Israel's Number One Warmongering Drama Queen




The corporate for profit media wont touch the story but that's OK because the alternative media are on top of it. During the 80's when Netanyahu claimed he was working as a furniture salesman (same job as Obama's grandfather nudge nudge wink wink) he was in fact smuggling nuclear triggers out of the United States. They are called Crytrons and given Israel is a non signatory of the nuclear proliferation treaty we can expect to see Nutty Netenyahu in jail one day or at least in the dock like Rupert Murdoch with his warmongering empire crumbling around him. Ironically the Israeli press has been more open than the Western press. Alternatively Iran might just wipe the floor with Israel and teach them a lesson if they try it on. I'm quite relaxed about that right now given the latest information.

The best source for information is Grant Smith who insigated the Freedom of Information Act securing the FBI files that revealed Netanyahu's name in the nuclear technology smuggling.

Adrift




Exacerbated both by modernization so unchecked it has transformed the Thai central basin into a concrete jungle of industrial zones, housing estates and entertainment complexes with little of the natural irrigation once provided by canals, forests and fields, and the man-made city ‘big bag’ wall designed to divert the northern run-off from its natural passage through central Bangkok, the severe flooding of the 2011 monsoon season left hundreds of thousands of rural and suburban addresses abandoned in stagnant waters for several months.
Such a tragedy informs us that perhaps not only from the country (the provinces) has the capital truly come adrift, but humankind itself – greedy with resources and negligent of its imprint on the ecosystem – has, too, from our hosts, the planet, become far removed.

Cold War 05/24 Korea 1949 - 1953



A particularly depressing episode of the cold war. Excellent documentary making though if you can stomach the savagery on all sides.
