Government agents 'directly involved' in most high-profile US
terror plots 21 Jul 2014 Nearly all
of the highest-profile domestic terrorism plots in the United States since 9/11
featured the "direct involvement" of government agents or informants, a new
report says. Some of the controversial "sting" operations "were proposed or led
by informants", bordering on entrapment by law enforcement...A lengthy report, released on Monday by
Human Rights Watch, raises questions about the US criminal justice system's
ability to respect civil rights and due process in post-9/11 terrorism cases. It
portrays a system that features not just the sting operations but secret
evidence, anonymous juries, extensive pretrial detentions and convictions
significantly removed from actual plots.
Journalists, Anti-Vaccine Campaigners Could Be Considered
Terrorists Under UK Law 22 Jul 2014
The UK's terrorism laws are so broad they could be applied to journalists and
their supporters, as well as crimes that have nothing to do with terrorism,
according to a new report from the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation. David
Anderson QC presented his report to Parliament today, and called on ministers to
reverse the increasing "creep" of the laws in recent years...In his
report, he claimed that the law could even be applied to someone who publishes
an objection to vaccination, on the basis that could pose a risk to public
health.
MDR replies to apparent Zionist sympathizer --Michael Rectenwald, CLG News, responds to critic who
believes CLG treats 'Am Yisrael' unfairly By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org 22 Jul 2014
On Tuesday, CLG received an email from a subscriber. He wrote, "Lose my
e-mail. Your reports are excessively tendentious against Am Yisrael."
Dr. Michael Rectenwald provided the following response.
Dear S, Our posts have included no complaints about or criticisms of the Israeli people, per se. Our qualms are with the Israeli *government.* Similarly, we regularly criticize the U.S. government for its military expeditions and adventurism. By these criticisms, we imply nothing with respect to U.S. citizens, as such. We know that the majority, the working class, has no role in deciding international or other policies.

An open letter for the people in Gaza (The Lancet) 23 Jul 2014 We are doctors and scientists, who
spend our lives developing means to care and protect health and lives. We are
also informed people; we teach the ethics of our professions, together with the
knowledge and practice of it. We all have worked in and known the situation of
Gaza for years. On the basis of our ethics and practice, we are denouncing what
we witness in the aggression of Gaza by Israel.

Hours 23 Jul 2014 The FAA announced
today that they have not lifted their ban against travel to or from Tel Aviv's
airport and will prohibit travel to the country for an additional 24 hours. "The

risks to U.S. civil aviation are mitigated so the agency can resolve concerns as
quickly as possible," the FAA said in a statement.

FAA Orders US Carriers to Suspend Flights to Tel
Aviv 22 Jul 2014 American air

of up to 24 hours" after the FAA issued a warning in response to a rocket strike
this morning near Tel Aviv's main airport, officials said. In a statement, the
FAA said, "The notice was issued in response to a rocket strike which landed
approximately one mile from Ben Gurion International Airport on the morning...

operating to or from the airport," according to the statement.
Insane in the membrane:
U.S. Senate sets $225 million for Israel's Iron Dome in
emergency bill 22 Jul 2014 U.S.
Senate DemocRATs included $225 million for Israel's Iron Dome rocket
interception system in an emergency funding bill on Tuesday that also cut $1
billion from President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion to deal with
thousands of undocumented child immigrants [so corpora-terrorists could
eventually get more cheap labor]. More than 600 people - most of them
Palestinians - have been killed in the current conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza...U.S. lawmakers tend to be heavily pro-Israel.
[Too bad Detroit isn't Tel Aviv. Start reading.]
Israel attacks UN school sheltering Palestinians in
Gaza 22 Jul 2014 Israeli forces
[sociopaths] have attacked a UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians against
the Israeli offensive in the besieged Gaza Strip. On Tuesday, Israel's tanks
shelled the school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in al-Maghazi, located in central Gaza, an official
said on condition of anonymity. The school had also come under fire on
Monday.
Al-Jazeera Gaza offices evacuated after direct hit by Israeli
fire --Israel denies
deliberate targeting of TV station, but staff claim that 'two very precise
shots' were fired 22 Jul 2014 Israel's army has denied targeting the
Gaza offices of al-Jazeera TV after the network's correspondents reported that
the building had come under fire on Tuesday. Staff in Gaza said their 11th floor
bureau was hit by two Israeli bullets as a crew was preparing to broadcast live
from the balcony...The incident came a day after Israel's foreign minister,
Avigdor Lieberman, called for al-Jazeera to be banned.
RT stringer among 4 people taken hostage in besieged Ukraine's
Donetsk - report 23 Jul 2014 RT's
contributor, UK journalist Graham Phillips, is among four people taken hostage
by Ukrainian troops, ANNA news agency reports. Phillips has been missing since
he went to Donetsk airport on his own while a firefight was taking place. The

