Devastating Explosion At West, Texas Fertilizer Plant Kills Up To 15 And Injures More Than 100
18 Apr 2013 10:07 am John Hawkins

Last night about 8:00 PM, there was a fire at a West, Texas fertilizer plant that was followed by a massive explosion that was heard 50 miles away. The violent explosion, which registered at 2.1 on the Richter scale, decimated buildings within a five block radius of the plant. Initial reports put the death toll at more than 160, but the number of confirmed deaths are now thought to be much smaller, in the 5-15 range with more than 100 injured. Unfortunately, 6 firefighters and 2 paramedics who were on …

North Korea Declares State Of War; How Serious Are They?
30 Mar 2013 8:18 am William Teach

Should we be concerned by North Korea’s provocation?
(Reuters) North Korea said on Saturday it was entering a “state of war” with South Korea, its latest bout of angry rhetoric directed at Seoul and Washington, but the South brushed off the statement as little more than tough talk.
The North also threatened to shut down an industrial zone it operates jointly with the South near the heavily armed border between the two sides if Seoul continued to say the complex was being kept running for money.
The two Koreas have been technically in …

Amsterdam To Force “Troublemakers” To Live In Ghettos
6 Dec 2012 9:58 am John Hawkins

I don’t think “the Nazis did it” is an adequate reason not to do something (They had a military, so we better not build a military!), but when you pull something out of the more troubling half of Hitler’s playbook, it should raise a few eyebrows.
The authorities in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, plan to move persistent nuisance neighbours into container homes for six months or more.
They have set aside 1m euros (£800,000; $1.3m) for the scheme, whereby special hit squads will identify offenders.
These will then be housed in the caravan-style …

Obama’s Reset World
10 Oct 2012 4:59 pm Michael Fell

According to Yevgeny Fyodorov, the head of the Committee on Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship of the Russian State Duma, the U.S. is slowly but surely losing unchallenged global economic and political power.
Fyodorov said that: “… but in reality it is the key event in today’s global scenario. With the onset of the global economic crisis, with political and economic turbulence, the APEC is a key event in terms of the demonstration of new vectors of unity of the international community outside the United States.
It is clear that it is not …

MSNBC Continues to Push ‘Nothing to See Here’ Narrative About Libya Debacle
3 Oct 2012 4:34 pm Matt Vespa

In the October 1 broadcast of NewsNation with Tamron Hall, a segment featuring former State Department Middle East officer Joel Rubin focused on how the Romney campaign was “trying to put all of these things in a big pot hoping that something picks up steam” concerning President Obama’s foreign policy. Yep, it’s still the same game with some in the media – which is to trivialize what can hurt the president to prevent it from becoming news.
Rubin said of Romney and his team that they were throwing a lot of …

PBS Anchor Gwen Ifill Touts Pro-Obama Polls, Dismisses Mideast Violence As a ‘Dust Up’
22 Sep 2012 12:14 am Matt Vespa

On the September 19 broadcast of the PBS Newshour, anchor Gwen Ifill discussed the latest polls with Pew’s Andrew Kohut and Mark Blumenthal, “senior polling analyst” of The Huffington Post. Her talk about voter engagement and enthusiasm got a little hazy – if not completely insensitive – when she referred to last week’s embassy attacks as a “dust up.”
Perhaps “dust up” in her mind only refers to the liberal media’s insular discussions about foreign-policy developments, but could she sound more cavalier about the deaths of Americans in Libya?

GWEN IFILL: Do these …

Explosion at state-run Amuay refinery in Venezuela, nationalized in 1976
25 Aug 2012 1:00 pm Wintery Knight

In the United States, we’ve been seeing some efforts by the Marxist Obama administration to nationalize the auto industry and health care, too. This is what communists favor as the alternative to the free-market system. It makes sense, then, to look at how well the nationalization of assets, especially those owned by private companies, works out in the real world.
Let’s see:
The Creole Petroleum Corporation was an American oil company, formed in 1920 to produce fields on Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela.[1] The company was acquired by Standard Oil of New Jerseyin 1928. Until 1951 Creole Petroleum was the …

The Age Old Power Struggle: Chapter 2012
25 Jun 2012 5:58 pm Michael Fell

A Muslim cleric introduced Egypt’s new President, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi by saying: Our Capital ‘shall be Jerusalem, Allahwilling’. For his part, Morsi pronounced: Abroad women are ‘free,’ but not here.
These types of proclamations do not bode well for Egyptian minorities, which includes members of the Coptic Church community, who make up about 10 per cent of Egypt’s population. Despite Morsi campaign spokesman Gehad el-Haddad’s assurances that Morsi would work to be “president for all Egyptians”, Coptics worry how Morsi’s election might result in a restriction of their personal …

19 Jun 2012 6:23 am Michael Fell

Israel issued warnings over security problems with Egypt. Militants from the Sinai Peninsula crossed over into southern Israel Monday and fired on a border security fence, killing one Israeli. The IDF moved tanks and otherarmed forces to the Israel-Egypt border in response to the attack. Egypt is on the offensive against Israel.
Egypt’s presidential election results lean towards victory for Mohammed Morsi, the radical Islamist Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Thanks at least in part to vocal White House support for the “Arab Spring”, which ushered the Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt’s presidency, Egypt …

