Florida puppeteer Ronald William Brown accused in child porn case
*(CNN) -- On his website, Ronald William Brown posed with puppets, boasted about birthday party performances and offered workshops for school groups.* Now the 57-year-old Florida man is behind bars, facing federal charges of conspiring to kidnap a child and possessing child pornography. Authorities accuse the puppeteer of having graphic discussions online about abusing, kidnapping, killing and eating children, according to court documents. He was arrested in Largo, Florida, last week and appeared in federal court Tuesday. A 29-page criminal complaint filed in federal court include... more »
Lions eat Black Swans
There was a period there after the crashes of 20o7 when everyone started talking about “Black Swan events.” These were random events happening out of the blue that take everyone by surprise. It was suddenly all the rage to talk about Black Swans. According to the hype, we were now living through one of these Black Swan events . (Even ACT's Heather Roy got caught up in the hype, before one came up and nipped her in the arse.) But guess what, people. The crash, the recession, the credit crisis … none of these were Black Swans. A Black Swan event is something truly random and unable... more »
Holmes sent package to university
(CNN) -- Authorities on Monday discovered a package in a mailroom at the University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus apparently sent by the alleged gunman responsible for the theater shooting that left 12 people dead and scores injured, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation said Wednesday.

Barclays executive Jerry del Missier given £8.75m pay-off Instead of Punishment
*Mr del Missier, the bank’s former chief operating officer who resigned three weeks ago, is understood to have negotiated the deal with Barclays’ outgoing chairman Marcus Agius in the days before he quit. The pay-out looks certain to trigger another political storm over bankers’ pay.* Mr del Missier was one of Barclays’ highest-paid executives, receiving a salary and bonus package for 2011 worth £6.7m plus a further £10.8m from share awards from previous years. He became co-head of the investment bank in January 2011, when former chief executive Bob Diamond was promoted to the top ... more »
How al Qaeda can grow in Syria
*U.S. officials and experts on Al Qaeda agree that al Qaeda has a presence among the opposition in Syria. But how strong are they?

I button-holed Richard Barrett, coordinator of a New-York-based team appointed to advise the Security Council on the effective development and implementation of sanctions aimed at al Qaeda and the Taliban. “There’s no doubt at all that some of the people who refer to... more »
Israel's Barak calls for swifter action against Iran
*Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak called on Wednesday for major powers to speed up efforts to stop Iran's nuclear programme, cautioning it would be tougher to confront it once Tehran managed to cross an atomic threshold.* Israeli media interpreted Barak's comments as pushing for a possible Israeli strike against Iran to stop a project the West sees as a drive to achieve nuclear weapons though Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons, saying its programme is intended solely for peaceful purposes. "I am very well aware and know in depth the difficulties and complexity involved in pre... more »
Syrian Detour: Syria Threatens No One
I have not put up an article about the situation in Syria for a while. I have long called the war by the criminals in both the United States and the criminal state of Israel the "Syrian Detour" because it should have been obvious that these monsters want a war against Syria due to its military alliance with Iran. They have always hoped that by triggering a war against Syria, they could get their long sought and cherished war against Iran off and running. It does not matter to these sick twisted maniacs that such a war could also see Russian and Chinese involvement in a global th... more »

Russia accuses US of justifying terrorism in Syria
BEIJING, July 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, has accused the United States of justifying terrorism against the Syrian government. He also spoke against Western countries’ unilateral sanctions on Syria. Sergei Lavrov said, "Speaking about the sanctions, including the 17th package of sanctions against Syria which was just passed several days ago, we are against unilateral sanctions in principle. We are for collective discussions of any issues. Unfortunately, when the European Union, the United States, and other countries started to impose unilateral sancti... more »
