Due to delays and bureaucratic bottlenecks, we have arranged with the banks involved to pay you through cash delivery system by a fiduciary agent who will be moving the funds Cash to Montreal Canada. He is very experienced in cash delivery system of this mode, and will also help you with his contact in Montreal Quebec where you will be required to fly to and meet up with him to open a new account with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) where he has a very good contact. The funds will be deposited to the account after clearance and you can be able to make transfers outside Canada to any destination of your choice. The name of the fiduciary agent is Mr. Michael Williams; you have to follow his instructions to the letter to ensure the success of this transaction. He will be calling you before he departs from London and also call you once he arrives Canada. He will be the one to advice you on the process to follow and any other directives to complete the transaction. This arrangement has been completed and sealed. So we await your response and let us know when you can make it to Canada. Yours Truly, Barr Charles Walter If you received a similar letter, please ignore it. Do not answer it. If you do, you will end up on more of the mailing lists used by the criminals behind this fraud. Read more.... Copyright 1995 - . All rights reserved.

Let us know what's going on! Go to form WASHINGTON The Justice Department has effectively shuttered an Obama-era office dedicated to making legal aid accessible to all citizens, according to two people familiar with the situation. The division, the Office for Access to Justice, began as an initiative in 2010 under former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to increase and improve legal resources for indigent litigants in civil, criminal and tribal courts. Though the head of the office reports directly to the associate attorney general, it never gained much visibility within the Justice Department because it did not oversee a large staff of prosecutors. While Attorney General Jeff Sessions cannot close the office without notifying the Congress, he can sideline it by moving its resources elsewhere. Its offices now sit dark on the third floor of the Justice Department building. The staff of a dozen or so has dwindled and left the department over the past few months, the people said. Maha Jweied, the acting director of the department, left this month to start a consulting business, according to her LinkedIn profile. The Justice Department did not respond to repeated requests for comment, and Ms. Jweied did not respond to an emailed request for comment. Career prosecutors emphasized that new administrations reshuffle the Justice Departments priorities, de-emphasizing or shuttering projects that previous administrations had supported to devote resources to their own agendas. Tensions ran high on Thursday among lawmakers, with the House and Senate Democratic leaders calling on Mr. Ryan to remove Mr. Nunes from his chairmanship and one senior Republican senator cautioning that his House colleagues should slow down their push to release the document. Republicans and Democrats on the Intelligence Committee spent the day arguing over charges by Democrats that the Republicans had made material changes to the memo after the committee voted to release it but before it was transmitted to the White House for review. Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, wrote in a letter late Wednesday that the committee needed to restart the process and vote on the revised memo. Republicans quickly countered that Mr. Schiff was complaining about minor edits and said their vote was absolutely procedurally sound. But a senior Democratic official familiar with the changes said the Democrats had found five material differences in the versions of the memo, including one that the official described as an apparent effort to water down the Republican findings. There were six separate changes to grammar or word choice, the official said. It was not immediately clear whether the changes were related to those requested by the F.B.I. In a sharply worded letter of her own, Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic leader, called on Mr. Nunes to be removed as the Intelligence Committees chairman. Congressman Nuness deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as chairman, and he must be removed immediately from this position, she wrote, adding, The integrity of the House is at stake. Mr. Ryan dismissed the idea during his afternoon news conference, saying that the Democrats were merely playing politics. Mr. Ryan speaking in part to his Republican colleagues urged readers of the memo not to draw lines between the material discussed in it and the work or character of Mr. Mueller or Mr. Rosenstein. The political news cycle is fast, and keeping up can be overwhelming. Trying to find differing perspectives worth your time is even harder.

