A woman has come forward claiming that she was a victim of a pedophile ring that included three former Australian prime ministers and was prostituted at parties in the Parliament House in Canberra.
More than 25 European countries cooperated with the CIA’s rendition, torture and secret prison program, and the quest for accountability continues today. “This is a sordid story that does Europe shame,” says Nils Muižnieks, the Council of Europe’s commissioner for human rights. “[European countries] facilitated these human rights violations — they should be accountable before their citizens and before international law.”
The Republican antics in the hearings of the Benghazi Committee in the House or Representatives are a good example illustrating how broken American politics have become. The clear aim is narrowly political: to embarrass Hillary Clinton (and President Obama) for partisan reasons, while avoiding the roots of the larger Libyan debacle that flowed from the US led intervention. Accounting for the deeper causes of the Libyan debacle is off limits, because just about everyone’s hands are dirty: Our bombing campaign was supported by the Republican neo-cons and their humanitarian interventionist allies in the Obama White House, as well as a majority of the Republican congressional leadership* and most Democrats in Congress. So, the Democrats have tried to present the hearings as yet another anti-Clinton witch hunt for the parallel reason of partisan domestic politics.
The feds could choke off the supply of pills flooding American streets tomorrow. Instead, they let Big Pharma crank out 300 tons of it last year. The federal government is actively fueling a killer drug epidemic behind closed doors.
“The Clean Energy Future represents a pathway away from climate destruction…. Should we let greed and inertia prevent us from taking it?'
The U.S. can reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050, while creating half a million jobs a year and lowering energy costs for consumers, simply by limiting use of fossil fuels and allowing the renewables sector continue to grow at its current pace, according to a new report published this week.

To mark the 70th anniversary of the victory against Nazism, we publish a study of Valentin Katasonov on the financing of the NSDAP and rearmament of the Third Reich. The author draws on material published in 2012 that confirm the organization of the Second World War by states-uniens and British bankers, covered by President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, hoping to destroy the USSR. This study raises new questions that will be addressed in a future article.
The neo-fascists among the demonstrators actually initiated and undertook most of the shootings — often with hunting rifles — firing first at police (hence, the some 20 officers shot at the time) and then at demonstrators.
