Hillary Clinton can be hawkish in her run for President because the right wing is stuck in war mongering.

The troops still at war for the USA has to come home. Fourteen years is ridiculous. 

The Vietnam War can be stated to have begun June 1955 under Eisenhower who sent supplies. Kennedy sent advisers and had decided against troops. Johnson was the president that sent troops in March of 1965. 

From 1955 to 1975 was a couple months short of 20 years, but, the troops were only there for less than ten years. So, the occupation of Afghanistan is second so far to that of Vietnam. 

We need to be out of there and allow the Afghans to defend their country. 

The 911 remembrance will continue no differently than Pearl Harbor. But, the continued occupation of Afghanistan doesn't even relate to September 11th anymore. 

The occupation of Afghanistan is about the Taliban. It is time to leave the region and let them settle the peace.

It never fails.

Every time I put Michael Moore on this blog the government interrupts my internet. Every time. It doesn't matter if it is a Michael Moore reference or the TCFF, the government crawlers attack my computer. Amazing.

How long since Fahrenheit 911? Eleven years, right? 

Amazing. 

Vladimir Putin and Russia doesn't even do that. Seriously. The USA has far too much money.  

Homeland Security needs to be looking for the bad guys, not citizens. It is shameful. 

This is what our tax dollars are doing, looking for supporters of anti-war movements. Far too much money. 

Michael Moore is a citizen of the USA. He is a brilliant documentarian and that is the real issue. He is a brilliant man with a long history of fighting for the little guys. 

I never get this type of computer disruption when I do advocacy regarding the planet. It is ridiculous. It is harassment of completely innocent people that happen to believe the USA military can be a wayward product of the USA government. Go, ahead, deny it. The USA military, not it's soldiers. The USA military establishment needs to deny it has fought completely unnecessary wars. Go ahead, deny it. 

See, the Republicans will cut spending for the most "W"rong reasons in the world. It will cut food stamp benefits, but, don't touch the Department of Homeland Security. Go ahead, cut spending to Planned Parenthood and cause another decrease of the bond rating for the USA. It will increase the interest rate on the national debt and use up more tax dollars for unproductive purposes. But, whatever Congress does it should not cut the military budget and money for border guards to our southern border. Let 'em starve in the USA.

Cuba (click here) has said it will release more than 3,500 prisoners in a goodwill gesture ahead of a visit by Pope Francis.

The government in Havana says those to be freed include inmates due for conditional release next year, as well as a number of foreign prisoners. 

Those found guilty of crimes against state security will not be eligible, seemingly ruling out several high-profile political prisoners.

The Pope will make a three-day visit to the island next week....

TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto International Film Festival (click here) opened its 40th year with a gala double feature of Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Moore. 

The opening night premieres of "Demolition" by Quebecois filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallee ("Dallas Buyers Club") and Moore's "Where to Invade Next" made an unlikely pair to kick off Toronto's fall-movie launching pad on Thursday. "Demolition" won't hit theaters until April, and "Where to Invade Next" is being shopped for buyers. Filmed clandestinely, Moore's first film in six years wasn't known to exist until its Toronto debut was announced last month. 

Of the two, Moore's documentary held more surprises. While it had been expected to be an investigation of the American military industrial complex, Moore does the invading in the film himself, traveling to other countries (mostly in Europe) to find "America's soul." 

Moore's premise is that decades of patriotic chest-thumping and constant war have prevented the United States from taking care of its own democracy. In Slovenia, he finds free university; in Finland, he marvels at its top education system; in Italy, he sees eight weeks of annual vacation and strong unions....

Watching the air attacks on MSNBC (I have watched it every year. There is always something new I hear.) it became clear why Donald Trump became political.

One World Trade Center was  1,368 feet (417 m). 

Trump International Center in Chicago is 1,389 feet (423 m)

Trump Tower in New York City is far less in height than the Chicago tower is 861 feet high.

Donald Trump has a vested interest in USA policy regarding national security. I had put those pieces together until I was watching that film. 

I am sorry the attacks of 911 has had such a profound impact on his life. That apology goes to the owners of all the skyscrapers that are a point of pride for USA cities. 

Donald Trump is very serious about his candidacy. Very. Interesting guy. It begins to explain his tenacity.