From the Right WASHINGTON Ahead of his first trip as secretary of state to South America, Rex W. Tillerson warned countries in the Western Hemisphere on Thursday about the dangers of the regions growing trade with China and Russia. Chinas offer always comes at a price, Mr. Tillerson said in a speech at the University of Texas, Austin, where he was once a student. Latin America does not need new imperial powers that seek only to benefit their own people. In wide-ranging remarks, Mr. Tillerson also pledged more help in Mexicos fight against drug cartels and Colombias peace initiative and efforts to cut back on coca production. He also called on both Cuba and Venezuela to embrace democracy, and said that updating the North American Free Trade Agreement and striking other trade deals were a priority. But his most pointed remarks came in his warning against Russian military sales and trade with China, which has displaced the United States as the largest trading partner for Chile, Argentina, Peru and Brazil. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. President Trump turned up the pressure on Democrats on Thursday to come to an agreement with Republicans on protections for young undocumented immigrants, asserting that opposition leaders talk a good game but cared more about politics than actually resolving the matter. In a speech to Republican lawmakers at their annual retreat, Mr. Trump complained that Democrats were unwilling to budge and would rather see him fail than make progress on immigration or other issues that would benefit the country. At the same time, he warned his fellow Republicans that they would have to make compromises themselves to reach a deal. They talk a good game with DACA, but they dont produce, Mr. Trump said of Democrats, referring to the Obama-era policy known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, that he has ordered canceled. Either they come on board or were just going to have to really work to elect more Republicans in the midterm congressional elections in the fall. Mr. Trump moved in September to end the DACA program, which grants work permits to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children and protects them from deportation, on the grounds that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority by creating it through executive action. But Mr. Trump has expressed support for protecting those immigrants, known as Dreamers, through legislation if Congress can agree. He gave lawmakers until March 5 to take action, though his cancellation of the program is now tied up in the court system. At least two students were shot in a middle school classroom in Los Angeles on Thursday, and a female suspect was taken into custody, the police said. The police received a call about the shooting at 8:55 a.m. local time and responded to Salvador Castro Middle School, in the Westlake North neighborhood. The school shares its campus with Belmont High School. Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Department said that two 15-year-old students had been shot. One, a boy, was in critical but stable condition after being shot in the head, and the second, a girl, was in fair condition after she was shot in the wrist. Three other people suffered minor injuries. The police found a gun on the scene. The police said that a 12-year-old girl was in custody and that they believed the shooting was unintentional. Doctors at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center said the two victims are expected to fully recover. Teachers across the country will soon be able to train for an active shooter on school grounds using a computer simulation that includes realistic details like gunfire, shattered glass and the screams of children. This vivid and realistic digital simulation was created by the federal government. It was modeled after a real school and includes 20 classrooms, a library, a cafeteria and a gymnasium with blue-padded walls. To depict the chaos of a school shooting, the software developers studied audio dispatches from the mass killings at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. It is a very traumatic, very panicky situation, said John Verrico, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, which funded the $5.6 million program. We tried to make the environment just that disturbing. A 2,000-year-old United Nations World Heritage Site in Peru was damaged this week when a trucker intentionally drove his tractor-trailer off a roadway that runs through the protected historic area, the authorities said. The site, the famed Nazca Lines, is a sprawling series of images scratched into the surface of a coastal plain about 225 miles south of Lima, the capital. The site was created between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500, and is the worlds best-known example of geoglyphs large designs created by arranging rocks or altering the landscape that depict animals, plants and other figures. The truck driver, Jainer Jesus Flores Vigo, was arrested and is expected to be charged with an attack against cultural heritage, according to the government-owned news outlet Andina. Good afternoon. On my orders, the United States military has begun strikes against Al Qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. That was the start of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. We need the freedom to operate on the ground and in the air. Its now Americas longest war. About 18 years. Yet few battles or notable events from Afghanistan have taken root in Americas collective memory. And that means fewer signposts to mark the long passage of time. But if we look at how long it took to reach seminal moments in other wars, it might bring Americas 17-year presence in Afghanistan into clear view. Well start with the Battle of Gettysburg. This bar represents the number of days the U.S. has been fighting in Afghanistan. The fighting at Gettysburg began 811 days into the Civil War. Many consider this the most important battle of the conflict. And it took place after half the war was fought. Now apply it to Afghanistan time. It would bring us to just Dec. 27, 2003. There were about 13,000 American troops in Afghanistan back then. That number would eventually peak at 100,000. In England, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and his deputy commanders chart the liberation of a lost continent. Then theres the Allied D-Day invasion at Normandy. One of the most iconic moments of World War II. The culmination of extensive planning in years of fighting in Northern Africa, Italy and elsewhere. That invasion began 913 days after America entered the war. In Afghanistan time, that brings us to just April 4, 2004. Hamid Karzai hadnt even been elected as president of Afghanistan yet. And when World War II neared its end with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, that came after 1,339 days of battle. In Afghanistan time, that would reach to June 2005. Not even a quarter of the way through. Vietnam was Americas second-longest war. And the final pivotal moment was the fall of Saigon in April 1975. That occurred 3,706 days after U.S. Marines landed in Da Nang in 1965. And in a final comparison to Afghanistan time, that would bring us to Nov. 30, 2011. Osama bin Laden was killed about six months earlier. And President Obama had already announced plans to completely withdraw U.S. troops. He would later reverse that decision. The Obama and Trump administrations would unveil new strategies continuing the fight, which goes on to this day. MANILA The Philippine police said on Thursday that they had arrested a top leader of the countrys decades-old Communist insurgency, in the latest signal that President Rodrigo Duterte is not interested in resuming the peace talks he halted last year. The rebel leader, Rafael Baylosis, 69, was arrested along with an aide on Wednesday in Quezon City, a northern suburb of Manila. The military says Mr. Baylosis is one of the top leaders of the New Peoples Army, the armed wing of the underground Communist Party of the Philippines. The arrest was the first of a Communist leader since Mr. Duterte called off peace negotiations with the insurgents in November. He has accused the rebels of using the talks as a cover to stage attacks, including one that left a young girl dead. The police said on Thursday that Mr. Baylosis and his aide, Guillermo Roque, had been spotted by officers on a surveillance mission and that they had been armed and suspicious looking. They fled but were captured, and the officers seized handguns and ammunition from them, according to the police. If the broader Tet offensive revealed chaos where the government was trying to project control, Adamss photo made people question whether the United States was fighting for a just cause. Together, they undermined the argument for the war on two fronts, leading many Americans to conclude not only that it could not be won, but also that, perhaps, it shouldnt be. The photo fed into a developing narrative in the wake of the Tet offensive that the Vietnam War was looking more and more like an unwinnable war, said Robert J. McMahon, a historian at the Ohio State University. And I think more people began to question whether we were, in fact, the good guys in the war or not. A police chief had fired a bullet, point-blank, into the head of a handcuffed man, in likely violation of the Geneva Conventions. And the official was not a Communist, but a member of South Vietnams government, the ally of the United States. It raised a different kind of question to Americans than whether or not the war was winnable, said Christian G. Appy, a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. It really introduced a set of moral questions that would increasingly shape debate about the Vietnam War: Is our presence in Vietnam legitimate or just, and are we conducting the war in a way that is moral? In the months after the Tet offensive, public opinion shifted more rapidly than at any other point in the war, Dr. McMahon said. Adamss photo won a Pulitzer Prize, and Time magazine called it one of the 100 most influential ever taken. You can talk about the execution photograph from the Vietnam War, and not just the generation who lived through it but multiple generations can call that image to mind, said Susan D. Moeller, the author of Shooting War: Photography and the American Experience of Combat, and a professor of media and international affairs at the University of Maryland. It was immediately understood to be an icon. Yet the decisions on how to display this photo and other graphic Vietnam war imagery were matters of debate in the newsroom of The Times. I remember certain pictures, the influential photo editor John G. Morris, who died at 100 last year, said, which I was just determined to get on page one. This was one, as was the 1972 picture of a naked 9-year-old, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, fleeing a napalm attack. That ran at the bottom of the page. In a remote part of Afghanistan a US military outpost. In the middle of Niger the outlines of an expanded base and airstrip. In Syria, exercise routines and possible patrolling routes on a base where American special forces trained. By design, these secretive locations are supposed to be difficult to spot. But a heat map posted online by Strava, a company that tracks peoples exercise routes, has inadvertently put these places on public display for all the world to see. Many of the military bases are already well known, like Bagram and Kandahar air fields in Afghanistan. And the material were revealing here doesnt go beyond anything that isnt already available on the open web. But Stravas platform has drawn attention in a new way to the activity of military personnel in far flung outposts and has laid bare some loopholes in the security of military bases. How did this happen? Strava is an app and social network that connects with devices like Fitbit and is used to log workouts. Its popular with U.S. soldiers and others stationed abroad and the Pentagon has distributed several thousand of them to its personnel. They use it to track their exercise routines and everyday activities like walks or patrols. But it also tracks users locations, and in November 2017 the company updated a map showing over 1 billion activities and 3 trillion GPS points. Twenty-year-old international security student Nathan Ruser was the first to point out how Stravas map could compromise operational security. The map alone doesnt show the complete picture and its satellite images are outdated, but it does tell you where to look. So by combining it with recent satellite imagery and other reporting, we get a clearer sense of whats happening on the ground. Take this new U.S. Air Force Base in Sarrin, Syria. The map shows workouts are walking routes activities that provide a clear blueprint of the base and by tracing the lines, we can follow soldiers to a newly set up helicopter pad. Heres what else we found. A new compound at a French military site in Mali, Strava highlighted the camp in the first place and no other mapping platforms had marked the site. These U.S. forward operating bases in Afghanistan. The location of a U.S. drone base under construction in Agadez, Niger, and various military facilities in Djibouti, where the U.S. is fighting extremist groups in the Horn of Africa. And there are some mysterious sites that we cant yet identify. An area in the middle of the Nigerian desert. Two remote locations surrounded by sand barriers in Yemen And heres an unusual activity in the desert in Mauritania that led us to a suspected military site, including an extended airstrip nearby. Strava also allows users to share photos and workout routes. Its basically Facebook for athletes. This allows everyone with an account to see who is working out where. For example, the King of the Camp run at a U.S. military base in Iraq, or the Embassy River Wall Segment in Baghdads green zone, or the perimeter base run where more than 15 individuals stationed at a U.S. military base challenge themselves. We found photos posted by users from inside military bases and the online profiles of several U.S. service members stationed at one base near Mosul in Iraq. A Pentagon spokeswoman said that this data release emphasized the need for personnel to have situational awareness. And its assessing if any additional training or guidance is required. There are some areas where people presumably are not allowed to bring their cellphones. User activity at C.I.A. and N.S.A. headquarters, for instance, can be seen around the perimeters, but not beyond certain points inside the structure. But out in the remote corners of the world where the U.S. military is operating, theres plenty to see. LONDON A man accused of driving a van into Muslim worshipers outside a London mosque, killing one person and injuring nine others, was found guilty of murder on Thursday, after a trial that raised questions about the radicalizing influence of far-right groups in Britain. The man, Darren Osborne, 48, had denied responsibility for the June 2017 assault near the Finsbury Park Mosque, in north London, though he admitted that he had hoped to kill Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party, as well as the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, at a different location. After an eight-day trial at the Woolwich Crown Court, jurors took an hour to declare him guilty both of murder and attempted murder. He is due to be sentenced on Friday. The court heard evidence suggesting that Mr. Osborne had been radicalized relatively quickly. According to Mr. Osbornes partner, Sarah Andrews, his Islamophobic views developed in the weeks before the attack, as he became convinced that not enough was being done to combat Islamic extremism. WARSAW Even as international pressure mounted on Poland to back away from a new law that would make it illegal to blame Poles for crimes committed by Nazi Germany, the Senate passed the legislation on Thursday. The bill, which sets prison penalties for using phrases like Polish death camps to refer to concentration camps set up by the Nazis, is subject to the approval of President Andrzej Duda. Supporters are urging him to sign it, even at the risk of rupturing relations with Israel and the United States. This week, Mr. Duda said that he would review the legislation closely before deciding whether to sign, but he added that he was absolutely outraged that the Israeli ambassador had criticized the legislation during a ceremony to commemorate the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp on Polish soil. I dont know if there is some misrepresentation or misinformation in regard to how the Israeli side understands parts of this legislation, Mr. Duda told the state broadcaster on Monday. But we, as a state, as a nation, have a right to defend ourselves from an evident slander, an evident falsification of historical truth, which, in this case, for us is a slap in the face. LONDON People measure adulthood by an ever-shifting set of age limits for rights like driving, drinking, voting, having sex, marrying, or serving in the military. Add another to the list: How old must you be to get your tongue or an intimate body part pierced? In Wales, the answer is 18, under a law that took effect on Thursday, just days after the Welsh government proposed allowing people as young as 16 to vote in local elections. The restriction on piercing, part of a health law that passed last year with broad support in the Welsh National Assembly, prohibits piercing the tongue, breast, genitals or posterior of anyone younger than 18. There are basic standards that apply across Britain. The law prohibits piercing the genitals of anyone under 16, the age of sexual consent, or the nipples of a girl under 16. In England, there is no age limit for piercing tongues, boys nipples or less intimate body parts. In Scotland, any piercings, even of earlobes, require parental approval before age 16. The Welsh law was prompted by studies and surveys reporting that not only are young people far more likely to have piercings, their piercings are much more likely to cause problems like infections and, in the case of tongue studs, damaged teeth. Two senior U.S. generals show up at a small city in northern Syria Manbij. Why were they there? And why now? The answer begins last March when images emerged showing U.S. troops flying the American flag on patrol there. It was unusual to see such a public display of American boots on the ground in Syria. And that was the point. The Pentagon deployed these troops to keep the peace between nearby Turkish troops and Kurdish fighters. You know we are very clear about our presence there. These patrols are overt. Both are sworn enemies of each other. But both are also U.S. allies. Turkey is a NATO ally, and the Kurds have been key to helping the U.S. defeat Islamic State. So to keep the peace in the city an American show of force was necessary. Now the common enemy for everyone had been Islamic State. But with that fight winding down, old rivalries have again taken center stage. The Turks consider Kurds terrorists and say they are protecting their own border. And so Turkey has launched an offensive against the Kurds just a three hour drive from Manbij in Afrin. Turkeys president has said Manbij is his Armys next objective after Afrin. The problem is American troops are still there. Heres what we know about their presence. Theyve been advising Kurds there since 2016 and still continue overt patrols in the city. Plus theres a U.S. air base thats just a 45-minute drive away. At times, U.S. patrols near the city have also received fire from Turkish-backed rebels. We identified this to our Turkish allies, and they have taken appropriate measures to get that under control. These rebels operate in territory just north of the city. Its part of a buffer zone Turkey already controls along its border with Syria. The U.S. has said it has no intention of leaving, that it will support the Kurds there despite Turkeys rhetoric. And thats what this visit by the generals tried to show. But if the offensive turns towards Manbij, U.S. troops could find themselves stuck between two bitter enemies putting American lives at risk. One of the generals said that if U.S. forces were attacked, they would stay and fight. CAIRO When it comes to securing a second term in power, Egypts president is leaving little to chance. Potential rivals in the March election have been sidelined, jailed or threatened with prosecution. The news media is largely in his pocket. On polling day, Egyptians will have a choice between President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and one of his most ardent supporters an obscure politician drafted at the 11th hour to avoid the embarrassment of a one-horse race. As he cruises toward victory, Mr. Sisi need not worry either about foreign censure: President Trump has hailed the Egyptian leader as a fantastic guy, and most other Western leaders have been largely silent. Across the world, autocratic leaders are engaging in increasingly brazen behavior rigging votes, muzzling the press and persecuting opponents as they dispense with even a fig leaf of democratic practice once offered to placate the United States or gain international legitimacy. Commercial insurers negotiate down from those high prices. But while good negotiators can get great deals, others will miss out. And the uninsured often get bills and collection notices asking them to pay the highest prices of all. Some big companies have made efforts to curb prices, with some effect. The supermarket chain Safeway has deployed a technique called reference pricing, in which it calculates a price sufficient to pay for a high-quality lab test and radiology test. Employees must select a provider that comes in under that bar or pay the difference. Providers have an incentive to drop prices for this big pool of employees. With reference pricing, Safeway saved $2.6 million on lab tests over three years. Boeing also contracts directly with health systems in Washington and California for some employee care, bypassing insurers. But neither Boeing nor Safeway is likely to have the fearsome arm-twisting clout of this new conglomerate. The pharmaceutical industry knows it will need Amazon to deliver drugs. Hospitals might want Chase to finance equipment purchases. And who would dare alienate Warren Buffett, who has called health care costs a hungry tapeworm on the American economy? The three titans are also likely to insist that the best hospitals the Sloan Ketterings and Cleveland Clinics be available to their workers. Yes, they may use technology in smarter ways to benefit patients. This might include home monitoring of heart rhythms and blood sugar; diagnosing via telemedicine and iPad; delivering prescription medicines to doorsteps; and bringing medicine into the 21st century with online billing and payment. They may also be able to provide employees some degree of pricing transparency so that they can make better choices. In doing so they will probably be able to reduce the high administrative costs associated with our health care system, an estimated 25 percent of hospital spending, and give patients more control of their care. How can the rest of us get in on the deal? If the new health care company permits outside firms and individuals to buy into whatever they create, that could set off a revolution. That new company would, essentially, become a novel insurer although one that is cheaper, more efficient and patient-friendly. And that could be good for the entire health care system. But what if the three corporations try to turn their health care company into a profit center? This weeks announcement said the new company is free from profit-making incentives and constraints. That doesnt quite say nonprofit. If the long-term game plan of the Amazon-JPMorgan-Berkshire offshoot is to function as a business that is sold to the rest of us to please shareholders, then we may end up pretty much back where we started. And that is not where we want to be. Saturday 5) 9 A.M. D.I.Y. Neighborhood Tour Picket-fenced bungalows, moss-laden trees and brick-paved streets fill the historic residential neighborhoods of Thornton Park and Lake Eola Heights to the east and north, respectively, of downtown Orlandos Lake Eola. Take a D.I.Y. tour to get a feel for Old Florida life aboard one of the orange bikes in the Juice Bike Share program ($8 an hour). Make your first stop Downtown Credo coffee, a social-impact-oriented shop with four locations around town that sources coffee direct from growers and asks customers to name their price for each cup. Make sure to walk that bike around Lake Eola: Bikers are forbidden from cycling on the sidewalks that ring the shore. 6) 11 A.M. House & Garden In the 19th century, old-money snowbirds from the north began spending their winters beside the lakes of Central Florida, particularly Winter Park, the Orlando neighbor that feels more like a village than a suburb. They and modern-day successors built mansions lining Lakes Osceola, Maitland and Virginia, which are connected by old logging channels: narrow passages about the width of the 18-seat pontoon boats operated by Scenic Boat Tour. The tour companys hourlong itinerary ($14) takes in the fine homes and the Spanish-Mediterranean-style campus of Rollins College. The excursion is also a nature tour, especially in the slim canals where guides point out a 150-year-old live oak, among other sights. 7) 1 P.M. Double Feature One of Winter Parks affluent part-timers was Charles Hosmer Morse, whose heirs eventually amassed the largest collection of glass works by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the world and made it the anchor of the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. In addition to wall-size, garden-themed panels, the museums Tiffany collection includes the kaleidoscopic chapel he created for the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition in Chicago and several rooms from Laurelton Hall, his Long Island estate. For contemporary ballast, cross the leafy Rollins College campus to the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, which mounts shows with pieces that range from old master paintings to modern-day neon.

