The Korean War Proves Mind Determines Man

At the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War on 27 July 2013, bestselling author John Hollands, recalls South Korea's transformation

Hollands is reminding us in this excerpt that man is determined by the content of his mind.

(...) whilst I was fighting in Korea I often questioned the wisdom of what we were doing. South Korea was governed by a thoroughly corrupt regime headed by an evil tyrant, Syngman Rhee; and the whole country was backward with a terrible reputation for cruelty, especially in the way of executions of political prisoners and their attitude towards prisoners-of-war, or suspect refugees. The rule of thumb was, ‘if in doubt, shoot them’.

Iran and Hezbollah Behind the Benghazi Attack?

The US is arming and training the Syrian rebels covertly. Increasingly there are indications that the US ambassador and CIA agents in Benghazi were involved in gun running



According to Alex Jones the fearmongering ‘terror alert’ is nothing more than theater to distract from Benghazi.

UPDATE: Dr. Mark Christian from the Global Faith Institute has an alternative reading of events in the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012: it was not an act of Sunni related terrorism, but a nation state assault by a Hezbollah and Iran related Shia group.

Limbaugh Tells Conservatives How to Defeat Socialism

Rush Limbaugh talks about the problems Republicans have in defeating the Democrats, even while the country is hanging by a thread

One hour interview of Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.

Rather than competing in the marketplace of ideas, the Republicans are appeasing their bullying opponents. That's because they have implicitly accepted the moral stance of their opponents. There may be a imporant lesson here for Conservative parties around the world.

After caving to threats and canceling a gig in Israel, aging rocker Eric Burdon flew into Israel on Monday night for the Thursday concert.

Instilling Jew Hatred at UN West Bank 'Summer Camp'

UNRWA, an United Nations organization, is contributing to the indoctrination of Palestinian children in order to keep the hatred alive

"Education" and "summer camp" on your behalf, provided by the UNRWA. 

In the past the UNRWA has proved itself highly politicized. It is currently contributing to the indoctrination of some tender souls, the descendents of Palestinian refugees dating back to 1948, so as to keep the hatred alive. This is the reason why, after almost 70 years, there is an intractable 'Palestinian problem' and semi permanent 'Palestinian refugee camps'. The video is showing what constitutes education and summer camp in the language of this United Nations organization. 

Why the Peace Process Is Doomed to Fail

Hamas has made short shrift of the ongoing peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. On the West Bank Islamists are accusing Abbas of 'selling out to the Jews' 

"Allahu Akbar, destroy Israel, the VS, the UK and France!" 

Minutes after John Kerry last Friday declared that the peace negotiations will resume this week in Washington, Hamas' leader Sami Abu Zuhri rejected the idea. Hamas made clear that the rival Fatah government of the West Bank does not have the mandate to negotiate on behalf of "the Palestinian people" in general.

UPDATED "British Muslim Women Starting Jihad Families in Syria"

Young British women, recent converts to Islam, are starting families of Jihadists and martyr wannabees in Syria

They don't stop to think about the people whose houses they took, who are now rotting away in refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey, if they are lucky

In the meantime: Al Qaeda linked extremists have taken hostage about 200 Kurdish civilians, including women and children, using them as live shields in north-eastern Syria, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has stated. Western powers supporting organizations like al-Qaeda-linked Jahbat al-Nusra are to be blamed for the situation in northern Syria.

The United States, Saudi Arabia, and Britain are actively supporting al-Qaeda-linked organizations that are ransacking and murdering women and children. “All we are hearing from London and Washington are talks about a no-fly zone and arming the very people who are killing women and children there.

And from Turkey, certainly the Turkish right wing has brought ideas of invading Syria from the north to kill more Kurdish people.” says RT's reporter Rattansi.

Civilians remain hostage after Syrian Kurds clashed with Al-Qaeda linked militants in the north-eastern Syrian towns of Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ain, along the Syrian-Turkish border over the weekend.

In these areas, there has long been confrontation between the troops of the international extremists affiliated with al-Qaeda and local Kurdish militias who stood up to protect their homes from attacks by radical Islamists.

Syrian Kurd fighters captured a rebel leader, or emir, identified as Abu Musab. In response, Al-Qaeda extremists abducted 500 civilians, including woman and children. “They started to kill innocent people by cutting off their heads,” the statement read.

“Kurds had to free Abu Musab in exchange for an agreement to release hostages.” Despite the Kurdish fighters agreed to release Abu Musab in exchange for people, about 200 people are still in the hands of extremists. The commander was freed as agreed.

The Kurdish gunmen have been fighting to expel al-Qaeda militants from the northeastern province of Hassakeh over the past week, with the battle significantly intensifying over the weekend. (Source includes video report)
