It is the lawlessness of militias that seem to believe they don't have to abide by laws so much as make them.

The West did not expect this level of unrest following the removal of dictators and tyrants. In the case of Libya, Gaddafi was murdering people in numbers. He wanted to kill everyone in Benghazi. The West believed the people would be anxious to have their democracy. There are many factions in the Middle East and they all have their own priorities. A burning hatred of everything that came before was going to have it's effect. Appeasement under the dictators only oppressed the people's will and when that leader was removed it set fire to all those oppressed. Now, they are afraid to relinquish their own authority over their lives and stand as martyrs to god in defiance.
 
Mohammed al-Sheikh said he had not received the financial and moral support to implement his reforms

18 August 2013 Last updated at 17:40 ET

...The interior ministry (click here) has come under pressure to deal with violence that has plagued Libya since the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
Mr Sheikh is the second cabinet minister to quit in the past two weeks.
Awadh al-Barassi resigned as deputy prime minister on 4 August.
He said the government had failed to deal with the unrest, win the people's trust, and provide state agencies with adequate resources.
In a letter read out to the GNC on Sunday, Mr Sheikh said he was resigning "namely because of a lack of support from the prime minister", MP Abdullah al-Gmati told the AFP news agency.
He also complained that he was "not getting the financial and moral support to implement his reform programme and said he did not have sufficient prerogatives to carry out his policies", Mr Gmati added.
The former colonel in Tripoli's police force also spoke of being put under "pressure" from GNC members after trying to sack officials....

This is the same level of hatred witnessed in Iraq post invasion. Saddam was gone and all others found their footing after decades of repression. I don't want to say the genie has been let out of the bottle, it isn't that sort of thing. But, it is people afraid of further oppression. To some extent this violence throughout the region is rational. Dangerous, but, rational.

Tunisia: Experts fear political instability is damaging economy (click here)

With a massive drop in the value of the dinar and rising inflation and debt-to-GDP ratio, worries over the effect of political instability are increasing

on : Sunday, 18 Aug, 2013

...Latest figures indicate a decline in foreign direct investment (FDI) in Tunisia by 1.3 percent in 2013 over the same period in 2012. There is 6 percent inflation and the national debt is 47 to 48 percent of GDP. The value of the Tunisian dinar has been declining rapidly, and has been at its lowest levels ever since July.
In a statement this week, the Tunisian Association of Economists issued a warning about the “gravity of the current economic situation in Tunisia” and “the extent to which the country is able to repay its debt.” In their own statement, the Assembly of Expert Tunisian Accountants emphasized that “the economic situation requires urgent action in order to restore the country’s fiscal balance,” indicating that the task may require reconsideration of the 2013 budget.
Perhaps most dangerous of all is the claim from some parties, especially among the opposition, that the Tunisian government will be unable to pay the salaries of employees in the coming period...

 UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon denied on Monday there is any bias in the UN against Israel.

...The Secretary-General was in Israel on Friday where he met with students at the UN headquarters in Jerusalem, and reportedly did admit to these students that there is bias against Israel in the UN.
“Unfortunately because of the conflict, Israel has been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias – sometimes even discrimination,” Ban said at the time, according to several media sources.
On Monday in New York, Ban retracted these comments, and emphasized that "incitement against any group of people, any religion or tradition…is unacceptable."...

...The authorities portray their campaign as a fight against terrorism. The Brotherhood renounced violence decades ago and denies any links with armed militants, including those in Sinai who gained strength since autocrat Hosni Mubarak fell in 2011.

Mounting insecurity in Sinai also worries the United States because the area lies next to Israel and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, as well as the Suez Canal.
At least 36 Islamists died in government custody on Sunday, in an incident that the Brotherhood described as "murder" and the authorities said was a thwarted jailbreak.
"The murders show the violations and abuses that political detainees who oppose the July 3 coup get subjected to," said the Brotherhood.
The Interior Ministry said 36 Brotherhood detainees had been suffocated by tear gas during an attempted prison breakout near Cairo. A legal source said 38 men had died from asphyxiation in the back of a crammed police van....

Tamarod is a grassroots movement in Egypt that led the campaign to oust president Mohamed Morsi.

“Repression and tyranny have reached their peak and we can no longer remain silent,” the group said in the video. “The time has come to reject death under Hamas’s security club.”
The group said that the Palestinian Tamarod movement consisted of youths “of all colors and affiliations.”
Denouncing Hamas as medieval gangsters, the group accused the Islamist movement of torture, sabotage, smuggling, bribery and thuggery....