Pushing Paper If youve shopped in a hip stationary store recently, chances are youve seen the festive and funky designs of Rifle Paper Co. The Winter Park design firm operates an airy boutique in the Hannibal Square neighborhood, where you can pick up everything from cards and journals to wrapping paper and iPhone cases in its signature floral patterns. A few blocks east on Winter Parks main drag, Park Avenue, independent boutiques include Violet Clover, selling blouses and accessories; and Han Design, with unique jewelry and Turkish rugs. Grab a novel and flop down in a cozy armchair at Writers Block Bookstore, where the staff tapes their mini book reviews to the shelves. 9) 6:30 P.M. Progressive Feast Getting around much of Orlando requires a car, but Winter Park offers a bounty of restaurants within walking distance of each other. Start at the Ravenous Pig, staffed by crack bartenders who whip up cocktails that may include a rum-port-spiced apple Needle in the Hay ($12). Move on to bustling Prato, where the partner and chef Brandon McGlamery serves market-inspired Italian dishes, including house-made pastas ($17) and pizzas ($16) cooked in a wood-fired oven. He also oversees Luma on Park, a romantic spot with an open kitchen and a luscious pineapple curd ($8) on the dessert menu. 10) 9 P.M. After-Dinner Art The culinary arts and the fine arts meet at the Alfond Inn at Rollins, a few blocks from Park Avenue. Established by Rollins College, the nonprofit inn funnels all proceeds to its scholarship programs. Contemporary art fills the ground floor of the 112-room hotel in a rotating arrangement overseen by the curators of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum. Join the locals for post-dinner drinks in admiring the art or sitting around the courtyard fires beside the bougainvillea hedges.

People will continue to die on the M7 between Offaly and Tipperary unless works are carried out on it, according to Tipperary TD Alan Kelly. The Labour Deputy told the Dail last week that if consideration wasn't given by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to realigning the on / off ramps at Moneygall and Roscrea as well as engineering works at Birdhill then people will die." I believe that will happen in the near future, he told Minister for Transport Shane Ross during a debate on the motorway last Thursday. Deputy Kelly acknowledged that the area was subject to weather patterns because of its location, but emphasised that there were definitely engineering issues. He questioned why the on / off ramps at Moneygall and Roscrea were shorter and sharper than at other motorway junctions. He appealed to Minister Ross to consult with TII and provide them with funding to carry out an analysis on the stretch of roadway and why there were so many accidents on it. This is one of the busiest routes in Ireland. Everyone knows Obama Plaza at Moneygall, and Birdhill gives access to a whole range of areas. Templemore and Roscrea are on the one road, so please look at that, he said. Deputy Kelly made his appeal following a collision on January 16 near Birdhill which resulted in the deaths of John F and Mary Elizabeth Powell of Crenode, Ballinclough, Nenagh. Both were laid to rest together in Ballinaclough cemetery last Sunday following their funeral service in St Mary's Church of Ireland, Nenagh. Two days after the crash which claimed the lives of the Powells, there was a 13-car pile-up between Moneygall and Roscrea. Weather conditions were not good at the time, with sudden hail showers hitting the areas. Last March, Padhraic Moran from Kerry, but who had been living in Limerick, died when his car was involved in a 12-car pile up on thet M7 at Newport. That accident also happened during a sudden severe hail shower. Minister Ross replied that he shared Deputy Kelly's concern for road safety. If we can do any more, we will do so, he said. The Transport Minister said he hoped to launch an attack on speeding and that campaign would apply to the M7 as well as other roads in Ireland. There is no suggestion that any of the accidents over the past while were related to speeding. TII is acutely aware of the difficulties on this road, he told Deputy Kelly. Any further pressure you bring to bear on TII or on me will be more than welcome. He said the TII's commitment to road safety was not in doubt and outlined the agency's plans to replace fencing along the M7 following fears that it may be impacting on deaths and injuries in crashes. Minister Ross said that TII had started a programme of renewing fencing in conjunction with Tipperary County Council and it was hoped to have it fully replaced this year.

They met with the Bhatkal brothers and then the Indian Mujahideen was born. OneIndia News BJP worker killed in Bengaluru: BJP deems it political while cops suspect dispute over drugs India oi-Anusha BJP worker gunned down in Bengaluru, party calls it political murder | Oneindia News Political drama unfolded on Thursday outside the residence of Santosh- a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker who was murdered in Bengaluru. While the BJP has deemed the 28-year-old's death a political murder, the police suspect a dispute over drugs led to Santosh's death. Santosh was stabbed by a gang of four people on Wednesday night in J C Nagar locality of Bengaluru. While two of the accused were arrested shortly after, all other accused have been identified. A previously injured Santosh was rushed to a private hospital nearby but succumbed to injuries shortly. The BJP was quick to deem it a political murder and alleged that Wasim, one of the accused in the case, assaulted Santosh for putting up saffron flags in the locality. Wasim and Philip- another accused- were arrested on Wednesday night. "This is a political murder. Another Hindu/BJP activist has been killed in Karnataka taking the number to 24. The accused are members of SDPI and killed Santosh for putting up BJP and Saffron flags in the locality last week. He was organising a Kabbadi match and had put up flags in the playground," said R Ashoka, leader, BJP. Ashok, along with a host of BJP leaders descended upon Santosh's residence on Thursday. Santosh's body was brought to his residence by police after his family refused to accept his mortal remains. High political drama ensued with the BJP demanding answers from the Home Minister and police commissioner. After hours of protest by Santosh's mortal remains, his family relented and agreed to perform final rites after Sunil Kumar, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru assured to take up their cause with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

OneIndia News Budget 2018: No fire in the belly says expert India oi-Vicky By Vicky No fire in the belly said, R Vaidyanathan, professor of finance at the Institute of Management Bangalore and a finance expert. It is an average budget, he told OneIndia. For the salaried class there is no significant benefit, he said. If one takes the overall medical and transport benefit, it does not suggest anything significant, Professor Vaidyanathan also said. The middle class in particular was waiting for a change in tax slab as well as additional benefits when it came to investments. Hence the middle class in particular is bound to be unhappy, he also said. The good side is the benefits doled out to the agriculture and health sector. I however feel that this should have been done in the first year itself. These benefits do not come immediately and take some time. Hence if one is talking in terms of the election perspective, it may not serve the purpose the professor also added. The corporate relief announced in the budget is a good move. The Finance Minister announced that companies with turnover of Rs 250 crore would come under the 25 per cent corporate tax slab. This is a very good move he said. He also said that exemption for senior citizens is also a good move and would help them be comfortable. The decision on cryptocurrency is also a very good move. It was good that the same has been mentioned, Vaidynathan said. The problem with such currency is that there is no sovereign guarantee and is not back by gold or any reserve. It is highly speculative and hence to this effect this was a good move to state that cryptocurrency is not legal tender.

OneIndia News For Breaking News and Instant Updates Allow Notifications Story first published: Thursday, February 1, 2018, 7:33 [IST] Working in a very positive way with Pak to crack down on terror: Trump Nations cannot be friends of US while supporting terror: Donald Trump International pti-PTI Washington, Feb 1: Citing his recent decision to suspend security assistance to Pakistan, US President Donald Trump has said that countries cannot hope to be friends with America while supporting or condoning terror. "President Trump is making clear to our allies that they cannot be America's friend while supporting or condoning terror," the White House has said in a detailed fact sheet on his foreign policy, which was issued after his first State of the Union Address. "The President has suspended security assistance to Pakistan, sending a long overdue message to aid recipients that we expect them to fully join us in combating terrorism," the White House said. Last month, the Trump administration had suspended nearly USD 2 billion in security assistance to Pakistan accusing the country of not doing enough in the fight against terrorism. Pakistan has denied the allegations and said it will suspend military and intelligence cooperation with the US. The Pentagon, however, says that there has not been such move from Pakistan. According to the White House, Trump will relentlessly pursue threats to America's security, prioritising efforts to confront and defeat radical Islamic terror and the ideology that sustains it. "President Trump's conditions-based South Asia strategy provides commanders with the authority and resources needed to deny terrorists the safe haven they seek in Afghanistan and Pakistan," it said. PTI Biden says another terror attack likely in 24-36 hours, vows to keep up airstrikes against ISIS Nikki Haley says 'sky is the limit' for India-US relationship International pti-PTI Washington, Feb 1: Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being aggressive in pursuing economic and administrative reforms, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said that "sky is the limit" for India-US ties. Haley, told a select gathering high-achiever Indian-Americans that the Trump administration has also undertaken a similar operation. It makes sense for the two democracies, having so much in common values to work together, Haley said in her remarks during her luncheon meeting hosted by the Indian Ambassador to the US, Navtej Singh Sarna, at his residence on Tuesday. The luncheon, organised at a very short notice, was attended by some of the top Indian-Americans from across the country. "It is always a delight to see the sense of pride that Ambassador Haley has in her Indian roots, and the high value she attaches to the India-US relationship even as she plays such a prominent role in the American political sphere," Sarna told PTI a day after. Haley said when she entered the Trump administration, she desperately wanted to see the US-India relations to be very strong "which wasn't the case during the last two presidencies". "It didn't make sense to me because when you look at the values, they're the same. When you look at the work ethic and what they believe from a corporate standpoint -- the same. When you look at the research and all the things that we do, these two democracies have so much in common," she said. It makes sense for the two countries to be friends, the top Indian-American in the Trump administration said. "We're seeing a growing interest, and a growing relationship and seeing that happen. The president is very very fond of what is happening with India, growing that relationship trying to make sure that we do more with India," Haley said. "I think that sky's the limit now. We are going to continue to try and show the values of India to the United States and continue trying to show the values of the US to India," she said. Haley said Modi was aggressively pursuing reforms and changes in India. "He very much wants to streamline and do all of these reforms, that are very true for this (Trump) administration too. So I think it's a good combination to have them (Trump- Modi) together," Haley said. Later in the evening, Haley attended the maiden State of the Union address by Trump at the US Capitol. Haley is the first ever cabinet ranking Indian-American in any presidential administration. In his remarks, Sarna described Haley as star of the Trump administration. Sarna said Haley's story really showed that "can't is not an option". "Coming from a coming from a family of immigrants, coming from a relatively small rural town and moving so quickly to hold the post of Governor was in itself a huge achievement," said Sarna. "From there to here when over the last one year we have seen you become, if I may say so, the star of this administration," he said. PTI You have permission to edit this article.

