Is he still working for his former masters in Washington, DC?
Two diplomatic messages from the WikiLeaks Public Library on U.S. Diplomacy indicate that newly elected President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko was an agent for United States State Department. A confidential message from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev on April 29, 2006 mentions the newly elected Ukraine president twice.
" During an April 28 meeting with Ambassador, Our Ukraine (OU) insider Petro Poroshenko emphatically denied he was using his influence with the Prosecutor General to put pressure on Tymoshenko lieutenant Oleksandr."
" During an April 28 meeting with Ambassador, Our Ukraine (OU) insider Petro Poroshenko denied that he was behind Prosecutor General Oleksandr Medvedko's recent decision to issue an arrest warrant for Tymoshenko lieutenant Oleksandr Turchynov. … [to] question him about the alleged destruction of SBU [Ukraine intel] files on organized crime figure Seymon Mogilievich."

Primary elections originated in the American progressive movement and were intended to take the power of candidate nomination away from party leaders and deliver it to the people. California’s Top Two Primary takes power away from third parties representing the 99% and delivers it to the 1%.
Voters have increasingly become disillusioned with the Democratic and Republican Parties. ccording to a poll reported by RasmussenA in April, more than half the country believes that neither of the top two parties represents the American people. As presidential candidate Ron Paul remarked in 2011:
These parties aren’t different, they’re all the same. The monetary policy stays the same. The welfare system stays the same. The foreign policy stays the same. . . . There is but one party.

The Arab world, if indeed there is still an entity as such, and Muslims around the world must respond in a meaningful manner to the latest affront coming from Australia.
This week, the Australian Attorney-General George Brandis said in a speech that his country ought to stop viewing East Jerusalem as an occupied city.
Brandis is notorious for his racist views and xenophobia. Some of his critics have already described him as "Nazi-minded." The Australian press recently quoted him as saying that "people have the right to be bigots," which made racist and anti-immigration groups in Australia ecstatic. Unfortunately, much of the man's vindictive chauvinism is reserved for Arabs and Muslims. His remarks about E. Jerusalem encapsulate a morbid mind-set not unlike that of the people who wanted to create the Third Reich.

Introduction
On May 2014 President Obama delivered the commencement address to the graduates of United States Military Academy at West Point. Beyond the easy banter and eulogy to past and present war heroes, Obama outlined a vision of past military successes and present policies, based on a profoundly misleading diagnosis of the current global position of the United States.
His presentation is marked by systematic lies about past wars and current military interventions. The speech’s glaring failure to acknowledge the millions of civilian killed by US military interventions stands out. He glosses over the growth of NSA, the global police state apparatus. He presents a grossly inflated account of the US role in the world economy. Worst of all he outlines an extremely dangerous policy of confrontation with rising military and economic powers, in particular Russia and China.

Masnaa border crossing (Syria/Lebanon)
Predictions about the likely course of events in this region, including occasional ones by this observer, have a way of not panning out as expected. But one prediction I offered recently to Palestinian friends in Syria—namely that Lebanon’s “media” would fail to inform the world about an important Palestinian victory achieved in late May—has so far turned out to be accurate.
The confrontation which took place recently in a small office at Lebanon’s General Security (GS) Information Branch headquarters was for the most part civil in tone—an over-the-hill American in handcuffs refusing to answer questions from a fat guy in uniform, who kept making a racket by striking his desk with a small metal rod, this as the Yankee began a hunger strike: it has been kept quiet. No coverage in the media. And frankly, that’s fine, because arguably it wasn’t that newsworthy in any event. But the problem which had given rise to the incident surely was.

If the sharing economy movement is to play a role in shifting society away from the dominant economic paradigm, it will have to get political. And this means guarding against the co-optation of sharing by the corporate sector, while joining forces with a much larger body of activists that have long been calling - either explicitly or implicitly - for more transformative and fundamental forms of economic sharing across the world.
With public interest in the sharing economy on the rise, a polarisation of views on its potential benefits and drawbacks is fast becoming apparent. Much of the mainstream media continues to focus on the ability of the sharing economy to generate wealth and create new billionaires, while some social entrepreneurs and progressives claim that interpersonal sharing is the solution to the world’s most intractable problems. At the same time, a growing number of analysts are concerned that the sharing economy could enable businesses to evade regulations and even break the law. These increasingly conflicting views reflect the diverse interests of the many individuals, organisations and businesses engaged in what is essentially an emerging movement for sharing that has yet to clarify its purpose.

Caveat, this is not a medical advice nor a gun-control article.
This http://tiny.cc/3mxogx “List of 45 Mass Murders and Pharma Drugs they were on” is an excellent read, but merely a drop in the bucket compared to other http://tiny.cc/1vxogx psych-med-violence lists and databases. According to Yahoo Answers: “It is now 1 in 100 in the US not 1 in 150 (rate of ADHD/Autism Births);
There are approximately 11,000 children born in the US each day-110 of the children born each day have a form of Autism which breaks down to about every 13.09 minutes a child is born with a form of Autism in the US.”… According to the Center for Disease Control, Canada, pesticides cause ADHD, ADD, Autism and Asperger’s.

