Quantum Theory Proves That Time Does Not Exist
Quantum Theory and non-locality goes something like this; Take two particles, A and B (photons or electrons for example). Pair them, then separate them, and put them on either side of the planet. Stimulate particle A, and particle B will react without any time delay.

International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The war between the Ukraine
government and the republics of Novorossiya [New Russia] is gradually taking on
the character of a positional stand-off. The resources of both sides are
exhausted, and fighting reserves are at an end. For the people’s republics,
defending themselves against the many times larger military forces of the Kiev
regime, the well-known principle of “a government needs to win, but for an
insurrection it is enough not to lose” operates with full force.
The
deteriorating economic situation in Ukraine, the growing demoralisation of
supporters of the Kiev regime and the gradual development of a partisan
movement on government-controlled territory together herald a new phase in a
civil war that will clearly extend far beyond the boundaries of the south-east.

"Smuggling humanitarian aid in" indeed.
Sadly though the motivation seems very obvious- it is the least that the Russian government could do. And they did it.

Global Post, the employer of freelancer James Foley, fails to pass smell test - Wayne Madsen
Global Post, the employer of freelancer James Foley, fails to pass smell test
National news media operations based in Boston are almost like musicals that run "off Broadway."
We can add Global Post to the off-Broadway journalistic hit parade. Global Post is the Boston-based website that employed freelance photo journalist James Foley in Syria, recently beheaded by his Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) guerrillas in Iraq, appears to be a subsidized operation with an agenda that matches up nicely with that of international hedge fund tycoon George Soros.
National media operations not based in New York or Washington, DC are usually subsidized by interests with agendas. One Boston-based media operation that has a clear agenda is The Christian Science Monitor, a church-owned operation, which has become increasingly neo-conservative in its coverage since it scrapped its print edition and became an exclusively web-based operation. The other Boston-based national media operation is CAMERA - the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America -- which serves as the Israel Lobby's often rabid media watchdog.
Foley, who was kidnapped on November 22, 2012 in northern Syria, near Idlib, by Syrian guerrillas who were not members of ISIL for the simple reason that ISIL did not yet exist. Foley was originally captured by an Islamist group that took its orders from the Central Intelligence Agency-organized and trained Free Syrian Army (FSA), whose leaders led their "army" not from the battlefield but from posh Istanbul hotel suites paid for by the Turkish, Saudi, and Qatari governments.
In early 2013, ISIL took over the rebel group holding Foley and other kidnap victims. Foley, like other journalists, was offered up for ransom by ISIL, which is now said to have some 4000 members who are Europeans, Australians, North Americans, and even a few Japanese, who have no Muslim or Middle Eastern familial backgrounds. In fact, the British citizen who beheaded Foley on video is said to go by the first name of "John," which is certainly not a Muslim name.
Ransom payments for kidnap victims like Foley have turned into a big business for ISIL and other terrorist groups. France, Italy, and Spain have paid large ransom amounts for its nationals taken hostage in Syria, West Africa, and Somalia. It is stated U.S. and British policy not to pay ransoms for hostages, however, as witnessed in the Iran-contra scandal, the U.S. is known to have traded arms to Iran for the release of hostages held by Shi'a groups in Lebanon.
In the case of Foley, ISIL had been in email communication with his family and Global Post to work out a ransom deal. However, ISIL said it beheaded Foley in retaliation for U.S. air strikes against ISIL guerrillas who were advancing toward the Kurdish capital of Erbil in northern Iraq.
There are reports that ISIL has even purchased kidnapped Westerners from other groups as far afield as Kashmir, Somalia, and Yemen in order to trade them for cash. Al Qaeda's reputed leader, Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri, is said to have called for Islamist groups to seize Western hostages in return for freeing Islamists held in prisons around the world.
The focus on Global Post yields some interesting connections. Foley had previously covered other U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Foley was always embedded with U.S. troops, as was the case in Iraq and Afghanistan, or U.S.-supported militias in Libya and Syria. During the 2011 CIA-initiated Libyan rebellion against Muammar Qaddafi's government, Foley was taken captive by Qaddafi army loyalists and held for 44 days. Foley preferred being embedded with those fighting on the side of the United States rather than cover wars from different perspectives. Such wartime journalism would lead some believe that Foley was performing non-journalistic tasks on U.S.-created battlefields, that is, espionage.