From Down With Tyranny Global surface temperatures relative to 1880-1920 based on GISTEMP data, which employs GHCN.v3 for meteorological stations, NOAA ERSST.v5 for sea surface temperature, and Antarctic research station data[1].' (Image by 'Global Temperature in 2018' by James Hansen.) Details DMCA This is an update on the coming climate train wreck. The numbers are in for 2017, not just the global temperature itself (see graph above), but also the clearly climate-related damage that was done -- the fires, hurricanes and other extreme-weather events. 2017 ranks in the top five hottest years on record, and broke the record for climate-related damage. About global temperature in 2017, look at the chart above and note three things. With No El Nino, 2017 Was Still the Second Hottest Year in the Instrumental Record "Global surface temperature in 2017 was the second highest in the period of instrumental measurements in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analysis. Relative to average temperature for 1880-1920, which we take as an appropriate estimate of 'pre-industrial' temperature, 2017 was +1.17 degreesC (~2.1 degreesF) warmer than in the 1880-1920 base period. The high 2017 temperature, unlike the record 2016 temperature, was obtained without any boost from tropical El Nino warming." "Consider a simple calculation. Most governments that try to show they are interested in ending man-made CO2 emissions have 'exit rates' -- rates at which humans go to zero emissions -- which nonetheless have us increasing emissions as late as 2050. The underlying assumption is that if we start the count at 400 ppm in 2014 (per the monthly chart at the above), then add +2.11 ppm per year, we don't get to 450 ppm for roughly 20-25 years (allowing for modest acceleration in the growth rate). But if atmospheric CO2 growth suddenly zooms to +4 ppm/year starting with this year's 406 ppm, we're at 450 ppm in 11 years."

Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), who carried the torch for an enlightened patriotism and the conscience of our country in the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union address, should join the list of potential Democratic nominees for vice president in 2020. A new generation of dynamic young Democrats is rising across America as bold young leaders have risen to power in democratic nations including Canada and France. Americans yearn to reclaim a future that raises our sights, honors our values, restores our unity and lifts our spirits in ways not seen in the Oval Office since Jan. 20, 2017. The Trump-Kennedy contrast tells a tale of two men, two parties and two visions of America that will define politics in 2018, 2020 and beyond. In Trump's America, Hispanic immigrants are demonized by conflating them with vicious gang members. In Kennedy's America, the dream should flourish for all and leaders do not build walls, they tear them down. Kennedy represents something exciting and powerful that is happening across America in response to Trump. There is a surge of enthusiasm and excitement among young Americans who will inherit the future, blacks who know their votes matter, Hispanics who will not relent in their quest to make their dreams come true and women who are surging to the forefront of national leadership. Voter turnout for Democrats is surging. In his address to the nation, Kennedy gave voice to them all, and more. Speaking eloquently and passionately in English and Spanish to an audience in Fall River, where the old and new economies meet in Massachusetts, Kennedy championed an America in which the rising tide lifts all boats, from the poorest of the poor in our cities to the workers in the blue-collar towns of our heartland. Kennedy embodies a politics that is powerfully reminiscent of his grandfather Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.), who won support from minority groups and white blue-collar workers by proposing that they share the same values, dreams and economic interests in this special place we call America, where prosperity should be shared by all and justice should flow like a mighty river in all directions. Kennedy carries the torch for an enlightened patriotism and united America that Trump will never understand. Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and other rising Democratic stars carry that torch as well. So does Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), who could become the surprise superstar after the 2018 midterms if he succeeds in his campaign to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), which is gaining steam. While Kennedy told the nation that "we are all worthy, we are all equal and we all count," the Women's March seeks to change the course of history by registering 1 million new voters. More than 30 young veterans are running for Congress as Democrats, including three courageous women who graduated from the Naval Academy, served with valor and were recently profiled in The New York Times. When I was a young man working for a brilliant senator named Birch Bayh (D-Ind.), my bosses would take me to the Mayflower hotel every Friday afternoon where Kenny O'Donnell, the great friend and confidant to John and Robert Kennedy, would hold court and tell us stories about the two great men. I remember like it was yesterday when Kenny told us how he, Jack and Bobby would sometimes get to work early, be chatting in the Oval Office, and Jack would ask them: "How are we going to change the world today?" When Trump wakes up, we learn which Americans he will insult with tweets that morning. When Joe Kennedy wakes up, he considers how he can make the world a better place that day. Kennedy and others like him carry the torch for the enlightened patriotism and calls to action with a united purpose that truly make America great, and set the stage for Democrats to change the world again.

From Paul Craig Roberts Website Update: CREDO is attempting to protect the orchestrated conspiracy of Russiagate, which is directed at President Trump and American democracy, from the evidence uncovered by the House Intelligence Committee. CREDO, which claims to be a social change network of over five million activists, is sponsoring a petition to have House Speaker Paul Ryan remove House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes from the chairmanship on the sole basis of CREDO's false accusation that Nunes is "compromised." This desperate attempt by CREDO to protect a treasonous conspiracy shows the utter and total corruption of the progressive movement in America. Here is the message I received from CREDO's Josh Nelson: "CREDO launched a petition this morning urging Paul Ryan and House Republican leadership to remove Rep. Devin Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee. "The petition reads: "The independence of Rep. Devin Nunes as chair of the House Intelligence Committee is compromised. You must immediately remove him from the Committee, and help ensure an independent and transparent investigation of all credible allegations concerning the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian government." "The petition can be found here. "This morning, CREDO started sending a 600+ word email to part of its email community making the case that Nunes is subverting the committee's work in order to protect Donald Trump. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like a copy of the full email sent to CREDO members this morning. "Thanks, "Josh" The purpose of the Second Dossier is to prevent the first one from being de-legitimized by the release of the summary report of the House Intelligence Committees' investigation, which found that Russiagate is a conspiracy against President Trump and American democracy by the FBI, Obama Justice (sic) Department, Hillary-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the presstitute media. As I wrote would be the case, by announcing their possession of the evidence but not releasing the evidence, the Republicans gave their formidable opponents plenty of time to discredit the evidence in advance of its release. The Republicans should have released the report simultaneously with the announcement and President Trump should simultaneously have had the conspirators arrested, indicted, and placed on trial. The presstitutes can easily shout down the House Intelligence Committee and be backed up by the Democrats on the committee. The presstitutes can portray what they call the "Nunes memo" in any fashion they wish. The FBI, DOJ, and CIA and various Clinton operatives can have their media whores publish endless denunciations of the evidence. Indeed, the presstitutes already are, as I have pointed out and as Stephen Lendman points out again. MSNBC presstitute John Heilemann put into the public's mind that the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is a Russian agent. Presstitute Heilemann suggested on TV that "we actually have a Russian agent running the House Intel Committee on the Republican side." The presstitute Heilemann sent on to say: "I'm not the first person who's raised this. He's behaving like someone who's been compromised, and there are people in the intelligence community and others with great expertise in this area who look at him and say, 'That guy's been compromised.'" Even the UK newspaper The Guardian, once a voice for the working class but now a PR agent for the police state, publicized the fabricated and unsubstantiated Second Dossier known to have been prepared by a Clinton operative. The print and TV media are utterly corrupt throughout the Western world and are accustomed to successfully defeating truth with lies. By sitting on the evidence while those guilty discredit it, Republicans played into the hands of the Russiagate conspirators. Would you like to know how many people have read this article?

From Wallwritings The Apprentice Logo (Image by By Bill Dawson) Details DMCA Halfway though President Trump's 90-minute State of the Union (SOTU) address Tuesday, it suddenly struck me: This guy is good at this. Of course he is. This is a man who spent 14 years as host of television reality shows, most notably, The Apprentice. Standing at the podium in the House chamber, the President was in his element. He was the star of his reality show. Members of Congress and the nation, watched him perform. Half the Congress cheered on cue. They rose to their feet in their enthusiasm. The other half remained respectfully sullen and subdued with only the occasional moan. What struck me halfway through the speech was the confident manner in which the President stayed on script and especially the way he read the description of guests chosen to illustrate his vision of the state of our union. Trump followed the formula set by another actor-president, Ronald Reagan, the first president to recognize an invited guest during his State of the Union address in 1982. Gerhard Peters and John T. Woolley, authors of The American Presidency Project, have recorded the annual guest list of those who have been introduced by presidents. They note that President Bill Clinton, who delivered the only two SOTU addresses longer than Trump's, spoke on February 4, 1997, and as his first guest, he identified the first Chinese-American state governor, Governor Gary Locke, a Democrat from the state of Washington. In his 1997 SOTU speech, Clinton highlighted his support of education when he highlighted two students from Illinois, Chris Getsler and Kristen Tanner, both of whom "were among the students who tied for first in the world in science and came in second in math in the Third International Math and Science Study." Clinton also recognized their teacher, Sue Winski. Clinton wanted the nation to understand him as welcoming to immigration and supportive of education. The vision President Trump brings to the White House is dark in tone, white in racial color, and militaristic in style. His "base" responds to the simplistic reality which his vision creates. President Trump is not subtle. He says what is on his mind at a given moment. He was following a script at the SOTU, which we must assume he rehearsed and knew what he wanted to say. His speech writers had followed the formula used by presidents since Reagan, sprinkling his speech with introductions of guests in the hall. Kashana Cauley, a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times, writes what she saw behind Trump's guest list...

