News Flashes From Around the World

LIBYA -  NATO's cowardice is apparent and disturbing; attacking a defenseless nation with high flying airplanes, missiles launched from sea, and helicopter gunships spraying missiles and bullets. Acting as a protectorate to prevent slaughter, NATO has augmented the killing, behaving as a killing machine with no other objective than to destroy. Arguments between the European nations and the United States reveal that NATO has run out of ammunition and needs more armaments . According to the Daily Mail, The U.S. as of June 11, has spent $665 million in the conflict.

Insidious spread of far-right thoughts 
The shooting rampage in Norway last Friday reflects the surging far-right sentiment in Europe. The shooting was not carried out on a whim. Anders Behring Breivik, who carried out the worst massacre in Norway since World War II, had reportedly been planning the killing for nine years.

America's own Taliban
Prior to 9/11, the Taliban government in Afghanistan did not register very much on American radar screens, with one notable exception: when it blew up two colossal images of the Buddha in Bamiyan province in early 2001. But destruction of treasured artifacts isn't just limited to the Taliban.

Palestinians Prepare for Massive Uprising
Leading members of the Palestinian Popular Committees in the West Bank plan massive civil unrest and disobedience against the Israeli occupation authorities come September when the Palestinians take their case for statehood to the UN.

Does the United States control the weather?
Here is your key to understanding HAARP (weather modification), with enough references to keep you busy for awhile.

Biological Evolution
In a fascinating discovery that counters a common theory that human evolution has slowed to a crawl or even stopped in modern humans, a recent study examining data from an international genomics project describes the past 40,000 years as a time of supercharged evolutionary change, driven by exponential population growth and cultural shifts.

Soviet Union came close to defeat in World War II
A film banned by the Kremlin and kept secret for more than 40 years has provided an insight into the wartime exploits of Marshal Georgy Zhukov, the military commander who led the fight against Hitler, and how close the Soviet Union came to defeat.
