MrArbitrage at Table Of Wisdom.com - 6 minutes ago
I am not a fan of Bill O'Reilly and I have not read any of his books.

Many of the Islamist terrorists shot their way into the In Amenas compound
on Thursday using the AK104 model of Kalashnikov, which was typically used

They brought F5 rockets that also surfaced in the Libyan war, said the
security source.
The Islamists wore the same type of outfits that Qatar provided to Libyan
National Transitional Council rebels by Qatar – yellow flak jackets with
brown patches, known as "chocolate chip" camouflage. The garments are

Black hole collision may have irradiated Earth in eighth century

A study last year found unusually high levels of the isotope carbon-14 in
ancient rings of Japanese cedar trees and a corresponding spike in

The readings were traced back to a point in AD 774 or 775, suggesting that
during that period the Earth was hit by an intense burst of radiation, but
researchers were initially unable to determine its cause.
Now a separate team of astronomers have suggested it could have been due to
the collision of two compact stellar remnants such as black holes, neutron

Eritrean troops lay siege to ministry
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 3 hours ago
Eritrean soldiers with tanks laid siege to the information ministry on
Monday and forced state media to call for political prisoners to be freed,
a senior intelligence official said.
The renegade soldiers had not gone as far as to call for the overthrow of
the government of one of Africa's most secretive states, long at odds with
the United States and accused of human rights abuses.
Eritrea has been led by Isaias Afewerki, 66, for some two decades since it
broke from bigger neighbor Ethiopia.

Revolutionary Japan is suddenly the centre of world affairs
Matt at The Coming Crisis - 14 hours ago
So Japan may not slide into genteel oblivion after all. To the surprise of
the Japanese people, their country is smack in the middle of two riveting
dramas that threaten to upturn the global strategic landscape in short
order.
Newspapers may soon have to re-open their Tokyo bureaux, shut down long ago
when the investment bubble burst and one Lost Decade stretched into another.
We all watch with disbelief as China and Japan rattle sabres over the
Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, so like the seemingly minor events that drew
Europe's alliance systems into conflict from 1911 onwards.

Cameron: Fight against Islamic terrorism in North Africa will last for decades
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 14 hours ago
Britain and the West face a decades-long battle against Islamist terrorism
in North Africa, a grim-faced David Cameron warned today.
The Prime Minister said the attack was a 'stark reminder' of the threat
from the region, which he likened to that from Afghanistan and Pakistan -
and vowed to use Britain's chairmanship of the G8 group of leading nations
to shape the international response.
Government sources played down the prospect of British 'boots on the

Illegal immigrants pay £1,500 to be smuggled OUT of Britain: Fears gangs are helping foreign criminals flee the country
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 15 hours ago
Illegal
immigrants are paying criminal gangs £1,500 a time to smuggle them
out of Britain, it emerged last night.
The foreign nationals – many of whom sneaked into the UK undetected in
the
first place – are put in the back of lorries and transported to France.
By avoiding contact with the authorities they can travel on to a
European
destination of their choice, rather than risk being sent back to their
homeland thousands of miles away.

The French intervention in Mali and Israel

Dreamliner probe widens after excess battery voltage ruled out

U.S. safety investigators on Sunday ruled out excess voltage as the cause
of a battery fire this month on a Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner jet operated by
Japan Airlines Co (JAL) and said they were expanding the probe to look at
the battery's charger and the jet's auxiliary power unit.
Last week, governments across the world grounded the Dreamliner while
Boeing halted deliveries after a problem with a lithium-ion battery on a
second 787 plane, flown by All Nippon Airways Co (ANA), forced the aircraft
to make an emergency landing in western Japan.
