Russia: U.S. controlling an "international terrorist alliance"

September 29, 2016 by element115
“We can’t assess those statements as anything else but a call, a directive for action,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.

Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Kirby’s statement amounted to “the most frank confession by the U.S. side so far that the whole ‘opposition’ ostensibly fighting a ‘civil war’ in Syria is a U.S.-controlled international terrorist alliance.”

“What makes Kirby’s statement particularly shocking is that the scale of direct U.S. influence on terrorists’ activity is global and reaches as far as Russia,” he said.

The Ukrainian attack on Russia's embassy is an attack on democracy

September 18, 2016 by element115
Last night, the Russian Embassy in Kiev was attacked by home-made missiles, fireworks and other flaming projectiles.

The attack on Russia's embassy in Kiev and the official Ukrainian obstruction of Russian attempts to organise voting in the Duma elections by Russian citizens at the Russian embassy are not minor harassment. They are gross violations of international law and interference in the democratic right of Russian citizens to participate in the elections in their country.

TTIP protesters take to streets across Germany

by element115
Demonstrators took to the streets across Germany on Saturday to protest against the controversial new transatlantic trade agreement that would create the world’s biggest free market of 850 million consumers.

A recent survey in Germany found that about 28% of respondents doubted free trade would really bring benefits. Fifty-two percent thought it would lead to weaker standards and lower quality products.

Peter Gauweiler, who left Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and resigned as an MP in protest against her handling of the eurozone crisis, has called TTIP and Ceta “a danger for democracy”. Writing in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, he denounced the proposed special court as a “form of secular sharia of capitalist managers”.

September 16, 2016 by element115
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the target of one of the largest national security investigations in U.S. history, agreed on Thursday to hand himself over to authorities. There’s only one catch.

In exchange for his surrender, Assange is asking President Barack Obama to grant clemency to Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army private convicted in 2013 of leaking sensitive government files to WikiLeaks. Under the U.S. Constitution, Obama has the authority to pardon or commute the sentences of prisoners convicted of federal crimes.

Egyptian state media claims Isis is 'made up' and 9/11 was carried out by West to justify war on terror

by element115
A columnist for a state-run newspaper in Egypt has suggested the US invented Isis and set up the 9/11 attacks to justify its military interventions in the Middle East.

“Is it possible to believe the official version, from the US government, of the events of 11 September 2001?” wrote journalist Noha Al-Sharnoubi in Al-Ahram, a major national Egyptian newspaper owned by the government.

Ms Al-Sharnoubi said the World Trade Centre and Pentagon attacks could have been premeditated to "justify the war on terror” in her column, published on 23 August.

Israel's biggest threat is potential civil war, not Iran - ex Mossad chief

September 7, 2016 by element115
The most pressing threat to Israel is not Iran, but rather the increased polarization within Israeli society, former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo said in his first public appearance since leaving office in June.

“Internal division,” Pardo said, “can lead us to civil war – we are already on a path toward that. If a society crosses a certain line in its division and hatred, it is a real possibility to see a phenomenon like a civil war.”

The 'impossible' EM Drive is about to be tested in space

by element115
An actual EM Drive is about to be launched into space for the first time, so scientists can finally figure out - once and for all - if it really is possible for a rocket engine to generate thrust without any kind of exhaust or propellant.

The EM Drive - short for electromagnetic propulsion drive - purportedly works like this.
It uses electromagnetic waves as 'fuel', creating thrust by bouncing microwave photons back and forth inside a cone-shaped closed metal cavity. This causes the 'pointy end' of the EM Drive to accelerate in the opposite direction that the drive is going.
