-Flashback to 2011: ElBaradei Outed by Own Movement as Western Stooge
'Now almost a year after the US-engineered "Arab Spring" began, it seems protest leader Mohamed ElBaradei has predictably outlived his usefulness, albeit much sooner than expected. According to Egypt's Almasry Alyoum, a member of ElBaradei's own National Front for Change, Mamdouh Hamza, has outed him as "having strong ties to Zionist institutions" and sitting directly on the board of trustees of George Soros' International Crisis Group. ElBaradei, who has been fighting similar (and true) accusations for months, is now facing perhaps an irrevocable setback emanating from within his own movement.'

Elbaradei and the International Crisis Group
'ElBaradei served on the Board of Trustees of the International Crisis Group, a non-governmental organization that enjoys an annual budget of over $15 million and is bankrolled by the Carnegie, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Soros himself serves as a member of the organization’s Executive Committee.'

'Parliament will be embroiled in another expenses scandal unless MPs are given an above-inflation pay rise, parliament's independent adviser has warned.'
----------------------------------------------------------
MPs use children to claim more expenses
'The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) has given the MPs special dispensation to claim higher expenses to rent bigger properties and to pay for their children’s travel.
The rules were relaxed in 2011 following lobbying from MPs who can now claim thousands of pounds extra for each child they register with the expenses regulator.
At least nine Government ministers have registered to benefit, Ipsa has disclosed. Some MPs have made more than £10,000 on the scheme. Such a perk would not be available in the private sector and will add to the debate over the pay and perks packages of MPs.'

Jet set John Bercow: How the Speaker's 20-stop global tour helped rack up £100,000 in travel expenses in three years (including an £84 bill for a limo to drive just one mile)
'Commons Speaker John Bercow has run up a £100,000 bill in just three years on a taxpayer-funded tour of Britain and the world, MailOnline can reveal.
Details of the huge costs include jetting off to almost 20 countries, trips to have his portrait painted and an official car to take him just one mile up the road to tour the offices of the MPs' expenses watchdog.
The revelations have sparked a furious response from MPs, who have been targeted by Mr Bercow with a string of increasingly irate outbursts in the Commons in recent days.'

The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On Sunday
What intelligence whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and others have revealed about the scale of human surveillance worldwide was not a revelation to me. Research these subjects at any length and to any depth and you will know that there are two worlds, the seen and the unseen, operating in the same ‘space’ while masquerading as one.
First there is the world that humanity in general experiences as the seen. This is where governments are chosen by the ballot box through something called ‘democracy’ and from this come laws and regulations that apply to everyone, including governments, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, military, and so on.
This world doesn’t really exist in any form except in theory and the structure of government and ‘democracy’ in all its expressions is there to control the population, not to hold itself to account. The ‘laws’ apply only to the ‘little people’, with increasingly rare exceptions, while the other world does as it likes.
It is the realm of Satanism, secret societies, semi-secret groups, banks and corporations that dictate public policy and the direction of human society by imposing the laws from the shadows which, in the world of the seen, appear on the surface to be the work of politicians accountable to The People through open debate and elections.
In this realm of the unseen there are no laws or checks and balances on unfettered power. It is, after all, the realm created by unfettered power to infinitely expand unfettered power. In short, it does whatever it wants without challenge or accountability, except in the sense that lower levels of the unseen are strictly accountable to those above them.
The unseen hierarchy is accountable only to itself and not at all to the hierarchy of the seen that we see as governments, intelligence agencies, law enforcement and military. Once you realise this there is nothing in theme that even an insider like Edward Snowden can tell you that is not already obvious, a gimme.
The fact that so many – not least in the media – have reacted with shock and outrage shows just how firewalled the unseen is from the perceptions of the seen. I share the outrage, but not the shock.

'The Vatican has reportedly called on Brazil's government to provide a £26 million bailout to help cover an expected shortfall in funding for the visit of the Pope to Rio de Janeiro later this month.
A deficit in the expected millions of pilgrims - whose contributions were expected to largely fund the cost - led to the Vatican identifying a black hole of up to £44 million, according to Brazilian media.
But Brazil's federal, state and city officials in Rio de Janeiro, who have already committed at least £48 million of public money to the £100 million plus project, are said to have refused to contribute any more.'

