Saturday, August 2, 2014 at 02:43AM Richard Gage, founder of "Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth" discusses evidence that Building 7 was destroyed by controlled demolition on September 11th.
Friday, August 1, 2014 at 10:41AM The tragedy of Malaysian MH 017 continues to elude any light of clarity being cast over it. The flight recorders are in England and are evaluated. What can come of it? Maybe more than you would assume. Especially the voice recorder will be interesting when you look at the picture of a cockpit fragment. As an expert in aviation I closely looked at the images of the wreckage that are circulating on the Internet.
First, I was amazed at how few photos can be found from the wreckage with Google. All are in low resolution, except one: The fragment of the cockpit below the window on the pilots side. This image, however, is shocking. In Washington, you can now hear views expresssed of a “potentially tragic error / accident” regarding MH 017. Given this particular cockpit image it does not surprise me at all.
Friday, August 1, 2014 at 10:33AM Satellite images Kiev published as ‘proof’ it didn’t deploy anti-aircraft batteries around the MH17 crash site carry altered time-stamps and are from days after the MH17 tragedy, the Russian Defense Ministry has revealed.
The images, which Kiev claims were taken by its satellites at the same time as those taken by Russian satellites, are neither Ukrainian nor authentic, according to a Moscow statement.
The Defense Ministry said the images were apparently made by an American KeyHole reconnaissance satellite, because the two Ukrainian satellites currently in orbit, Sich-1 and Sich-2, were not positioned over the part of Ukraine’s Donetsk Region shown in the pictures.

Along with the Iraq War, freedom fries, and Dick Cheney shooting a friend in the face, the George W. Bush administration was known for hyper-aggressive interrogation and detention policies carried out in the name of preventing terrorism. With the US Senate Intelligence Committee's report on post-9/11 excesses by the intelligence agency set to go public in a matter of weeks, CIA officials are now coming out of the woodwork to sell the masses on their honor and integrity.
But their PR offensive hit a stumbling block on Thursday, when an agency spokesman formally admitted for the first time that the CIA illegally accessed Senate investigators' computers.
An in-house inspector general found that "some CIA employees acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding reached between SSCI (Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) and the CIA in 2009,” according to agency spokesman Dean Boyd.
Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 11:25PM The U.S. could be funding the very terrorists in Afghanistan it is fighting because of an Army oversight process that’s so bad it’s not weeding out businesses connected to insurgents, a top watchdog warned Wednesday.
In one instance, a contractor identified as being connected to insurgents was even given access to a U.S. and allied facility — and got paid for its work — because it hadn’t been prevented from receiving jobs.
In many other cases, individuals and businesses that were found to be connected to insurgents are still eligible to receive contracts and funding from the U.S. government because the Army is not debarring them, said the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John Sopko.
Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 07:04PM Did you hear the great news? According to the latest Medicare Trustees report, “Medicare isn’t going bankrupt,” and Vox has a chart to prove it! Not only that, “slow health cost growth has improved Medicare’s financial outlook, extending the program’s trust fund to last until 2030.” That’s four years longer than last year’s forecast!
It all sounds great until you hear what Vox unaccountably elected not to tell its readers. All those rosy Medicare predictions are based on a scenario that no one with any common sense should believe. All those rosy Medicare predictions are based on a scenario that no one with any common sense should believe.”

The Federal Reserve said Wednesday inflation has ‘moved somewhat closer’ to its long-term target, but noted slack in the U.S. labor market. As such, the central bank cut its bond purchases to $25 billion a month from $35 billion, as expected. It also reaffirmed its plans to keep rates at historic lows until the economy improves further.
The central bank’s policy-making committee sees the risks to the outlook for economic activity and the labor market as nearly balanced and judges that the likelihood of inflation running persistently below 2% has diminished somewhat.
In the minutes of its June meeting, the Fed indicated it could conclude its bond-buying program in October as long as economic activity continues at its current pace.

