Afghan Presidential Candidates Debate Foreign Policy

With only a month left before Presidential elections, U.S. diplomats have signaled a willingness to finalize the BSA with a new administration in Kabul once Karzai steps down. Nearly all of the 11 candidates have expressed support for the deal.

(KABUL TOLO News) - Three of the 11 presidential candidates participated in the third televised TOLOnews debate on Tuesday night, exchanging views on foreign policy ahead of the April vote.

The candidates - Zalmai Rassoul, Ashraf Ghani-Ahmadzai, and Abdullah Abdullah - went head-to-head in heated exchanges during the debate, answering questions for nearly two hours. Moderator Mujahid Kakar first asked the candidates if they accepted the Durand Line, the border separating Afghanistan from Pakistan.

Putin`s Price for Peace is Simple

Putin's price for peace is simple. The removal of the illegal Western-backed interim 'government' from Kiev. Otherwise he's moving in.

(WASHINGTON DC) - Behind the diplomatic verbiage, Russian President Putin was clearly on the offensive.

He let it be understood that unless the US and Europe rid Kiev of the “fascist gangs,” which had taken over, Moscow would move forces into additional parts of Ukraine to uphold its interests and “protect the Russian citizens and compatriots living there” for as long as the interim regime remained in Kiev.

Ukraine--Do you know? Why not??

Do you know according to polls if Crimeans were allowed to vote they would join with Russia?

(JAMESTOWN, RI) - How about the irony or even the humor of John Kerry condemning Russia for “invading another country on a trumped up pretext”?

One might think media outlets would point out just how foolish his scolding sounds in light of our invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan on “trumped up” claims.

Propaganda Rules The News

The Obama regime and its presstitutes will continue to lie about everything.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Gerald Celente calls the Western media “presstitutes,” an ingenuous term that I often use. Presstitutes sell themselves to Washington for access and government sources and to keep their jobs.

Ever since the corrupt Clinton regime permitted the concentration of the US media, there has been no journalistic independence in the United States except for some Internet sites.

Ukraine-Official Statement from Liverpool British National Party

What's going on - and what should Britain do?

(LONDON) - With William Hague and other Westminster warmongers traipsing between TV studios to condemn Russian intervention in Ukraine, most clued-up nationalists instinctively reject the controlled media's propaganda.

They are, of course, right. As principled nationalists, we naturally sympathise with the desire of Ukrainians...

Veterans: Sacrificial Lambs

All Americans should contact their respective members of Congress and Senate and advise them to do what is right for our veterans.

(MEDIA, PA) - Our Legislators have no qualms sending our men and women in uniform into harms way. We who served and those who continue to serve do what is expected in service for our Country, even if it means the giving of our life. Eventually we become Veterans.

Some of us at some point need help from our government, usually in the form of VA benefits.

General Kayumba Nyamwasa residence attacked by gunmen in Johannesburg (South Africa)

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Over ten years ago Allison Des Forges, the first prominent researcher on Rwanda and the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, wrote about Kagame and how he eliminates his political dissidents with impunity.

Kagame goes to great lengths to imprison, kill or drive into exile and then even hunts them down in exile to silence them.

The War on Emotions is Driving Us Insane

What can we do if abusers will not (or, more accurately, cannot) listen to us, because they are too afraid?

(TASMANIA, Aust.) - Have you ever been provoked by someone into fear, anger or pain, and then blamed, punished or humiliated for feeling and expressing these feelings?

This is a form of psychological torture which has very serious consequences. Here are three stories that demonstrate how commonly this form of torture occurs in human society.

"Slavery is the legal fiction that a person is property. Corporate personhood is the legal fiction that property is a person." -- Anonymous

(DULUTH, MN) - In 2010 the NeoConservative, pro-corporate, anti-democratic Roberts’ 5/4 Supreme Court’s decided in the Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission ruling to grant personhood to corporations by allowing unlimited, anonymous monetary contributions to political campaigns and candidates.

This ruling has emboldened the already powerful and corruptible multinational corporations...