'When Section 13 was repealed by the federal government on June 26th, 2013 there was great rejoicing among Canadians who have been witnessing the tragic events that have unfolded over the past few decades due to the draconian nature of this unjust piece of legislation tucked away in the Canadian Human Rights Act. I was one of those who was glad to see it finally repealed but as Marc Lemire explains in his article below it's not as if a general amnesty had suddenly been declared for those who were already under the gun and had been accused under this specious legislation prior to the June 26th repeal.
Like Marc and others I too was being forced to participate in that charade right up until the time that Marc's case was heard by the Canadian Human Right's Tribunal and the Tribunal declared it to be unconstitutional. It was then that my case and others like mine were all stayed when the Canadian Human Rights Commission appealed the Tribunal's decision and forced Marc to then have to then contest their appeal in the federal court.'

'The Care Quality Commission admitted earlier this week to putting its own reputation before the truth and said there had been a culture of “incompetence, suppression and oppression”.
However, despite promising a “radical overhaul” of the organisation, the watchdog’s bosses are recruiting a new spin doctor with the task of “expertly managing” its reputation. According to new parliamentary figures obtained by Charlotte Leslie, a Conservative MP and member of the health select committee, the new recruit will be joining an 11-strong public affairs team.'

'At some point in your life, you will experience the ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ where it seems that everything that can possibly go wrong, will go wrong. What many people fail to realize is that this is a true blessing.The ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ occurs when your life appears to hit rock bottom. You may experience a plethora of ‘bad breaks’ in your personal life, financially, mentally and/or physically.
What typically happens during the ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ is that we get so pounded by all of these experiences that we end up reflecting on “Why did this happen to me?”'

'Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview published Thursday that his government had fended off everything his enemies had thrown at him and that the only remaining threat to his rule was a far-off — and improbable — foreign intervention.
In comments to the state-run Al-Thawra newspaper, Assad rejected the idea that what has transpired in Syria for more than two years is a revolution. Instead, he reiterated his past claims that it is a conspiracy by Western and some Arab states to destabilize his country.
He also praised this week's massive protests by Egyptians against their Islamist leader and said the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi meant the end of "political Islam."'

'How many of you believe that this country is plunging head first into a state of revolution? How many of you believe that a planned currency collapse coupled with the implementation of a brutal martial law and gun confiscation will be the trigger events which will incite the coming revolution?
Many of us in the alternative media believe that this is the likely scenario that will very soon turn this country into the most dangerous country on the face of the earth. It might behoove us to look a little closer at the nature of revolution in order to predict where all of this is likely headed.
In the present political climate, I see no way to stem the tide of unthinkable brutality and violence which seems imminent. It is in this mindset that I set about to research the topic of revolution and this series of articles reflects the results of the research. And as a result of past and common patterns of revolution, it appears as if a clear picture is beginning to emerge.'

'On Tuesday, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy refused to allow Morales' plane, which was flying from Moscow back to Bolivia, to cross their airspace. Morales' life had been put in danger by the forced emergency landing in Austria, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said after the incident.
Speaking on Thursday in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba where the leaders of Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina and Uruguay gathered to show their solidarity with the Bolivian president, Morales blamed the US for pressuring European states to refuse to allow his plane to fly through their airspace. He added that his plane was forced to land in the Austrian capital Vienna, and called it a violation of international law.
"We do not need the embassy of the United States," said Morales, adding that leaders of his party -- the Movement for Socialism-Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the Peoples -- had asked him to take action.'

'Americans outraged by the federal government’s spying programs took to the streets on Independence Day for “Restore the Fourth” protests in an estimated 100 American cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Memphis and Miami, plus international cities such as London and Munich.
The “Restore the Fourth” national protest was named after the Fourth Amendment, which was intended to protect Americans against “unreasonable searches and seizures.”
The NSA’s PRISM online surveillance program was exposed by Edward Snowden only weeks ago. Americans soon learned that at least nine Internet companies reportedly submitted to government surveillance of their servers: Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL and Apple.'