Yucca Mountain is the worst idea anyone could have ever thunk up. The USA needs to reprocess it's nuclear fuel and reuse it. Storing it forever is not a solution. 

By Jacob Kastrenakes on August 15, 2013 12:41 pm

...But the ruling may only be a symbolic step forward. (click here) The NRC only has $11.1 million remaining in its budget for reviewing the government's application to use Yucca Mountain, and as the court writes, "$11 million is wholly insufficient to complete the processing of the application." The NRC hasn't said how much it'll need, but the US government believes that, overall, $15 billion has already been put toward the project. Whether Congress is willing to fund it further remains up in the air. The court notes that the NRC originally ended its review due to lack of funding, and that "Congress, of course, is under no obligation to appropriate additional money."...

If Yucca was open today it would be full. There is that much spent nuclear fuel in the USA currently stored in cooling pools. We don't need Yucca, we need to stop the use of this hideous energy.

Imagine that mountain with solar fields. Now realize how hideous nuclear energy sincerely is.

"For 20 years of the execution of the agreement the state budget received a total of about $18 billion. At the very beginning, when we signed the contract, its cost was estimated at about $12 billion," Alex Grigoriev, CEO of "TENEX" told radio station "Echo of Moscow". This company is part of the "Rosatom," and provides over 40 percent of the world demand for uranium enrichment services for nuclear power plants with reactors of Western design.

The electricity produced from the reprocessed uranium from Soviet nuclear bombs is consumed by nearly every tenth house of the United States. The Russian-American program "Megatons to Megawatts" will be in effect until 2013....

State regulators typically issue three or four permits each year for oil and gas drilling, but this year, they issued 13 by late September. With fracking growing more popular throughout the country, some companies have started to turn their attention to Nevada, said Alan Coyner, administrator of the state’s Division of Minerals.
No company has used hydraulic fracturing in Nevada, but some now want that option in their permits, he said.

Not guilty does not return him to leadership.

CAIRO | Mon Aug 19, 2013 7:46am EDT
 

Mubarak, 85, (click here) was arrested after he was ousted. In scenes that mesmerized Arabs, the former leader appeared in a court-room cage during his trial on charges that ranged from corruption to complicity in the murder of protesters.
More than a year on, the only legal grounds for Mubarak's continued detention rest on another corruption case which his lawyer, Fareed el-Deeb, said would be settled swiftly.
"All we have left is a simple administrative procedure that should take no more than 48 hours. He should be freed by the end of the week," Deeb told Reuters.
Without confirming that Mubarak would be freed, a judicial source said the former leader would spend another two weeks behind bars before judicial authorities made a final decision in the outstanding case against him.

The Right Wing propaganda machine is dying and the RNC is throwing in with it.

By rendering exclusively conservative moderators during RNC political debates, the risk for political bias is high. Hannity, Limbaugh, and Levin are considered charismatic conservative entities which may very well sensationalize the program; these men are known for their strong opinions. Their personal politics will steer the debate toward stactics that belong on a polarizing talk show, not a debate floor....

It is all a bunch of lies and then Americans wonder what happened to their country.  The politicians are busy pandering to their donors and adverse philosophies of what is best for the country while the country's problems go unsolved. The RNC is the biggest problem the country has.

This is the part where I state my opinion. This time it is about the future.

I think the USA is way out of line of benevolence and out of touch with it's citizens. The federal government has pandered to Wall Street for so very, very long there is no room for citizens anymore. I could not mean that more. The politics are intractable and we are on the cusp if not already there of becoming an automated society that operates void of citizens.

Now, if that sounds abstract, the average citizen knows nothing about the drones in use by their military on a day to day basis. 

Ever since the Late President Gerald Ford pulled the troops out of Vietnam, the USA military has been annoyed they have to be bothered with human soldiers at all. I am more than concerned the USA military's path into tomorrow will take the country where it's citizens never intended. The citizens of the USA could literally live within borders untouched by war while the rest of the world is the victim of our drones.

The citizens of the USA have to have a stake in any war this country carries out. If there is no human stake in war, the USA will become without a doubt, a tyrannical power able to carry out wars of greed and control erasing the definition of human rights. Combine that reality with the nationalism that existed under Bush/Cheney and we are the next Third Reich.

