tear gas canisters clinking together like bells, photos of Palestinians recently killed or detained, Palestinian national scarves and sling shots.
Natural disasters. Nuclear attacks. Long-term grid collapse. Water shortages. An economic crash.
Those are the normal topics of conversation when preppers think about end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it events. But it's entirely possible the event that we never really thought about has been quietly gearing up, right under our noses. Maybe the real SHTF event is the ultimate terror attack - a cyber attack on the grid.
Earlier this week, the AP released a chilling investigative report about the vulnerability of our power grid to foreign hacks. In fact, according to this report, the grid isn't just vulnerable - it's already been under attack.
A Southwest Airlines plane experiencing gear issues is expected to make an emergency landing soon.
Flight 2547 is currently circling just outside the Oakland International Airport. Officials say the jet is expected to make an emergency landing at the airport at 11:30 local time.
UPDATE: Plane landed safely.

Star Wars artistically portrays Life as having a Light and Dark side. We in the real world factually prove Life as having a Light side of love, cooperation, and will for progress, with a thinly-veiled .01% empire engaged in Emperor's New Clothes obvious crimes of:
Unlawful and lie-began wars.
So-called "money" that is actually debt to create accelerating and unpayable total debt.
Destruction of nearly all rights lawfully guaranteed in the US Bill of Rights within the US Constitution, and in Orwellian inversion of limited government.
Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing intentional policy that has poverty-murdered over 400 million human beings just since 1995; more than killed from all wars in Earth's recorded history.
Israel has a good working relations with Daesh, too. I was told that Daesh troops entered the Palestinian camp al Yarmuk being equipped with long lists of Palestinian activists. They were assembled and publicly executed. The Palestinians think that Daesh received the names from Israeli secret service and acted upon their request. Moreover, Daesh never ever attacked a Zionist target.
Wishing you and yours the Merriest of Christmases …
And the Happiest 2016!
May we finally see Peace on Earth!
The Obama administration fought a legal battle against Google to secretly obtain the email records of a security researcher and journalist associated with WikiLeaks.
Newly unsealed court documents obtained by The Intercept reveal the Justice Department won an order forcing Google to turn over more than one year's worth of data from the Gmail account of Jacob Appelbaum (pictured above), a developer for the Tor online anonymity project who has worked with WikiLeaks as a volunteer. The order also gagged Google, preventing it from notifying Appelbaum that his records had been provided to the government.
Webmaster addition: To nobody's surprise, the video showing nobody at Hillary's event has been removed.
At times when media or politicians talk about video, like that of a Chicago police officer killing a 17-year-old, as inciting public unrest, you'd think they believe it is not the horrific action shown, its context and implication, that inflamed—but simply the video itself. It's as if when it comes to police violence against mostly poor, mostly people of color, some believe things would go easier if we just didn't know.
An official from New York University just threw the school into the spotlight after his response to an email from a Brown University senior asking to waive the fee to an application went viral for its insensitivity toward low-income students.
An Arizona lawmaker who believes the Earth is 6,000 years old is the new chairwoman of the state Senate committee that oversees education-related legislation.
I spoke to Donald Trump a few weeks ago at a South Carolina rally about the undue influence of the Israeli lobby, but my camera screwed up & didn't record the best part. That REALLY pissed me off, (you can't imagine how much), and I was determined to do it right.This time, I wasn't going to let that happen again. [See Trump Confronted On Dancing JEWISH ISRAELIS, NOT Muslims 12/12/15 Trump's Secret Service Agent Says "Let's Not Get Everyone Riled Up Okay?" in South Carolina..] Believe it or not, on Monday December 21 I actually scored yet another front row spot to see Trump. It was even better than South Carolina! I was standing only five feet away, right in front of him.
Fox News host Andrea Tantaros asserted on Tuesday that men in the United States could get their "masculinity back" by voting for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
t's like you can't swing a cat on the Fox News Facebook page without smacking straight into a bunch of racist assholes. On Monday, the right-wing propaganda outlet shared a photo of an orangutan wearing a Santa hat at the "Animal Christmas Party" at the Malabon Zoo in the Phillippines. Most people would look at the photo of the primate and think "hey, that's cute." Some might have a problem with what they view as exploitation.
"If you are taught bitterness and anger, then you will believe you are a victim. You will feel aggrieved and the twin brother of aggrievment is entitlement. So now you think you are owed something and you don't have to work for it and now you're on a really bad road to nowhere because there are people who will play to that sense of victimhood, aggrievement and entitlement, and you still won't have a job."

