Razing the Istanbul park is on hold.

This is a victory for the young people of Istanbul. They have been recognized as having a sincere concern for their park and their desire to keep it. I congratulate them for achieving this through peaceful determination for recognition.

Turkish activists leading a sit-in were considering a promise Friday by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to let the courts — and a potential referendum — decide the fate of an Istanbul park redevelopment project that has sparked Turkey's biggest protests in decades.

In last-ditch negotiations after Erdogan issued a "final warning" to protesters, his ruling party announced early Friday that the government would suspend a controversial construction plan for Istanbul's Gezi Park until courts could rule on its legality. Even if the courts sided with the government, a city referendum would be held to determine the plan's fate, officials said.

The unilateral pledge aimed to cajole protesters into ending a two-week standoff that has damaged Erdogan's international reputation and led to repeated clashes with riot police. After initially inflaming tensions by dubbing the protesters "terrorists" and issuing defiant public remarks, Erdogan has moderated his stance in closed-door talks this week....

MOSCOW, June 14 (RIA Novosti) – Russia is not planning to deliver S-300 air defense systems to Syria, (click here) despite the announcement by the US administration on Thursday of its intention to supply the Syrian opposition with weaponry, a presidential aide said on Friday.

“The issue has not been raised yet,” aide Yury Ushakov told reporters in Moscow in comments on the US move.

“We are not competing [with Washington] on Syria, on the contrary, we are seeking a constructive solution to this issue which is vital for the situation in the region and the world,” Ushakov said.

Russian officials have previously said they will deliver on existing arms deals with Syria involving "defensive weapons," but President Putin said recently that the S-300 sale had not been completed....

Lindsay Graham states the global community is now in danger of being gassed by Syria. Can anthrax be far behind?

It is okay if Graham and McCain state, "They don't get it." We already know that

The people of the USA REJECT any escalation of war in the Middle East

This is a peace process, evidently, it is new to many people and not just the Shi'ites

Oh, yeah and of course, everything is on the table. Right.When will USA killing become justified? It is never justified. Necessary to stop dangers to the USA Homeland. Yes. But, justified. Never.

There is no danger to the USA from Syria. I thought we invested in Homeland Security, FBI and CIA for a reason. Oh, wait. There is that whole Press outing thing that is so unpredictable that would require bombs. Of course.

McCain wants Regime Change. That isn't going to happen.

Stability in the region is the only goal The West should be seeking. I am confident The West will have a partner in Russia if that stability is the goal.

There is no US and THEM. There is a peace process that includes Syria, Russia, the other ethnic interests whom are the opposition and The West along with regional nations to stop the killing through supplying the opposition with enough military strength, establish humanitarian aid, return function to lives, stop and reverse refugee movement and seek a coalition government. Resolving the problems of the region will allow stability. The West is not invading any country. That is a given. As a matter of fact, NATO will continue to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Wisconsin's other corrupt politician states the USA cannot afford to be an isolationist nation.

The USA is never an isolationist in the Middle East. It has an active alliance with Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Arab League and Europe. So, Johnson's rhetoric is still yet more misinformation by those politicans that lie no matter the cost.

June 25, 2011
...Johnson's plastics company (click here) paid him $10 million in deferred compensation shortly before he was sworn in as Wisconsin's junior senator, according to his latest financial disclosure report.

The first-term Republican declined to say how his Oshkosh firm, Pacur, came up with a figure that so closely mirrored the amount he personally put into his campaign fund.

"You take a look in terms of what would be a reasonable compensation package, OK?" Johnson said this week. "It's a private business. I've complied with all the disclosure laws, and I don't have to explain it any further to someone like you."...

Johnson's business experience is all in the family.

...According to his campaign biography, (click here) Johnson moved to Oshkosh in 1979 to join Pat Curler, his brother-in-law, in running Pacur, which had recently relocated to Oshkosh with a new name and a new product line.

 The company, formerly known as Wisconsin Industrial Shipping Supply, was founded by the Curler family in 1977 in New London to produce shipping pallets. A Feb. 16, 1986, Northwestern company profile indicates the city of Oshkosh and its industrial-development arm, Chamco Inc., lured the company to Oshkosh in 1979 by securing a $75,000 federal grant to build a rail spur and by providing assistance with construction of a 20,000-square-foot factory in the North Industrial Park....

...Johnson’s biography describes Pacur as having “grown from a company supplying a single customer to the largest producer in the world of a specialty plastic used in medical device packaging and high-tech printing.”
That early single customer at the time was evolving into the plastics giant Bemis, which had named the Curlers’ father, Howard Curler, CEO in 1978. Jeff Curler, Jane Johnson’s brother, is now executive chairman of the board of directors.