The USA has a lot to do to improve the quality of life of it's own people. We don't need nor do we want war. Our drone capacity in every branch of the military escalates wars with other nations. The use of these machines are more than inappropriate. Drones should never be armed. NEVER. 

So, let's start there and demand the USA military to stand down from their armed drones and demand they only be used for intelligence while realizing venturing into another nation's air space without treaties is an aggressive act.

The United States is creating it's own emergencies and we need to stop it. We need to concentrate on better energy sources for the USA, a health care system with enough General Practitioners, plenty of well paid educators and change to generational planning.

We need to know today, that our children have a right to schooling that allows them to dream of a peaceful world safe from Wall Street domination and exploitation where life is beneficial and worth living. We need to know their lives will have purpose and be rewarding. We need to accept the responsibility of providing a country with potential of a good and decent life without weapons within our borders used against us and those we deploy outside our borders as necessary and benevolent.

Today, the federal government is deadlocked over IMMEDIATE issues. It is their fault the USA is unable to provide for an entire generation of Americans. It is their fault we have no future on the horizon for our children. It is their fault there is a warming planet without abating. 

Americans have surrendered to survival in day to day living and have set the hopes of their children aside as a problem that will take care of itself as the IMMEDIACY takes shape.

We need to stop this lunacy and reclaim the rights of our children and their birth right.

This is complete and absolute madness. It all occurred when we knew nothing about it. There is no way the USA can compete against a global race to war. The Communists can out manufacture the USA by the sheer cost of their labor. What Wall Street found in outsourcing American jobs is true of the ability of other nations to build weaponry as well. The USA's path forward is one of non-proliferation and peace, not greater and greater war machines. The will break the back of the people of this nation. 

The Sequester stands. There is a reason why.

The US Marines have unmanned combat vehicles, too.

Another brick in the wall of uncontainable war.

The Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle program (click here) will support Marine Corps conduct of Ship To Objective Maneuver (STOM) through the use of a small-medium sized mobile robotic system to minimize risk and neutralize threats to Marines across the spectrum of conflict. Gladiator will perform scout/surveillance, NBC reconnaissance, direct fire, and personnel obstacle breaching missions in its basic configuration.
Essential Functions of the Gladiator system include:

• Day/night remote visual acuity equal to that of an individual Marine using current image intensifying or thermal devices
• Battlefield mobility capable of supporting dismounted units in all environments, including MOUT rubble (click here)
• Modular design and incorporation of standard interfaces for attachment of future mission payloads
• Remain operable and mission capable after being impacted by multiple 7.62mm small arms rounds at zero standoff distance.

The Gladiator Program is a U. S. Marine Corps initiative based on the Joint Army-Marine Corps Tactical Unmanned Vehicle (TUV) ORD originated by the Infantry School. MNS INT 12.1.1 dated 4 November 1993 validated the need for a tactical unmanned ground vehicle system and the Army approved the ORD in August 1995 and by the Marine Corps in May 1996....

Nuclear energy cooperation for South Korea. It is stated to be non-proliferation.

Mark Holt, (click here) specialist in energy policy at the Congressional Research Service, talked about efforts to extend the U.S.-South Korea Nuclear Cooperation Agreement until March 2016, after an effort earlier in the year to create a long-term successor failed. 

“Critical Themes of the US-ROK 123: Challenges for Congressional Action on Extending the US-ROK Nuclear Cooperation Agreement” was a presentation of the U.S.-Korea Institute at SAIS in partnership with the Global America Business Institute.
Jenny Town is identified on screen as Florence Lowe Lee.

I found the dialogue by Mark Holt more than interesting and he seeks Congressional work on HR 2449. He states it is non-proliferation. 97% of nuclear fuel is imported. The lack of action on HR 2449 would effect South Korea. I do wonder where the 3% is produced domestically and what delaying this bill might do to domestic production or seek imports from other nations such as Russia. Is that what Congress wants to happen?

South Korea imports 97% of its fuel, by ship. Some $170 billion was spent on imported energy in 2011, one third of all imports.
Power demand in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) has increased by more than 9% per year since 1990 but slowed to about 2.8% pa 2006-10 and projected 2.5% pa to 2020. Per capita consumption in 2010 was 9200 kWh, up from 850 kWh/yr in 1980. Over the last three decades, South Korea has enjoyed 8.6% average annual growth in GDP, which has caused corresponding growth in electricity consumption - from 33 billion kWh in 1980 to 406 billion kWh in 2009.