The latest developments as European governments (click here) rush to cope with the huge number of people moving across Europe. All times local (CET):

11:30 a.m.
The governor of Greece's northern Aegean region says authorities have managed to register 20,000 refugees and migrants who had been on the island of Lesbos in the space of three days, significantly easing the overcrowding on the island.
Regional governor Christiana Kalogirou told private Skai television Friday that the number of refugees and migrants on the island had reached about 30,000. Greece's caretaker government, appointed about two weeks ago to lead the country to Sept. 20 early elections, sent extra staff to speed up registration and chartered two extra ferries to help move people to the mainland.
More than 250,000 people have reached Greece so far this year, the vast majority arriving on islands from the nearby Turkish coast. About half of all those who arrive do so on Lesbos. Few, if any, want to remain in financially stricken Greece....

The toddler that died when migrants' boat capsized was the son of the driver.




September 11, 2015

A woman on the same boat as Alan Kurdi (click here) says the boy's father is a people smuggler who begged her not to dob him in.
Zainab Abbas said Abdullah Kurdi had lied to the world after the image of his dead three-year-old son on a Turkish beach sparked a global outpouring of support for Syrian refugees.
"Yes, it was Abdullah Kurdi driving the boat," Ms Abbas told Network Ten through her cousin Lara Tahseen on Friday.
Ms Abbas also lost two children when the boat capsized shortly after leaving Bodrum for the Greek islands.
After the tragedy, Mr Kurdi told the media he took over steering the boat after the captain panicked and jumped ship.
But Ms Abbas said Mr Kurdi was the driver of the boat, and the man she paid to book her passage told her it would be safe because the driver was taking his wife and two children....

Anti-War Activists need to rally on September 11th. Next year is the 15th anniversary of the attacks within the USA as stated by the CIA. Zucotti Park is opposite the site of the Memorial.

It might not be difficult getting a permit either. The President stays at the White House these days. 

I am sure the 911 families never expected the attacks would turn into a forever war. The children are becoming adults.

Jindal "I think Trump has tapped into the frustration of Americans tired of the Washington establish." This statement from a man that just stated, "The Obama Administration has given us an Iran preparing for nuclear capacity, Planned Parenthood that sells body parts all over the country..." These are the politicians that embrace September 11th for all the wrong reasons. I think we need to get real about 911 politics. The politics has absolutely nothing to do with the dead.

14 years of remembering 911. People are not forgetting.

I don't know what is more bizarre, the chronic war of Bush or the people that opposed it and still do. When are peace activists going to realize the New York Times will never put them front and center to USA policy?

A Florida man (click here) is charged with plotting to set off an explosion at a 9/11 event. The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested 20-year-old Joshua Ryne Goldberg Thursday in Florida. Prosecutors say he told an online informant how to make the bomb he wanted.
Investigators originally thought the suspect was recruiting people to carry out attacks from a location in Australia, reports CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues.
It turns out Goldberg was in the U.S., in a home near Jacksonville, where he was taken into custody. He shares the home in Orange Park with his parents.
According to court documents, he had set his sights on bombing a 9/11 memorial event -- the Kansas City Stair Climb.
Investigators said he was communicating online with someone he thought was sympathetic to his cause but who was actually an FBI informant, and the online conversations were being monitored. According to investigators, Goldberg encouraged the informant to build a pressure cooker bomb similar to what was used in the Boston Marathon bombing....

Is the "London's Arm Fair" a violation of the UN Small Arms Treaty?

10 September 2015
By Cahal Milmo 

Regimes criticised (click here) for “appalling” human rights records have been extended official invitations by the Government to attend the world’s largest arms and security fair in London, The Independent can reveal.

The list of countries invited by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) to attend the Defence and Security Equipment International Exhibition (DSEI) exhibition next includes countries criticised by campaigners for gross infringements of civil liberties, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Egypt and Thailand.
The invitation to Azerbaijan has been made despite a rebuke from a Government minister over its draconian imprisonment of a journalist for “questionable allegations”. Foreign Office minister David Lidington said Britain “will take every opportunity to raise concerns over human rights” in the country....

The UK needs to shutter this event forever based in international treaties. Anyone in attendance of the fair should it go forward that has a record of human rights abuses should be arrested and sent to the World Court at the Hague.

That standard should hold for every arms fair in any country that are signators to the UN Small Arms Treaty. 

How much of the small arms market is supported by gun manufacturers?

I have absolutely no doubt Daesh representatives will be there. Mercenaries. So, the UK's Cameron states the country should oppose Daesh in Syria while it accepts migrants/refugees. Why bother if arms dealers are sanctioned? The UK and other NATO allies allow the purchase of arms that eventually will be used to kill NATO soldiers.

According to the NRA:(click here) “This treaty threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme [and is full of regulations and requirements that are] blatant attacks on the constitutional rights of every law-abiding American.”
 