Bemis continues to be an important customer, having purchased $9.5 million to $12.6 million in goods and material from Pacur for each of the last 10 years, according to proxy statements Bemis has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission....

Johnson is a rhetorical Republican. He won his Senate election based strongly on his opposition to the 2008 bank bailout. Basically, what he says is never the truth, factual or considered a good policy statement. If one has to stick a name on him; he is a reactionary talking head.

For example, the cash Johnson (click here) received from the Financial Services Roundtable PAC on August 27 and the American Bankers Association PAC on July 8 and July 30 came from, amongst others, hardcore Treasury bailout beneficiaries such as JP Morgan Chase, SunTrust, Bank of America, Regions Financial, Zions and First Horizon. The money Ron Johnson received from the Bluegrass and Senate Majority Fund PACs came, in part, from one of the greatest bailout beneficiaries of them all, Goldman Sachs. Despite statements about staying out of politics this cycle, Goldman donated to both PACs on March 31 of this year. On June 24, Ron Johnson's campaign received two $5,000 donations from the Bluegrass PAC, a day later the campaign received two donations from the Senate Majority PAC in the same amounts.

May 16, 2013; 10:53 AM 

A new in-depth analysis (click here) of peer-reviewed summaries on the topic of global warming/climate change that were published in the past 21 years shows an overwhelming consensus among scientists that recent warming is mostly caused by human actions. 

The research team, which was led by John Cook of the University of Queensland, found that 97% of those summaries endorsed the consensus. This new report was just published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

According to EurekAlert, a 2012 poll indicated that more than half of Americans disagree or are unaware that scientists overwhelmingly agree that the planet is warming due to human activity.

The Cook-led research team considered a total of 11,994 papers that were published in 1,980 different scientific journals. Of those papers, 32.6 percent endorsed man-made global warming, 66.4 percent stated no position and just 0.7 percent rejected man-made global warming.

To break it down further, the researchers asked the question... are we causing global warming? They found over 4,000 studies written by 10,000 scientists that stated a position on this, and 97 percent said that recent warming is mostly man-made.

The existance of Hezbollah is somewhat of a no brainer. Right?

Hezbollah are Shi'ites. They are supported by Assad and Iran. Hezbollah is Shi'ite deployment to insure sovereign nations. Iran fell from the Shah some time ago. It was after the senior Assad took power in 1971. The Shah fell in Iran in 1979 by the Iranian Revolution. That makes Iran a sovereign nation under the leadership of the Shi'ites over 30 years. This leadership in the region is fairly new when measured by more stable Arab governments.

But, the region has been unstable and it has been unstable for some time now. At least 50 years. None of this struggle is new. Is there any reason why the USA invasion into Iraq was more threatening than any American was willing to realize. Then to add to the American invasion Bush was targeting the Shi'ites of southern Iraq for annihilation.

The entire idea the USA should ride into Syria on a White Horse to save the day is the most hideous nonsense I have ever heard. It is all Neocon hubris without any understanding of what underlies these issues.

There are reasons why this mess has continued for nearly three generations now. The end is not even close to being near. The best that can happen is to allow those that want to battle to decide not to. There is dearly nothing The West is going to do within these nations to end the fighting. NOTHING.

These are god wars. Why do they kill Americans rather than surround them as their savior from violence and death? That is a more than interesting question.

We don't belong in Iraq.

We never did. 

The Alawites in Syria are 12% of the population. Assad is a Alawite. The majority of the nation is Sunni Muslim to 74%.

The West could easily arm the Sunni Muslims and watch as they annihilate 12% of the population including Assad. That is called ethnic cleansing

The Alawites at one point were persecuted and tortured until Hafez al-Assad took power in 1971. He ruled until 2000. Not surprisingly Bashar al-Assad took power as President of Syria in 2000.

Besides these two ethnic groups there are smaller populations of Kurds (Kurdistan), Christian and Hebrew.

Riding USA tanks into Syria as if Iraq is not going to happen. The parties have to negotiate for a peace, otherwise, there will be war for a long time.

Part of what is feeding the instability in the region are the Kurds.


Kurdistan encompasses Syria, Iran, Iraq and Turkey. The instability in the region is profound because there are many, many interests seeking power. This is going to go on for awhile and it is up to the people to decide they need to stop killing each other and live within their borders or not.

WW III is not going to happen because the ethnics can't get along.

The USA is not going to conduct a war in Syria. NOT!

War mongers are unbelievable. Russia is a full partner to Assad. Russia is very used to conducting life long wars. Assad's struggle is nothing to Russia. The USA and The West is providing the ability of the Syrian rebels to push back against Assad to stop mass ethnic cleansing. While both sides confront each other there will be proceedings to bring all parties to the peace table. There will be negotitations for a power sharing government.