President Obama interrupted his summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard to condemn Foley's beheading. Obama also phoned Foley's parents who live in New Hampshire. Subsequently, it was reported officially that U.S. Special Forces had attempted a rescue mission in Syria to free Foley and other American hostages but it failed. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that normally such operations would not be revealed but that in the case of Foley an exception had been made because the information on the failed rescue operation had already been "leaked" to the press. One could ask why an administration that is intent on putting some journalists in prison for publishing leaks of classified information would make such an exception, itself involving classified special forces operations, for Foley?
There has long been a debate within the U.S. intelligence community as to whether it is proper to use intelligence agents operating abroad under journalistic cover. Past administrations, including those of Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, banned the use of journalists and missionaries by the CIA. Others, including the Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush administrations were not so adamant against the use of journalists as spies. The Obama administration's leeway given to the CIA for all sorts of operations previously prohibited or inhibited opens the door for journalists, once again, being used as agents in hot spots like Syria, Libya, and Iraq.
Which brings us back to Global Post. The media operation has not been around long. It was initiated on January 12, 2009, a week before the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, by two Boston businessmen, Charles Sennott and Philip Balboni. The new website claimed it was going to "redefine international news for the digital age." Originally charging an annual subscription of $199 a year, Global Post cut its annual rate to $30 a year, which has been WMR's unchanged annual subscription rate since 2005. However, Global Post's subscribers' base only stood at around 400. Yet, Global Post could boast of 65 worldwide correspondents, albeit, many of whom, like Foley, were freelancers. But how does an on-line media with subscribers only in the hundreds manage to finance reporters in war zones like Syria and Libya while maintaining a worldwide network of correspondents?
Global Post, with its lackluster business revenues, was able to cut syndication agreements with the Public Broadcasting System (sometimes mockingly referred to as the "Pentagon Broadcasting System"), the Sumner Redstone-owned CBS, and the Mort Zuckerman-owned New York Daily News. Oddly, just two years after its start-up, Global Post had garnered Peabody, Polk, and Edward R. Murrow awards for its "On Location" video coverage. Clearly, someone wanted to increase Global Post's street credentials through an "award washing" campaign.
Owned by Global News Enterprises, LLC and headquartered on Boston's affluent waterfront, Global Post's board of directors and management includes those who have had only a glancing encounter with actual journalism: former cable television executives, a former chairman of C-SPAN, a former member of the board of The Boston Globe, a former publisher of The Boston Globe, an assistant to the CEO of the Hearst Corporation, a public relations flack for PBS, and a board member of the Boston public television station WGBH.
But even more suspicious is the presence on the staff of Global Post of two former editors for The Cambodia Daily, a CIA-connected publication officially owned by Cambodian orphanage "aficionado" Bernard Krisher; a former senior correspondent for the CIA- and Soros-linked Radio Free Europe in Prague; a graduate of the CIA-linked Sasin Business Institute in Bangkok; a former Boston Globe Jerusalem bureau chief, a former editor for the CIA-connected Tico Times of Costa Rica, and a former editor for the hard-neocon publication The Atlantic. Global Post's team of international correspondents are steeped in neocon credentials, from The Daily Beast and Kyiv Post to The New Republic and The Daily Telegraph.
While the White House and journalists mourn the death of Foley, it is important to point out that his photo reporting seldom departed from the confines of U.S. military units or irregular rebel forces supported by the CIA. It is tragic that one of those CIA rebel forces ultimately would subject Foley to a gruesome videotaped beheading. However, as much blame for that rests with those who supported the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, individuals like CIA director John Brennan and national security adviser Susan Rice, as with the rebel executioners themselves.

