America has 16 known intelligence agencies. James Clapper is Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
On January 29, he presented his annual worldwide threat assessment. He did so to Senate Select Committee on Intelligence members.
He lied calling terrorism "persistent threats to US interests overseas." None exist except ones America invents.
President Obama considering whether to order the Central Intelligence Agency to kill a U.S. citizen in Pakistan. Amazon would be an accessory to the assassination. Amazon has a $600 million contract with the CIA to provide the agency with “cloud” computing services aggregating data help agency do its work.

International, regional and internal players vying for interests, wealth, power or influence are all beneficiaries of the “al-Qaeda threat” in Iraq and in spite of their deadly and bloody competitions they agree only on two denominators, namely that the presence of the U.S.-installed and Iran–supported sectarian government in Baghdad and its sectarian al-Qaeda antithesis are the necessary casus belli for their proxy wars, which are tearing apart the social fabric of the Iraqi society, disintegrating the national unity of Iraq and bleeding its population to the last Iraqi.
The Iraqi people seem a passive player, paying in their blood for all this Machiavellian dirty politics. The war which the U.S. unleashed by its invasion of Iraq in 2003 undoubtedly continues and the bleeding of the Iraqi people continues as well.

On November 24, Iran and P5+1 countries agreed on nuclear Joint Plan of Action provisions. Interim agreement terms run six months.
On January 20, implementation began. Obama twice committed breaches. More on his latest one below.
America's agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on. US history proves it. It's strewn with broken promises. Betrayal is longstanding US policy.
Its word isn't its bond. Duplicity defines America. One treaty obligation after another is breached. Hegemons operate this way. Washington is by far the worst.

Since the beginning of human history we have witnessed so many genocidal murderers; kings, presidents, military leaders and political clergy, who called for, advocated and perpetrated genocidal crimes against whole nations. A thorough study of those criminals shows clearly that the worst genocidal murderers throughout history were mostly Jews.
One can clearly detect a Jewish genocidal characteristic in their leaders and their Rabbis since the beginning of their history starting with Moses along with other leaders and Rabbis such as Joshua, David, Samuel, Saul, Solomon, and others until present day Israeli leaders such as Ariel Sharon, Ovadia Yosef, Shimon Perez, Benjamin Netanyahu, Tzibi Livni, Ehud Barak and all the Israeli Prime Ministers and Rabbis since the establishment of Israel.

Talks resumed on Monday, February 10. Conflict resolution prospects are virtually nil. Washington bears full responsibility.
Obama wants war, not peace. He wants Assad's government toppled. In March 2011, he launched proxy war to oust him. So far he failed.
Syrian delegates arrived on Sunday. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem heads them.
Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad said talks will focus on Geneva I communique provisions. Top priority is ending terrorism.

Chief rabbis are most important. They have power. They impose customs and rituals. They enforce them. They alone decide who's a Jew and who's not.
They determine who's married, who's divorced, who may marry, who may not, and who may marry whom.
The decide which children are legitimate and which aren't. They have enormous influence over Israeli policy.
A civil judge "solemnly promise(s) to be loyal to the State of Israel and its laws." A rabbinic judge pledges only "to be loyal to the State of Israel."
Israel has two chief rabbis. Ashkenazi and Sephardi ones. They're elected to 10-year terms.
Israel's Chief Rabbinate Council assists them. They alternate as presidents of Israel's Rabbinical Supreme Court.

Past few months have kept Iran busy. Apart from elections and a new President, a proposed nuclear deal is also in the air. With USA and its allies planning to end their disastrous outing in Iraq, Iran’s role in the region seems to be growing with each passing day.
Furthermore, the Iranian nuclear deal might just put an end to the status quo between the Gulf countries and Iran. If so, how is the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) going to react?

This view of the twilight sky and Martian horizon, taken by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, includes Earth as the brightest point of light in the night sky. Earth is a little left of center in the image, and our moon is just below Earth. A human observer with normal vision, if standing on Mars, could easily see Earth and the moon as two distinct, bright "evening stars."
Whenever I see a picture like this I am deeply humbled and I realize that my life's purpose on this small stage in this vast cosmic arena must be profoundly obvious and simple. As such, my life's purpose was to find, prove, live and share the truth of a Unified Field of Love and Soul Consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears

What started as a somewhat complex mathematical analysis of the game of politics using game theory (the mathematical study of strategic decision making) has evolved years later into an extraordinarily simple idea that would revolutionize government at all levels.
Deception is the lifeblood of our political system. A system claiming to work for the best interests of the people, while in fact largely working for corporate special interests, must necessarily be riddled with elaborate lies and deception. Our political system, with great help from mainstream media, is designed to foster mass deception rather than expose it. But a simple rule change to our game of politics would instantly and reliably expose deception. This would destroy the status quo and revolutionize government.
Rather than trying to establish a level playing field for the game of politics, we could heavily stack the deck with a simple rule change that rewards informed truth seekers while severely punishing liars (and the ill-informed). We could establish a simple rule change that effectively forces intellectual honesty passively, without any required action by the players of the game. Too good to be true? Read on.
