Sashko Bily Murdered: Night of the Long Knives Begins in Ukraine
Oleksandr Muzychko aka Sashko Bily of the extremist Right Sector group that
was instrumental in backing the US backed coup d’etat in Kiev was shot dead
by police yesterday. Has the Night of the Long Knives arrived? Has “Yats” been
given the order to clean up his unelected regime to make the country safe
for corporate plunder? There are conflicting stories about the killing of
Muzychnko, one being that the brutal thug was gunned down while trying to
escape what is officially described as a "special forces operation" that
took place at a cafe in the city of Rivne in western Ukraine.... more »
Max Clifford's penis (NSFW)
I never thought that I'd write a piece with that heading!
Max Clifford's trial was previously told that women had claimed that Max
Clifford had claimed to have only a 'tiny' penis.
Today I read that '"His doctor has recently measured his penis. "When
flaccid, it is five and a quarter inches long - certainly not freakishly
small, certainly not enormous"
Five and a quarter inches flaccid? Wikipedia (don't visit this page if

WE CALL IT DEMOCRACY
Most folks don't pay much attention to politics anymore. They've given up,
they are depressed (financially and emotionally), likely on meds, and long
ago determined that it was a waste of time to fight city hall.....let alone

mouth off at work or in the local bar. People are indeed agitated.

You Know What They Say About Old Dogs And New Tricks-- Meet Crooked Conservative, Ro Khanna
Republicans know they will never win the CA-17 congressional seat. It's way

Minor touching to de escalate a situation not assault
In *Reid*, [2004] O.J. No. 1641 (C.J.), the accused was acquitted on the
charge of assault causing bodily harm where she took hold of the
complainant's arm in the course of stepping outside of a residence to
discuss a contentious matter with her, and the complainant fell down the
stairs and broke her arm. The court, applying *Wolfe *(1974), 20 C.C.C.(2d)

Musings On Iraq Security Report Mar 15-21, 2014

After a slight dip in operations the Iraqi insurgency camp back with a
vengeance in the third week of March 2014. While the total number of
attacks was within the range of previous weeks of 2014, the casualties were
the highest of the year so far. This was largely the result of a large
number of car bombings by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS),
which are used in mass casualty attacks.
The number of reported attacks in the third week of March was only a few
more than the previous week but the resulting deaths and wounded were the

Has The Revolt Begun?
It's beginning to look, Lawrence Martin writes, like the revolt has begun:
Last week, the Supreme Court offered a declaration of its independence,
reminding the Prime Minister that its power is constitutionally entrenched,
not subject to his whims or arrogance. In pushing a highly controversial
choice on the court, the PM tried to retroactively rewrite the rules via
one of his much-criticized omnibus bills. The court’s stinging rebuke was
applauded by pundits and editorialists across the land.

While it's true that we're confronted with "details" of this kind on an

How Many More Billions In Taxpayer Dollars Will The Military Industrial Complex Waste On Pakistan's Corrupt Oligarchy?
Unless you read your *NY Times* in Pakistan, where the story was disappeared,
you probably read about how the Pakistanis knew exactly where Osama
bin-Laden was while they took billions of dollars in American aid and
pretended to be looking for him. This wasn't really a secret, just another
manifestation of the expensive dysfunction that the U.S. spy agencies have
always been. Right from the beginning. Failure, failure, failure-- and
billions and billions and unknowable billions of dollars wasted. The spy
agencies aren't worth shit-- except for unconstitutional spying on American

Press Conference with Lin Fei-fan and Chen Wei-ting
It is often overheard that the student protesters (coming from the top
universities in Taiwan) outmatch the Ma administration intellectually, but

25 And In Transition
I was tagged in a little Facebook meme by an old school mate and thought
I'd do an extended post here. Essentially it's a trip down memory lane as
I have to think back to when I was 25 and share a few things about my life
then. As it turns out, it was a good age to be randomly assigned since
that was a pretty big year in my life with many changes.

No Dogs No Blacks No Jews
The real apartheid state is Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have just refused
access to their country for one of the journalists due to accompany Barack
Obama to that country. That one journalist is not an Israeli, not that
banning Israelis would be in any way acceptable, but he is Jewish.
Will Barack Obama take a stand on this issue? Of course not, he's got oil
producing, Jihad enabling arses to kiss in Saudi Arabia and anyway it's
only Jews that will be upset and why should Barack Obama care about the
feelings of Jews?

Grindstones Make Grit
With Seligman disciple, Angela Duckworth, teaming up with KIPP co-father,
Dave Levin, the industrial child psychologists have an able researcher and
an experimental site to figure out how to roughen up the grindstone to
reduce more urban children to piles of grit.
At this point, we don't know what the how much grit will be ground out by
subjecting children to years of screaming, labeling, threatening, social
isolation, impossible demands, humiliation, and constant surveillance, but
the corporate charter reform schoolers are hellbent to find out.

Two Iraqi newspapers, New Sabah and Iraq Times recently disclosed new

money and kidnappings, but added information on stealing salaries from the
security forces and charging money for imports. The governorate capital
Mosul is an infamous urban base for the Islamic State of Iraq and the

Austerity never actually occurred for the big shots in D.C......Eric Holder & DoJ Spent Millions Of Taxpayer Dollars On Unreported Personal Travel - - The agency that tracks federal travel did not report hundreds of personal and other “nonmission” trips aboard government planes for senior Justice Department officials including Attorney General Eric Holder and former FBI Director Robert Mueller ..... Congress’s nonpartisan Government Accountability Office determined that the 395 flights cost taxpayers $7.8 million. But the General Services Administration, which oversees trips aboard federal jets, did not require documentation because of a GSA reporting exemption that covers intelligence agencies, even in cases of unclassified personal travel. Considering travel extravagance from the President and First Lady , no wonder the Minions are running amok on the tazpayer dimes !

In the case of Refah Partisi v Turkey, the ECHR upheld the Turkish
Constitutional Court's dissolution of The Welfare Party (Refah Partisi) for
violating Turkey's principle of secularism (by calling for the
re-introduction of religious law). The ECHR held "that sharia is
incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy."