Why Israel Lies - Chris Hedges
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/why_israel_lies_20140803
This is the indubitable, irrefutable, indisputable, incontestable Chris Hedges, and this is about the most extraordinary thing he has ever published:
But Israel engages in the kinds of jaw-dropping lies that characterize despotic and totalitarian regimes. It does not deform the truth; it inverts it. It routinely paints a picture for the outside world that is diametrically opposed to reality. And all of us reporters who have covered the occupied territories have run into Israel’s Alice-in-Wonderland narratives, which we dutifully insert into our stories—required under the rules of American journalism—although we know they are untrue.

May 6-7, 2014 -- Vice is not nice and rivals the "Beast"
Vice Magazine, the on-line "news" site
founded in 1994 in Montreal as the print edition "Voice of Montreal,"
has become a major influential media outlet. But the on-line magazine
also appears to be doing the bidding of Western governments in aiming
its fury at Russia, North Korea, and other countries that are receiving
full barrages from the neo-conservative propaganda industry.
That Vice would be tied to neo-con propaganda efforts comes as no surprise. In 2013, News Corporation's Rupert Murdoch acquired a 5 percent stake in Vice.
As examples of Vice's commitment to seriousness, it broadcasts a "news" show on HBO. The executive producer is a comedian, Bill Maher. The show's consultant is none other than New World Order poster boy Fareed Zakaria.
In its zeal to carry Washington's and the neocons' water, Vice is starting to edge out the Obama sycophants at The Daily Beast in trying to prove which is the better media prostitute.

The War of Ideas in the Middle East
Jane Harman, media mogul
Well this is confusing. Newsweek/Daily Beast was co-owned by Barry Diller and Harman’s late husband. Sidney Harman died in April 2011 at 92. This obit in the Times said that his estate was assuming his ownership share, but no individual was named.
The Daily Beast
February 18-19, 2014 -- The Daily Beast outed as an NSA information warfare assetThe National Security Agency, according to a February 18 article in The Intercept by Glenn Greenwald and Ryan Gallagher, used an article in The Daily Beast
as a reference point for a NSA TOP SECRET//SI//TK//NOFORN Intellipedia
database entry titled "Manhunting Timeline 2010." The database entry
refers to the international manhunt, which included NSA assets, for
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange came to prominence after
70,000 classified documents on the war in Afghanistan were leaked to the
media.
The NSA's use of The Daily Beast as a reference within a classified database is unusual. It is, in fact, rare for NSA to use open source references to bolster classified intelligence reports for two reasons: the not invented here syndrome and the fear that mixing classified and unclassified open source information will diminish the security attached to the classified portions of such reports.
The NSA information, culled from The Daily Beast article of August 10, 2010, stated that the United States urged other nations with forces in Afghanistan to consider filing criminal charges against Assange as a way of focusing national power upon "non-state actor Assange, and the human network that supports WikiLeaks." Essentially, The Daily Beast provided the straw man arguments for the NSA to claim the legal authority to urge two of its "Second Party" or FIVE EYES allies, Britain and Australia, to prosecute Assange, with "Third Party" NSA partner, Germany, also joining in the prosecution.
The Daily Beast, along with the National Security Affairs department at the U.S. Naval War College, was at the forefront of a vicious attack campaign launched against the WMR editor after he was quoted on the front page of June 29, 2013 edition of The Observer of the UK on NSA's Third Party signals intelligence relationships in Europe. The Observer, in response to a coordinated attack by The Daily Beast, which provided three of its reporters -- John Avlon, Joshua Rogin, and Michael C, Moynihan -- to CNN's Reliable Sources program to perpetuate the attack which began on Twitter.
The Observer and The Guardian not only pulled WMR's editor's quote from their web pages but The Observer yanked its print edition from circulation.
The revelation that The Daily Beast is used within NSA's classified Intellipedia system as a primary reference source calls into question the independence of the on-line publication and points to its possible links The Daily Beast has to the U.S. and UK Intelligence Communities. The Daily Beast was once owned by Newsweek but as a result of mergers and corporate shedding it is now owned by IAC, the firm owned by Hollywood mogul Barry Diller.
The Daily Beast was founded by publisher Tina Brown, who is married to former Sunday Times of London editor Sir Harold Evans, who is believed by many intelligence agency scholars to be a longtime cipher for Britain's MI-6 (Secret Intelligence Service). MI-6 and NSA's British partner, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), both report to the Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. During his time as editor of The Sunday Times, Evans reportedly permitted MI-6 agents to drafts of the newspapers articles before publication, particularly those that dealt with British intelligence defector to the Soviet Union Kim Philby. Evans was also known to employ known MI6 agents as Times's journalists, including one John Sackur.
As for The Observer caving to pressure from The Daily Beast, there should be no surprise. The Observer is owned by The Guardian's parent company, Guardian Media Group. The Guardian's editor, Alan Rusbridger, agreed to destroy computer hard drives containing copies of files from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The Guardian has long toed the British Liberal Democratic Party line. At the time of the attack on WMR's editor, the Liberal Democrats were a coalition partner of the British Conservative Party government of Prime Minister David Cameron. Today, The Guardian continues to advance the Western and George Soros-influenced propaganda memes of Britain and the United States. For example, it has no problem with Venezuela's CIA- and MI6-directed opposition using the same photograph (below left) on Twitter purportedly showing Venezuelan police attacking a woman that was also published by The Guardian in December 2011 showing Egyptian police beating the very same woman (below right).
When it comes to advancing Western capitalist propaganda, The Guardian, The Observer, and The Daily Beast all serve the same masters at Fort Meade, Maryland and Cheltenham, England, the latter the location of GCHQ headquarters.

