– US ‘to boost’ military aid to Israel after Iran nuclear deal   (RT, July 16, 2015):

The US has offered to increase military aid to Israel by another $1.5 billion per year to ease tensions over the nuclear deal with Iran, media has reported. Defense Secretary Ash Carter is expected to make the offer during next week’s visit to Tel Aviv.The proposed increase would see Israel getting an additional squadron of F-35 fighter jets, funding for research and development of missile defense systems, and ammunition to replenish the stocks used in last year’s bombing of Gaza, Israeli sources told Jerusalem Post.Under the current arrangement, Israel is receiving $3 billion a year, most of which is used to purchase US military hardware such as fighter jets and missile defense systems. Israeli and US officials have been discussing increasing the amount of aid to anywhere between $4.2 and $4.5 billion per year, sources familiar with the talks told the New York Times.

More than a month’s worth of rain in one hour.

The onslaught came suddenly on Monday afternoon, with an estimated 102mm (4 inches) of rain bucketing down on the village of Ogndal in a single hour, followed by heavy hail which left a layer of ice across the area.

“This just does not happen in Norway, we have a hard time believing that it’s true,”  Geir Ottar Fagerli, a government meteorologist, told NRK. “It’s not that we doubt the observations, but it is absolutely amazing.”

“These are figures ??that you only normally see in the jungle,” he continued,

Israeli-made air-to-air missile may have downed MH17 – report

by

H/t reader squodgy:

As I recall, speculation about the real identity of.MH17 was muddied deliberately after the Australian Navy failed to locate MH370 , the first EVER record of a flight recorder not being discovered.
Then a rogue ‘anorak’ plane spotter located a CIA purchased”spare” Boeing 777 in Malaysian colours sticking out of a hangar at the secret israeli Mossad run airfield.
Then the U.S., Dutch, Ukrainian & Australian Governments teamed up to declare all details about MH17 were “classified”….DOH!
So now another unofficial report by independent engineers with superior knowledge of air to air weapons points a finger at an israeli “Python” which they claim had relatively recently been fitted to Ukrainian SU-25 Frogfoot Ground Attack fighters.
Why fit air to air missiles to ground attack fighters in the first place? Is it possible the Israelis fitted a homing device to the plane whilst it was being secretly set up for destruction?
This seems to be a classic israeli co-ordinated false flag event which went bad and it is now up to the Dutch to provide a cover up, just as they did with Pan-Am flight 103 which blew up too early over Locherbie killing the Beirouti US Embassy staff en route to whistleblow to Bush Snr about the Iran-Afghan-contras- heroin link which was another CIA black op .
Or am I being too presumptive?

Prime Minister Tsipras’ Bailout Reform Package: An Act of Treason against the Greek People

– Prime Minister Tsipras’ Bailout Reform Package: An Act of Treason against the Greek People (Global Research, July 11, 2015)

After having launched a Referendum to refute and refuse the debt bailout agreement put together by the Troika, Prime Minister Tsipras together with his newly instated Finance Minister, comes up four days latter with an austerity package broadly similar to the one which was turned down by the Greek government in June.

This about-turn had been carefully engineered. The Greek people were misled and deceived. The Referendum was an outright  ”ritual of democracy”. 

Tsipras had made a deal with the creditors. He was in favor of accepting the demands of the creditors all along.

Tsipras led the “NO” campaign while having already decided that in the wake of the Referendum, he would say YES to the creditors and cave in to their demands. This is tantamount to an Act of Treason.

There was no attempt by the Tsipras government in the immediate wake of the Referendum to renegotiate  or extend the deadline on behalf of the Greek people in response to the NO Vote. On Monday morning, the day following the Referendum, Yanis Varoufakis who had led the negotiations with the Troika resigned as Finance minister. Did he wilfully resign or was he “dismissed” to facilitate an agreement with the Troika?

The Soil Association is calling for a UK ban on the use of Glyphosate sprayed on UK wheat as a pre-harvest weedkiller and its use to kill the crop to ripen it faster.   New figures analysed by the Soil Association from government data were released at a scientific briefing in London on 15 July 2015. This revealed Glyphosate use in UK farming has increased by 400% in the last 20 years and it’s one of the three pesticides regularly found in routine testing of British bread – appearing in up to 30% of samples tested by the Defra committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF).

If there was any doubt just who Obamacare was created to serve from day one (spoiler alert: it was never America’s population), we now have the answer and it is so simple, even a 5-year-old can get it. Moments ago Politico reported that former Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner, and the infamous former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services who was responsible for writing many of Obamacare’s rules and regulations for the insurance industry, only to be fired following the disastrous rollout of the HealthCare.gov enrollment website, has been hired as the new CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans, the “powerful K Street lobbying group.”

Cited by Politico, AHIP board chairman Mark Ganz in a statement that”There is no better individual than Marilyn to lead our industry through the increasingly complex health care transformation that is underway. She has the respect and trust of policymakers and stakeholders from all sides, and a personal commitment to advance meaningful solutions for improving access to quality, affordable care for all Americans.”

The Shocking 2008 AIG Report On “Empire Europe” And The Death Of Greece

by

“What Europe Wants” – to use global issues as excuses to extend its power:

  • environmental issues: increase control over member countries; advance idea of global governance
  • terrorism: use excuse for greater control over police and judicial issues; increase extent of surveillance
  • global financial crisis: kill two birds (free market; Anglo-Saxon economies) with one stone (Europe-wide regulator; attempts at global financial governance)
  • EMU: create a crisis to force introduction of “European economic government”

– Presenting The “Greek Terms Of Surrender” As Annotated By Yanis Varoufakis (ZeroHedge, July 15, 2015):

The Greek “deal” has already been dubbed “a new Versailles Treaty” for good reason: for Greece, the agreement which effectively abdicates sovereignty to Germany, is precisely that.

And while few if any in Greece – and certainly its parliament – have carefully read the actual contents of the Summit statement, and instead are rushing to pass the deal with hopes that just approving its contents may lead to the ECB blessing a prompt reopening of banks so Greeks can resume withdrawing their frozen deposits before the public realizes it was betrayed by its rulers, one person who has read it is the former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.

And not only that: just hours before what may be the most critical vote in Greek history, he has released an annotated version of what the Euro Summit statement really means for Greece.

In his words: The Euro Summit statement (or Terms of Greece’s Surrender – as it will go down in history) follows, annotated by yours truly. The original text is untouched with my notes confined to square brackets (and in red). Read and weep… [For a pdf copy click here.]
