Dr.Kevin Barrett: New World Order kills Democracy in Egypt!

On Sunday, the Egyptian army and police slaughtered 51 unarmed, praying protestors. The victims were part of a crowd praying outside the Republican National Guard headquarters in Cairo, where President Morsi, assuming he is still alive, is being held. President Morsi is the first democratically elected head of state in Egypt's 5,000 year history. The way things are going, he could also be the last. The army's demolition of democracy, and its massacre of peaceful, unarmed protestors, seem likely to spark a civil war in Egypt. And civil wars do not end in democracy. Why would Egypt's fascist military leaders and the deep state they represent want civil war? The Egyptian deep state consists of comprador billionaires and a corrupt military elite that lives on US aid. These people take orders from the global powers that be, the Bilderbergers, the Rothschilds, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and their bought and paid for politicians. So if Egypt's military has decided to massacre peaceful protestors at prayer, you can be sure that they are doing so as part of a larger strategy formulated by the globalists. To understand that strategy, we must listen to the paid mouthpieces of the New World Order, and interpret their words. Two of the New World Order's biggest megaphones are the editorialists of the Wall Street Journal, and interpret their words. Two of the New World Order's biggest megaphones are the editorialists of the Wall Street Journal, and Thomas Friedman of The New York Times. Last Friday, the Wall Street Journal ordered Egypt's junta to follow in the footsteps of Pinochet's Chile: Egyptians would be lucky if their new ruling generals turn out to be in the mold of Chile's Augusto Pinochet, who took over power amid chaos but hired free-market reformers and midwifed a transition to democracy. Pinochet was one of the worst butchers of the 20th century. After overthrowing and murdering democratically elected President Allende in a CIA sponsored coup on September 11th, 1971, Pinochet's goons filled football stadiums full of people, tortured them and massacred them. So The Wall Street Journal wants Egypt's junta to kill Morsi, just like Pinochet killed Allende, and employ widespread torture and mass murder. All in the name of democracy. When the Egyptian junta decided to massacre the protesters outside Morsi's prison, they were following the orders of the New World Order oligarchy, the people who own The Wall Street Journal and dictate its output. Why do the Wall Street Journal's owners want Egypt's junta to massacre Muslim leaders and destroy political Islam in Egypt, in the same way that the CIA's Pinochet massacred socialist leaders and destroyed socialism in Chile? Let's ask Thomas Friedman, the New World Order's leading middlebrow mouthpiece.

Editor Jim Fetzer: The Debate over 9/11 Truth:

Dick Eastman vs. Jim Fetzer. Dick Eastman and I are going to have a public debate over whether or not the Twin Towers were hit by Boeing 767s, which he claims is true but I deny. It will be held on The Mike Harris Show on Thursday, 18 July 2013, from 3-5 PM CT on the Rense Radio Network. So those who care about these issues may want to join us. It will be a two hour program with the time to speak allocated impartially between us about a crucial bone of contention regarding 9/11. As the founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, it has been my fate to receive attacks from all sides, including the thermite sniffers, Steve Jones, Kevin Ryan, and their allies, but also by the plane huggers, including Anthony Lawson, and Dick Eastman, not to mention the members of the Judy Wood alliance, which displays the features that are characteristic of a cult. I am not claiming they are a formal cult, but behave as though they were, by having the mentality of those who are locked into a feeling of certainty, will tolerate no criticism and blindly follow their leader. The first group, the thermite sniffers, has been defeated by a series of articles co-authored with T. Mark Hightower, a chemical engineer, Has nano-thermite been oversold to the 9/11 Truth community? Is 9/11 Truth based upon a false theory? and Nanothermite: If it doesn't fit, you must acquit, which has been complemented by new research supporting the conclusion that the Twin Towers were destroyed by means of mini or micro nukes, including 9/11 Truth will out: The Vancouver Hearings II, Mini-Neutron Bombs: A Major Piece of the 9/11 Puzzle, and Mystery Solved: The WTC was Nuked on 9/11. The situation with the Wood's cult, which includes the dogma of DEWS, the sacred text, Where did the Towers Go?, a mystical leader Judy Wood herself, and a praetorian guard that viciously attacks anyone who questions those views, as 3,000 attacks on me for an originally 5-star review, now downgraded to 3 stars following The Vancouver Hearings, vividly displays, is more complex. While we disagree about how the Twin Towers were destroyed, key members of this group, including Judy Wood and Morgan Reynolds, agree with me that no Big Boeings-757s at Shanksville and the Pentagon, 767s at the North and South Towers crashed on 9/11, which makes them allies on this aspect of 9/11, which makes them allies on this aspect of 9/11. Morgan was the first to make a public splash about no planes when he appeared on FOX NEWS 2008, which appears to have been a set up to discredit him when the anchor brings up the idea of no planes, given the videos the rest of us saw, as though any of us who deny that Boeing 757s and 767s crashed on 9/11 had not seen them. He did what he could on that show: More important, Morgan published a piece by Joe Keith, who was a software engineer who designed the on the ground shaker system for Boeing, who points out that the videos show the plane passing through its whole length into the building!   