The Observer, in response to a coordinated attack by The Daily Beast, which provided three of its reporters -- John Avlon, Joshua Rogin, and Michael C, Moynihan -- to CNN's Reliable Sources program to perpetuate the attack which began on Twitter.
The Observer and The Guardian not only pulled WMR's editor's quote from their web pages but The Observer yanked its print edition from circulation.
The revelation that The Daily Beast is used within NSA's classified Intellipedia system as a primary reference source calls into question the independence of the on-line publication and points to its possible links The Daily Beast has to the U.S. and UK Intelligence Communities. The Daily Beast was once owned by Newsweek but as a result of mergers and corporate shedding it is now owned by IAC, the firm owned by Hollywood mogul Barry Diller.
The Daily Beast was founded by publisher Tina Brown, who is married to former Sunday Times of London editor Sir Harold Evans, who is believed by many intelligence agency scholars to be a longtime cipher for Britain's MI-6 (Secret Intelligence Service). MI-6 and NSA's British partner, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), both report to the Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. During his time as editor of The Sunday Times, Evans reportedly permitted MI-6 agents to drafts of the newspapers articles before publication, particularly those that dealt with British intelligence defector to the Soviet Union Kim Philby. Evans was also known to employ known MI6 agents as Times's journalists, including one John Sackur.
As for The Observer caving to pressure from The Daily Beast, there should be no surprise. The Observer is owned by The Guardian's parent company, Guardian Media Group. The Guardian's editor, Alan Rusbridger, agreed to destroy computer hard drives containing copies of files from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The Guardian has long toed the British Liberal Democratic Party line. At the time of the attack on WMR's editor, the Liberal Democrats were a coalition partner of the British Conservative Party government of Prime Minister David Cameron. Today, The Guardian continues to advance the Western and George Soros-influenced propaganda memes of Britain and the United States. For example, it has no problem with Venezuela's CIA- and MI6-directed opposition using the same photograph (below left) on Twitter purportedly showing Venezuelan police attacking a woman that was also published by The Guardian in December 2011 showing Egyptian police beating the very same woman (below right).
When it comes to advancing Western capitalist propaganda, The Guardian, The Observer, and The Daily Beast all serve the same masters at Fort Meade, Maryland and Cheltenham, England, the latter the location of GCHQ headquarters.