A "war of religion" is unfolding, with a view to justifying a global military crusade. In the inner consciousness of many Americans, the "holy crusade" against Muslims is justified. While President Obama may uphold freedom of religion, the US inquisitorial social order has institutionalized patterns of discrimination, prejudice and xenophobia directed against Muslims.” (Michel Chossudovsky “America's Holy Crusade against the Muslim World”, Global Research, 8/30/2010).

Press Release:
Hearing tomorrow (June 6, 2014) to get rid of Minor’s Counsel John Cate Lamareaux Center 8:30 AM Judge Salter..
Ruby Dillon is a mother living in New Port, California. She has a 9-year-old daughter named Lexi. She separated from Lexi’s father when Lexi was a baby and raised her on her own without child or spousal support from the father. He showed very little interest in his daughter until Lexi was 4 or 5. At age 5 he filed for custody of Lexi and the mother willingly entered into shared custody of their daughter.
Two years ago Lexi was dropped off to her mother from visitation with her father. They were out to dinner and Lexi was crying holding her private parts and Ruby took her to the bathroom. Lexi was bleeding. Ruby took her to the ER and had her daughter checked. The doctor examined Lexi and informed Ruby that her daughter had been sexually abused. Ruby was shocked and could not believe it. The doctor assured her that the injury to her daughter was consistent with child sexual abuse and that Lexi disclosed the abuse to him. Ruby took her daughter to Tustin Police and Lexi was forensically interviewed and they found Lexi credible. I have read the police CAST interviews containing Lexi’s graphic details of the abuse by her father, including photographing his naked child.
When Ruby reported the abuse to the Family Law Court she was looked at with immediate suspicion of ulterior motive. She was stripped of her parental rights and placed on monitored visitation and a Superior Court Judge turned Lexi over to her named, identified abuser.
Ruby has been fighting tirelessly to protect her daughter. There are mountains of evidence in this case that point toward sexual abuse by the father. There must be a 100 years of accumulated expertise in child sexual abuse detection by her therapist, forensic police detectives, medical doctors, a forensic 730 child custody evaluator and a number of other Court Appointees all of whom believe and find this child’s disclosures of sexual abuse, credible. There is also physical evidence by medical doctors as well. The heinous thing is that in this case and others we have observed over the years as Court watchers… too often Judges ignore the exculpatory evidence of their own court appointees.
In Lexi’s case, Officer Tarpley from Tustin PD, Dr. Leah Reinhart, and her 730 Evaluator Dr. Sheffner, are left in the hallway of the Courthouse and not allowed to testify on behalf of the child. The Judge refuses their entry into the Courtroom and calls the mother a liar. He says that the mother coached the child to make her disclosures… there is absolutely no evidence to support these statements or findings by the Judge (Salter). The evidence is the opposite. None of the experts have… or would say that Ruby coached her daughter to make these terrible claims.
Ruby has been treated as if she were living in a third world totalitarian country. She was a dentist with a thriving practice and a happy loving relationship with her daughter. She and her daughter have been stripped of a relationship with each other by the Court, Ruby is not allowed to even see her daughter.
The father has sole custody of the daughter. He has abandoned Lexi for a year and is living in Canada. Ruby is prevented by the court from seeing her daughter and Lexi is held prisoner by nannies and house keepers in her father’s condo in Tustin. The only place the father has legal status is Thailand… and he wants to take Lexi there. Lexi is terrified he will transport her there and she will never see her mother again. Thailand is not a signatory to the Haig Convention.
Tomorrow’s hearing is to discharge the Minor’s Counsel who refuses to represent his client in this case. The Minor’s Counsel John Cate acts as a representative of the father and with knowledge of Lexi’s disclosures suppresses evidence given him by her therapist and Lexi…who is the main, consistent, unwavering, whistle blower in this case.

Problems in OC Child Welfare System Get Statewide Scrutiny
by Stephen Lendman
It OKs mass murder. It permits flouting rule of law principles, norms and standards.
America is a terror state. Criminality continues on an unprecedented scale.
Permanent war is official US policy. One country after another is ravaged and destroyed. Millions of corpses attest to America's barbarity.
No nation in world history matches it. Obama exceeds the worst of his predecessors. He's a war criminal multiple times over. Advancing America's imperium matters most. US hegemonic ambitions risk global war. So does its rage for full spectrum dominance over all land, surface and sub-surface sea, air, space, electromagnetic spectrum and information systems with enough overwhelming power to fight and win global wars against any adversary.
International laws, treaties, conventions, standards and norms don't matter. Washington rules alone apply. Might v. right reflects them.
