Red Cross ‘Civil War’ designation opens Assad to possible war crimes charges ~ link ~ Once again the power and money of the global banksters comes into play, this time with the International Committee of the Red Cross. They have ruled that the fighting in Syria is a ‘civil war’ and considering the lies told by the “opposition” is just one more burden on the Syrian government. The reality is, that this is NOT a ‘civil war’ but a war of conquest using paid mercenaries by NATO/Israel/GCC states. Stirling
The International Committee of the Red Cross now says the ongoing violence in Syria is a civil war, a designation that opens President Bashar al-Assad and his opponents to potential war crimes charges and underscores the deteriorating conditions in a country at the heart of the tinderbox Middle East.
The statement on Sunday came as fierce fighting broke out in Damascus and United Nations officials began a new round of diplomacy aimed at Mr. al-Assad’s powerful allies, Russia and China.
‘Civil War’ Declared in Syria, Globalists’ Formula for WWIII Begins ~ link ~ The Syrian opposition is doing a fine job as directed by the CIA. The connection between these “rebels” and the US government is uncanny. Mainstream media has downplayed the Western intervention into the Syrian conflict, referring to them as “pro-democracy campaigners” without admitting their political agendas or ties.
The same champions of former President G.W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq are cheering on the sidelines, waiting for Obama’s unconstitutional declaration of war in Syria.

North Korean military chief removed from all posts ~ link ~ Illness???
North Korea’s army chief has been relieved of all his posts due to illness, state media said Monday, in a surprise development that removes one of new leader Kim Jong-Un’s inner circle.
Ri Yong-Ho is regarded as one of the key figures who has helped support the young, untested leader in the transition following the death in December of his father Kim Jong-Il, the longtime dictator of the reclusive state.
War Is Betrayal ~ link ~ Good One! Stirling
We condition the poor and the working class to go to war. We promise them honor, status, glory, and adventure. We promise boys they will become men. We hold these promises up against the dead-end jobs of small-town life, the financial dislocations, credit card debt, bad marriages, lack of health insurance, and dread of unemployment. The military is the call of the Sirens, the enticement that has for generations seduced young Americans working in fast food restaurants or behind the counters of Walmarts to fight and die for war profiteers and elites.
The poor embrace the military because every other cul-de-sac in their lives breaks their spirit and their dignity. Pick up Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front or James Jones’s From Here to Eternity. Read Henry IV. Turn to the Iliad. The allure of combat is a trap, a ploy, an old, dirty game of deception in which the powerful, who do not go to war, promise a mirage to those who do.

Scotland’s ‘explosive’ push to secede from the United Kingdom ~ link ~ London is always going on about how the current Scottish Parliament is only a regional parliament operating under UK delegated legislation. While that is true, it is also true that upon passing the Treaty of Union, in 1707, the Scottish Parliament also known as the Three Estates, went into technical adjournment. It did NOT dissolve. Now the term Three Estates meant different things at different times during the long history of a sovereign Scottish nation. At one time it was the nobles, bishops/abbots, and rural representatives, later the peerage, feudal barons, and rural representatives. Later still, it was the Scots Peerage, rural representatives and urban representatives. This last incarnation of the fully sovereign Three Estates, the sovereign Scots Parliament, can be easily reconstituted by simply adding the members of the Scots Peerage to the existing M.S.P.s (representatives of the counties and burgs) in the current regional Scottish Parliament. This would be the first sitting of the fully sovereign Scots Parliament in almost 300 years and that Parliament, the reconstituted ancient Three Estates, could succeed from the United Kingdom upon the basis of a referendum vote (or on its own initiative) and organize a free Scottish nation outside of the United Kingdom. Should this happen? It is the people of Scotland who will decide! Stirling
But why now?
Last May, Salmond’s Scottish National Party won 69 of Parliament’s 129 seats. It was “a thumping, astonishing victory” when you consider there are five parties in the system, Massie says, and the seemingly clear and overwhelming mandate made a referendum on independence “inevitable.” Indeed, it makes perfect sense that this would be happening now, says Heather Horn at The Atlantic. Europe is in the grip of a painful economic crisis, and “nationalism surges as economies stagnate.”
So is this the end of the union?
Not necessarily. A referendum is bound to be “explosive,” says Anna Tomforde at Monsters and Critics. And its success or failure could depend on many variables — such as whether it’s a yes-or-no vote on full independence, or a multi-question ballot with a middle-ground option maintaining an element of unity. Despite Salmond’s popularity, polls suggest most Scots don’t actually support full independence. Thirty-five percent want to be a completely separate nation, while 55 percent remain opposed. So the government in London, which at first insisted that British Parliament would have to OK any vote, is now pushing for a referendum as soon as possible, says Agence France Presse, so Salmond won’t have time to win over a majority.
Romney and Obama – Evil vs Evil ~ link ~ Both are total whores owned by the globalists and Zionists. They do not and will not serve the interests of the American people. Stirling
I have heard the expression “the lesser of two evils” more times than I care to count in the last couple of months. So will it be Mitt Romney or Barack Obama? Which is the lesser of two evils? It is bad enough that we have been reduced to this question, but to add insult to injury, the ad campaigns are not designed to portray their candidate as a better person and manager than the other candidate. The campaigns instead are no more than about showing just how lowdown dirty and diabolical the other guy is.
Hence, “Vote for Barack Obama because he is not as evil as Mitt Romney” or vice versa. So is this what we are going to settle for? Shall we sit down, pad and paper in hand, and listen to every Mitt Romney ad and list every evil aspect and act of treason committed by Obama? And then take a day watching Obama ads noting every aspect and act of treason committed by Mitt Romney? I guess this is voting made simple as all we have to do is make a count and vote for the one with the least entries on our score sheet.
I ask you again, is this what it has come to?