The New Great Game in Eurasia never ceases to thrill with extreme plot twists. The Big Three players remain the same: the US, Russia and China. The devil is in the concentric subplots.
In Washington, the deep state Russia ‘policy’ has revealed itself to be sanctions, sanctions, sanctions; because of Crimea, because of support for federalists in Eastern Ukraine, because of the MH17 tragedy.

MH17: Another Israeli Cover Up?
http://journal-neo.org/2014/07/29/mh17-another-israeli-cover-up/
The
latest disaster, one that has scrubbed Israel’s bizarre onslaught into
Gaza off newspaper front pages, 298 dead, can be nothing but more than
yet another cover up operation. Every news asset, every politico known
to be a creature of the Israeli/organized crime nexus, has weighed in.
Their every lie tells one story; “Israel did it.”

The facts tell another story, one of
false flag terrorism. If only McCain and Tony Abbot, if only Fox and
CNN, the Huffington Post and, worst of all, accused Israeli spy, Jane
Harmon’s Daily Beast:
“Why would Putin want to shoot down a
commercial airliner? And if it was an accident, why would Putin allow
the separatists to have a weapon this powerful without having full
control over how it was used?”
You couldn’t scream “Israel did it” any
louder. It is almost embarrassing. There is nothing innocent about these
utterly fabricated stories, particularly when the truth, a very
different truth, is out there as well, substantiated, validated and
verified.

new order of the barbarians
http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/html/new_order_of_barbarians.html
The New Order of Barbarians is the transcript of three tapes of reminiscences made by Dr Lawrence Dunegan, of a speech given on March 20, 1969 by Dr Richard Day (1905-89), an insider of the "Order," recorded by Randy Engel in 1988. Dr Dunegan claims he attended a medical meeting on March 20, 1969 where Dr Richard Day (who died in 1989 but at the time was Professor of Paediatrics at Mount Sinai Medical School in New York and was previously the Medical Director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America) give "off the record" remarks during an addressed at the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society to a meeting of students and health professionals, who were destined to be leaders in medicine and health care.

Israel has granted a U.S. company the first license to explore for oil and gas in the occupied Golan Heights, John Reed of the Financial Times reports.
A local subsidiary of the New York-listed company Genie Energy — which is advised by former vice president Dick Cheney and whose shareholders include Jacob Rothschild and Rupert Murdoch — will now have exclusive rights to a 153-square mile radius in the southern part of the Golan Heights.

The truth is America funds terror groups in order to topple regimes to put in more favorable presidencies.
Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t.
The American government funded Al-Qaeda in Libya to overthrow Gaddafi.
The American government funded Ukranian rebel groups to take over the sale of natural gas to europe. (Thanks Victoria Nuland)
Hillary Clinton fought to keep Boko Haram off the terror list because we fund them AND Al-Shabab.

New Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Takes on Pro-Russia Separatists, but Critics Worry About Growing Power of Oligarchs

vowed to defend the country.

DNIPROPETROVSK, Ukraine—Leaning over a map of eastern Ukraine on his desk,
Gennady Korban
gripped a ballpoint pen and drew a squiggling blue line down its center.
The
border, he said, marked the battlefront in his country's war with
pro-Russia separatists. One side was stable, rid of "troublemakers," he
said. On the other are "maniacs," he said. "Men without families, who
don't want families, they just like war." If they cross over the line,
he said, "we'll just have to kill them."

