On Sunday, the Elysée Palace released a statement from President François Hollande declaring that French fighter jets had bombed targets inside Syria. Initial media reports suggested that the targets were training camps of Islamic State (IS) militia near Raqqa, and that the strikes were an extension of the bombing campaign launched by the NATO powers, including France, against IS targets in neighboring Iraq. Six Mirage-2000 jets based in Jordan and six Rafale jets based in the United Arab Emirates reportedly carried out the attacks

Peace in Yemen will continue to be elusive unless the United Nations shifts its mission from sponsoring an inter-Yemeni dialogue to mediating ceasefire negotiations between the actual warring parties, namely Saudi Arabia & allies and the de facto representatives of Yemenis who are fighting to defend their country’s territorial integrity and independent free will, i.e. the Huthi - Saleh & allies

Trillions of US dollars generated by QEs from the 2008 recession funded development of Asian countries. Its homecoming time for the US dollars and the Republican & Democratic cheerleaders are lined up with the guns. Will it be Trump? Not a chance as he is just the clown brought in for entertainment. Or will it be Jeb Bush? Excellent choice as many of the GOP contenders will drop out before the 2016 Cleveland convention. The 2016 Democratic convention will be held in Philadelphia. Will it be Hillary Clinton? She is another excellent choice. Both have Israel's blessings which could mean even bigger trouble for Shias and Sunnis getting engaged in a civil war accruing to the benefit of US, UK, France, Russia and China lined up to sell their military hard wares and realising economic gains

The only person Henry Kissinger flattered more than President Richard Nixon was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. In the early 1970s, the Shah, sitting atop an enormous reserve of increasingly expensive oil and a key figure in Nixon and Kissinger's move into the Middle East, wanted to be dealt with as a serious person. He expected his country to be treated with the same respect Washington showed other key Cold War allies like West Germany and Great Britain. As Nixon's national security adviser and, after 1973, secretary of state, Kissinger's job was to pump up the Shah, to make him feel like he truly was the “king of kings.”


Workers Abroad: The Repatriation Problem 
By Mateo Pimentel

Generally speaking, a good deal of the research performed on expatriating workers does not entail the repatriation phase of their international assignment, or “reentry.”How communication technologies effect this particular phase receive seven less attention .Many international firms fund the research related to this topic, which is perhaps the most significant reason for it having been conducted.Nevertheless, firms do not always consider the repatriation phase of sojourning workers (reentry) to be critical to their business after the fact


The Demise Of God 
By Sourav Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee280915.htm

Pained by the acute feeling of having been abandoned in a precarious worldand in search of meaning, direction, and purpose,the need to believe far exceeds the need to expose spiritual debauchery and profligacy. Therefore the human gods will only sprout in ever increasing frequency till the existing theology and its modus operandi are vehemently challenged, not as a theoretical construct, but as a life practice
