Thousands of political prisoners languish in America's gulag. It's by far the world's largest. It's one of the most ruthless.
Injustice is longstanding US policy. Political targets are guilty by accusation. Long prison terms are commonplace. Rogue states operate this way. America is by far the worst.
Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko is one of many innocent victims. Obama's Justice Department claimed:
He's "an aircraft pilot and aviation expert who transported thousand-kilogram quantities of cocaine throughout South America, Africa, and Europe."
"In his capacity as a pilot and businessman, (he) agreed to supply the aircraft, pilots, and crew that were to be used for shipments of cocaine from South America to Liberia, as well as from Liberia to other locations within West Africa."
He "understood that from Liberia, portions of this cocaine would subsequently be imported into the United States."

NYT policy is consistent. It's longstanding. It's deplorable. It's opposite of what readers deserve.
All news and opinions Times editors call fit to print aren't fit to read. Editorial policy endorses establishment values.
Truth and full disclosure are prohibited. They're sacrificed on the alter of wealth, power and privilege. Wrong over right is supported. Scoundrels get feature op-ed space.
Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz al Saud is Saudi Arabia's UK ambassador. He's a royal House of Saud member.
He's part of one of the world's most repressive regimes. Last December, Times editors gave him featured op-ed space.
He took full advantage. His notion of peaceful conflict resolution is preventing it. He wants Syria's government forcefully toppled.

Have you ever watched any of the Alien series on TV? Lost Girl, Being Human and Bitten are all Canadian based supernatural “original’ scripts. [1] Lost Girl is about humanoids called "Fae" who clandestinely live among and feed on us humans. The Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry participated in the production with Canada and Ontario Film Tax Credits.
Why do I emphasize the Canadian connection? Because former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer, who had access to highly classified information during the height of the cold war, has very recently (February 3, 2014) put himself in the spotlight by speaking about extraterrestrials on Russia Today’s program SophieCo. You can be sure Hellyer is a disinformation agent because he is telling Sophie’s viewers that the aliens are sitting around a STAR-bucks on their planet wondering why “we humans fight each other and spend our money with these exotic thermonuclear weapons and atomic weapons, instead of feeding the poor and looking after the homeless and the sick.”
But, remember there is information in dis-information. When Hellyer declares “[I’ve] been getting from various sources [that] there are about 80 different species and some of them look just like us and they could walk down the street and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one,” I realize he’s talking about what I refer to as the Sandy Hook Conspiracy Paradox.
As with most conspiracies, the problem with believing a Sandy Hook type of conspiracy is that we don’t have any cognitive frames of reference or explanations to understand them.
The Sandy Hook massacre, allegedly the worst school shooting in U.S. history, was staged by FEMA with crisis actors and made to look like a joint government-media operation false flag event. Furthermore, Adam Lanza, a scrawny, socially awkward 20-year old mind controlled patsy, could not have shot 20 innocent children (and 6 adults) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in less than 5 minutes, with an assault rifle (still in the trunk of his car) and handguns that his cheerful, self-reliant mother purchased for self-defense and target shooting, because (I repeat, he could not have shot anyone anywhere on December 14) because, according to the Social Security Death index, Lanza died the day before on December 13.
Our rational brains are trying to hold two thoughts that can't be resolved. Although it's statistically improbable that all of the anomalies and inconsistencies surrounding Sandy Hook are just a series of chance occurrences; at the same time, a belief in a conspiracy involving the CIA, FBI, police departments in two cities, the coroners office, crisis actors, FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Newtown Bee, is a Paradox because someone would have come forward and buzzed the real truth about what really happened.
“80 different species and some of them look just like us” is the key to solving the paradox.
All of the people involved in Sandy Hook: the CIA, FBI, police departments in two cities, the coroners office, crisis actors, FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Newtown Bee, are a species of aliens, and “some of them look just like us,” that live in an alternate reality that we can't see or understand because we don’t have the right sunglasses.

