    Israeli think tank: Don’t destroy ISIS; it’s a “useful tool” against Iran, Hezbollah, Syria
    According to a think tank that does contract work for NATO and the Israeli government, the West should not destroy ISIS, the fascist Islamist extremist group that is committing genocide and ethnically cleansing minority groups in Syria and Iraq.
    The think tank, known by its acronym BESA, is affiliated with Israel’s Bar Ilan University and has been supported by the Israeli government, the NATO Mediterranean Initiative, the U.S. embassy in Israel and the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.
    BESA also says it “conducts specialized research on contract to the Israeli foreign affairs and defense establishment, and for NATO.”

  2. The Israelis are making a mistake in thinking the guideline “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies in this case.

  3. Dallas judges shred the Constitution and steal millions from internet pioneer, Jeff Baron:

    ———————–
    Jeff Baron is a Dallas resident and U.S. citizen who was put into “virtual slavery” by U.S. District Court Judge Royal Furgeson after Baron settled an otherwise ordinary contract dispute in his court. Although Baron was never accused of any crime and had just resolved the dispute in Furgeson’s court, Furgeson seized the sum total of Baron’s personal property and possessions, including his home and car, and suspended nearly all of his civil rights, including his right to be represented by counsel, right to own property, right to earn income, and right to travel. Four years later, Baron was still in civil lockdown – even after the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the unlawful rulings and enjoined any further liquidation of Baron’s property.
    Immediately preceding Baron’s civil lockdown is the November 2013 auction and sale of 153,000 internet domain names owned by Baron’s company, Ondova, LLC. The domain names were auctioned to Trans, Ltd. for $5.2 million, reports the Dallas Observer, and can be traced back to Judge Furgeson. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Judge Furgeson’s court “overstepped its authority,” and the Observer notes that Furgeson’s “decision enabled a federal bankruptcy judge to order the November auction.”
    More than just an illegal transfer of domain names occurred in the lead-up to the unprecedented actions against Baron. Critics of Baron, including Judge Furgeson, allege that he was “hiring and firing” an endless parade of highly qualified lawyers, delaying justice and actually harming his own case, while Baron supporters cite widespread corruption. Baron also took Ondova into bankruptcy in 2009, immediately preceding a hearing to determine whether he was in contempt of court, according to the Dallas Observer.

  4. This supplements something about this that was published in “Science” about a year ago. It was suggested that dogs had some ability to interpret our emotions and react accordingly.

  5. Yep. Look at this:
    FBI Issues Alert After Voting Hack in Illinois and Arizona
    Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a “critical infrastructure,” giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid.
    The latest admissions of attacks could speed up that effort possibly including the upcoming presidential election, according to officials.
    “We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.
    “There’s a vital national interest in our election process, so I do think we need to consider whether it should be considered by my department and others critical infrastructure,” he said at media conference earlier this month hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
    (…We knew it was coming…)

  6. This doesn’t surprise me.
    Obama’s been acting like a self-appointed dictator and since his time’s running out, why not go for broke? What’s stopping him from declaring martial law, suspending the Constitution, and postponing the election? He’s hasn’t treated the system with due respect for years.