The NRA warns that the ATT “urges record keeping of end users, directing importing countries to provide information to an exporting country regarding arms transfers, including ‘end use or end user documentation’ for a ‘minimum of ten years.'” This information on end users is a de-facto registry and one that could be “made available to foreign governments.”...

How many CIA and Interpol will be attending to provide assistance to rebel groups? How many of so called Iran's terrorist networks do there shopping here and in markets like it?

All of the commission members are to serve four-year terms....

There is peril in the Syrian crisis. The peril is genocide. Where a country is emptied of it's people and they are scattered to the wind, the genetic dilution of the ethnicity is considered genocide.

The genocide developing with the Syrian people are attributable to Daesh. I can't help believe the UN Security Council should have a resolution to provide assistance in returning to Syria should the country ever end it's civil war within this generation's time.

There is no doubt the people of Syria need relief from the killing of Daesh. But, the dynamics are really odd. I am not sure the world has ever faced such issues before in the way genocide manifests in Syria.

The Syrian Civil War has a component that is charismatic and it carries a demand for young Muslims internationally to turn against their government and society to terrorize countries into surrender. But, that is only one aspect.

Given the abandonment of Syria by it's people because of the current regime there is also emigrants to from The West into Syria, including Australia. No one ever hears about young people from Russia going to Syria to join Daesh, but, I am sure they exist especially from the Caucus Mountains. I am not aware of Muslims in China.

Oddly enough Russia is an ally of Assad and some of their young people may very well be affiliated with Daesh. The entire dynamic that is Daesh is abhorrent to every nation on Earth except Daesh itself.

But, how does the world address the dynamics that is Daesh in Syria. The massive abandonment of Syria by it's own people and replaced with international movements of a breed of extremists from other countries into Syria. I am not sure the global community has ever faced such an enemy before. Some of it is due to the digital world. This is a unique problem in history. But, I think the best way to mark this in time is to develop a resolution that carries the concern for the ethnic displacement of the Syrian people.

The real surprise was the complete surrender of what was considered a well organized and armed Iraqi military. That was astonishing. No one expected that. Complete abandonment of their homeland at the most minor attack. That dynamic still occurs. It happened as late as Palmyra. It seems as though Daesh casts a shadow and human beings scatter. 

WWII faced a monster similar to this, however, the Third Reich was mostly interested in killing Jews. I think the Third Reich was far more contemplative than Daesh. One enemy of Germany could make the German march across Europe and into Asia perhaps palatable. 

Maybe it is time for Secretary General  Ban Ki-moon to address the general assembly. I think the world needs some guidance. This movement of people is not new. It is new to Europe. Jordan and other countries in the region have accepted some of the emigration of Syrians.

Donald Trump does not come across as a "Jesus Freak." Basically, that is what Jindal is stating. Everyone can see how successful Jindal has been nationally.

I suppose Donald Trump needs to figure out if endorsement of the Bible is enough when it comes to the Southern Strategy.

And it is a shame really. They conduct this 'ying and yang' aspect of journalism regardless of who they endorse. 

They did the same thing with Barak Obama. They think the American people can't feel it. It is palpable. They pulled that stunt with the terrorist threats in regard to the Olympics. That was dangerous and out of character of a news agency in the middle of NYC.

The NY Times has become silly in some ways. I trust their recipes and entertainment section, but, not much else. 

I don't consider the NY Times a friend anymore. The change was intentional during the Bush years. I want to say it was Nicholas Kristof that wrote an Op-Ed in the early years of "W." It stated there was a better way of opposing the Bush White House than being direct. I read that and I knew the NY Times was hopelessly lost. I never took Kristof's advice and rarely 'join the crowd' for populous reasons. Earth means more to me than that.

The reality of the Clinton candidacy is the fact she is a woman and has an uphill battle opposing the "White Man's Party." The NY Times is creating too much head winds for the Democrats. Go figure. You can hear it too in the Cuomo administration, too. 

I guess the best way to say it is the NY Times taught Democrats to go along to get along.

Vanunu is a former employee at the Dimona reactor.

September 10, 2015
By Roi Yanovsky

Nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu (click here) was arrested on Thursday morning, likely due to the interview he gave Channel 2 last Friday. He will be brought in front of a judge later on Thursday. 


He was arrested by the Central Unit of the Jerusalem Police, in coordination with the Shin Bet, under whose strict surveillance he has been his release from prison in 2004.

As part of the conditions of his parole, he was not allowed to leave Israel for a year, required to report his movements, barred from coming near the Palestinian Authority, and more.