FORT ANN -- School officials (click here) aren’t doing enough to stop a climate of pervasive bullying and racism, according to frustrated parents, who say the negativity has persisted for decades.
Parents described instances of students taunting and assaulting other students and insulting them with racial slurs. A video posted to YouTube showed several young teenage boys using the N-word and making vulgar and racist sexual comments.
“The video simply reflects the racism that children of color can experience at any time at Fort Ann Central School,” said Tiana Jones, who is African-American and a parent of a child in the local school, at Tuesday’s school board meeting.
Jones added the situation hasn’t changed since when she was in school in Fort Ann, when other students threw rocks at her back and called her the N-word.
“My son has dealt with racism and bullying in the school for many years here,” she said.

Ahead of August Recess, Sessions Encourages Lawmakers To ‘Shut Out The Special Interests’ On Immigration(click here)

Friday, August 2, 2013

WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) delivered a speech on the Senate floor last night on the importance of doing the right thing on immigration:

 

Sessions remarks, as prepared, follow:

 

“This week Congress received two letters: one from GOP donors and the other from CEOs, urging Congress to act on immigration. The Washington Times reports: ‘Nearly a hundred top Republican donors and Bush administration officials sent a letter to the House GOP on Tuesday urging lawmakers to pass a bill that legalizes illegal immigrants… The donor letter came the same day that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and 400 other businesses and umbrella groups fired off a letter to House leaders of both parties, urging them to pass something.’

 

One word not mentioned in either letter: wages.

 

Mr. Rove and these groups would have us believe this is just about providing amnesty to illegal immigrants. That’s certainly a large part of it: businesses know that legalizing illegal workers will expand the available labor pool for many industries with effect to push down wages in areas where illegal workers might not have previously had access. But there is a phrase in the letter which has gotten too little attention, and which explains what this really all about. Rove and the donors says that legislation must ‘provide a legal way for U.S.-based companies to hire the workers they need.’

 

That cannot be the goal of immigration policy.

 

Of course, there already is a legal way for U.S.-based companies to hire workers they need: they can hire the people living here today who are unemployed. Or they can hire some of the million-plus immigrants we lawfully admit each year or the hundreds of thousands of temporary guest workers we admit each year, who come just to work. No one is saying these programs shouldn’t exist or be improved, but what these businesses want is as much low-cost labor as possible. That’s what this is all about. They believe the immigration policy for our entire nation should create an abundance of low-wage workers. They, in their bubble, think that lower wages are good for America. Maybe some politicians do too. They’re not concerned with how the plan impacts workers, the immigrants themselves, public resources, the education system, or taxpayer dollars. They’re not focused on the broader economic or social concerns. The focus is reducing the cost of labor. But America has larger and more pressing concerns, such as unemployment and falling labor participation rates....

"It is the boardest coalition of oganizations...economic coalition in support of that (immigration)...

Senator John McCain has some of the best town halls of any legislator. He is sincere and consistent in his dedication to those who have come to hear him speak and answer their questions. He comes with good information as a source of hope.

...The Congressional Budget Office said...this legislation would reduce the budget deficit by $850 billion dollars over the next 20 years...it would add $300 billion to the Social Security Trust Fund over the next ten years...Arizona's economic output would be increased by $616 million dollars and create 8016 jobs in 2014. This bill would increase the total personal income of Arizona families by $2.5 billion dollars in 2020....

No one bothered to put into context Former Secretary of State was speaking to the American Bar Assiciaiton; not a political rally.

I think women are excited about Hillary. I think they want it to happen. Can a woman candidate finally make the USA understand the future is about our young people and not about the past? Can she change the focus of this nation to bring about the future's promise that is the hope of our children?

In an upcoming interview with People Magazine, George W. Bush's daughter Barbara said she'd like to see the "unbelievably accomplished" Clinton enter the 2016 presidential race, CNN reported Thursday.

According to the Hill, Bush's interview with People will appear in the Aug. 26 issue. When asked if she would vote for Clinton, Bush wasn't as certain, saying that she didn't know "who'd she be running against."

Speculation surrounding a possible Clinton 2016 run has been abound this summer. During a Monday chat with BuzzFeed Brews, New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner was asked if he knew what his wife Huma Abedin's role would be in a Clinton campaign. Weiner replied "I do," but backtracked from the comment the following day, calling it "a joke."