'Broke nations are bailing out other broke nations with borrowed money. Round and round we go – where we stop nobody knows. As of April, 41 different countries had active financial “arrangements” with the IMF. Sometimes they are called “bailouts” and sometimes they are called other things, but in every single case they involve loans. And most of the time, these loans come with very stringent conditions. It is a form of “global governance” that most people don’t even know about.
For decades, the IMF has been able to use money as a way to force developing nations to do what it wants them to do. But up until fairly recently, this had mostly only been done with poor nations. But now an increasing number of wealthy nations are turning to the IMF for help. We have already seen Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus receive bailouts which were partly funded by the IMF, Spain has received a bailout for its banking sector, and as I noted yesterday, it is being projected that Italy will need a major bailout within six months. How long can this go on before the entire system collapses?'

'He represents the worst of rogue governance. He does so lawlessly. He serves monied interests. They own him. Whatever they want they get.
He violates core rule of law principles. He mocks democratic rule. He's waging multiple imperial wars. He's doing so on humanity. He plans others. He looted the nation's wealth. He handed it to Wall Street, war profiteers, and other corporate crooks.
He wrecked the economy. He lets popular needs go begging. He ignores growing poverty, unemployment, hunger, homelessness and despair. He governs by diktat. He permits lawless torture. Global renditions persist on his watch...'

'Last week on Generations Radio, Colorado pastors Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner addressed the forest fires hitting their state. They wondered why God was punishing Colorado with the fires, and specifically targeting the heavily conservative city of Colorado Springs.
The two ultimately determined that the forest fires were linked to the state’s liberal abortion laws and the recent success of civil union legislation. Swanson added that a Denver Post photograph of State House Majority Leader Mark Ferrandino kissing his partner also played a role in inviting God’s wrath.'

'If there is one thing you need to remember at all times in the Electronic Age, it is that privacy no longer exists. Every electronic device, every electronic communication, every electronic anything betrays your sense of privacy in every imaginable way, and that is also true of a seemingly innocuous item - the photo.
If taken with a smartphone - as many photos these days certainly are - then the government, as well as ordinary folk (including those who mean you harm) can use metadata embedded in that photo you just tweeted or posted on Facebook to find out your exact coordinates. That includes where you live, if that's where you sent or posted the photo from, according to a new investigative report by McClatchy Newspapers:
The GPS location information embedded in a digital photo is an example of so-called metadata, a once-obscure technical term that's become one of Washington's hottest new buzzwords.'

In order to avoid a cancer warning label in California, Pepsi and Coca-Cola Co.—which together account for almost 90 percent of the soda market according to industry tracker Beverage Digest—both reportedly adjusted their formulas across the U.S. in March in order to disclude the chemical called 4-methylimidazole or 4-Mel.

The NYPD leadership had an opportunity to safeguard the First Amendment protections of those gathered to mark 11 years of war and destruction in Afghanistan. Instead, the police chose to arrest 25 vets and supporters, charging them with violating a rarely enforced 10 pm curfew at the memorial. Their trial will hinge on whether their constitutional and international human rights to speech and assembly may be superceded by municipal park regulations.'

'As the Obama administration maneouvres to get traction for more overt and deadly military intervention in Syria, it may be time to reflect on other times at which a US administration has tried to legitimise a military response. There were Colin Powell’s 2003 lies about WMD. In 1990 there were lies about babies being thrown out of incubators.
Susan Rice lied by telling the world that Libyan loyalist troops were being issued Viagra and instructed to commit mass rapes. When the US wants to start a war, it lies, and these are very big lies. What is more, even once the lies are discovered and broadcast our historical narrative is somehow contrived to seem as if there were no such lies.
With a rigidity that rivals any “totalitarian” regime you could name it becomes impossible to deviate. Just because the US put huge amounts of time and effort into deceiving everyone in order to go to war, it doesn’t mean they wanted war. On the contrary, they were victims of their own lies. In Stalin’s or Hitler’s regimes it was unthinkable to accuse the authorities of any mistakes, in our totalitarianism it is impossible to accuse the US regime of doing anything on purpose.'