From Smirking Chimp On January 23, an overcrowded smuggling boat capsized off the coast of Aden in Southern Yemen. Smugglers packed 152 passengers from Somalia and Ethiopia in the boat and then, while at sea, reportedly pulled guns on the migrants to extort additional money from them. The boat capsized, according to The Guardian, after the shooting prompted panic. The death toll, currently 30, is expected to rise. Dozens of children were on board. The passengers had already risked the perilous journey from African shores to Yemen, a dangerous crossing that leaves people vulnerable to false promises, predatory captors, arbitrary detention and tortuous human rights violations. Sheer desperation for basic needs has driven hundreds of thousands of African migrants to Yemen. Many hope, upon arrival, they can eventually travel to prosperous Gulf countries further north where they might find work and some measure of security. But the desperation and fighting in southern Yemen were horrible enough to convince most migrants that boarded the smuggling boat on January 23 to try and return to Africa. Referring to those who drowned when the boat capsized, Amnesty International's Lynn Maalouf said: "This heart-breaking tragedy underscores, yet again, just how devastating Yemen's conflict continues to be for civilians. Amid ongoing hostilities and crushing restrictions imposed by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition, many people who came to Yemen to flee conflict and repression elsewhere are now being forced yet again to flee in search of safety. Some are dying in the process." In 2017, more than 55,000 African migrants arrived in Yemen, many of them teenagers from Somalia and Ethiopia where there are few jobs and severe drought is pushing people to the verge of famine. It's difficult to arrange or afford transit beyond Yemen. Migrants become trapped in the poorest country in the Arab peninsula, which now, along with several drought-stricken North African countries, faces the worst humanitarian disaster since World War II. In Yemen, eight million people are on the brink of starvation as conflict-driven near-famine conditions leave millions without food and safe drinking water. Over one million people have suffered from cholera over the past year and more recent reports add a diphtheria outbreak to the horror. Civil war has exacerbated and prolonged the misery while, since March of 2015, a Saudi-led coalition, joined and supported by the U.S., has regularly bombed civilians and infrastructure in Yemen while also maintaining a blockade that prevented transport of desperately needed food, fuel and medicines. Maalouf called on the international community to "halt arms transfers that could be used in the conflict." To heed Maalouf's call, the international community must finally thwart the greed of transnational military contractors that profit from selling billions of dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and other countries in the Saudi-led coalition. For instance, a November, 2017 Reuters report said that Saudi Arabia has agreed to buy about $7 billion worth of precision guided munitions from U.S. defense contractors. The UAE also has purchased billions in American armaments. Raytheon and Boeing are the companies that will primarily benefit from a deal that was part of a $110 billion weapons agreement coinciding with President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia in May. Another dangerous crossing happened in the region last week. U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) arrived in Saudi Arabia, along with a congressional delegation, to meet with the monarchy's King Salman and subsequently with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who has orchestrated the Saudi-led coalition's war in Yemen. Following that visit, Ryan and the delegation met with royals from the UAE. "So rest assured," said Ryan, speaking to a gathering of young diplomats in the UAE, "we will not stop until ISIS, al-Qaeda, and their affiliates are defeated and no longer a threat to the United States and our allies. "Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, we are focused on the Iranian threat to regional stability." Beyond the simple well-recorded fact of lavish Saudi financial support for Islamist terrorism, Ryan's remarks overlook the Saudi-led coalition military assaults and "special operations" in Yemen, which the U.S. supports and joins. The war there is arguably undermining effort to combat jihadist groups, which have flourished in the chaos of the war, particularly in the south which is nominally under the control of the government allied to Saudi Arabia. The Iranian government Ryan denounced does have allies in Yemen and may be smuggling weapons into Iran, but no one has accused them of supplying the Houthi rebels with cluster bombs, laser-guided missiles and littoral (near-coastal) combat ships to blockade ports vital to famine relief. Iran does not provide in-air refueling for warplanes used in daily bombing runs over Yemen. The U.S. has sold all of these to countries in the Saudi-led coalition which have, in turn, used these weapons to destroy Yemen's infrastructure as well as create chaos and exacerbate suffering among civilians in Yemen. Ryan omitted any mention of the starvation, disease, and displacement afflicting people in Yemen. He neglected to mention documented human rights abuses in a network of clandestine prisons operated by the UAE in Yemen's south. Ryan and the delegation essentially created a smokescreen of concern for human life that conceals the very real terror into which U.S. policies have thrust the people of Yemen and the surrounding region. Potential starvation of their children terrifies people who can't acquire food for their families. Those who can't obtain safe drinking water face nightmarish prospects of dehydration or disease. Persons fleeing bombers, snipers, and armed militias who might arbitrarily detain them shudder in fear as they try to devise escape routes.

From The Nation Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address 136 years to the day after the birth of the ablest of his predecessors, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Roosevelt delivered epic State of the Union addresses that called a nation to overcome a depression and defeat fascism. Trump delivered a speech that will be forgotten by next week. Roosevelt's State of the Union addresses outlined aspirations that inspire us to this day, especially the 1944 speech in which he proposed a "Second Bill of Rights" to guarantee fair wages, health care, education, "adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment," and "freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad." "We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. Necessitous men are not free men. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made," Roosevelt told the Congress. "In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed." Unfortunately, Trump does not accept these economic truths as self-evident. The entire focus of his administration has been to undo the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and Great Society progress of the past 85 years. Trump said as much in a State of the Union address that was long on self-congratulation and short on vision. Even Trump's oft-discussed $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan was discussed anew, but with few new details. It took a savvy senator to speak the truth: "Trump's infrastructure plan is designed to encourage new #TrumpTolls in order to line pockets on Wall Street," tweeted Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR). "We need a plan that puts middle class jobs and the needs of our communities ahead of his developer friends."

From Alon Ben-Meir Website (Image by Artwork by Sam Ben-Meir and Michael Anderson) Details DMCA It is hard to fathom why Turkey's President Erdogan, who embarked on the most impressive social, political, and economic reforms during his first 10 years in office, turned around and systematically destroyed all that he had achieved. In doing so, he transformed the country into a police state where Islamic nationalism runs supreme. It is no secret that Erdogan is an ambitious man who aspires to become the leader of the Sunni Muslim world and dreams of restoring the "glory" of the Ottoman Empire. He is sparing no efforts to extend Turkey's wings over countries that he can manipulate and exploit in the Middle East and the Caucasus. Even a cursory review of his actions at home and abroad unmistakably shows that there is a pattern to his madness to resurrect not only images but the influence of the vanished Ottoman Empire that died disgracefully in the wake of World War I. The Ottoman Empire will always be remembered by its last infamous chapter -- the genocide of the Armenian people. Thus, when Erdogan recounts the presumed splendor of the Ottoman era, it should have a chilling effect on any country with which Erdogan seeks active bilateral relations, because there are always sinister intentions behind his overtures. To expand his regional influence, Erdogan has followed the footprint of the Ottomans by first taking extraordinary coercive measures to consolidate his absolute powers at home. Following the July 2016 failed military coup, he ruthlessly cracked down on his real and perceived political adversaries, including anyone suspected of having an affiliation with his arch enemy Fethullah Gulen, whom he accused of being behind the coup. He took control over the civilian and government institutions by repeatedly extending the state emergency laws. Instead of continuing to promote freedoms and human rights to encourage creativity and competitiveness, he is choking the Turkish people's natural resourcefulness and ability to excel. With little or no opposition at home, Erdogan moved to promote his Ottoman penchant to establish military bases in Qatar and Somalia, and military ties with Tunisia. Now he is scheming to build another military installation on the strategically located Sudanese Island of Suakin. Erdogan intends to utilize the island as a military outpost, the way it had served during the Ottoman era. Egypt and Saudi Arabia believe that Erdogan's military adventure will upset the regional balance of power, which is the recipe for instability and incessant violence. Thus, instead of alleviating the plight of the nearly 20 million Turks under the poverty line, Erdogan is spending billions on his foreign exploits. To seize on the chaotic conditions in Syria, Erdogan decided to undertake a military offensive to crush the Syrian Democratic Force (YPG), which he accuses of being supportive of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), against whom he has been fighting a war of insurgency for 34 years. Although he asserts that his purpose is the elimination of all terrorist elements to protect his people, his real objectives are: establishing a permanent foot-hold in Syria, which was ruled by the Ottomans; maintaining the support of his nationalistic constituency; demonstrating that he is independent and free to use his military as he sees fit; and most importantly, preventing the Syrian Kurds from cementing their autonomous rule. Hence, instead of solving the conflict with his own Kurdish community, who merely seeks to preserve their culture, he invades Syria under false pretenses to secure his other objectives which are consistent with his Ottoman vision. In the Balkans, Turkey is systematically entrenching itself by increasing its commercial and cultural presence which is evocative of Ottoman rule. In Albania, Turkey is building the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline through the country to supply gas to Europe, and a Turkish consortium is looking to build the nation's second airport. He is investing in Kosovo's infrastructure, building its only international airport, and managing the country's energy. The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) is assisting the Balkan and Caucasian countries in the fields of industry, agriculture, infrastructure, finance, healthcare, and education. In addition, Erdogan is blatantly interfering in other neighboring countries -- including Afghanistan, Albania, Georgia, and Kosovo -- where he is exerting inordinate pressure on their governments to close all schools affiliated with the Gulen movement, threatening to use his economic and political levers against these countries unless they fire and replace the teachers with others who subscribe to his religious Islamist orientation. Rather than investing in infrastructure, housing, education, and healthcare in the Southeast (Turkey's poorest region), he is financing foreign projects aimed at influencing and preserving cultural heritage dating back to the Ottoman Empire, further solidifying Turkey's regional outreach. Although theoretically Turkey still seeks membership in the EU, the accession process is basically frozen, and Erdogan certainly prefers to leave it that way because he is not willing to reverse course and reinstate freedom of the press and human rights, on which the EU insists as a precondition to discussing accession in earnest. Thus, instead of making Turkey a model of Islamic democracy that meets the principal requirements of the EU, he transformed Turkey into an authoritarian Islamic state that resembles the Ottoman governing style. Turkey's role in NATO appears to be increasingly waning as Erdogan continues to gravitate toward Russia, which is considered the West's staunchest adversary, cozying up to Putin who declared war on American democracy. Recently, he reached an agreement with Moscow to buy the S-400 Air Defense System, and to cooperate in building three nuclear plants -- though for civilian purposes they could easily be converted to nuclear weapons production. This development severely erodes Turkey's reliability as a NATO member and as a Western ally.

CODEPINK co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans were detained on Sat. Jan 27 in the West Bank city of Hebron along with Palestinian human rights defender Issa Amro and CODEPINK activist Tighe Barry.

The day before, the CODEPINK activists had met with Basim Tamimi, father of 16-year-old Palestinian political prisoner, Ahed Tamimi. Ahed was arrested on Dec. 19, 2017, for slapping an Israelli soldier who was trying to enter her home, shortly after her 15-year-old cousin Mohammed Tamimi had been shot in the head by an Israeli soldier.