The US is to supply direct military aid (click here) to the Syrian opposition for the first time, the White House has announced.

President Obama made the decision after his administration concluded Syrian forces under Bashar al-Assad were using chemical weapons, a spokesman said.
Ben Rhodes did not give details about the military aid other than to say it would be "different in scope and scale to what we have provided before".
Russia said the US claims on Syria's chemical weapons use were unconvincing.
Yury Ushakov, a senior aide to President Vladimir Putin, told reporters that Washington had provided Moscow with its evidence, but "what was presented.... does not look convincing to us"....

KARACHI: (click here) The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has formally invited the Muttahida Qaumi Movement to renew their alliance in Sindh and offered to address its ex-ally’s main sticking point: local government.

A party panel comprising Makhdoom Amin Fahim, Khursheed Shah and Qaim Ali Shah will flesh out a power sharing agreement. Committee members are due to meet representatives of their former ally following President Asif Ali Zardari’ s arrival in Karachi this week.
In the aftermath of the May 11 polls, the PPP suffered a resounding defeat at the centre, but managed to retain its position as the largest party in Sindh by winning a simple majority.
Sources within the PPP told The Express Tribune that a power sharing formula would be finalised and MQM would be given a firm assurance on the local government system. “The PPP will retain around a dozen portfolios but will allocate six to seven ministries to the MQM,” said a senior PPP leader....

UA (University of Arizona) - Developed App Warns Drivers of Dust Storm Danger (click here) 

April 4, 2013 

Available for free download on iTunes, the app uses a person's geographical location anywhere in the country to determine if there is danger of a dust storm, or any other type of storm, in the area. The warnings come directly from the WeatherBug service.
In addition to storm alerts, the app provides a list of specific tips for what to do when a dust storm hits, such as:

• Do not drive into or through a dust storm.
• Do not stop in a travel lane or in the emergency lane.
• Look for a safe place to pull completely off the paved portion of the roadway.
• Turn off all vehicle lights, including your emergency flashers.

The app also offers a place to list emergency phone numbers or insurance policy numbers drivers may want to have readily available in a storm, as well as a list of things people should keep in their cars as part of a Dust Storm Survival Kit. Some of those items include water, snacks or energy bars, a basic first aid kit, flashlight, dust mask and a whistle or pocket siren to signal for help....

...Of five hardline candidates (click here) professing unwavering obedience to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, three are thought to stand any chance of winning the vote, or making it through to a second round run-off in a week’s time. Of those three main conservative hopefuls only one, current chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, advocates maintaining Iran’s robust, ideologically driven foreign policy.

The other two, Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, have pledged never to back away from pursuing Iran’s nuclear program but have strongly criticized Mr. Jalili’s inflexible negotiating stance. They face a single moderate candidate, the only cleric in the race, Hassan Rohani. Though very much an establishment figure, Mr. Rohani is more likely to pursue a conciliatory foreign policy....

By Michelle Rindels

Twenty-seven vehicles slammed (click here) into each other during a sandstorm that blinded drivers on Interstate 80 in rural northern Nevada, killing a truck driver, seriously injuring several other people and sapping already thin emergency resources, officials said.

Humboldt County sheriff's dispatchers called in virtually every medical, law enforcement and fire worker in the sparsely populated area after drivers reported "near-apocalyptic" conditions Monday evening on I-80 at Winnemucca, according to officials at Humboldt General Hospital there. A mine rescue crew also assisted, and a charter bus was used to transport victims who were uninjured.

"It was kind of surreal," said Jared Oscarson, captain of clinical services at the hospital, describing a curtain of blowing dirt that at times hid the crash scene from rescuers' sight. "There was kind of just chaos and destruction everywhere."...

I believe there was a person killed in that pile up a couple of days ago. I hope that didn't happen because there was little to no emergency response able to reach them.

Kind of scary to think there is such weather conditions that can actually disturb the best plans of emergency services.

How very sweet, FOX News is worried about President Obama's credibility. I can assure them his announcement about Assad's Sarin attacks on his own citizens didn't come from "Curveball." It is okay, Mr. O'Reilly, everything will be fine.

I am sure the floods in Europe will also be a centerpiece to the G8.

Unprecedented rainfall (click here) and flooding continued to plague central Europe in mid-June 2013, causing billions of dollars in damage. The Elbe, Danube, Saale, and other river systems rose well above their banks and breached flood defenses in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia. Many news outlets and some government sources were describing it as the worst flooding since medieval times, surpassing the devastating floods of 2002 in many areas....