BEIRUT: Hezbollah’s deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem vowed to continue fighting against a takfiri terrorism scheme that he said was orchestrated by the U.S. and Israel.
“We, as Hezbollah, have only one direction: the resistance on the basis of Islam and jihad for the sake of God,” Qassem said in remarks published Monday. “We have set the compass and the needle points toward Israel. ... We are fighting one scheme, which is the American-Israeli takfiri scheme."
Lebanon “is in the line of fire and is affected by what goes on around it,” Qassem warned. “Those who talk about distancing and neutralizing Lebanon ... are speaking [words] of emptiness.”
“We, as Hezbollah, have said from day one that what began in Syria under the title ‘reforms’ was an Arab-Western takfiri scheme to destroy Syria in favor of Israel's interest,” he said.

MH17: Killing Innocent Civilians in Order to Save Fascism for Ukraine and NATO Expansionism
http://vladimirsuchan.blogspot.com.br/2014/07/mh17-killing-innocent-civilians-in.html?spref=fb
A fuller version of what happened starts emerging piece by piece. First, as I pointed out earlier, in one his daily battle reports, Strelkov or his associates indicated as if in passing that the Malaysian airliner, Boeing 777, was shot down by Ukrainian jet fighters. Then came the briefing by the Russian Ministry of Defense, which showed a Ukrainian SU-25 within 3-5 km from the Boeing at the very moment when the Boeing was hit. In the next four minutes, the Ukrainian fighter remained in the area. At the moment, when the Boeing was hit, it was also within the range of several Ukrainian Buk batteries, which were deployed close to Donetsk and then, just for that very day, 8km south of Shakhterskoye, which is also only several miles from the crash site.

Was MH17 Sabotaged By Israeli Security Team At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport?
http://www.4thmedia.org/2014/07/was-mh17-sabotaged-by-an-israeli-security-team-at-amsterdam-schiphol-airport/#.U9EF6lcajPc.facebook
As the only non-European journalist
to cover The Hague inquiry into the Amsterdam crash of El Al flight
1862 (October 1992), which destroyed a Biljmeer district apartment
complex, I discovered many aspects of the Israeli security set-up at
Schipol International Airport and the role of the Mossad intelligence
agency in secret operations there, one of Europe’s business transport
hubs.
This same airport spy Network is very likely involved in the recent crash of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 over the Ukraine.
I examined it, found it ridiculous. And I've been through Schiphol a time or two myself. Points to consider fully, then ridicule - 1) Shimatsu admits he is baised in favor of Kiev govt. How can you take seriously anyone who for any reason supports those nazis? 2) He proposes the Kiev govt conduct the investigation into MH17. Don't make me laugh! 3) His list of Israeli motives don't even make sense. 4) His only stated qualification for commenting on MH17 is his being "The only non-European journalist" to cover a different plane crash 22 years ago. That speaks for itself. 5) This pedestrian attempt at misdirection ignores all the REAL evidence that has come to light and instead promotes utterly unsubstantiated speculation that also leave open the "anti-semetic" rebuttal. 6) "The only way for ground troops to identify a plane is by coded radar response from its transponder signal." Or a decent pair of binoculars. 7) Israel's "drone army of mini-robots" WTF? 8) rense.com. Nuff sed.

Presidents and a Columnist
There’s
nothing like the hypocritical narcissism of the elite neoliberal
Democrat. It’s something to see. First he elegantly embraces and advance
“free market” doctrine that distributes wealth and power upward while
spreading misery amongst the populace and destroying the Earth. Then he
wants to be accorded progressive and humanitarian points when you preen
with concern over the predictable terrible social and/or environmental
toll that neoliberal policy takes. In classic narcissistic fashion, the
elite Democratic neoliberal dissociates from the pain he inflicts,
wrapping himself in Teflon as he feigns disapproval with the outcomes of
the agenda he helped take forward. It’s always those evil crazy
Republicans’ fault, of course.

ISIS Post PR Photos They Took With John McCain

Remember when Senator John McCain went to Syria and met with factions of rebels fighting the Assad regime?
As it turns out, the group that he was meeting with was a particular subset of rebels in Syria, who we now know as ISIS.
That’s right, the very same terrorist group ISIS which is carrying out ruthless acts of terror and crime in Iraq as we speak, was who McCain was meeting with in Syria.
When the Arizona senator got back from his trip to Syria, he said…
“It was a very moving experience to meet these fighters who have been struggling now for over two years,” McCain said on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360”.
“And they’re very aware of the battlefield situation” the Arizona senator continued, “and they’re very disturbed about the dramatic influx of Hezbollah fighters, more Iranians, and of course, stepped-up activities of Bashar Assad.”