Adv. Yemima Abramovich, Vanunu's defense attorney, said that the interview was not a breach of his parole.

"He is allowed to talk to Israeli journalists," she said. "The interview was approved by the military censor."

"I've been Mordechai Vanunu's lawyer for many years," she added. "He is out of prison, but isn't really free. It's impossible for him to live a normal life."

Vanunu denounced Shin Bet and Mossad for exacting personal revenge at him...

Israel always denies a nuclear program. Ehud Olmert once disclosed a program in an interview. (click here)

Olmert's life was never the same either. I am sure the arrest was related to the USA vote.

The IAEA knows about Israel's program. It isn't as though there isn't a regulatory agency involved. I would not exactly call it a secret.

On 7 April 2010 the Director General (click here) sent letters to the Governments of all Member States of the Agency requesting them to inform him of any views that they might have with respect to meeting the objectives of GC(53)/RES/174 . The 42 replies from Governments and the High Representative of the European Union, on behalf of the EU, received to date, are reproduced in Annex 2 to this report 5.... 

I found this report on the internet. It isn't like I am hacking into Israel's top secret documents. What is the problem that this man can't live a life without harassment? 

The Supreme Leader is talking 'junk' to his people in that Israel is going to be gone from the Middle East in 25 years. This is a man already 79 years old and he thinks he has influence in Iran in 25 years. It's nonsense. Israel should not be so paranoid. 

Israel is embarrassing itself and it's allies.

Japan's severe weather has washed more radiated water into the Pacific Ocean.

TOKYO - The Fukushima plant, (click here) which suffered a nuclear accident in 2011, has been found to be leaking contaminated water into the sea following heavy rainfall in the region caused by typhoon Etau, a spokesperson of Fukushima's operator confirmed to EFE Thursday.

Tokyo Electric Power, TEPCO, the plant's operator, is currently analyzing the magnitude of the accident, but said that the water leaked into the Pacific Ocean was not highly affected by radiation and did not pose a risk to the environment, the source added.

The leaks have been caused in the embankments around the tanks where highly radioactive water is stored after they are used to cool the reactors, and could have been caused by heavy rainfall which led to the accumulation of excessive amount of water the pipelines of the installation....

It is unfair to all the candidates if an assessment isn't reported along with the poll.

There would be a shift in the DISTRIBUTION of votes if Vice President Biden enters the race.

September 9, 2015
By Brent Budowsky

If Vice President Joe Biden (click here) announces he is running for president, the big winner, by far, will be Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Mr. Biden will take far more votes from Hillary Clinton than he would take from Mr. Sanders, who might well vault into first place in a three-way race that would quickly eliminate all other Democratic contenders.

The current wave of favorable press that the Draft Biden campaign is receiving would subside and reverse shortly after a Biden announcement. It would soon be apparent that the Draft Biden effort is a limited campaign, without strong grassroots support, and not a movement that would have any appeal to current Sanders supporters, who would remain rock-solid in support of Mr. Sanders....

The honest assessment is that the beloved Senator Sanders has gained seven percent since the poll in July. Vice President Biden gained five percent since July. that is a shift of twelve percentage points. That is the exact percentage Hillary Clinton lost in the poll. What the distribution would be without the Vice President is anyone's guess at this point, but, the fact Senator Sanders pulled seven percent from Hillary Clinton is significant. People are unhappy and Hillary Clinton needs to address that.

I think the former Secretary probably has internal polls that show her way forward. She needs to address outcomes in New Hampshire and Iowa in a way that provides confidence in her candidacy.

Senator Sanders has always been revered by his constituents. This "Bernie Barn" (click here) is no surprise. Recently, in an interview Senator Sanders straightened out the press when he stated he was a Progressive. He isn't a socialist regardless of the faux labels by the right wing. His policies are not socialist policies, he believes in the private economy and has specific ideas about the role of government.

September 10, 2015 In a come-from-behind rally, (click here) U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is the choice of 41 percent of Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants, with 40 percent picking former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 12 percent backing Vice President Joseph Biden, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

This compares to results of a July 2 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University showing Clinton at 52 percent, with 33 percent for Sanders and 7 percent for Biden.

Today, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley gets 3 percent of Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants, with 3 percent undecided....

Finally.

September 10, 2015

...Vice President Biden (click here) with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, announced that $41 million in federal funds will go toward the administration’s commitment to processing DNA evidence that could put rapists behind bars....

