It was most important to have 'made in the USSR' written [on the missile]," Putin said at the Valday discussion forum on Thursday. The Russian president pointed out that the August 21st attack in Damascus was not the first time chemical weapons had been used in Syria-1961. The bombs fell to earth after a B-52 bomber broke up in mid-air, and one of the devices behaved precisely as a nuclear weapon was designed to behave in warfare: its parachute opened, its trigger mechanisms engaged, and only one low voltage switch prevented untold carnage Syrian armed opposition may be ordered by its foreign sponsors to stage a false flag operation against foreign inspectors when they arrive in the country to monitor destruction of the country's chemical weapons stockpile, says the Syrian president.

One mad can't do anything about it. Something like that has to be taken to all mods and admin. And also, if you complain about personal attacks, make sure you yourself are not doing what you complain about-typical behavior of certain sets of children, most prolific liars will often be the first to charge others as liars. Some will carry it into adulthood, who frequently use the personal attack, will often charge others with such behavior.

92513/Sometimes, a sea change takes place in the minds of the public, elected officials and media pundits. Long overdue, that seems to be underway now with regard to the American prison system and the war on drugs. For decades, politicians competed to see who could be tougher on crime, who was more in favor of locking up the most people for the longest stretches, and the public and media, for the most part, cheered them on. Now even Attorney General Eric Holder has called mass incarceration a moral and economic failure. What happened?-tiresome efforts of Ted Cruz and his fellow Republicans to block the Affordable Care Act are still dragging on, what Truthout's Williams Rivers Pitt called a "dismal spoon fed press clown show- Ecuador's president has launched a call for people around the world to boycott Chevron products, in rejection of the company's evasion of responsibility for oil contamination in the Amazon basin.-about indigenous people being forced by global corporate forces and governments to leave Mexico to survive and about activists who are resisting inhuman and toxic mining practices in an excerpt from The Right to Stay Home: How US Policy Drives Migration. to/Half Ounce of Pot Gets Louisiana Man 20 Years in Prison-Climate Deniers Threaten the Lives of Our Children The future of the Earth belongs to our children.

This news was released at precisely 2 p.m. in Washington "as measured by the national atomic clock." It takes seven milliseconds for this information to get to Chicago. However, several huge orders that were based on the Fed's decision were placed on Chicago exchanges two to three milliseconds after 2 p.m. How did this happen? CNBC has the story here, and the answer is: We don't know. Reporters get the Fed release early, but they get it in a secure room and aren't permitted to communicate with the outside world until precisely 2 p.m. Still, maybe someone figured out a way to game the embargo. It would certainly be worth a ton of money. Investigations are ongoing, Also read: Is High-Speed Trading the Next Wall Street Disaster? In the meantime, there's another useful lesson out of the whole episode. It is the reality of how much trading activity, particularly of the ultra high frequency variety is really a dead weight loss for society, There is a role in [capital] markets for traders whose work is more speculative…But when taken to its logical extremes, such as computers exploiting five millisecond advantages in the transfer of market moving information, it's much less clear that society gains anything, In the high frequency trading business, billions of dollars are spent on high speed lines, programming talent, and advanced computers by funds looking to capitalize, Did anyone happen to notice an extra neutrino flux in the upper Midwest corridor at 2 p.m. last Wednesday?

Their clock may be as much as 4 milliseconds slow-really sick of the broad argument among economists that whatever new intentionally-complicated way the financial industry has invented to bilk investors out of their money actually has some sort of "canary in a coal mine" type of benefit to society-someone leaked the news in advance, and Chicago traders punched a button and the presets kicked off the trading shift at 1:00:00.000 CDT. somebody noticed.

Not just what most liberals think of when we consider right wing resentment, resentment of women and racial minorities gaining power, the more abstract right wing resentment that, while not as prominent as the racism/sexism, is still a major driving force in the culture wars: The resentment and envy of “cool”. To be clear, this kind of resentment is everywhere in American culture—witness the relentless attacks and bile poured out over the fact that “hipsters” exist and seem to actually enjoy their lives, which is apparently high treason in the country, but this kind of grumpy resentment envy finds its purest expression on the right. the message is clear: Conservatives know liberals are cooler, and they really, really resent that. No matter how much they clutch their DVDs of “Duck Dynasty” to their chests and insist that tasteless, sex-negative mediocrity is where it’s at, they aren’t convincing outsiders, and not really convincing themselves. Which is where Ted Cruz steps in. It’s clear that he thinks he’s on the same path as Obama: single term Senator who, in a whirlwind of excitement, runs a legendary campaign into the Oval Office. I bet he even falls asleep dreaming of the inspired young artist who will give him icon status like Obama has, Needless to say, he’s delusional, because this kind of energy, as the poster indicates, is only driven by hope, and conservatism is, particularly in recent years, an ideology focused on stripping hope away. But no one ever said the wingnut envy was a rational emotion, Now this fake filibuster. It’s not particularly hard to see that Cruz is hoping that what worked for Wendy Davis will work for him. Pretty much every male right winger in Texas wakes up and falls asleep muttering “that bitch, that bitch, who does she think she is, oh she thinks she’s so hot, but I’m just gonna call her ‘Abortion Barbie’ that’ll wipe that smile off her too pretty face, that bitch, because she had the gall to remind the country what total assholes right wing Texans are, and did it while looking fabulous the entire time. The chance that Cruz is not part of this obsessive anger circle jerk is somewhere between 0% and .01%, and the fact that all the degrees in the world can’t buy you the kind of casual charisma of a Barack Obama or a Wendy Davis has got to chap his hide. Cruz, You’re No Wendy Davis- more an issue of identity politics with complicated questions of authenticity and sincerity at it's heart. For conservatives, hipsters are hippies reborn. They wear weird clothes, they listen to weird music, they're liberal, they're politically socially engaged, they're urban yet nature loving, they're indifferent to wealth... Reflexively hating on all things young is part of being a conservative, but hipsters let them fall back on their hippie-hating ways which brings an extra serving of joy-GOP lacks originality except when it comes to making the ordinary citizens life uncomfortable. What I've noticed in the past 10 years is that the GOP sees something/someone who that can fire up the liberal base and they say, "hey, I bet that can work for us too." The Democratic Party brought both Obama and Hillary to the presidential campaign stage and the GOP gave Americans minorities also.....Michael Steele and Sarah Palin. That worked so well for them eh? For the 2008 run, we kept Obama and they gave us an embarrassing mishmash but hey! More minorities in the form of Pizza man and Crazy eyes.

He knows it, we know it, and any comparison of his word vomiting marathon, and her genuine filibuster is laughable.-This should prove to even the most delusioned that the Republicans have NO desire to fix anything and would rather the country burn than give Obama anything other than grief-Democrat question stumps Ted Cruz during faux filibuster-McCaskill: The moral of ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ was lost on Ted Cruz-Gohmert: ‘Amnesty’ and Obamacare are a plot for ‘firing every fulltime American-FBI releases video of Navy Yard shooter before he began his attack rawstory/dallas zoo gorilla problem abc/ Conservatives are plain batshit crazy-that includes all their "conservative" supporters here.