...At the time of the June 7 image, the river stage stood at 6.7 meters (about 22 feet) in Wittenberg. On June 11, 2013, police shut down the center of Wittenberg as crews worked to shore up sandbag dikes and other defenses. The Elbe River was expected to crest again near the city, following another rainfall over the weekend. Downstream in Magdeburg, the surging river had already burst a dam and forced evacuations

According to the Austrian Meteorological Agency (ZAMG) and meteorologist Jeff Masters, several months worth of typical rainfall soaked southern Germany and western Austria between May 29 to June 6. That precipitation landed on soil that was already soaked from above-average spring rains.

“The primary cause of the torrential rains over Central Europe during late May and early June was a large loop in the jet stream that developed over Europe and got stuck in place,” Masters wrote. “A blocking high set up over Northern Europe, forcing two low pressure systems to avoid Northern Europe and instead track over Central Europe. The extreme kink in the jet stream ushered in a strong southerly flow of moisture-laden air from the Mediterranean Sea over Central Europe, which met up with colder air flowing from the north due to the stuck jet stream pattern.”

G8 is next week.

UN report says children are recruited, maimed or raped by government forces and armed groups

Published: 10:32 June 13, 2013
United Nations: (click here) Syrian troops and rebels are recruiting children to fight in the country’s civil war and some have been tortured by government forces for having links to the opposition, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said in a report on Wednesday.

The report issued after Ban’s special envoy for children and armed conflict, Leila Zerrougui, visited Syria in December said thousands of children have been killed in the violence, “while thousands more have seen family members killed or injured.”

The United Nations considers anyone aged under 18 to be a child. Ban said that in Syria, torture and ill-treatment of children accused of associating with opposition forces was a worrying trend.

“There were a number of accounts of sexual violence against boys to obtain information or a confession by the state forces, largely but not exclusively by members of the state intelligence services and the Syrian armed forces,” the report said.

The G8 leaders will want to avert any possibility of arming a number of different groups of rebels. Such actions would result in escalation of ethnic and sectarian violence rather than a consolidation of rebel authority. The G8 leaders will want to resolve to consolidate an oppositional authority to bring about a coalition government.

Russian President Vladimir Putin (click here) will fly to Britain a day before next week's G8 summit for talks with David Cameron on the conflict in Syria, the British prime minister announced Wednesday. 

...The two leaders will meet at Cameron's Downing Street office on Sunday, before heading to Northern Ireland for the summit of Group of Eight nations on Monday and Tuesday.
"We should use the G8 to try and bring pressure on all sides, to bring about what we all want in this House, which is a peace conference, a peace process and a move towards a transitional government in Syria," Cameron told the House of Commons.

"I'm delighted to tell the House that President Putin will be coming in advance of the G8 for meetings in Downing Street on Sunday, when we can discuss this."
Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has with the United States proposed an international peace conference to get the two sides in the conflict to the negotiating table....

S. Amendment 711 - legal guns - continued

The NRA celebrates the Six Month Anniversary of the Newtown Deaths with a

bigoted ad. Thanks, Joe.

The NRA never admits the list of legal guns are so numerous it takes a long

time to work through the particulars to be accurate about the generosity of 

the Assault Weapons Amendment.

The NRA is immoral in it's content. When are members going to be outraged

by this level of hatred to stop it? Bigotry? The members of the NRA don't have

a solid basis for the right to their guns? They have to front hatred to justify

their rhetoric? They should be ashamed.

4900 Americans have died within our borders since the deaths in New Town,

Connecticut. Some of the most recent were in Santa Monica at a college 

university. One of the most tragic was to realize a man that worked on the 

campus lost his dear daughter in this most recent incident. He will relive that

over and over when he returns to his job.

In the past six months the Senate bill for background checks was defeated with

a 56 vote majority. The US House has done nothing. There has been no bill or any

constructive debate to move forward with better law to protect the people of 

this country. Nothing.

Severe storms (click here) are forecast across Maryland and much of the mid-Atlantic Thursday afternoon, bringing potential for damaging wind gusts, heavy rains and flooding, and isolated tornadoes. But the highest risk for dangerous conditions has shifted to the south.

The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Baltimore and Baltimore, Harford, Howard and Anne Arundel counties through 7 p.m. A flash flood watch was meanwhile in effect across the state through 8 p.m.

A few wind gusts as strong as 70 mph are possible, along with an inch or more of rain, and some isolated tornadoes, according to the weather service....

Cat One hurricanes start at 74 mph. This is worse than a hurricane. At least hurricanes are sustained winds that can be compensated from, but, straight line winds are not sustained, they are gusts.

Pennsylvania's senators are split on what do to about a key student loan interest rate set to double soon unless Congress intervenes.
Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr. backs his party's plan to extend current rates, affecting subsidized Stafford loans, for two years.
But Republican Sen. Pat Toomey is opposed to an extension — as well as to his own party's plan, which would tie student loan rates to a variable rate set by the U.S. Treasury.