...Victim Natasha Alexenko said her rapist was captured after her rape kit was finally processed, WCBS 880’s Marla Diamond reported.
“He is currently serving time in prison until 2057, he can no longer hurt anyone else,” she said.
The funding will help test approximately 70,000 untested rape kits nationwide, officials said.
“It’s estimated there are hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits sitting in police storage facilities nationwide,” Vance said. “What stands in the way of testing them is money and the will to get the job done.”
It can cost up to $1,000 to test a kit.

Senator Whitehouse's regular climate change speech on the Senate floor.

He pointed to a letter from Governor Jindal to the President.

August 27, 2015
President Obama is heading to New Orleans Thursday (click here) to mark the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. But there’s one subject Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal hopes the president won’t broach in his remarks to city residents: climate change.
Jindal, who’s also running for president on the Republican ticket, sent a letter to Obama Wednesday urging the president not to mention climate change during his trip to Louisiana.
“Although I understand that your emphasis in New Orleans will – rightly – be on economic development, the temptation to stray into climate change politics should be resisted,” Jindal states in the letter. “While you and others may be of the opinion that we can legislate away hurricanes with higher taxes, business regulations and EPA power grabs, that is not a view shared by many Louisianians. I would ask you to respect this important time of remembrance by not inserting the divisive political agenda of liberal environmental activism.”
This week, Jindal writes in the letter, should be solely about mourning those lost in the storm and celebrating the recovery New Orleans has made so far.... 

Governor Jindal doesn't know his constituency as pointed out by Senator Whitehouse; an article in the Times-Picayune, the premier newsprint to Louisiana.

Even as Louisiana (click here) embarks on a multi-billion-dollar program to begin rebuilding its coast, evidence continues to mount that new coastal land will have to contend with a more rapid rise in sea level than projected in present state plans.
NASA officials Wednesday said the present rate of worldwide sea level rise has reached 3 millimeters a year (0.13 inch/year) and is increasing, the result of global warming. That compares to 1.7 millimeters a year for the entire 20^th Century and 1.8 millimeters between 1961 to 2003, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
NASA's scientists studying sea level change say that means an increase of at least 3 feet in sea level, though they are not certain whether that level will be reached within 100 years or longer....

Senator Whitehouse points out there will be millions of dollars of Louisiana real estate lost to the climate crisis. In that reality is the fact the Republican Senate has done nothing to plan for the help to the residents that will lose their homes and land permanently.

Senator Whitehouse points out the Republican party will have to withdraw for their support of the fossil fuel industry, because the country is moving forward to ward off the impact of further carbon pollution that will prolong the dangers Americans face.

Majority Leader McConnell is having a hissy fit on the US Senate floor because his defeat of the Iranian agreement failed.

He wants his Republicans to continue to work for a bill that will pass. He isn't interested in providing the US Senate floor to debate so it has to have a solid majority of more than sixty votes.  

The majority leaders also wants to know what the President is afraid of that he won't accept a legislative measure to stop the agreement. 

The Republican measure to block the Iranian agreement was defeated 42 to 58. There was a 60 vote majority needed. That is one more vote needed to defeat the measure.

McConnell is going to try it again next week.

Senator Tim Kane states the 60 vote threshold was decided by both Democrats and Republicans in committee before the first draft was decided by the P5+1 dialogue. Senator Kane also pointed out that Brent Scowcroft and retired General Colin Powell endorsed the Iran Agreement.

On August 23, 2015 in the Wall Street Journal former foreign adviser to two Republican presidents Brent Scowcroft (click here) endorsed the agreement.

The opposition to the bill has been about political endorsement by Israel. Evidently, Israel has so much clout with the US Senate the majority leader is going try again next week. Why? Next week isn't going to be any different. More campaign funding I suppose.

Evidently, Corker gave up his boot on the neck of Iran when the cloture vote failed.

Senator Cardin is upset the vote may have upset peers. It was the Cardin - Corker bill. Senator Cardin believes most of the members of the Senate worked hard and read all of the necessary information to make an educated vote.  

Senator Capito  is an inflammatory speaker. On the Senate floor she stated Iran is going to get a sign on bonus. That is hideous. There is no sign on bonus for Iran. Everything at the UN Security Council is fairly straight forward and bribery isn't sanctioned.

Evidently, the US Senate is befuddled by the fact cloture didn't take place for a vote on the opposition to the President. They don't know why? Because to allow cloture will probably lead to a declaration of war in an amendment somewhere. That's why. There is no confusion with the people. They don't want another war and with Israel having a boot on the neck of the USA Senate, why even go there?