Jonas E. Alexis: God and the Intellectuals!

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak, as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries. Agnostic Astronomer Robert Jastrow. During the early part of the twentieth century, one popular movement among philosophers was logical positivism, which limited truth to what could be empirically verified by the five senses or experience. At its core, the movement sought to deconstruct revelation, chiefly theological assertions, or anything else that appeared to be beyond the five senses. If something cannot be verified by the five senses, logical positivists dismissed them as meaningless. Over the course of more than a decade, logical positivists launched their ideas with great energy and passion, willing to crush anyone who stood in their way. Yet the movement could not gain much intellectual ground because its founding principle was self-defeating. After all, can the proposition "any statement that cannot be empirically verified is meaningless" itself be empirically verified? No. It is an axiomatic proposition, nothing less, nothing more. In the end, logical positivism ceased to carry any intellectual weight and quietly slipped out of academia, although it continued to impact many people.

Of course, the verification principle was later modified by people like Sir A J Ayer in Language, Truth, and Logic, but that modification itself was fraught with logical inconsistency. Ayer, who was largely responsible for spreading the gospel of logical positivism in England, asserted in 1936 that a proposition is said to be verifiable, in the strong sense of the term, if, and only if, its truth could be conclusively established by experience. Yet this bold proposition fails to pass its own test. Ayer seems to have foreseen the implication of the statement, and moves on to declare that if we adopt conclusive verifiability as our criterion of significance, as some positivists have proposed, our argument will prove too much.

Jim W. Dean: Zionist Link to Egyptian Army Exposed!

Israel warns US against Egypt aid cut. Israel has always kept its close coordination with Egypt's military low key, even though the Camp David Accords required some obvious interaction. But on the other hand, the Israelis have actually defaulted on them as their own archives show they never had any intention of fulfilling any plans for a Palestinian peace. They figured they could always negotiate indefinitely, or not, and blame that on the Palestinians. No political entity in America would ever challenge them on their bad faith. But their going public supporting the US subsidy to the Egyptian army was totally unnecessary. It was not needed, since the Obama administration had already worked out a way to avoid cutting off aid through the interim government being set up right away with a call for early elections. But the Israelis would never do something like this for no reason, and that reason would never be for anyone else's benefit but theirs. So I must assume that they wanted to taint the Egyptian military as pro Israeli to stoke the probability of more Muslim Brotherhood violence against them to crank up another Syrian style blood letting and destabilization. The Israeli regime has reportedly warned Washington against cutting military aid to Egypt in response to the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi by the African country's army. Israeli officials repeatedly asked senior American officials not to halt the USD 1.3 billion in aid, the US administration gives to Egypt every year, Israeli daily Haaretz said on Tuesday, citing an unnamed American official. The paper said that marathon phone calls about the recent development in Egypt took place between Israeli and American officials over the weekend. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State John Kerry, while Minister of Military Affairs Moshe Ya'alon spoke with US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The calls were aimed at coordinating US and Israel position on Egypt following the overthrow of Morsi's government, the American official said. The Tel Aviv regime warned that the US aid cut would likely have negative impacts on Israel's security, particularly its peace treaty with Egypt. The American official also told the daily that the Tel Aviv regime as worried that the US government would suspend the annual military aid. The paper added that Israel might ask the US administration to find a way to continue supplying aid to Egypt. Under the US law, the government has to suspend foreign aid to any country whose elected leader is toppled in a coup. Obama has so far stopped short of describing the events in Egypt as a coup. White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday that the US administration would not stop providing military aid to Egypt as it was still reviewing whether or not to label Morsi's ouster a coup.