airport.
US: No link to Russian gov't in plane
downing 22 Jul 2014 Senior U.S.
intelligence officials said Tuesday that Russia was responsible for "creating
the conditions" [?] that led to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight
17, but they offered no evidence of direct Russian government involvement. The
intelligence officials were cautious in their assessment, noting that while the
Russians have been arming separatists in eastern Ukraine [and US
taxpayers fund - over $1 billion, thus far - the illegitimate Nazi regime in
Ukraine], the U.S. had no direct evidence that the missile used to
shoot down the passenger jet came from Russia. The officials briefed reporters
Tuesday under ground rules that their names not be used in discussing
intelligence related to last week's air disaster, which killed 298
people.
10 more questions Russian military pose to Ukraine, US over
MH17 crash 21 Jul 2014 Russia has
released military monitoring data, which shows Kiev military jets tracking the
MH17 plane shortly before the crash - and posed yet another set of questions to
Ukraine and the US over the circumstances of the tragedy. Military officials -
chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Andrey Kartopolov and chief
of the Air Force Main Staff Lt. Gen. Igor Makushev - posed a number of questions
to Kiev and Washington concerning the possible causes of the catastrophe in
Eastern Ukraine that killed almost 300 people last Thursday.
NYPD's Miller: No Likely Terror Connection in Brooklyn Bridge
White Flag Placement 22 Jul 2014
American flags were once again flying on top of the Brooklyn Bridge Tuesday
afternoon, after someone replaced the flags sometime overnight with what
appeared to be whitewashed or faded versions of Old Glory. NYPD Deputy
Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller said police do
not believe the incident was connected to any terror threat. Miller said as of
around 8:30 p.m. Monday, the American flags were still flying on the Brooklyn
and Manhattan towers of the bridge. But around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, construction
workers noticed the white flags had taken their place.
Norwegian citizen linked to increased airport security
screening, congressional sources say
22 Jul 2014 A Norwegian citizen who trained with a master bomb maker in Yemen
and recently was added to the State Department's list of international
terrorists has been linked to the increased security screening of flights coming
to the U.S., according to congressional sources familiar with the intelligence.
Anders Dale was believed to be trained by the master bomb maker Ibrahim al
Asiri, who was responsible for the 'underwear device that nearly brought down a
jet over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009,' [false flag] the sources
said.
Durham police investigate explosion on city
bus --Hazmat team
cleared scene 22 Jul 2014 Police in Durham are investigating an
incident on a bus. Just around 9:35 p.m. Tuesday, officers were dispatched to
the intersection of West Main and Corcoran Streets. The bus driver reported a
male got on the bus with a jug and when he got off, the jug exploded. It was
determined that the container was a "Drano Bomb".
Obama opens Eastern Seaboard to oil
exploration --Obama administration approves sonic cannons, reopening US
Eastern Seaboard to oil exploration [Oops! Looks like Obama used the MH17
disaster/Israel's invasion of Gaza to slide this act of eco-terrorism under the
radar.] 18 Jul 2014 The Obama administration is reopening the Eastern
Seaboard to offshore oil and gas exploration, approving seismic surveys using
sonic cannons that can pinpoint energy deposits deep beneath the ocean floor.
The cannons create noise pollution in
waters shared by whales, dolphins and turtles, sending sound
waves many times louder than a jet engine reverberating through the deep every
ten seconds for weeks at a time. Arguing that endangered species could be harmed
was the environmental groups' best hope for extending a decades-old ban against
drilling off the U.S. Atlantic coast. The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
acknowledged that thousands of sea creatures will be harmed even as it approved
opening the outer continental shelf from Delaware to Florida to
exploration.
Appeals court throws out key IRS rule on Obamacare
subsidies 22 Jul 2014 A U.S. appeals
court on Tuesday threw out a federal regulation that implements key subsidies
that are vital to President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul. The U.S. Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit accepted one of the main legal
challenges to the policy by conservatives opposed to an expansion of the federal
government. A three-judge panel returned the case to a lower court with
instructions to rule in favor of appellants who had sued to overturn the rule.
The ruling has the potential to cripple the
implementation of the law by making health insurance unaffordable for many
people.
D.C. court ruling deals new blow to Affordable Care
Act 22 Jul 2014 President Obama's
healthcare law was dealt a new blow Tuesday as a federal appeals court ruled
that due to a wording glitch in the Affordable Care Act, some low- and
middle-income residents are not entitled to receive government assistance to
subsidize their insurance. In a 2-1 vote, a panel of judges on the U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected the Obama
administration's argument that the problem was triggered by imprecise language
in the complex law and that Congress had always intended to offer the subsidies
nationwide to low- and middle-income people who bought insurance through one of
the state or federal health exchanges created under the law.
'Sad' polar bear not moving to Canada, Argentine zoo
says 22 Jul 2014 Argentina's last
captive polar bear will remain in the country despite a petition by more than half a million people
asking that he be moved to Canada. The director of the Mendoza Zoo
[death trap] in western
Argentina told The Associated Press Tuesday that the 28-year-old bear is too old
to safely be relocated. Animal rights advocates say the bear named Arturo paces
nervously in his concrete enclosure and suggest the animal suffers from
depression. They have campaigned to move the bear to a zoo in Winnipeg, which
has welcomed the idea. [Insurgents need to
go in and free that bear from his torture chamber.]
Last Month Was the Hottest June of All
Time 22 Jul 2014 Just like the
month that preceded it,
June 2014 was the hottest of its kind in our planet's history. According to
data
from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), global land and
ocean surface temperatures combined for an average of 61.2 degrees, making last
month the hottest June ever. That figure exceeded the previous record in 1998 by
1.3 degrees. In addition to marking the second consecutive month with a record
high global temperature, June was also the fifth month this year to rank among
the four hottest of all time for its respective month.
Burned cross found outside Clarksville

were out and the smoke had dissipated before Pastor Vernon Hooks arrived at New
Hope Missionary Baptist Church to find a burned cross Tuesday
morning...Clarksville Police arrived on the scene at about 6:30 a.m. after a
church member reported the incident. Another church member had passed the church
that morning and saw the cross propped up against a closed gate in the church
parking lot, according to a police report.