Ongoing street violence isn’t happenstance. It didn’t erupt spontaneously. Dark forces planned it. On Friday it continued. More on this below.
Washington's dirty hands are involved. Longstanding US plans call for regime change.
Obama deplores democracy. He tolerates none at home or abroad. He wants Bolivarianism crushed. He wants social justice ended.
He wants pro-Western puppet governance replacing sovereign Venezuelan independence. He wants control of Venezuela's vast oil reserves.
On Thursday, President Nicolas Maduro blamed fascists for stoking violence. "The violent events on Wednesday had only one political intention," he said.
Anti-Bolivarian extremists "want to defeat a legitimate government, protected by legitimacy and constitutionality."

Syrians genuinely want peace. Washington wants regime change. SNC stooges represent US interests.
In January, talks convened in Geneva. Round one failed. So did round two. On February 14, UN/Arab League Syrian envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said:
"Failure is always staring us in the face. As far as the United Nations is concerned, we will certainly not leave one stone unturned if there is a possibility to move forward."
How can there be when Syrians have no legitimate peace partner? Opposition delegates want transitional government discussed.
Demanding Assad must go deadlocks talks. Syrians alone will decide who'll lead them. On Friday, opposition negotiator Ahmad Jakal said:
"Brahimi told us the talks will continue and there will be a third round, but he did not set a date." Current talks may extend into Saturday.

The credit card business is now the banking industry’s biggest cash cow, and it’s largely due to lucrative hidden fees.
You pay off your credit card balance every month, thinking you are taking advantage of the “interest-free grace period” and getting free credit. You may even use your credit card when you could have used cash, just to get the free frequent flier or cash-back rewards. But those popular features are misleading. Even when the balance is paid on time every month, credit card use imposes a huge hidden cost on users—hidden because the cost is deducted from what the merchant receives, then passed on to you in the form of higher prices.

The Syrian Arab Army may be on the verge of another set of victories that go far beyond those gained in the summer of 2013 when the Syrian army and Hezbollah took the rebel held city of Qusayr. The hotly contested battles rage in the major city of Aleppo and the much smaller mountain city of Yabrud. Major gains in either locale would be significant. Victories in both would raise questions about the various rebel factions and their ability to continue contesting for control of the country

Who authored the seemingly designed-to-fail UN Security Council Draft Resolution on delivering urgent humanitarian aid into the Old City of Homs and other besieged areas of conflict-torn Syria? When we know this, much may become clearer with respect to the cynical politicization of the continuing civilian suffering.
The draft resolution was put forward by Australia, Luxembourg, and Jordan, and according to a UN/US congressional source—one who actually worked on rounding up the three countries to front for the US and its allies—none was pleased with the decidedly raw and undiplomatic pressure they received from the office of US UN Ambassador Samantha Power.

Earlier articles explained. So-called Syrian National Coalition (SNC) delegates lack legitimacy. They're US stooges.
They're self-serving. They represent US interests. They're mindless of Syrian suffering. Assad must go, they demand.
They want Syrians having no say on who'll lead them. Day three of round two talks achieved nothing. SNC delegates presented a plan designed to be rejected. More on it below.
On February 12, Assad political/media advisor Bouthina Shaaban said talks so far resolved nothing. Opposition delegates want transitional governance.

It's longstanding state policy. It's what former Israeli politician Yigal Allon called maximum land with minimum Arabs.
It's dispossessing them for Jewish exclusivity. It's doing it extrajudicially. It's doing it without compromise.
It's claiming all land Israel wants belongs exclusively to Jews. Palestinian rights don't matter. They're persecuted for their faith, ethnicity and presence.
They're ethnically cleansed to make way for Jews. It's happening one bulldozed Palestinian home at a time. Destroying entire communities reflect it.
Last September, Jordan Valley Khiret Khallet Makhul community homes were demolished. Sixty Bedouin Arab Israeli citizens were affected.
They've lived there for many years. They grazed their livestock. They had to sleep outside with no shelter.