The government Monday released its 74th annual Trustees' Report on the finances of Social Security. The prognosis is stable for now, virtually unchanged from last year, but uncertain down the road.
The bottom line for the 95 percent of Americans who are either claiming or who will be eligible to claim Social Security: The combination of payroll taxes and interest income on surplus payroll taxes invested in U.S. Treasury bonds plus the surplus itself is enough to pay what is owed recipients in full through 2033 -- 19 years from now.
Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 10:09AM Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel will destroy the Hamas tunnel network in the Gaza Strip "with or without a cease-fire," as the military called up another 16,000 reservists to pursue its campaign in the densely-populated territory.
Netanyahu's vow came as international efforts to end the 23-day-old conflict seemed to sputter despite concern over the mounting death toll, with more than 1,300 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and more than 50 Israelis, almost all of them soldiers, killed since July 8.
"We have neutralized dozens of terror tunnels and we are committed to complete this mission, with or without a cease-fire," Netanyahu said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate report on the CIA's interrogation and detention practices after the 9/11 attacks concludes that the agency initially kept the secretary of state and some U.S. ambassadors in the dark about harsh techniques and secret prisons, according to a document circulating among White House staff.
The still-classified report also says some ambassadors who were informed about interrogations of al-Qaida detainees at so-called black sites in their countries were instructed not to tell their superiors at the State Department, says the document, which the White House accidentally emailed to an Associated Press reporter.
Wednesday, July 30, 2014 at 10:43PM WASHINGTON (AP) — A former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called conservative Republicans "crazies" and more in emails released Wednesday.
Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with a colleague in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about members of the GOP, including one remark that was profane.
Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee's investigation. The Michigan Republican says the emails show Lerner's "disgust with conservatives."

The Obama administration is preparing to dump illegal immigrant juveniles in one of the nation's most prominent sanctuary counties in Maryland just weeks after Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D) reportedly begged the White House not to ship illegal immigrants to his state.
According to NBC Washington, "Montgomery County has been asked to house unaccompanied minors from Central America in a state facility until foster families can be found for them." Maryland is reportedly "looking to house up to 1,800 unaccompanied minors now in federal custody after crossing the border," and 25 of the illegal immigrant juveniles will be sent to Montgomery Country.
Wednesday, July 30, 2014 at 10:18PM At least 17 people have been killed and 160 wounded in an Israeli strike that hit a fruit and vegetable market near Gaza City, Palestinian officials say.
Hundreds of people were shopping in the market in Shejaiya, a spokesman for the Gaza health ministry said.
The attack came during a four-hour truce called by the Israeli military. Hamas, which controls Gaza, had rejected the truce as meaningless.
Meanwhile, Israel said three more of its soldiers had been killed in Gaza.
Palestinian doctors also said that another Israeli air strike after the partial humanitarian ceasefire was announced had killed seven people in Khan Younis.

After their total failure to blame eastern Ukrainian Rebels and Moscow for what appears to be Kiev forces shooting down Fight MH17 on July 17th, Washington and its NATO allies have shifted their propaganda strategy in a new attempt to implicate Russia for international war crimes…
Over the weekend, Washington used its US ambassador to the Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, to launch another fabricated social media post designed to blame Russia for “firing artillery over its border into the Ukraine”.
Tuesday, July 29, 2014 at 01:09AM "Obama is treated by the media as someone who is trying to bring about peace, when in fact everything he is doing is pushing us closer to the moment where thermonuclear war is inevitable!
Tuesday, July 29, 2014 at 12:22AM These are ONLY my opinions and are based on observations that have been made by myself and the individuals in my immediate circle! Rip it & Flip It, Have At It!
Monday, July 28, 2014 at 10:22PM The evidence Is now even stronger! We have a 2nd photo that shows that the plane boarded was a MRC, not a MRD! The flight MRC should have NEVER been there to begin with, according to flight logs!

Fareed speaks with former U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski about Israel's military operation in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on CNN told Wolf Blitzer that the invasion of Gaza was a strategy to demilitarize Gaza, explaining the use of force. But it has been quite a robust use of force…Do you think that it is going to succeed, the Israeli strategy?
No, I think he is making a very serious mistake. When Hamas in effect accepted the notion of participation in the Palestinian leadership, it in effect acknowledged the determination of that leadership to seek a peaceful solution with Israel. That was a real option. They should have persisted in that.

Deadly explosions slammed an urban street and a major hospital in the Gaza Strip on Monday, but Israel swiftly disavowed any responsibility for the blasts, one of which killed at least seven children playing in the street and the other hitting the grounds of Shifa Hospital, the most sophisticated medical facility in Gaza.
In texts and tweets, the Israeli military blamed "Gaza terrorists" for the explosions at Shifa and in a Gaza City refugee camp. Palestinian officials and witnesses said Israeli airstrikes caused the blasts.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported four people had been killed and four others injured by mortar shells that crashed on an Israeli community close to the Gaza Strip. It was not immediately clear whether the casualties were civilians or soldiers.
Monday, July 28, 2014 at 01:48PM Even as President Obama grapples with the crisis of immigrant children arriving at the Southwest border, White House officials are laying the groundwork for a large-scale expansion of immigrant rights that would come by executive action within weeks.
Officials signaled strongly Friday that Obama's move would shield from deportation large numbers of immigrants living in the country illegally, as advocacy groups have demanded.
Roughly 5 million of the estimated 11 million people who entered the country without legal authorization or overstayed their visas could be protected under a leading option the White House is considering, according to officials who discussed the proposals on condition of anonymity.
