Obama wants Morsi released…why?

In their time in power Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood trampled on the human rights of millions upon millions of Egyptians, drove the Egyptian economy into the ground, did everything they could to establish a full-fledged Islamic state and the supremacy of Islamic law (Sharia) in Egypt, presided over a government that would not and could not meet the needs of the people, especially the material needs, and were generally dragging Egypt and the Egyptian people out of the twenty-first century and back to the seventh, when Islam first came into existence. They were a brutal, savage and backward regime which was anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Israel, anti-anything that wasn’t Islamic, anti-everything that smacked of tolerance and modernity and were misogynistic in the extreme...their hatred and disgust for Americans, Jews, the West, Christians and Israel was palpable and their treatment of women, minorities and political opponents was beyond abhorrent.

Drones in the United States, good grief what’s next?

Americans are becoming more and more concerned about the use of drones in the United States as their use is widespread and increasing. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, 1,428 permits have been issued to drone operators in the U.S. since 2007 and 327 of them are still listed as active. Operators include police, universities and various state and federal departments and agencies. The Federal Aviation Administration also has a September, 2015 Congressional deadline to open airspace in the U.S. to drones, which will dramatically add to their numbers and increase their use.

Has Fordo been sabotaged?

Reports are coming out of Iran that a large explosion has destroyed much of Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility. Fordo is thought to be Iran’s second largest nuclear facility and plays a key role in Iran’s nuclear weapons development program. The reports have not been corroborated by any official Western source, yet, but it seems clear that a large explosion did in fact take place at Fordo, which is carved into a mountain and is considered to be impregnable to airstrikes and most bunker buster bombs.
