Pentagon asks Congress to allocate $19 mln in support of
Ukrainian army 2 Aug 2014 The United States intends to provide 19 million to
bolster Ukraine's military operation, which pro-Kiev authorities conduct against
militias [and civilians] in the southeastern regions
of the country, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said. Kirby
said the money was intended to provide training for Ukraine's National Guard
forces, in particular to train four companies of soldiers and a headquarters
element..."The Vice President also announced approximately 8 million in new
assistance to the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service," the White House said in
its statement. [Too bad Detroit isn't

'Wrong time, altered images': Moscow slams Kiev's MH17
satellite data 1 Aug 2014 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 Moscow's
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.
NATO considers another base location closer to eastern
Europe 25 July 2104 A military base
in Poland could soon be repurposed to support NATO in its 'mission' to reassure
eastern European allies of its oversight amid the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
NATO's top commander in Europe, Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, told a briefing
in Naples this week that he plans to recommend "having capability in the forward
area -- preposition supplies, preposition capabilities, and a basing area ready
to rapidly accept follow on forces." U.S. European Command spokesman Col. Martin
Downie said in an email to Air Force Times that Supreme Headquarters Allied
Powers Europe is discussing options to repurpose an existing headquarters "to
serve as an Article 5 focused rapid response."
Russia keeps fugitive whistle-blower Edward Snowden in legal
limbo 1 Aug 2014 The Kremlin is
keeping Edward Snowden guessing about whether it will renew temporary asylum for
the fugitive U.S. intelligence contractor. Snowden, who is wanted by U.S.
prosecutors after he leaked details about NSA surveillance practices, was
stranded in the transit lounge at a Moscow airport in June 2013 while trying to
flee to Latin America, where several countries had offered him permanent refuge.
Russia waited for more than a month before granting him a one-year temporary
asylum permit, which expired Friday.
US Senate passes $225 million in emergency funding for
Israel's Iron Dome 1 Aug 2014 The
Senate overwhelmingly approved an emergency measure early Friday that could give
225 million in additional revenue to Israel for the country's Iron Dome missile
defense system. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) received unanimous
consent from his colleagues Friday morning when he asked them to consider
approving the measure, The Hill reported. An attempt
one day earlier by the Senate to approve funding for the system had failed.
Next, the House of Representatives will be tasked with weighing the request,
which if passed will put nearly a quarter of a billion dollars towards Israel's
missile defense system as that country continues its campaign against Hamas in Gaza City. [Too

US tax dollars at work: Scientist who studied at Manchester University killed in
Israeli shell attack on UN car in Gaza 1 Aug 2014 A scientist who studied at Manchester University has been
killed after the UN car he was in was hit during an Israeli military assault on
Gaza. Dr Bashir al-Hajjar died alongside his younger brother Muneer during the
strike in Beer al-Naja in the north of the region. They were travelling in a
marked United Nations Relief and Works Agency car when shells landed in front of
it and on its bonnet. Relatives told the M.E.N. how Dr al-Hajjar, a father-of-one, died instantly
-- while Muneer, who worked for the UN, lived for six minutes as he begged rescuers to help his
brother and not him. Muneer's eight-year-old son, also in the
vehicle, survived but has been left with serious leg injuries.
Obama on CIA's post-9/11 tactics: 'We tortured some
folks' 1 Aug 2014 President Barack
Obama made a rare acknowledgment during a Friday press briefing concerning the
United States past use of enhanced interrogation tactics in the wake of the
September 11 terrorist attacks. "In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we did some
things that were wrong. We did a whole lot of things that were right, but we
tortured some folks. We did things that were contrary to our values," Pres.
Obama said near the end of a nearly hour-long press briefing at the White House
in Washington, DC. [Right, Obama cut a deal to pardon key war criminals
in the Bush regime, in exchange for keeping most of Bush's polices to benefit
Wall Street. This was accomplished by ensuring the filibuster rule didn't change
in the Senate, so the GOP could easily block any and all progressive
legislation. --LRP]
2 US Ebola victims to arrive at metro Atlanta military
base 1 Aug 2014 Federal officials
say two American aid workers who contracted Ebola in Africa will be flown into a
metro Atlanta military base. The Pentagon's press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John
Kirby, said today that a private-chartered aircraft will be arriving at Dobbins
Air Reserve Base with patients evacuated from Africa. The patients will then be
taken to medical facilities. Kirby says officials in the U.S. State Department
asked the military to provide an airfield for the arrival.

Operation' --U.S.
State Department and CDC evacuating Ebola patients by Legitgov 1 Aug

U.S. warns against traveling to Ebola-hit
countries 31 July 2014 U.S. health
officials on Thursday warned Americans not to travel to the three West African
countries hit by an outbreak of Ebola. The travel advisory applies to
nonessential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, where the deadly
disease has killed more than 700 people this year...Thursday's alert is the
highest-level.
Ohio's 4th-largest city: Don't drink the
water 2 Aug 2014 Toxins possibly
from algae on Lake Erie fouled the water supply of the state's fourth-largest
city Saturday, forcing officials to issue warnings not to drink the water and
the governor to declare a state of emergency as worried residents descended on
stores, quickly clearing shelves of bottled water. The city advised about
400,000 residents in Toledo, most of its suburbs and a few areas in southeastern
Michigan not to brush their teeth with or boil the water because that would only
increase the toxin's concentration. Toledo issued the warning just after
midnight after tests at one treatment plant showed two sample readings for
microsystin above the standard for consumption.
