The leader of far-left party Syriza will not attend coalition talks on Monday, reports say, plunging Greece into further political disarray. State election deals blow to
Two huge explosions killed and wounded scores of people in Damascus. The government accused the opposition, which, in turn, accused the government. And then this, today: in a video posted online the Islamist group al-Nusra Front says it carried out two bomb attacks in the Syrian capital Damascus on Thursday (the original quote in BBC’s newspeak was: “A video posted online in the name of Islamist group, al-Nusra Front, says
By Paul Craig Roberts for the Information Clearing House Living in America is becoming very difficult for anyone with a moral conscience, a sense of justice, or a lick of intelligence. Consider: We have had a second fake underwear bomb plot, a much more fantastic one than the first hoax. The second underwear bomber was a CIA operative or informant allegedly recruited by al-Qaeda, an organization that US authorities have

In this movie Ryan Dawson did not uncover any new facts, but the way he

Egg and yogurt tossing at a reporter on Greek TV: If the talking heads of ABCBSNBCFOX were treated like that by the general public in the USA the Zioempire would collapse rather fast. But, of course, in the USA such protests would be met with tasers, pepper spray and live fire. Anyway, kudos to the Greek anarchists – thanks guys for making us laugh and dream! May your example inspire

The Raw Story reports: Things got heated during a Democratic primary debate for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut on Thursday when one candidate told another that he was “whore” over his support of a pro-Israel lobbying group. “I’m appalled that when I talk about the neoconservatives somehow it’s twisted to be some sort of a racist comment,” long-shot candidate Lee Whitnum said in response to U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy. “This