By Edward Curtin Noam Chomsky (Image by jeanbaptisteparis) Details DMCA Graeme MacQueen, Beyond Their Wildest Dreams: September 11, 2001 and the American Left It is well known that effective propaganda works through slow, imperceptible repetition. "The slow building up of reflexes and myths" is the way Jacques Ellul put it in his classic, Propaganda. This works through commission and omission. I was reminded of this recently after I published a newspaper editorial on Martin Luther King Day stating the fact that the United States' government assassinated Dr. King. To the best of my knowledge, this was the only newspaper op-ed to say that. I discovered that many newspapers and other publications (with very rare exceptions), despite a plethora of articles and editorials praising King, ignored this "little" fact as if it were inconsequential. No doubt they wish it were, or that it were not true, just as many hoped that repeating the bromide that James Earl Ray killed Dr. King would reinforce the myth they've been selling for fifty years, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary that is available to anyone wishing to investigate the truth. The general attitude seemed to be: Let's just appreciate MLK on his birthday and get on with it. Don't be a spoil-sport. That this is the approach of the mainstream corporate media (MSM) should not be surprising, for they are mouthpieces for official government lies. But when the same position is taken by so many liberal and progressive intellectuals and publications who are otherwise severely critical of the MSM for their propaganda in the service of empire, it gives pause. Like their counterparts in the MSM, these liberals shower King with praise, even adding that he was more than a civil rights leader, that he opposed war and economic exploitation as well, but as to who killed him, and why, and why it matters today, that is elided. Amy Goodman at Democracy Now in a recent piece about an upcoming documentary about King is a case in point. Not once in this long conversation about a film about the last few years of King's life and his commitment to oppose the Vietnam War and launch the Poor People's Campaign is the subject of who killed him and why broached. It is a perfect example of the denial of the truth through omission. Propaganda, of course comes in many forms: big lies and small; half-truths, whispers, and rumors; slow-drip and headlong; misinformation and disinformation; through commission and omission; intentional and unintentional; cultural and political, etc. Although it is omnipresent today -- 24/7 surround sound -- when it comes from the mouths of government spokespeople or corporate media the average person, grown somewhat suspicious of official lies, has a slight chance of detecting it. This is far more difficult, however, when it takes the form of a left-wing critique of U.S. government policies that subtly supports official explanations through sly innuendos and references, or through omission. Reading an encomium to Dr. King that attacks government positions on race, war, and economics from the left will often get people nodding their heads in agreement while they fail to notice a fatal flaw at the heart of the critique. The Democracy Now piece is a perfect example of this legerdemain. I do not know the motivations or intentions of many prominent leftist intellectuals and publications, but I do know that many choose to avoid placing certain key historical events at the center of their analyses. In fact, they either avoid them like the plague, dismiss them as inconsequential, or use the CIA's term of choice and call them "conspiracy theories" and their proponents "conspiracy nuts." The result is a powerful propaganda victory for the power elites they say they oppose. Orwell called it "Crimestop: [it] means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short means protective stupidity." There are many fine writers and activists who are very frustrated by their inability, despite a vast and continuous outpouring of excellent critiques of the machinations of the oligarchical rulers of the U.S., to convince people of the ways they have been brainwashed by government/media propaganda. Most of their anger is directed toward the most obvious sources of this intricate psychological warfare directed at the American people. They often fail to realize, however -- or fail to say -- that there are leftists in their ranks who, whether intentionally or not, are far more effective than the recognized enemies in government intelligence agencies and their corporate accomplices in the media in convincing people that the system works and that it is not run by killers who will go to any lengths to achieve their goals. These leftist critics, while often right on specific issues that one can agree with, couch their critiques within a framework that omits or disparages certain truths without which nothing makes sense. By truths I do not mean debatable matters, but key historical events that have been studied and researched extensively by reputable scholars and have been shown to be factual, except to those who fail to fairly do their homework, purposely or through laziness. There is no way to understand today's world without confronting four key historical events out of which spring today's conditions of oligarchic rule, constant war, and the growth of an intelligence apparatus that makes Orwell's 1984 look so anachronistic. They are: the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK by elements within the U.S. intelligence services, and the insider attacks of September 11, 2001. These are anathema to a group of very prominent left-wing intellectuals and liberal publications. It is okay for them to attack Bush, Obama, Clinton, Trump, the Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders, liberals in general, creeping fascism, capitalism, the growth of the intelligence state, etc.; but to accept, or even to explore fairly in writing, what I assert as factual above, is verboten. Why? When President Kennedy was murdered by the CIA, the United States suffered a coup d'e'tat that resulted in years of savage war waged against Vietnam, resulting in millions of Vietnamese deaths and tens of thousands of American soldiers. The murder of JFK in plain sight sent a message in clear and unambiguous terms to every President that followed that you toe the line or else. They have toed the line. The message from the coup planners and executioners was clear: we run the show. They have been running it ever since. When Martin Luther King declared his opposition to the Vietnam War and joined it to his espousal of a civil rights and an anti-capitalist program, he had to go. So they killed him.

A FEDERAL JUDGE on Tuesday ruled that a Kansas law designed to punish people who boycott Israel is an unconstitutional denial of free speech. The ruling is a significant victory for free speech rights because the global campaign to criminalize, or otherwise legally outlaw, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement has been spreading rapidly in numerous political and academic centers in the U.S. This judicial decision definitively declares those efforts -- when they manifest in the U.S. -- to be a direct infringement of basic First Amendment rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The enjoined law, enacted last year by the Kansas legislature, requires all state contractors -- as a prerequisite to receiving any paid work from the state -- "to certify that they are not engaged in a boycott of Israel." The month before the law was implemented, Esther Koontz, a Mennonite who works as a curriculum teacher for the Kansas public school system, decided that she would boycott goods made in Israel, motivated in part by a film she had seen detailing the abuse of Palestinians by the occupying Israeli government, and in part by a resolution enacted by the national Mennonite Church. The resolution acknowledged "the cry for justice of Palestinians, especially those living under oppressive military occupation for fifty years"; vowed to "oppose military occupation and seek a just peace in Israel and Palestine"; and urged "individuals and congregations to avoid the purchase of products associated with acts of violence or policies of military occupation, including items produced in [Israeli] settlements." A month after this law became effective, Koontz, having just completed a training program to teach new courses, was offered a position at a new Kansas school. But, as the court recounts, "the program director asked Ms. Koontz to sign a certification confirming that she was not participating in a boycott of Israel, as the Kansas Law requires." Koontz ultimately replied that she was unable and unwilling to sign such an oath because she is, in fact, participating in a boycott of Israel. As a result, she was told that no contract could be signed with her. Click Here to Read Whole Article Would you like to know how many people have read this article? Or how reputable the author is?

From National Memo After meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and White House chief of staff John Kelly and beseeching them not to publicly release a dubious, GOP-concocted hit report on the FBI, the bureau went public with its "grave concerns" on Wednesday. Clearly hitting the Republican's ongoing smear campaign led by House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes -- which is playing out against the backdrop of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia and obstruction of justice investigation -- the FBI statement said: "As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy." It's extremely rare for the FBI to issue public statements regarding pending intelligence matters, let alone to pick a fight with the White House. Then again, it's extremely rare for a major political party in this country to wage a months-long campaign to destroy the FBI in hopes of protecting their president who remains the center of a special counsel investigation. On Wednesday, moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin from West Virginia lashed out on the pending GOP mini-report, which emerged from the House Intelligence Committee, calling it a "scam" and "asinine." The rare FBI statement was certainly approved by Christopher Wray, the bureau's director, who was appointed by Trump last summer. The extraordinary development, and the fact that the FBI feels it needs to now go public regarding its battle with House Republicans and the White House, comes one week after Trump's own Department of Justice sent out a warning signal about the GOP's smear campaign. It "would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum," the Justice statement stressed. Democrats, members of the intelligence community, and officials at the Justice Department and FBI have stressed that the smear memo, which is basically just partisan oppo research, does not provide an accurate description of how the FBI has functioned with regard to the Russia investigation.

See original here President Trump delivered his first State of the Union Tuesday night. During the lengthy address, Trump announced he'd signed an executive order keeping the Guantanamo Bay military prison open, and escalated his warmongering rhetoric against North Korea, calling the North Korean government "depraved" and warning it poses a nuclear risk to the United States. For more, we speak with Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation, America's oldest weekly magazine. This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. AMY GOODMAN: President Trump delivered his first State of the Union Tuesday, claiming this is, quote, "our new American moment." He focused heavily on immigration, renewing his call for a border wall, while linking immigration to terrorism. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: In recent weeks, two terrorist attacks in New York were made possible by the visa lottery and chain migration. In the age of terrorism, these programs present risks we can just no longer afford. It's time to reform these outdated immigration rules and finally bring our immigration system into the 21st century. AMY GOODMAN: President Trump never mentioned the words "climate change" or "global warming," but he did acknowledge the recent deadly hurricanes and wildfires that devastated parts of the country. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: To everyone still recovering in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands -- everywhere -- we are with you, we love you, and we always will pull through together. Always. AMY GOODMAN: That was President Trump's only reference to Puerto Rico, where today FEMA is ending shipments of food and water, even though about a third of the island still has no electricity, over four months after Hurricane Maria struck. On the foreign policy front, Trump threatened North Korea again, suggested he'll start sending more prisoners to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo in Cuba, where no new prisoner has been sent in almost a decade. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I just signed, prior to walking in, an order directing Secretary Mattis, who is doing a great job -- thank you -- to re-examine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay. I am asking Congress to ensure that in the fight against ISIS and al-Qaeda we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down, wherever we find them. And in many cases, for them, it will now be Guantanamo Bay. AMY GOODMAN: The prison population at Guantanamo is currently 41, down from a high of 684 in 2003. President Trump also used the State of the Union to issue a veiled threat to federal workers. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: So, tonight I call on Congress to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people. AMY GOODMAN: Well, today we spend the hour looking at what President Trump said and didn't say during his State of the Union. We begin with Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation, America's oldest weekly magazine. Overall, your response to what you saw last night?

How the Humboldt Standard covered the assassination of JFK (Image by Ninian Reid) Details DMCA Had we gathered around a fireplace in 1944, we would have judged 56 year old visionary Vice President Henry Wallace to be a worthy successor to FDR, a cinch to become the 33rd President of the United States. Wallace defined the word 'Progressive'. President Roosevelt was hugely popular amongst the people. FDR was often on the same page with Marshall Stalin, and conversely at odds with Winston Churchill. The war had finally turned around as another Presidential Election drew near. The delegates were set to give the ticket an overwhelming stamp of approval by acclimation. I recommend viewing Oliver Stone's documentary THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1494191/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1 This prospect did not sit well with those who looked upon Vice President Wallace's idea of investing money in our nation and our people, as a threat to their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a world in their image. 'Wallace opposed the cold war, the arms race with the Soviet Union and racial segregation. He was a strong advocate of labor unions, national health insurance, public works jobs and women's equality. He would have been, without question, the most radical president in American history. He would have served out the remaining three years of FDR's fourth term and certainly would have sought to be elected on his own in 1948.' http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14297-henry-wallace-americas-forgotten-visionary The Money People gave priority to replacing Vice-President Wallace on the ticket, as did the 'Business Wing' of the Democratic Party. The end result was that MONEY insisted the popular Harry Wallace be replaced, and President Roosevelt allowed them to prevail. Harry Truman became the Vice President. Harry Truman was 61 when he became the 33rdPresident of the United States. In 1945, Major John Foster Dulles was 57 years old and was to serve as Secretary of State under President Eisenhower from 1953-1959.