“The Hostile Takeover” of the United States by Corporate America and the plutocrats is now well advanced and brazen. Corporations and their CEOs have achieved unprecedented power. Of the world’s 100 largest economies, 51 are now global corporations. And they have created a different world.
A 2005 Citigroup report to its investors advised: “the World is dividing into two blocks — the Plutonomy and the rest.” [Plutonomy is defined as a country where economic growth is powered by and largely consumed by the wealthy few, a condition now associated with the United States.]

These 12 Hellholes are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon ~ link ~ Do you want to see where this country is headed? If so, don’t focus on the few areas that are still very prosperous. New York City has Wall Street, Washington D.C. has the federal government and Silicon Valley has Google and Facebook. Those are the exceptions. The reality is that most of the country has been experiencing a slow decline for a very long time and once thriving cities such as Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan have become absolute hellholes. They are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon. 60 years ago, most Americans were decent, hard working people and there were always good jobs available for anyone that was willing to roll up his or her sleeves and put in an honest day of work. But now all of that has changed. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of manufacturing facilities have shut down and millions of jobs have left the country. Cities such as Cleveland, Baltimore and Detroit were once shining examples of everything that was right about America, but now they stand out like festering sores. The “blue collar cities” have been hit the hardest by the gutting of our economic infrastructure. There are many communities in America today where it seems like all of the hope and all of the life have been sucked right out of them. You can see it in the eyes of the people. The good times are gone permanently and they know it. Unfortunately, the remainder of the country will soon be experiencing the despair that those communities are feeling.
The following are 12 hellholes that are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon….

Prescription drugs’ “side effects” are especially dangerous for the elderly ~ link ~ Big Pharma and its bought-and-paid-for political whores/enablers DON’T CARE. Stirling
We live in a world full of drugs whose primary objective is to relieve symptoms instead of heal. Most of these drugs come with side effects, some of which may be quite dangerous. That is especially true when it comes to drugs prescribed for the elderly who are the largest consumers of prescription and over the counter drugs.
When waiting to see a doctor, it is common to share the waiting room with prescription drug salespeople with suitcases full of the latest “drugs of choice.” Too many doctors get their drug education from these salespeople who often have no medical background. The end result is that when we go to the doctor, whether to address a specific condition or for a routine check-up, more often than not, we come out of the office with one or more prescriptions.
Prescribing medications to treat several health conditions can actually result in side effects that can make problems worse. A side effect doesn’t necessarily have to make itself known when first taking a medication. There is a greater chance of experiencing side effects the longer a drug is taken.

Monsanto linked to coup that ousted Paraguayan president ~ link ~ The political system in Paraguay is undergoing some major turmoil right now following the forced impeachment of former President Fernando Lugo, a “left-of-center” politician democratically voted into office by the people of Paraguay back in 2008. And among those who initiated and brought about this controversial coup was multinational biotechnology giant Monsanto, which was apparently threatened by Lugo’s resistance against the company’s genetically-modified (GM) crop agenda.
For years, Paraguay’s government has been dominated by so-called “right-wing” politicians that have served the interests of the country’s local oligarchy, as well as the interests of the U.S. embassy and transnational corporations that have established a powerful stronghold in the country. Among these corporate influences was Monsanto, which over the years has converted much of Paraguay’s arable land into plantations that grow GM crops.