Veterans Today: VA Grants Will Expand Transportation in Highly Rural Areas!

Veterans to Have Easier Access to Health Care. Veterans will have improved access to health care under a Department of Veterans Affairs initiative that supports new transportation services for those living in highly rural areas. VA began accepting applications this month for grants to help state Veterans Service Agencies and Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) operate or contract for transportation services to transport Veterans to VA medical centers and other facilities that provide VA care. A new regulation establishes the program that will administer these grants. Transportation will be provided at no cost to Veterans. VA wants to be sure that all Veterans, including those who live in rural and remote areas, can receive the health care they have earned through service to our country, said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. State Veterans Agencies and VSOs will now be able to employ innovative approaches to transportation services for Veterans in our highly rural areas. The end results will include better service and better health care for Veterans. VSOs and State Veterans Service Agencies may apply for grants up to $50,000 to fund transportation of Veterans to and from VA medical centers and other facilities that provide VA care. If specified in the application, the services may be provided under agreements with contractors, such as private bus or van companies. A highly rural area is defined as a country or counties with a population of fewer than seven persons per square mile. Many highly rural areas are found in the western and southwestern United States, but at least half of the states have at least one highly rural area. One of Secretary Shinseki's top three priorities is increasing access to VA care and services for Veterans wherever they live. VA is expanding access in a three pronged effort that includes facilities, programs and technology. Veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan are eligible for an extended period of eligibility for 5 years after they have left the service. For more information, please see the Federal Register.

Corina Notyce: Five Stratcies for Finding Peace in the Turbulence of Caregiving!

As a caregiver for her husband with traumatic brain injury, Rosemary Rawlins shares insights garnered through her own experiences along with insights garnered through her own experiences along with insights from other caregivers and family members in her blog, Learning by Accident, on Brain Line. In this blog post, Rosemary shares five strategies to help you, the caregiver, rest, relax and recharge while caring for someone you love with TBI. The human brain takes a long time to heal after trauma, and so it follows that caring for a loved one with brain injury can feel like an eternity. On top of that, outcomes from traumatic brain injury are hardly unpredictable. Odd symptoms come and go, personalities, roles, and relationships change, and stress can mount with each passing day. How can a caregiver tap into a sense of peace along the way? Here are a few strategiesthat worked for me, when I had the sense and presence of mind to use them! Accept not knowing. Accept what you know for what it is, and realize that you cannot change what already happened. You cannot accurately predict what already happened. You cannot accurately predict what may happened. You cannot accurately predict what may happen. But you can draw strength and breathe life into today by accepting it as it is without judgment. Create your own sacred space. A special chair, a sun porch, or a window seat can be the place you visit when you need to catch your breath. Keep a few favorite items near that space: a sacred statue, your own personal amulets, a framed quote or prayer that soothes you, or even worry beads or a stress ball to grip when you feel combustible. Sometimes, you may need to leave a volatile situation, just walk away, but try not to stomp and visit your safe space. Returning there again and again can direct your thoughts, spiritually, and guide you when you feel a deep sense of anger, anxiety or grief. Carve out small bits of time to revive. Make it a daily practice to use whatever small amounts of time you can find during the day to dedicate to yourself. When Hugh was exhausted after his rehab visits, he usually came home, ate and fell asleep for a while. I would go out on the back door and sit in the sun, read or just take in the spring air and breathe. Using these small windows of time to listen to music, read poetry, stretch or listen to music, read poetry, stretch or listen to a guided imagery tape for relaxation will give you the energy you need to continue on. Discover your mantra. The words we tell ourselves have incredible power over our moods and behavior. Find the words that calm you and repeat them to yourself throughout the daywhen you feel anger, fear or frustration spinning out of control. I often said the serenity prayer in my mind. It seems to cover all the bases for TBI care-giving! Some lyrics work well too, something short and sweet you can say over and over to yourself instead of the litany of defeat that replays in your mind. Here are two short lyric mantras that might work as well: Let it be, by the Beatles, and All will be well, the Gabe Dixon Band. And don't forget Norman Vincent Peale's sage advice: Change your thoughts and you change the world. 