Trump's SOTU Calls for More Spending on Nuclear Weapons and Galvanizes Extremism Max Blumenthal, Phyllis Bennis, and Norman Solomon discuss President Trump's State of the Union. Rather than deliver a serious address, they say Trump offered a simplistic narrative designed to galvanize extremism. SHARMINI PERIES: It's The Real News Network. I'm Sharmini Peries coming to you from Baltimore. In Washington DC, President Trump delivered the State of the Union on Tuesday night to discuss foreign policy angles of his speech. I'm being joined by a very esteemed panel of guests. Phyllis Bennis, she is a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. Max Blumenthal, he's the senior editor of the Gray Zone Project, now housed here at the Real News Network. And, Norman Solomon, a journalist with exposefacts.org, and he's also the co-founder of rootsaction.org. I thank you all for joining me today. MAX BLUMENTHAL: Thanks for having me. NORMAN SOLOMON: Glad to be here. SHARMINI PERIES: All right. Let me go to Phyllis first, but I just want to say that I will give each of you about a minute and a half at the beginning of this conversation to lay out your key strokes in terms of the speech delivered by Trump. So, Phyllis, let me start with you. PHYLLIS BENNIS: Well I would say that the position of Trump's nation is extreme. This was a speech designed to placate his base. The beginnings of it, the first 45 minutes or more, was really very much a campaign-style speech. He bragged, taking responsibility for everything that he believes to be good that's happened in this country, and I think that it was interesting that he spent very little time on the international issues. That was very much at the end of his speech, and with really no new changes in foreign policy. He repeated positions, extremist positions, that are guaranteed to be popular with his base, including keeping Guantanamo Prison open and sending more terrorists there, including generalized threats, but again, nothing new and different against North Korea. With Iran, calling the Iran nuclear deal terrible, the worst deal ever and calling on Congress to deal with it, without any specifics. So no new announcements of actual policy shifts. Bragging about planning to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and identifying Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and I think in that context, again, he's playing to his base bragging about what he's already done, but with very little intentionality of what comes next. This was very much an announcement that the extremism of his policies are going to continue, that the positions that he has staked out so far are not going to change. There was a rather extraordinary moment when he talked about the need for militarism, really, without using the term. He said that complacency and concessions only invite aggression, and that weakness is a straight path to conflict, and that only unmatched power is the surest means of our defense. So, it was essentially another assertion of raw power as the basis of his foreign policy, while bragging in only slightly coded terms about the racism that undergirds his actual policies, whether it be on the questions of immigration, the questions of the response towards terrorist attacks anywhere in the world. Racism at the core of his policies, that is to remain unchanged. SHARMINI PERIES: All right. Norman, your take on the speech? NORMAN SOLOMON: Well it was really a reaffirmation of a kind of extreme, "Let's brag about what an empire we are," but coated in just the most glorious light. Really, what we're seeing is a normalization of what Phyllis I think quite properly referred to as extremism, and to some extent, that's inevitable. You make somebody president, you put him in that kind of environment with the Congress around him, and despite the opposition from many in the mass media, still, the sort of reflexive deference to him that we saw on cable TV tonight ... the reality is that Trump has normalized what are extremely militaristic positions, and he's been able to drag the so-called "center" more in his direction. So the terms that the debate takes place upon, and of course, he talked about at the beginning wanting common ground, but what he really wants and is largely achieving, or rather the people who are hitched to his wagon are achieving, is a way to drag the entire debate such it has been on foreign policy in the U.S. more and more to a flagrant and increasingly simplistic narrative. And of course that speech was basically about narrative. It was somewhere in the realm of, "See Dick, see Jane, see Spot, see them run." It would be hard to conceive of a more simplistic worldview. But of course, it's in the service of neoliberal economic agendas and extreme ramped-up militarism. SHARMINI PERIES: All right, Max. Let's get your take on this. MAX BLUMENTHAL: Well, yeah. I agree with all of the comments by Phyllis and Norman. I sort of regret agreeing to this because I had to watch that, and I now feel like I'm 20 years older. I mean, I'm very glad to be here, but that was one of the most atrocious State of the Unions I've seen. Trump's delivery was lethargic and lugubrious. It was basically a reality show with Trump narrating the heroic stories of various American archetypes held together with a Kulturkampf, with a culture-war demagoguery on nativism like we've seen from no other president, and Norman's right. It's been normalized under Trump. I've heard a lot of pundits say that Trump's speech was surprisingly normal.

From Other Words The breaks seldom pay for themselves -- and put employees of local businesses out of work. Employees at an Amazon warehouse (Image by (Photo: Scott Lewis / Flickr)) Details DMCA Governors and mayors insist that giving our tax dollars to corporations to lure them to move to our cities is good public policy. The corporations create jobs, those workers pay taxes, and -- voila! -- the giveaway pays for itself! Does it really work that way? Unfortunately, no. Good Jobs First tracked the 386 incentive deals since 1976 that gave at least $50 million to a corporation, then tallied the number of jobs created. The average cost per job was $658,427 -- each! That's far more than cities and states can recover through any kinds of taxes those jobholders would pay in their lifetimes. The rosy job-creation claims by incentive dealmakers also tend to be bogus, because they don't subtract the number of jobs lost as a result of these deals. Amazon, for example, has leaned on officials in every major metro area to subsidize its creation of a nationwide network of warehouses, data centers, and other facilities. In a 2016 report titled "Amazon's Stranglehold," the Institute for Local Self-Reliance found that more than half of Amazon's facilities had been built with government subsidies. And Good Jobs First found that since 2005, Amazon has received more than $1 billion from taxpayers to build its private business. Each handout was made in the name of local workers -- and, yes, Amazon does employ thousands. But the subsidies enable the retail giant to undercut local, unsubsidized competitors, driving them out of business and causing devastating job losses that greatly outnumber jobs gained. The Institute reports that at the end of 2015, Amazon employed 146,000 people in its US operations. But the taxpayer-supported giant had meanwhile eliminated some 295,000 U.S. retail jobs.

See original here As if the nation is not in enough trouble, there is another sign that with Republicans in control of all three branches of government, the rush toward America as a theocracy is ramping up. At the rate Republicans and Trump are pandering to the evangelical fanatics, America is not far off from being run like Iran and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Whether the religious right admits it or not, the majority hew to a mindset that only Christians are real Americans worthy of certain privileges and rights. It is likely true that mindset is substantiated by Republicans who work tirelessly to elevate evangelicals to a position of authority over the rest of the population with ever-increasing incidences of theocratic legislation. The GOP has, in fact, given the religious right purview over women's access to healthcare as well as the legal right to discriminate against any American unwilling to toe the evangelical line. There have even been murmurings that only evangelicals should be allowed to vote and that only Christians should run for and hold political office. Evangelicals still claim that America was created as a Christian theocracy and the Constitution was written by the god of the Christian bible. Now an emboldened religious Republican has introduced legislation that says only evangelicals can enter into the institution of marriage performed in a church. Despite the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges nearly three years ago, religious Republicans are still crusading to deny same-sex couples the legal right to be married. In a new attack on same-sex marriage, a really religious Republican in the Missouri state legislature, some theocrat named T.J. Berry, introduced House Bill 1424 to restrict marriage in the "show me state" to "people of faith." It is noteworthy to mention that Berry is as real a religious Republican as any evangelical fanatic and an ordained deacon of the First Baptist Church In Kearney, Missouri. Berry's theocratic legislation defines marriage as being a "solemnized union that takes place only inside a church." Note that it doesn't say inside a mosque, a synagogue, or a temple by design; Muslims, Buddhists or Jews do not worship or get "married" in a "church." If Berry's bill becomes law, any marriages that "were to take place outside of the church" will not be legal or recognized as legal marriages by the theocrats running Missouri; they will be domestic unions regardless the couple's gender. The First Baptist deacon Berry proudly admits that his bill's purpose is redefining marriage in favor of "the church." He said the only way a person in Missouri can be legally married under his legislation is "to go through a religious ceremony in a church." Any couple refusing to take that route can get a civil document from the government, but they will not be legally married in Missouri. The Legal Director at the Human Rights Campaign, Sarah Warbelow, explained the obvious that the law will hurt LGBTQ married couples in Missouri. She also said that restricting "marriage" to "church weddings calls into question all couples' rights;" particularly those who were not married in a church in a "solemnized union." Ms.Warbelow said: "It's hard to believe [this legislation is] something most conservatives support. Most Americans think that marriage is an important institution, and they don't want to get rid of it." Most Americans are not running the government any longer so it doesn't matter what they want or don't want. Evangelicals are running the government despite their minority position, and along with their money machine the Koch brothers, they fully control the fate of the nation by wielding authority over Republicans. It is noteworthy that this particularly nasty evangelical legislation is not about "getting rid of marriage as an institution;" evangelicals love solemnized man-woman church marriages. Berry's bill simply restricts participation in the "important institution of marriage" to the evangelical faithful, but only if they are wed in a church. It is the only way Republican evangelicals claim they can protect churches and businesses from "the gay encroachment" and protect religious bigots refusing to do their taxpayer-funded jobs. That was another urgent reason for the theocratic law. The bill's supporters claim the new law will be "the remedy to controversies across the country involving government employees who object and refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples for religious reasons." No, the remedy for government employees who object to following the law of the land, and willfully violate the 14th Amendment, is immediate termination of their taxpayer-funded employment. And if it were possible, they should face charges for violating terms of employment as government employees for refusing to support the Constitution. Nearly all government and public employees from presidents to senators to law enforcement to school teachers swear an oath to support the U.S. Constitution; and that includes the 14th Amendment that evangelical Republicans claim violates their religious liberty. Critics of the legislation concur with the HRC's legal director in warning that it would cause LGBT couples, as well as all other non-religious couples, a great deal of trouble. It is almost certain that "causing all non-religious couples a great deal of trouble" is an important aspect of this particular theocratic abomination. Like many Americans, the executive director of a Missouri advocacy group, the Center Project, is "irritated and frustrated" over the religious Republicans' never-ending assault on equality and the concept of progress. Dion Wisniewski said: "No matter how much progress we make, there is always going to be a push from conservative [evangelical] groups to roll back protections for individuals or enact new laws to make it more difficult to live normal lives. Conservative groups are putting pressure on the legislature to protect the 'biblical definition' of marriage, even though they aren't being forced to perform these services." The evangelical fanatics supporting this particular theocratic edict never elaborated on exactly what "gay encroachment" entails, but it likely has everything to do with gays having equal rights. It is not out of the realm of possibility that when evangelical theocracy is officially the law of the land, the LGBTQ community will be banned from America, much less "evangelical churches and businesses."