“And they’re very aware of the battlefield situation” the Arizona senator continued, “and they’re very disturbed about the dramatic influx of Hezbollah fighters, more Iranians, and of course, stepped-up activities of Bashar Assad.”

Social Security - It’s Complicated!
http://schneider-wealth.com/blog/ReadArticle.asp?id=215
In
my experience, a sound retirement plan consists of three essential
pieces: an advanced tax plan (ATP), an income plan, and an investment
plan. While the investment plan should be the nucleus, proper income and
tax plans are critical and are often overlooked.

Noam Chomsky: The Kind of Anarchism I Believe in, and What's Wrong with Libertarians
http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/noam-chomsky-kind-anarchism-i-believe-and-whats-wrong-libertarians?paging=off¤t_page=1#bookmark
oam Chomsky:Well, anarchism is, in my view, basically a kind of tendency in human thought which shows up in different forms in different circumstances, and has some leading characteristics. Primarily it is a tendency that is suspicious and skeptical of domination, authority, and hierarchy. It seeks structures of hierarchy and domination in human life over the whole range, extending from, say, patriarchal families to, say, imperial systems, and it asks whether those systems are justified. It assumes that the burden of proof for anyone in a position of power and authority lies on them. Their authority is not self-justifying. They have to give a reason for it, a justification. And if they can’t justify that authority and power and control, which is the usual case, then the authority ought to be dismantled and replaced by something more free and just. And, as I understand it, anarchy is just that tendency. It takes different forms at different times.
Anarcho-syndicalism is a particular variety of anarchism which was concerned primarily, though not solely, but primarily with control over work, over the work place, over production. It took for granted that working people ought to control their own work, its conditions, [that] they ought to control the enterprises in which they work, along with communities, so they should be associated with one another in free associations, and … democracy of that kind should be the foundational elements of a more general free society. And then, you know, ideas are worked out about how exactly that should manifest itself, but I think that is the core of anarcho-syndicalist thinking. I mean it’s not at all the general image that you described — people running around the streets, you know, breaking store windows — but [anarcho-syndicalism] is a conception of a very organized society, but organized from below by direct participation at every level, with as little control and domination as is feasible, maybe none.

NEW DELHI: Israel
stood out amidst the congratulations pouring in for Prime
Minister-designate Narendra Modi from world leaders (Read: The World
Welcomes Modi, World Page) across the globe with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu being amongst the first to wish the BJP leader on
his electoral success. Modi has reportedly assured Israel that he will
be the first Indian premier to visit Jerusalem, according to the
Israeli media.
Narendra Modi and the rise of India’s neo-fascist Far-Right: The facts
http://www.loonwatch.com/2014/04/narendra-modi-and-the-rise-of-indias-neo-fascist-far-right-the-facts/
Narendra Modi is campaigning as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (“BJP”). Due to ongoing geopolitical events elsewhere, the implications of Modi’s impending rise to power have received comparatively little media publicity outside South Asia, especially in the West. This is despite the fact that nuclear-armed, 1.2 billion-population India is currently undergoing a political and cultural takeover by that country’s version of the Far-Right, if the claims of Modi’s opponents and critics are accurate.

Israel’s incremental genocide in the Gaza ghetto
http://electronicintifada.net/content/israels-incremental-genocide-gaza-ghetto/13562
In a September 2006 article for The Electronic Intifada, I defined the Israeli policy towards the Gaza Strip as an incremental genocide.
Israel’s present assault on Gaza alas indicates that this policy continues unabated. The term is important since it appropriately locates Israel’s barbaric action — then and now — within a wider historical context.