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Silfra (Audio CD)
Five INSPIRED Stars! A great musical duo. On "Silfra", Grammy-winning classical violin virtuoso Hilary Hahn and the inventive avant-garde pianist/composer Hauschka (aka Volker Bertelmann) produce exhilarating, modernist, non-conventional, totally-improvised duo performances. After two years of periodic preparatory sessions, they went to Greenhouse studio in Reykjavik, Iceland for 10 days to produce these amazing musical tone poems. "Silfra" re-introduces us to the adventuresome side of Hilary Hahn (who has performed with a beat-boxer and was last recorded with Valentina Lisitsa playing Charles Ives: Four Sonatas). And it displays Hauschka's prodigious musical acumen and his complex 'prepared piano' with its wide universe of sounds, using objects like ping-pong balls, foil, duck tape, floss, and mallets on the strings to produce sounds like cymbals, drums, clicks, continuous tones, and bell-like sounds whose pitch can be altered to startling effect. Hahn uses her wide palette of violin sounds and effects, arco and pizzicato, very inventively in this partnership. At times, one is not able to distinguish the piano from the violin. These improvisational pieces are neither classical, pop, nor jazz but something uniquely approachable and beautiful, without conventional compositional structure. The 'best of the best' begins with the lovely 1m:43s "Stillness"; the 12 minute "Godot", with Hahn creating some awesome effects over Hauschka's frameworks; the oriental-like "North Atlantic"; the more conventional beauty of "Krakow" and "Ashes"; the eerie "Halo of Honey" with freaky high register Hahn violin notes, and perhaps best of all, the swinging joy of the madcap "Bounce Bounce" and the awesome, bluesy, swinging "Draw A Map". The music is influenced greatly by the stark beauty and cultural implications of the Icelandic seascape of the "Silfra" geographical rift, near where they recorded this work. These are fascinating, propulsive, solemn or joyous pieces of cooperative sonic art created by a wonderful musical duo. Produced by Valgeir Sigur�sson. This recording is Highly Recommended. Five MARVELOUS Stars! (This review is based on NPR's "First Listen", the 5 YouTube videos, and an mp3 download of 12 tracks, Total time: 52m:22s. Hilary plays an 1864 Jean-Baptiste Villaume copy of Paganini's Cannone violin.)

CSR Programs Gaining Ground
Some 72 percent of companies now have formal corporate responsibility programs, up from 62 percent in 2010, according to a survey by Corporate Responsibility Magazine.
According to the second annual CR Best Practices Survey, dedicated corporate responsibility roles are also on the rise. Some 62 percent of organizations have a lead corporate responsibility role, up from 42 percent in 2010, the survey says.
Despite this general uptick in corporate responsibility programs, mid-sized firms still find it relatively hard to instigate CSR programs when compared to small and large businesses. Seventy seven percent of firms expect to expand their corporate responsibility programs over the next three years, the survey says.
The survey covers the following areas: Executive and board involvement in corporate responsibility, current and future corporate responsibility practice, the function and role of CSR, and CSR communications.
In October, Corporate Responsibility Magazine named companies including JP Morgan Chase & Co., Starbucks Corp. and Chevron Corp. as winners of its 10 Best Corporate Citizens rankings by industry.
The magazine releases an annual top 100 corporate citizens list, which this year was won by Johnson Controls, but this was the first time the magazine has released a ranking of industry-specific top tens.

How To Get And Keep A Good Figure
Category: OUR TELEPHONE EXCHANGE AND ITS CABLES
Source: A Handbook Of Health
Erect Position is the Result of Vigorous Health. Naturally and
properly, an erect, graceful figure and a good carriage have always been
keenly desired; and much attention has been paid to the best means of
acquiring them; as we say, we try to get the habit of carrying
ourselves straight and well. But it must be remembered that an erect
figure and a good carriage are the results of health and vigor, rather
than the cause of them.
Stooping, round shoulders, sitting all hunched up, or a shuffling
gait, are owing partly to bad habits, or slouchiness, but chiefly to
weak muscles and a badly-fed nervous system, often due to a poor
digestion and a weak circulation. If a child is not healthy and
vigorous, then no amount of drilling or reminders to sit straight and
stand erect will make him do so.
It is of great importance that the child should take an erect and
correct position for reading and writing, and while sitting at his desk;
and that the desk and the seat should fit him. But it is more important
that he should not sit at his desk in a stuffy room long enough to be
harmed by a cramped position.
There are few children who will hump over at their desks, if the
muscles of their backs and necks are strong and vigorous, and their
brains well ventilated. Nor will many of them bore their noses into
their books, or sprawl all over their copy books when they write, unless
the light is poor, or they have some defect of the eyes which has not
been corrected by proper glasses. A bad position or a bad carriage in a
child is a sign of ill health, and should be treated by the removal of
its cause.
Curvatures--Their Cause and Cure. There are various forms of
curvatures, or bendings, of the spine which are supposed to be owing to
faulty positions of sitting or of carrying the body. There is wide
difference of opinions as to their cause; but this all are agreed on,
that they practically never occur in sturdy, well-grown, active
children; and the way that they are now corrected is by careful systems
of balancing, muscular exercise, open-air life, and abundant feeding,
instead of using steel braces, or jackets, or schoolroom drills.
Much the same is true of other deformities and defects of the body, as,
for instance, round shoulders, or flat-foot, or even such serious ones
as club-foot and bow-legs. Nearly all these are caused by the
weakness or wrong action of some muscle, or groups of muscles. If this
be long continued or neglected, the bones--which, you will remember,
were made by the muscles in the first place--will be warped out of
shape. When this has occurred, it is often necessary to bring back the
limb, or foot, into a nearly straight position by mechanical or surgical
means; but we now largely depend upon muscular exercises combined with
rubbing and massage with the hand, and on building up the general vigor
of the entire body, so that the muscles will pull the limb or the
backbone back into proper position. Take care of the muscles, and the
bones will take care of themselves! Make the body strong, vigorous, and
happy, and it will hold and carry itself.