There's no way to measure just how cheery this period really is -- not if you're the CEO of a major company. Just as the World Economic Summit was opening in Davos, Switzerland, and President Donald Trump was flying in to put his mark on the moment, PwS, a global consulting firm, released its annual survey of 1,300 CEOs. "The report," wrote the Washington Post's Tory Newmyer, "found CEO optimism at a record high -- with 57% predicting growth would accelerate worldwide this year -- after lodging its biggest single-year leap, up from just 29% who predicted as much last year." In the wake of the passage of staggering tax cuts for corporations and the truly wealthy, the most ebullient among them were, of course, North American CEOs! And that wasn't even the best news, not if you lived in a penthouse somewhere on this planet anyway. As Davos began, Oxfam issued "Reward Work, Not Wealth," its new report indicating that "82% of the wealth generated last year went to the richest one percent of the global population, while the 3.7 billion people who make up the poorest half of the world saw no increase in their wealth." Oh, and here's a footnote of further cheer from Oxfam: "It takes just four days for a CEO from one of the top five global fashion brands to earn what a Bangladeshi garment worker will earn in her lifetime. In the U.S., it takes slightly over one working day for a CEO to earn what an ordinary worker makes in a year." In that context, Donald Trump gave an America First, exceptionalist pep talk at Davos filled with expectable falsehoods, lies, and exaggerations to a crowd -- "some of the remarkable citizens from all over the world," as he put it -- primed to applaud (though there were a few hisses and boos and the rare protest, too). "There has never been a better time to hire, to build, to invest, and to grow in the United States," the American president insisted. "America is open for business, and we are competitive once again... I will always put America first... but America first does not mean America alone. When the United States grows, so does the world... America is roaring back, and now is the time to invest in the future of America. We have dramatically cut taxes to make America competitive. We are eliminating burdensome regulations at a record pace. We are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean, responsive, and accountable. And we are ensuring our laws are enforced fairly." Yes, indeed, it could all hardly be fairer -- if you happen to be a CEO or a billionaire. There's only one possible small hitch in the general global exuberance and, maybe because it's so minor, few in a media world obsessed 24/7 with the president and his team have even bothered to bring it up. That's why we need TomDispatchregular Nomi Prins, author of All the Presidents' Bankers, right now. Who else even thinks to point out that the millionaire and billionaire deregulators extraordinaire of the Trump administration might be taking a "brand-new America" (as the president called it) down a rather old path leading to... well, not to put too fine a point on it, economic meltdown. But let Prins, whose must-read new book, Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World, is slated to appear in May, fill you in herself. Tom Trump's Financial Arsonists The Next Financial Crisis -- Not If, But When By Nomi Prins There's been lots of fire and fury around Washington lately, including a brief government shutdown. In Donald Trump's White House, you can hardly keep up with the ongoing brouhahas from North Korea to Robert Mueller's Russian investigation, while it already feels like ages since the celebratory mood over the vast corporate tax cuts Congress passed last year. But don't be fooled: none of that is as important as what's missing from the picture. Like a disease, in the nation's capital it's often what you can't see that will, in the end, hurt you most. Amid a roaring stock market and a planet of upbeat CEOs, few are even thinking about the havoc that a multi-trillion-dollar financial system gone rogue could inflict upon global stability. But watch out. Even in the seemingly best of times, neglecting Wall Street is a dangerous idea. With a rag-tag Trumpian crew of ex-bankers and Goldman Sachs alumni as the only watchdogs in town, it's time to focus, because one thing is clear: Donald Trump's economic team is in the process of making the financial system combustible again. Collectively, the biggest U.S. banks already have their get-out-out-of-jail-free cards and are now sitting on record profits after, not so long ago, triggering sweeping unemployment, wrecking countless lives, and elevating global instability. (Not a single major bank CEO was given jail time for such acts.) Still, let's not blame the dangers lurking at the heart of the financial system solely on the Trump doctrine of leaving banks alone. They should be shared by the Democrats who, under President Barack Obama, believed, and still believe, in the perfection of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. While Dodd-Frank created important financial safeguards like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, even stronger long-term banking reforms were left on the sidelines. Crucially, that law didn't force banks to separate the deposits of everyday Americans from Wall Street's complex derivatives transactions. In other words, it didn't resurrect the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 (axed in the Clinton era). Wall Street is now thoroughly emboldened as the financial elite follows the mantra of Kelly Clarkston's hit song: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Since the crisis of 2007-2008, the Big Six U.S. banks -- JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley -- have seen the share price of their stocks significantly outpace those of the S&P 500 index as a whole. Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, the nation's largest bank (that's paid $13 billion in settlements for various fraudulent acts), recently even pooh-poohed the chances of the Democratic Party in 2020, suggesting that it was about time its leaders let banks do whatever they wanted. As he told Maria Bartiromo, host of Fox Business's Wall Street Week, "The thing about the Democrats is they will not have a chance, in my opinion. They don't have a strong centrist, pro-business, pro-free enterprise person." This is a man who was basically gifted two banks, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, by the U.S government during the financial crisis. That present came as his own company got cheap loans from the Federal Reserve, while clamoring for billions in bailout money that he swore it didn't need. Dimon can afford to be brazen. JPMorgan Chase is now the second most profitable company in the country. Why should he be worried about what might happen in another crisis, given that the Trump administration is in charge? With pro-business and pro-bailout thinking reigning supreme, what could go wrong? Protect or Destroy?

From Philly.com The State of the Union is strong. I mean, President Trump didn't trip and tumble off the platform in a real life homage to Chevy Chase, or press a red Staples button on the podium and announce that he'd just launched a fleet of cruise missiles toward North Korea, or order special counsel Robert Mueller led into the House of Representatives blindfolded and in handcuffs, or gaze out toward Melania and ask for a divorce (since the state of his union is reportedly weak). As one cable TV pundit solemnly declared afterwards, "Donald Trump became president tonight." OK, actually I wrote that at 7:39 p.m., 81 minutes before the speech even began -- but we all know someone must have said that. The truth? A teleprompter just rolled off the best speech of Donald Trump's presidency, a sniffle-punctuated litany of praise for God, the troops and mythical clean coal from America's first reality-show president. And Teleprompter Trump certainly said ... some of the right things. He promised Democrats that he's ridiculed, such as Cryin' Chuck Schumer and Sen. Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren, that he is now "extending an open hand to work with members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans, to protect our citizens, of every background, color and creed." That statement explicitly excluded 800,000 "Dreamers" facing imminent deportation to nations they barely know, but the president did pledge to work for some kind of deal on immigration and to finally do something about America's crumbling infrastructure. He also hailed the heroes of Houston's flood and the Las Vegas and congressional softball shootings -- a splendid and praiseworthy moment that nonetheless allowed the president to address those topics without mentioning climate change or America's lax gun laws, two of the many real-life problems that don't exist in Trump World. And any would-be immigration deal was undercut by his shameful willingness to demagogue a handful of murder cases to stir up xenophobia against all migrants, especially brown ones.

What is not established, however, is whether there are any meaningful differences between the devices. While GINA guidelines do indicate that not all are the same - a view echoed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommendations,[4] which state that data for MDIs should be generated with a 'specific named spacer' - this view is not expressed in all guidelines. Two recent publications set out to address the impact of spacer design on drug delivery performance and look at potential implications for clinical use.Four similarly sized chambers were compared 'out of the box' in terms of statistical equivalence with the gold standard AEROCHAMBER PLUS chamber with respect to retention of drug particles within the device and the aerodynamic particle size distribution of the drug particles delivered. Only the AEROCHAMBER PLUS FLOW-VU chamber (Monaghan Medical Corporation) demonstrated an equivalent profile of dose retention and delivery versus the reference chamber. The Compact Space Chamber Plus (Medical Developments), the OptiChamber Diamond (Philips Respironics, Inc), and InspiraChamber (Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc) devices all retained approximately twice as much drug, delivering around half the dose and showing non-equivalent performance compared with the AEROCHAMBER PLUS FLOW-VU chamber and reference chamber (pretreated AEROCHAMBER PLUS chamber).Lead author, Dr Sanjeeva Dissanayake, has recently published a literature review in Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, which provides further support for these findings. In considering the important attributes of such delivery devices, the review notes a shift in emphasis from chamber size and shape to other aspects, such as consistency of drug delivery, static charge reduction, valve performance, and factors optimizing facemask effectiveness (such as flexibility and seal). Despite the general lack of published clinical studies that confirm the therapeutic benefits of such differences, the AEROCHAMBER 'family' of chambers has amassed an impressive body of clinical evidence. Most recently, a real-world database study[5] has demonstrated improved clinical benefits and reduced resource utilization use with the AEROCHAMBER PLUS FLOW-VU chamber versus other chambers in patients with asthma. A study specifically looking at the FLOW-VU inhalation indicator has also shown benefits for carer confidence in dose delivery, and improved care-giver preference and quality of life.[6]Dr Dissanayake commented, 'The in vitro equivalence study results and the literature review findings provide strong support for the EMA guideline recommendations that data for MDIs should be generated with specific spacer devices, and further reinforce the view that superficially similar chambers should not automatically be considered to be interchangeable - even if superficially similar'.About Monaghan Medical Corporation (MMC, USA)MMC offers leading aerosol drug delivery devices and respiratory management products including AEROECLIPSE II BAN, AEROCHAMBER PLUS aVHC and the AEROBIKA device exclusively in the United States. MMC's strength lies in product development around core capabilities in mechanical design complimented by collaboration with a state-of-the-art aerosol research laboratory. MMC focuses on developing cost-efficient, outcome-based solutions for its customers. (About AEROCHAMBER brand valved holding chambers (VHC), including the AEROCHAMBER PLUS FLOW-VU AVHCDeveloped in 1983 to address the needs of asthma and COPD patients having difficulty in taking their MDI medications correctly, the AEROCHAMBER brand of chamber has innovated continuously to improve patient ease of use and quality of life as well as clinical outcomes and healthcare system savings. The AEROCHAMBER brand is the global leader of chambers, with safety and efficacy validated in numerous third party clinical evaluations amongst various patient populations; it is the chamber most recommended by leading MDI pharmaceutical companies.[7] AEROCHAMBER PLUS FLOW-VU chamber is designed to deliver the intended prescribed dose via the MDI, similar to using an MDI with perfect technique. An additional feature is the incorporation of the FLOW-VU inspiratory indicator for the care-giver to observe effective inhalation. The FLOW-VU indicator provides real time feedback confirming an effective inhalation and ensures that there are no leakages of ambient air into the space between facemask and face, that could prevent medication delivery altogether.
