UN official blames Boston Bombing on America

UN official blames Boston Bombing on America

A United Nations official known for blaming the U.S. for unrest in the Middle East has angered critics again by blaming the Boston Marathon bombings on “American global domination.” "The American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance in the post-colonial world," Richard Falk, the UN Human Rights Council's Palestine monitor, wrote in an article for Foreign Policy Journal titled, “A Commentary on the Marathon Murders." "It is soon to tell, and the somewhat hysterical Boston dragnet for the remaining at large and alive suspect does suggest that the wounds of 9/11 are far from healed," he wrote. "We should be asking ourselves at this moment, 'How many canaries will have to die before we awaken from our geopolitical fantasy of global [...]

The History Of Teaching Math In America from 1950 – 2013

The History Of Teaching Math In America from 1950 – 2013

Teaching Math in America from 1950 – 2013 or the Dumbing down of  America Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s: 1. Teaching Math In 1950s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit? 2. Teaching Math In [...]

Another Leak? U.S., Israel developed Flame computer virus to slow Iranian nuclear efforts

Another Leak? U.S., Israel developed Flame computer virus to slow Iranian nuclear efforts

The United States and Israel jointly developed a sophisticated computer virus nicknamed Flame that collected critical intelligence in preparation for cyber-sabotage attacks aimed at slowing Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon, according to Western officials with knowledge of the effort. The massive piece of malware was designed to secretly map Iran’s computer networks and monitor the computers of Iranian officials, sending back a steady stream of intelligence used to enable an ongoing cyberwarfare campaign, according to the officials. The effort, involving the National Security Agency, the CIA and Israel’s military, has included the use of destructive software such as the so-called Stuxnet virus to cause malfunctions in Iran’s nuclear enrichment equipment.

Iran threatens to hit US targets worldwide

Iran threatens to hit US targets worldwide

"The issue of a military attack from America on the Islamic Republic of Iran has been on the agenda for several years," said Sajjadi. The building provocation [...]

Obama visit: Australia agrees US Marine deployment plan

Obama visit: Australia agrees US Marine deployment plan

Voicing security concerns and the increased military influence of China, Australia and President Obama have reached an agreement, which will deploy a company of US Marines, approximately 250 personnel, into Australia.  The contingent is expected to grow to 2,500 eventually.  China is not to thrilled with the prospect and a communist party controlled editorial warned that it was "certain" that if "Australia uses its military bases to help the US harm Chinese interests, then Australia itself will be caught in the crossfire". The move is seen as a shift by the Obama Administration from the Middle East to Asia. Obama is on an official visit to Australia and will visit a memorial in Darwin to honour US and Australian soldiers killed during World War II.  After his stop in Darwin, the [...]

Democrat Approved: Occupy Portland Protesters Sing F**K the USA

Occupy Portland: Protesters Sing F@#k the USA October 15, 2011 - Protesters at Saturday's Occupy Portland demonstration vented some of their anger at the capitalist system by setting the phrase "F*** the U.S.A." to music and performing it.