Shocking Similarities Concealed
3 Jun 2012 7:14 pm Michael Fell

In a televised address to parliament, President Bashar Assad said foreign-backed terrorists and extremists were to blame for the massacres going on in Syria. Despite suspicions expressed by the UN that Assad’s forces are responsible for the Houla massacre, Assad denied it. Syrian opposition condemned his comments as lies.
Assad described protestors as paid killers, ridiculing freedom demonstrators as people not truly looking for reform. The opposition is seeking reform in a country where expressing dissent often leads directly to arrest and torture. They contend that Assad has offered nothing but …

Bad News for Globalists
24 May 2012 5:13 pm Michael Fell

European business activity fell in May, nearing a 35-month low, according to a survey by Markit. Its survey, based on European manufacturing and service sectors, fell to 45.9. The euro fell to a 22-month low against the dollar in response. Disagreement at Wednesday’s summit between European leaders about how to solve the dilemma did nothing to boost confidence.
Chris Williamson, chief economist for Markit, said research indicated the downturn had “gathered further momentum in May. The survey is broadly consistent with gross domestic product falling by at least 0.5% across the …

CIA and MI6 furious that Obama administration blew British agent’s cover
16 May 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

From Investors Business Daily.
Excerpt:
Here’s a disturbing update to last week’s amazing story about the U.S. mole who infiltrated al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and thwarted an airliner attack with a more sophisticated underwear bomb.
Someone in Washington whose boss stood to gain from an election year story about alert intelligence operatives successfully protecting American voters at great personal risk leaked the heroic story to the Associated Press. The AP held the story until Obama administration sources said the CIA operative was safe.
But, it turns out, the mole was not a CIA operative. The Obama …

US Administration Renews Push to Ratify Law of Sea Treaty
12 May 2012 12:01 am Michael Fell

The Obama administration has initiated a renewed push to convince the U.S. Senate to approve the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea treaty. Administration officials claim approval of the pact is necessary to protect the U.S. Navy’s right to carry out exercises off the coast of China. In the past Chinese ships have harassed U.S. vessels.
The administration’s push to approve the treaty comes at a time of increased focus by the Pentagon on China’s military buildup and the expansion of its influence in the Asia-Pacific region. The Pentagon is …

Obama administration abandons Chinese pro-life activist Chen Guangcheng
4 May 2012 12:49 pm Wintery Knight

Life Site News writes about a pro-life activist in communist China who asked for help from the American government and was betrayed by them.
Excerpt:
Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, who has suffered years of imprisonment and beatings for objecting to forced abortions and sterilizations in his native country, thought he could find shelter and friendship in the United States embassy following his recent escape from house arrest. He is now learning the hard way that the pro-abortion Obama administration, which helps to finance the same “one-child policy” that Chen is fighting, would rather see …

Obama’s plan to be more “flexible” on defense policy after the election
27 Mar 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

CNS News reports on a shocking conversation between Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
Excerpt:
President Barack Obama told Russia’s leader Monday that he would have more flexibility after the November election to deal with the contentious issue of missile defense, a candid assessment of political reality that was picked up by a microphone without either leader apparently knowing.
Outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said he would pass on Obama’s message to his successor, Vladimir Putin, according to an audio recording of comments the two leaders made during a meeting in Seoul, South Korea. …

Obama administration refused to help pro-democracy forces in Iran
29 Feb 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

From Investors Business Daily.
Excerpt:
During their brutally suppressed protests in 2009, Iranian freedom fighters sent the White House an urgent memo calling for help. Under Obama, America ignored it.
‘So now, at this pivotal point in time, it is up to the countries of the free world to make up their mind,” Iranian opposition leaders told the Obama administration in an eight-page memo in 2009. “Will they continue on the track of wishful thinking and push every decision to the future until it is too late, or will they reward the brave people …

British government “has run out of money”
28 Feb 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

From the UK Telegraph.
Excerpt:

In a stark warning ahead of next month’s Budget, the Chancellor said there was little the Coalition could do to stimulate the economy.

Mr Osborne made it clear that due to the parlous state of the public finances the best hope for economic growth was to encourage businesses to flourish and hire more workers.

“The British Government has run out of money because all the money was spent in the good years,” the Chancellor said. “The money and the investment and the jobs need to come from the private sector.”

UK doctors filmed agreeing to perform illegal sex-selection abortions
24 Feb 2012 10:00 am Wintery Knight

Consider this article from the UK Telegraph.
Excerpt:
Doctors at British clinics have been secretly filmed agreeing to terminate foetuses purely because they are either male or female. Clinicians admitted they were prepared to falsify paperwork to arrange the abortions even though it is illegal to conduct such “sex-selection” procedures.
[...]The disclosures will add to growing concerns about the regulation of abortion clinics and the apparent ability of women to secure terminations “on demand”.

The Daily Telegraph carried out an investigation into sex-selection abortions after concerns were raised that the procedures were becoming increasingly common …

Iran condemns former Muslim pastor to death
23 Feb 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

Here’s an article from Fox News about Iran’s prosecution of a former Muslim.
Excerpt:
Germany’s top human rights official is urging Iran to release a pastor sentenced to death for converting to Christianity.
Markus Loening said Wednesday the German government is extremely concerned about Yusuf Naderkhani’s fate amid reports of his imminent execution.
Loening urged Tehran to “release Naderkhani, lift his death sentence and grant him a fair trial.”