I will be very interested in seeing if Centerplate allows local groups to continue using the concession stands as fundraisers. I have heard that they are going to, but my guess is that they will change the current format so the local groups make less money.

The wife and I are thinking of doing a week in Jamaica come Spring of 2013. We have never been. I am looking for some advice on places to stay. Can anyone help?
We are not really into all-inclusives much but we would like some place nice. We would like to be VERY close to the beach and would like a pool ideally too. What we are looking to do essentially is to relax, get some sun but be near some decent restaurants and nightlife too. We are also into doing a adventurous day trip or 2 also.
What is the best part of the island to stay?
What is the best time of year weather-wise?
Recommendations on lodging?

Jamaica - Spring 2013
Report Abuse
I'd head to Negril. Fly into Montego Bay and arrange a shuttle for the 90 minute drive (we used Clive's, would recommend).
Look at Idle Awhile or Coco la Palm, smaller properties right on the beach.
Also, consider a few nights up on the Cliffs. Catcha Falling Star is lovely, there are others.
It's like two vacations in one. We could lie in bed in the mornings and watch the dolphins.
We stayed at places without pools, I think the three mentioned above all have them.
Report Abuse
Agree with the recommendations above. Idle Awhile doesn't have a pool, but COCO has two- one adult, one for adults/kids. Neither pool is very large, but they're fine for a quick dip.
If you are interested in either property, try to book soon. The spring months are very busy in the islands because of spring break and school vacation ( Easter/Passover) times.
Mid-April is our favorite time to visit Jamaica because it tends to be less crowded than March, and usually has great weather.
Both Idle Awhile and Coco are on the best part of the beach in Negril. Idle Awhile has slightly more upscale accommodations than Coco ( although the upstairs jr. suites are very nice), and tends to attract a quieter crowd.
Coco draws a lot of vacationing families and some of the ground floor units are in serious need of a re-do. But the upstairs units are spacious with nice balconies/terraces overlooking the pool or beach.
Neither property is luxurious, but both are comfortable enough and reasonably priced.
Report Abuse
A good alternative is Ocho Rios. You can stay at Fisherman's Point which is next to Island Village Plaza in Ocho Rios.
From here, everything is within walking distance: restaurants, attractions, entertainment spots and the beaches. The last time i checked the price was $85 a night for the room. There is a nice pool there.
Everything is within walking distance, even Dunns River Falls and Dolphin Cove.
Report Abuse
One word... Negril!!
Idle Awhile or Coco la Palm or Charela Inn on the beach.
Definitely check out Tensing Pen or Catcha on the Cliffs. I know you said near the beach (and these are a short taxi ride away) but they are very unique situations, garden settings on dramatic cliffs overlooking the sea.
Report Abuse
It depends on what you are looking for. If you want peace and natural surrounding and nothing too touristy then Portland, St. Thomas and accommodations that side of the island is best suited. If you are looking for tourist town then accommodations in Ocho Rios as alot of the major attractions in Jamaica are within walking distance or a short drive.

Good Day Danlotec,
Suggestions are very great that I see but I would also like to fine tune some of the details. Negril would be one of the more ideal area for you to stay but there are a few factors. Once you fly into Montego Bay it means that a shuttle must be arranged for you to get to Negril. Negril is very quaint and would be a relaxed area for you. Imagine seven miles of white sand and this is where most of the hotels are situated in this area. The only drawback is that the restaurants are not in walking distance compared to the Ocho Rios where the restaurants are in walking distance of any hotel that you may stay in the town. in Ocho Rios, you would get more action as everything is central, yet not crowded or noisy.You could hit me up for further details
Report Abuse
It's not big deal to arrange a shuttle from the airport to Negril. It's $30 per person and takes 90 mins. I arranged mine online in advance with Clives.
Depends where exactly you stay but there are lots of restaurants walking distance from most of the hotels along 7-mile beach.

Participants in the ongoing showcase of Mobile DTV technology in Washington, D.C., appear to like the mobile service and are tuning in multiple times per day, according to initial feedback.
Last week, Harris Interactive, which has been tapped by the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC) to collect participant response during the trial, reported Mobile DTV viewers in the nation's capital have praised the quality of the images they receive and the flexibility the new service provides.
Initial Harris Interactive findings include:
In May, OMVC launched the trial with Samsung Moment phones that are specially modified to receive the free mobile broadcasts. Last week, OMVC began deploying prototypes of the first Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbooks with Mobile DTV for use by selected showcase participants in Washington, D.C.
The Washington showcase involves nine area TV stations broadcasting 23 Mobile DTV channels with dozens of programs that are available throughout the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore viewing area on specially equipped Mobile DTV receiving devices. The showcase includes interactive advertising, electronic service guides for program information, closed captioning and emergency alerts.