Syria Invites U.N. Chemical Arms Chief, But Access Is In Doubt

The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad invited chief U.N. chemical weapons investigator Ake Sellstrom to Damascus to discuss allegations of banned arms use in Syria’s civil war but suggested it would not compromise on access.
Syrian U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari told reporters that U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane was also invited to Syria for talks about the U.N. chemical investigation.
So far Sellstrom’s team has not been active on Syrian territory because Assad’s government is only willing to allow it access to the city of Aleppo, where both sides have accused the other of using chemical weapons, Reuters reports.
“We are sure that Ms Kane and Dr Sellstrom will have constructive negotiations with the Syrian officials in order to reach an agreement, a mutual agreement on the terms of reference, mechanism and time frame of the mission,” he said.
Ja’afari said if they accept, the U.N. officials will be meeting with the Syrian foreign minister and national experts.
The Syrian envoy also made a fresh allegation against the rebels, suggesting they were stockpiling toxic chemicals.
“The Syrian authorities have discovered yesterday in the city of Banias 281 barrels filled with dangerous, hazardous chemical materials,” he said, adding that the chemicals were “capable of destroying a whole city, if not the whole country.”
Ja’afari said an investigation of the chemicals – which included monoethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol and were found at a storage site he said was linked to the “armed terrorist groups” – was still underway.
The Syrian government has denied using chemical weapons. It has in turn accused rebels of deploying them in the two-year civil war that the United Nations says has killed over 90,000 people since March 2011. The rebels deny responsibility for any chemical attacks.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged Syria to give Sellstrom unfettered access to investigate all alleged chemical arms incidents. But Assad’s government only wants the U.N. team to probe an incident in Aleppo from March, not others the U.S., Britain and France have written to Ban about. U.N. officials say U.N.-Syria negotiations on access have reached a deadlock.
Ja’afari was asked if the invitation to Sellstrom and Kane meant that Syria would consider allowing the U.N. team to go beyond Aleppo. He indicated that his government would not permit that, saying: “No, you wouldn’t jump to this conclusion.”
WRANGLING OVER ACCESS
Ban’s spokesman Martin Nesirky did not say whether the U.N. investigators would accept the invitation, which he described as “a move in the right direction.” He said the Syrian government needed to grant Sellstrom’s team broad access across Syria “without further delay and without conditions.”
Sellstrom’s team has been ready for well over two months to enter Syria but has been held up by the wrangling over access.
They recently visited neighboring to try to gather information. Acting U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Rosemary DiCarlo told reporters Sellstrom was in Washington on Monday for discussions with U.S. officials.
Ja’afari repeated Syria’s allegation that accusations of chemical attacks by government forces were an attempt to undermine their initial request for a U.N. investigation focusing solely on the Aleppo incident from March.
One senior Western diplomat said last month that Britain and the United States alone have notified Ban of 10 separate incidents of the use of chemical weapons by Assad’s forces. France has also said its own tests of samples from inside Syria proved Assad’s forces have used the nerve agent sarin.
Sellstrom is expected to deliver an interim report this month. U.N. envoys say it may just be oral and will likely be inconclusive since it is impossible for him to make definite pronouncements about the chain of custody of the samples he has received from Britain, France and the United States.
Syria is one of seven countries that has not joined the 1997 convention banning chemical weapons. Western nations believe it has caches of undeclared mustard gas, sarin and VX nerve agents.
